Nice works, you seem to be handling faces and environments very well. Try practicing more on the figure. Keep working hard!

[young paddy1]

some v. simple line stuff, obviously from ref

[young paddy1]

I just started getting rid of some of my excessive artbook collection on Amazon, first sale today yay . Mostly a brand studio press double order and a few other bits and bobs that I haven't looked at in ages.
wip. trying some full body stuff again, goddamn I've left this stuff too long.

There's a little window on Amazon to upload a company logo so I thought, what the hell and bashed out a simple little interlocking pb symbol to be mine.
although I can't decide which one I like most.

hm either 1 or 2 imo. full body's from...new zealand workshop? right? looks really good when unfocused...now to work on that rendering.

[young paddy1]

cheers Carni my personal choice I think is number 1, and yes you are correct go get a cookie from the clever jar. Did a fair bit of fettling on that study but my computer had a shit fit and dumped it.


p.s. U.K. people, just plonked some Dolor comics on Amazon, they aint half bad, Nic Klein, Min (Bumskee) Yum, Cody (Strych9ine) Tilson and Jens Classens to name a few, contributed to them.

another movie still

[young paddy1]

Trying something a little different in my approach, dunno if it's working or not. It's just some ref studies but, this is the third time I've drawn them, and no matter how hard I try I'm still shit at hands and feet.

[Carnifex]

hah,i think hands and feet are everyone's cross to bear. i usually go about trying to understand the underlying principles/muscles etc.,but it's still hard,esp. in perspective.
i'd say they look ok on the right figure.

[young paddy1]

number 133 painted, printed, woven, fettled, uploaded.

hey Carni yeah you're right, the main issue I have with them is when I try to draw them in line instead of shading as I go, I can't seem to keep the idea of form in my head very well.

Hello Paddy!
love this arachnid creatures in the post #1197... All your plain ink work is always supa strong, the same than the photo manipulation. Definitely you have a great talent for the graphic design, please keep working hard on this!
The illustration isn´t one of your strongest points but it´s a pleasure to see your efforts working in this direction, so again, keep up the good work man!

[young paddy1]

Part of the underpainting of a cg painting for a mate.

Ricardo Robles cheers matey 'tis true I am no illustrator, however I don't quite get what you mean by photo manipulations but anyway cheers again.

[young paddy1]

a little sketchy sketch.

been a little lax on the sketching front, trying to set up a little book business at the mo.

[young paddy1]

it's coming along I suppose

[Benjy]

Cool sketchbook. I like those patterns/manipulations you apply to your portraits. How do you do them?

[young paddy1]

134 I think

a bit of a scribble fest but I kinda like it.

benji cheers not sure what you mean but I use painter for everything + a little bit of processing.

[young paddy1]

135 i made a virtual version of the wooden mirror by danny rozin in sketchup.

[Carnifex]
