Me and my pixels going wild (crit appreciated!)

[jakubvavrik]

ForScience - thanks man! I am happy there is some visible progress

and some materials studies before sleep...

[Overtoom]

Your object studies are astonishing! Incredible realistic, bravo.
Nice to see some ctrl+paint in there too, really useful resource.

Think your next step to practice is more complete characters in a setting. Doing more pieces like the Demon Queen of Spiders will help a lot, as you'll use lighting you won't find in your photostudies.
Btw in response to your question about a work of mine, here is a step by step: http://sta.sh/0chy87dmp6v More complete response in my sketchbook.

@Overtoom - Thanks! But I am afraid they took me more time than I wanted... need do speed things up and do more! I will do more pieces like that spider gal, but I think i need to lvl up my perspective and anatomy first to give my characters more interesting camera angles and better realism. Nevertheless, I want to do one finished piece every week.

today's morning studies

[jakubvavrik]

Morning studies and my sketch for current chow.

[jakubvavrik]

Today's try with thumbnail generation technique. I need to figure out what should I place in lower left corner to balance composition :/

[jakubvavrik]

sketches

[Papu]

Nothing else to say, other than keep it up

[jakubvavrik]

@Papu - thanks I will do my best

study for today

[MrFrenik]

Great construction studies and gestures for your figures, man. Definitely the right way to go with these. In most of your renderings, you could do well to push your values more than you have and to make more observations about how to apply harder and softer edges. Right now it's in the "mid-zone", where your edges are exactly hard or soft and none of your values are pushed to either 0 or 10, greyscale wise. Other than that, great work and I'll definitely be back to check out some updates!

[jakubvavrik]

@MrFrenik - Thanks for input You are certainly right i need to work on my edge control and values. I will focus on these things on next studies.... glad you pointed that out

For today imagination stuff without ref... need to do more of this also

[jakubvavrik]

Portrait from photography - trying better edge control. I will finish it tomorrow

[jakubvavrik]

morning study time

[jakubvavrik]

Worked on her more, but still unfinished due to time limitations.

[jakubvavrik]

away from my pc until monday, so traditional media for next days

[jakubvavrik]

These things are harder than they look

[jakubvavrik]

sorry for crappy photo

[Epoch_92]

I LOVE the way you draw figures.
They're so well put together, anatomy and proportion wise, so they look like little people running around on paper. I don't know if that makes sense, but yeah. XD
I also love your shading, like for the giant hand. That was awesome work!

[jakubvavrik]

@Epoch_92 - thanks man but i have still lot to learn

today's try with watercolors
