Ridiculous stuff man, you've gotten me really inspired.
Can't wait to see more.

**purb36** · August 18th, 2009, 08:35 PM

dude, you're sooooo versatile, it's not even funny. i never know what i'll see next; thanks for the surprises!

**Jeff Lai** · August 18th, 2009, 08:42 PM

I just have to say I love the painting of the tree!
great to see lots of experimenting/drawing

**Yngling** · August 20th, 2009, 04:37 PM

Thanks all! Somehow, it feels very strange to see people inspired by my work, while I am realizing more and more how much I've left to learn...It seems the tree painting is a hit...even though it's so simple. Perhaps a lesson to be learnt here?

I promised I'd do more of the still studies. Wanted to do more, but I enjoyed the movie too much

. Hadn't seen it in a long time, but it was once, and perhaps still is, my favourite movie. I'll get back to it tomorrow, because there were some nice scenes I spotted while watching. As for guessing, this is just too easy, I bet the first one stumbling in here will recognize it immediately.

scruffy-looking...nerf-herder.

**ajvenema** · August 21st, 2009, 01:17 PM

yo dude! i'vent been very active here for a while, but i checked your updates, and i was impressed by the diversity. you have a talent for fast adapting techniques. very useful for an illustrator

i also think the stuff with the colored dots and stripes is beginning to work. first they were more like a lot of dots on a face, but now the dots and stripes are actually beginning to form the face! would be interesting to do more with that. ive no clue about the second movie btw

oh, and weres the tread for the postcard thing? looks nice

**Yngling** · August 31st, 2009, 01:47 PM

purb36: Who's scruffy lookin'?

Aj: Glad to hear that!

So, school's started again and I'm really looking forward to this year! I'm determined to work hard and learn more about where I stand and what I want, things that still remain elusive as ever. At least now I'm wondering about these things, so the answers will come in time. And of course I'm looking forward to making some kickass work that I can be proud of!

Below are some random sketchbook pages. I'm so chaotic! It might just help to study one thing more in-depth next. Overall, there are some things in here that I'm fairly happy with.

**ajvenema** · August 31st, 2009, 02:19 PM

dude, i dont have such a big beard right now!
got to say you captured me, sam and lennard quite well there. not bad for a first day school

**Yngling** · September 1st, 2009, 12:29 PM

AJ: Ah well, a bit of artistic license

Two new pages. Been painting with gouache, very nice for colour sketches.

**Yngling** · September 1st, 2009, 04:55 PM

A quick little painting I did this evening. Oil over acrylic.

**Yngling** · September 7th, 2009, 03:54 PM

A pretty cheap update from me, but I'm very busy, and sadly not producing much art yet. Here's a few quick sketches while traveling. Pretty happy with the standing guy, especially the shoes.

**Yngling** · September 8th, 2009, 04:11 PM

More junk...

**Yngling** · September 13th, 2009, 11:21 AM

OK have some more then. Really random things from the last few days, including a WIP abstract-ish piece. It's much much harder than some would have us believe. Good fun though.

**Sublimus** · September 13th, 2009, 11:54 AM

Wow! Fucking cool figure painting!

**paran0id** · September 13th, 2009, 04:32 PM

The Oil over acrylic naked man from 1. September rocks! Like how its lit very much.

**Yngling** · September 18th, 2009, 04:24 PM

Thank you for the kind words. Funny how such a quick and small piece can work so well. Somehow I always had the idea that painting is something that has to take hours of work, but you can sketch with paint just as well!

Some quick mood/environment sketches done for school. I'm liking this way of sketching lately, it leaves much 'in the dark' about details. It allows for some chaos and randomness, and might yield something surprising you might not have thought of rationally. Thinking can be an obstacle, as I know too well.

Also included: a guy I built out of copper wire and little scraps. Also for school, but really fun to build too!

**Yngling** · September 19th, 2009, 05:02 AM

Something from a while back. I finally finished this piece. I've left out the name on the white board, as I don't feel comfortable showing it here. Not a very deep or exciting work, but it fits the purpose I guess. I've begun on the next piece, also a name plate of sorts. This time it's for a guy who has something with horses, having grown up on a farm. Again, really straightforward and simple, but it has to be, and it needs to be nothing more. This one's a little tricky because of the horses anatomy.

**Yngling** · September 29th, 2009, 01:45 PM

Back with some work. I finally finished the commission paintings, and luckily they were well received by the clients. I scrambled/blurred the names, for privacy reasons.
The rest of the post are all things I did in the last couple of days, including photographs of some figures I built out of scraps. A really fun project! Also some character sketches. I'd really like to do a little more ambitious personal piece, but school leaves me little time. Perhaps I need to find a compromise here.

**EKOes** · September 29th, 2009, 04:13 PM

ohhhh i love love your mechanical puppets, the mechanical shepard are great!!!, more please, very artistic and personal!

**jatherip** · October 5th, 2009, 08:55 AM

the horse in the last post is super awesome! man, you inspired me to use more media

keep rockin!

**Yngling** · October 8th, 2009, 02:29 PM

EKOes: They were very much fun to build! I've got some more coming, but I haven't photographed them yet.

Jatherip: Thanks man. Go for it!

Some sketches.

**purb36** · October 9th, 2009, 10:00 AM

wow.

that's all i can say.

i always enjoy coming here.

**Flaskpost** · October 9th, 2009, 10:34 AM

awesome stuff in here! love the sculptures!

**llex_paul** · October 9th, 2009, 10:41 AM

i don't know who but it's the first time here and i can say that you have a lot of great experiments and mixed techniques. this sketchbook is a very inspiring one. i really enjoyed to dig it

**Liam Harvey** · October 9th, 2009, 12:01 PM

loved the drawings and am very amazing at and craving more of the bits built people.

**Yngling** · October 9th, 2009, 02:46 PM

Purb36: Thanks for the support man!

Flaskpost, Ilex_paul, Gerbil Fetus: I appreciate the kind words! Stay tuned for a small update on the bit people somewhere this weekend...

And now, 2 quick sketches with quick PS colour overlays. Trying a little different approach.

**Yngling** · October 14th, 2009, 04:05 PM

I've taken this sketch into PS and fooled around a bit, see if I could render it. Most of the work I've done lately has been...sketchy, or at least loose. I'm having fun being meticulous and focused again. Obviously still WIP.
Oh and by the way, if all goes well, I'll be doing my first job as an illustrator soon! I have a meeting next Friday, to see what I can do. Exciting!

**Yngling** · October 22nd, 2009, 05:03 PM

Here's a little more stuff I made for the school assignment with the puppets. It's a villain (who's still missing tape on his legs) and a few covers, and a kind of poster design. It's a collage done in PS with many, many photos. Not my usual fare, but then again, what is?

**mariusz** · October 22nd, 2009, 05:18 PM

Nice painting in #250! Love the pupets as well. Do you make stop motion animation with them?

all the best,
Mariusz

**ajvenema** · October 22nd, 2009, 05:32 PM

i like that last one dude! good that you worked it out. looks like a lot of work

see you tomorrow! golden turn time
