Scribble, Scribble! - Mathieu Levert Sketchbook

[Matt Levert]

Hello my name is Mathieu Levert, concept artist at Behaviour Interactive in montreal. I paint personal stuff from time to time and I post it here. Enjoy!

[Demo_Thesis]

Fancy pants! I need to pull out Alchemy again for some inspiration. I haven't used it in a long time. Love the enviros, good luck on your projects!

[HAJiME]

Wow beautiful paintings, so many tiny details constructed of delicate mark making.

Keep it up, post some more. Would love to see how you approach observational studies.

Hi there,

Wow, what a gorgeous set of work. Can't wait to see more!
Or even to see some of those Alchemy monsters with more work done on them (esp. 1, 3 and 5 in bottom row)
Very exciting,
Warmest wishes,

Ana

Didnt have time to reply to all the nice comments you guys left when I posted the last 2 sketches, was still at school and I was leaving and thought Id just say thank you when i arrive back home, so there you go, thank you! . Will keep posting more stuff as like I said in previous update, im drawing alot lately.

I have some life drawing and other traditional stuff done for school assignements, but I dont have a scanner or camera to bring em over the computer.

[Matt Levert]

Worked a bit more today on this sketch here




Progression shots on the alien I posted couple days ago. Also fixed the volumetric fog that was on his arm and leg...minor, gonna do real update once im done tweaking a bit the sketches I have done for now.

[nixa]

Nice environments and characters! Too bad you can't show your traditional work, but anyway keep posting what you have

[Matt Levert]

ok, im done with those now, moving on to new stuff for next update some other day.

[Matt Levert]

a 1.5hr~ WIP today, wont have time for a couple days til i can work on this again

[Mila]

'Dude, awesome sense of colour in all your environments. There seems to be a certain mood in all of them that ties them all together. Keep it up :] I'll keep my eye on this sketchbook, because I already love it!

[Jason Scanlon]

Cool! i have nothing else to say this is just a quick way to subscribe to your thread

[Matt Levert]

@Mila thanks alot yes you are right about what you are saying, it is probably because of the fact that I like staying close to desaturated colors and more earthy tones, sometimes I do use vibrant colors...but not very often hehe

@Jason Scanlon haha! awesome, thanks for dropping by

[colortheory]

ok, im done with those now, moving on to new stuff for next update some other day.

I would love to live there.

[Swifty McMuffin]

tentacle man cool

[Matt Levert]

@ colortheory hehe, I am guessing you are refering to the kind of industrial steampunkish sky city? I would really like to live there too haha!

@ Andre1991 thanks, was inspired by Predator obviously, world of warcraft draenei race and Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean...if I ever have time to work it a bit more...ill have to do something about the arms lol, they are nothing but a shape

[Matt Levert]

worked some more on the last painting I posted. Still very sketchy...but also lots of progress since last time you can see some architecture photos in there, they will eventually disappear when I paint some more...still waiting on the money to buy a new computer, can only work from school right now...this week for sure I get it...unless im super unlucky

[witek]

i like your style
alchemy sketches were great
keep it up

[Mincx]

I love those big guys on the most recent update, they add so much character to the environment.

[Stuart DeViva]

I think those might be the most epic thumbnails ever.

[Mila]

The characters in your new piece remind me of Chaos warriors. Fricking awesome! :]

[Matt Levert]

@ witek Thanks man, alchemy is just great for silhouettes, love it

@ Mincx thanks now gotta work on the hard part which is the architecture carved into those pillar mountains or wtv they are hehe

@ UmpaArt haha, thank you

@ Mila yeah, those characters are just so generic lol, its the typical big bad guys with huge shoulder pads full of spikes haha

[Matt Levert]

finally got my new computer! im so happy

been doing some photoshop, heres a WIP. Doing this for a contest at school in which we have do show a character and his companion. I also have another idea for this. I want to make a winter scene, where the character is walking with his polar bear companion. Never done any winter scene, so its gonna be fun
off to classes now!

[Matt Levert]

well im done with this one, gonna work some more on the previous one I posted now

[ArcZephyer]

The environment compositions are beautiful, I like the use of texture you've got going on. I also really like your silhouette figures, they're so cool. I always wonder how people make those.
