i can defenetly c the improvement on you nice job keep it upp ...

[UnSharpened]

Remarkable improvement! I guess that's everyone's say.
Yet I do impressed by your range of experimenting with different subjects, which makes you progress rapidly. I love you line work in ID stuff(or not?), especially the last post of environment in #212. I am also wondering how did you draw those smooth curve in #221 in digital , is there any tip?

Keep it up!!

[killermachine]

you are goin raaaaad brother

[MeTaL-Mike]

Great man. love the las painting. very nice. your sketches are really good man.

[bbassir]

You are the f'n coolest man! I love your environments. The one with the faces on the trees is amazing! Your figures are really improving AND your color! Kudos!

[JellevdVegt]

thanks all!!

UnSharpened, my 'smooth' lines in post 221 was just with the standard round brush in PS with dynamics pressure. all standard stuff

i've been busy working and no time for drawing. all time i have im drawing industrial design stuff. i want to learn and get better in designs. anyone has a tip?

small update some faces just for fun nothing special, i like drawing with ballpointpen lately.

bye

[yoitisi]

A tip? Go join IDW I think you would do great there.

How did the underlay work out for you? If you need help with it just let me know.

Oh, and great sketchbook you've got going on here. I'd swear I've posted in here before but it seems I didn't. Somehow I like those tree designs on the previous page, along with the color study of the fish

[JellevdVegt]

yoitisi: he guido, thanks, maybe i will do that sometime.

well, i havent posted for a while. reason for this is that i was totally uninspired and only lurking at all the great artists out there. so i decided to step back and actually dont look for a while at others and concentrate more about what i want. so i decided to draw a lot more from life/photo. i did some self portraits and really frustrated me, but in the end it worked out. i will post them soon. i even drawn at a coffeeshop just stuff and interior. i really learn that its import to squeeze you eyes and see the overall values..

here is a landscape from photoref.

[Exquisite Beast]

Great update man. Looking fineeeeeeeee. I wanna see some non refs.

[JellevdVegt]

Exquisite Beast: thanks, this post will contain non ref material

quick digital painting out of my imagination, i kinda like the composition so maybe i'll finish it

[CatConvention]

i like it!
But that ref of the sunset(sunrise?) looks fine but it painted it as if it was verrry pixelly.
Maybe don't use a square brush so much , or maybe use it but blend with a more softer brush.

[algenpfleger]

Great brushwork Sir, and the colors on that sunrise are spot on.

[joaKimArt]

I like the muscle man studie, nice to watch. Pretty nice sketches and other stuff. Keep it up.

[JellevdVegt]

xxzxczx_me: thanks, well, thats what i usually do. on the other hand i sometimes like to do my paintings quick. so thats why some of my square brushstrokes are not blended well. good pointer

algenpfleger:thanks sir, you got some nice brushwork aswell

joaKimArt:thanks joakim

[JellevdVegt]

some painting tonal studies. learning some things about composition. yeah i know the water sux on the second. im thinkin about finishing the last one in full color. first 2 from photo ref, last one from my mind

[JellevdVegt]

i took the last sketch to the next level. i had this vision in my mind of the kid having an encounter with an alien. i was a little bit inspired by leo snow's awesome paintings with rimlights

i got 2 versions, the low version is how intended it. then i was messin around with layer options and the above one i really liked. what do you guys think looks best?

[JellevdVegt]

yesterday i saw the movie 'no country for old men'. one of the best films i've seen in a long while. so i decided to do a paint study of the psycho killer

[luness]

Hi there!

You've got a very nice sketchbook, Teh Gosu.
About the last posting, I like the one above the most. That alien, with that really big head, looks awesome.

Keep posting!

[JellevdVegt]

luness: thank you luness!

since im in the posting mood this weekend, i've scanned some thingies.

first is a sp, second are hand from life / ref, 3th is composition study

[JellevdVegt]

worker robot, hope you like

[Nellin]

wOw the last thrre pieces are amazing like the one with the UFO in particular.. Great Job!

[Christina Nastasi]

i have some lowsy sketches of the period i did some game design for a school project. i decided to show them here.
also some new thumbnails of environments, just expirimenting

bye!

I really like the first one here. In an earlier post you had some similar drawings under the heading of "old drawings". I really like these. Your use of line is very nice and full of energy. I also enjoy the first piece in your first post. Very nice work, I can't wait to see more.

[Osmus]

holy crap i just got 60 email notifications about this thread. images are looking nice.

[Christina Nastasi]

Exquisite Beast: thanks, this post will contain non ref material

quick digital painting out of my imagination, i kinda like the composition so maybe i'll finish it

Took another look at your gallery. This is great! I hope you post the finished piece. Your robot pieces are spectacular as well.

Best of luck.

[Jonas Heirwegh]

Your render skills are a level up dude. Last one is really good! Keep it up!

[merl1n]

Hey!
Your skill has improved since you made the one with the alien. I really like that image as well as the latest robot! nicely done!

cheers

[DannyMuskens]

Holy crap your improvement is like mind blowingly epic, great work espescially the digital work! The Alien sketch is very moody and very nice, keep it up, this is great!

[UnSharpened]

Hard working man, respect.
I see the potential of the latest post, maybe there can be some back light reflecting on the dark side of him. Or even a different colour of light source, cold blue? e.g. which I think is a good match to your basic tone (brown-yellow, warm).

Keep it coming!!

[Flutic]

Amazing progress over your thread!
Love the colors and lighting in your last posts, It's so warm...mmm

Keep them coming!
Greets,Tom

[ajvenema]

hmm, i like those last robots! good progress overall!
keep lifedrawing
