iuvo's sketchbook - March 26

[iuvo]

So, hi. Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Nikoline. I'm 23, live in Denmark, and aspire to become a better artist.
I'm doing daily studies to improve my anatomy, story telling, colour-sense, composition etc, etc.

If you have any comments or critiques, please don't hesitate to share.

Some recent illustrations I've done, to show where I'm at.






last one titled: "heroics"

And some recent studies, to kick things off for me:

The last one in post #2 is funny =3 Keep it up.

[iuvo]

Creusa: Hey, thanks! I really like your stuff.

Slow week for me, here are some work

For a contest entitled "surprise"



For the same contest, entitled "Game over"

[iuvo]

So, some figure sketching. Doing standing poses at the moment. I've always done studies but never taken it as seriously as I do now. I do things from mind as well while I'm doing these, but usually it's too embarressing to post.

I have no idea if I'm doing it right. But I guess it can only help. Tips and pointers appreciated.







Thanks for looking!

Self portrait day today. I think I jumped too quickly into rendering, but otherwise, I think I'm improving.



edit: touched it up slightly.

Hey all, thank you for the comments, they are encouraging.

kevinwueste: Hey, thanks man, I enjoy your stuff very much. It's photopshop, the approach is basically: (step 2-3 is just detailing)



Here's some of today's. I did this thing where I found just one pose, looked at it, then put it away and tried to draw it from memory. Then looked at it again to see where I was wrong and tried again. And again.. And so on. I sucked at it, but I think it might be helful in the long run.



Here I drew the study first, to see how much I remembered.
