**Othrandir** · October 20th, 2012, 01:14 PM

while i was painting the portrait , i noticed it looked a bit like jesus , so i put a halo in

**Othrandir** · October 23rd, 2012, 01:44 AM

**Psychobuddy** · October 24th, 2012, 11:22 AM

Erggg dude you make me very sad...
you're improving so damn fast it's not even fair, the portait of your uncle and those rendered out legs are a total step up! Just keep pushing man!

**Othrandir** · October 25th, 2012, 12:17 PM

Psychobuddy - woah , thanks buddy!

don't be saad , just get some coffee , grab your stylus and blow me out of the water like u usually do

tried some pen on my crappy sketchbook...seems like the only reasonable thing to do , side of throwing it away

started a still life , so far just an hour on it , the light changed too fast.Tomorrow I'll start working on it earlier

some more legs , male this time...so much penises :| . . .

couldn't even do a whole page

30 min doodle to release stress

bigshot lizard

I'll do more stuffs tomorrow!!!

**Othrandir** · October 26th, 2012, 12:37 PM

so i finished that still life today

added coffee to make it more realistic

aand a couple of bust studies

...need to get my anatomy dooooooown..

**Othrandir** · October 26th, 2012, 05:01 PM

I guess I wasn't done with painting for today haha here's some more stuff i did later in the day after the last post

pen sketches of my hands

( so much different with a pen

I feel like it's essential to spend some time with a pencil before jumping into clear pen)

two 30 min portraits from Hel Look photos , I really suck at these , tomorrow I'm going to have to do a bunch of those...damn faces...

and an unfinished study from lovecastle

**Psychobuddy** · October 26th, 2012, 05:56 PM

More awesome work man, make sure you watch the silhouettes when you do the lock transparency technique, or lasso or whichever variant of it you use. Make sure they look natural, and not lumpy! But I mean, you're getting better and better, I can't wait to see what's next.

**Othrandir** · October 27th, 2012, 03:13 PM

Psychobuddy - Thanks! Yeah , I definitely need to watch out about that. With the last study I think I just lost interest too early in the painting and didn't care enough to make it look nice

booring pooooost

just some hands and hands

all in pen , some frome life , some from photos , some from bumskee , some from algenpfleger...
I can really feel the pen changing me already , I love it! haha

worked on a commission today mostly , so that's all I can share for today

wish i had more...damn I'm lazy

**Othrandir** · October 27th, 2012, 05:07 PM

Just one more sketch to say goodbye to Saturday

**Othrandir** · October 28th, 2012, 03:18 PM

damn. I woke up with the biggest headache today :X Did so little today , it's embarassing...

some hands from this morning ( life, algenpfleger , photos)

more hands , almost all from mind

some bridgman and my arm over there

sketches and doodles

[img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-p3hRs8bjHSE/UI2AQ1tH1TI/AAAAAAAADM8/fwlwju8FR0o/s800/scan0011.jpg[/img

a portrait with no ref , trying to handle light a little bit better...failing obviously

more doodles , only digital

in the end i tried to do something funny and this is the best i could do with my head feeling like it's being constantly punched by The Hulk
funny , huh

**Othrandir** · October 31st, 2012, 01:06 PM

shitty photos , all heads without ref obviously

some pen sketches too...my awesome pen died...have to buy another one now

trying to get light with some simple applications

SO FUN!

**ChocolateCookie** · October 31st, 2012, 01:57 PM

**Othrandir** · November 1st, 2012, 03:01 PM

**Othrandir** · November 9th, 2012, 11:02 AM

**TNiznet** · November 9th, 2012, 11:38 AM

KEEP rocking Othrandir! I been doing similar studies lately haha, hands and heads! also you should start reading some animal anatomy books, Jack Hamm's book looked good. It will help you create dynamic creatures, since I can tell you enjoy drawing them.
