Hi! Here's my sketchbook :)

[Gibi]

Hey this is a really awesome sketchbook! I especially like the drunk pirate, the Tom Sawyer-ish kid and the opera singer! Love the colors in that last one!

[*Rena*]

Hi everybody!
@Gibi: Thank you very very much

Some anatomy studies and sketches















This is a study for the character of the wich in the story Hansen and Gretel that I'm going to illustrate for enrich my portfolio.
I would like to use triangular shepes for convey a sensation of danger but I think that I'm going to work on the courve one because seems more old.

WIP


I'm tryng to use a limitate palette..... I don't know about this one ... I would like to try also different things.
What do you think?

[thesimplylife]

i think it's looks fantastic!

[*Rena*]

@thesimplylife: thank you very much





The river looks horrible I know!Water is a bitch!I don't know how to stylise it, so I'm planning a series of study on water for understanding how light works on and through it, this will be my task for the next month.
Love to hear some crits...

[kiwigarbage]

I think it looks great so far! Maybe the blue is a bit oversaturated, but it doesn't really bother me that much.

I wish I could see the edge of her foot, and I'm not sure I like where the river lines meet her head, kinda medusa-esque?

But it's super cute, I love the consistent thin line throughout the image.

Nice work!

[Naidy]

Aaaa! I'm falling more in love with your style everytime I check up here! Your stuff is really looking lovely. Keep on posting, mate!

[*Rena*]

@Kiwigarbage Thank U! You are soo right about the Medusa head!!There are a lot of tangets in that poit I don't know how I didn't spotted them before!!The foot was cut in a later version of the composition, I prefer it in this way
@Naidy 1000 thanks!!!!

Here some recent work


I'm particularly happy with this Santa Claus, well, is only a character but I like how I rendered it

I can't say the same with this one, but I didn't want to spen a more time on it, this is another Illustration Friday entry, the theme is: Grounded


And this is my new ID (I cut my hair short ^_^ )


At the moment I'm busy doing illustration for my personal project Hansel and Gretel, I've been contacted by some clients and I'm doing some stuff for them too.
Next time I'll show you some Hansel and Gretel stuff.

[Betty86]

lovely sketchbook, really like new ID pic as well as your hairstyle

[Justas]

Hey hey, Rena, haven't seen your stuff for ages Good to see you're still here hehe, ID looks awesome!

[thesimplylife]

ID looks great! and your illustrations are really lovely

[f1x]

great stuff! lovely!!!
especially the most illustrative / child's book things
very nice!!!

[Rotor]

Just wondering, do you go by the name Pewpew (or something similar, memory is tricky) in another forum?
Really nice stylised work. Something to consider is you could be a bit bolder with the weight and movement of the characters to have better flow of form.

Some serious studies in here, bones and muscles. I really like the sylized drawings,
which look very simple. Love the Hensel und Gretel stuff, congrats for your new
client I hope they'll pay you well. The Santa is way to big thou as a scann.
1400pix I guess would be enough to fill the complete screen of a laptop.
I am looking forward to see more Hensel und Gretel in here.
