Being slow

[PontusEuxinus]

no ref this time D;

[PontusEuxinus]

Nuh ref. It´s a bit boring, i know, right : D

[Duplicitious]

your environments look great! lovely sense of depth

thing I'd pick on is edge control with your portraits, some of those edges overall are wayy too soft, like you're afraid of making a distinct edge. Maybe take a little bit from your environments, which have great defined edges and apply it more to your portraits

great job so far though! keep it up

oh and are you using the blur tool or something? how to get such soft transitions?

[Artezianin]

Colors are awesome..yes.. And other are good too of course)

[Neyut]

Hey ho!

cu arround

[Xelar]

Hi there ;D

A lot of really good stuff in here.
Your color sense has improved a lot, the master study looks great!
You tend to use too much black, though. Try to include more medium range values.

Weiter so

[PontusEuxinus]

Thanks for the advice guys. : )

Had a lot of fun with the research for the cow this week. But lost interest in the painting fast and rushed it a little bit. Looking forward to the next cow!

[PontusEuxinus]

Hello, long time no see. After a small break, hopefully I will be able to upload some digital exercises again : )
Here is a material study(source: FF13- Prada). Painted over pre-processed lines of the actual image.

[PontusEuxinus]

Texture study. Painted over pre-processed lines of actual painting. Low-res references are no fun : (

[PontusEuxinus]

Guess the influence? (: Im not happy with the grainy textures. Will do better next time, hopefully.

[Philipp Scherer]

influence? definitley KiBa, this figure looks like this small guy.
I really like the masterstudy from above, this will definitley pay off!
keep it up, looking for the next update

[KiBa]

Glad you are back again!
The FF13 study looks good. You captured this soft material very well.

We require more updates!

[LastGen]

Uuh, nice cloth study. I want to see more updates, hehe!

You gotta help me out, did we meet each other yet by chance?

[PontusEuxinus]

[kevin_]

[PontusEuxinus]

Thank you kevin! : )

Some color thumbs from ref. Last pic no ref.

[magicpudding]

Really had a thorough look at your SB and loved what I saw. I also recommend studying gesture drawing to improve your ability to draw the human form from your imagination. I recommend the following teachers: Glenn Vilippu, Michael Hampton and Mike Matessi. Awesome so far. Keep postin!

SB

[PontusEuxinus]

magicpudding thanks man, definitely going to study gestures soon. also thanks for the recommendations. that will definitely save some time on looking up for learning resources!

[PontusEuxinus]

Hello! 2 envs

[PontusEuxinus]

some photo studies. painting eyes are quite hard to me. any tips? i think its so difficult, because disproportions are more noticable than say hair. also do someone know how to adjust line tool size with shortcut? didnt find anything useful yet..



trying to widen visual library. dont know if it works. portrait+gestures

[Elias Leonard]

cool studies and environments. love your colors, they really make a good contrast in your paintings
