**Trailblazer** · April 18th, 2011, 02:15 PM

That skin is soo smooth... really nice work man some very tasty looking ladies you got there

**patram** · April 18th, 2011, 02:25 PM

Very good studies you got there. I like particularly the still life. The light is awesome. How long did you work on it? Keep posting.

**Kvenh** · April 19th, 2011, 03:05 PM

Thanks for your kind words guys!

Patram: I'm not actually sure how long that took. I spent time on it on spurs during few days. I'm not too fond of the artificial lighting but had to do it with lamp since I couldn't find the time to complete it on one sitting. Perhaps closer to 10 hours.

Heres some poop sketches from imagination and few studies

**Kvenh** · April 20th, 2011, 04:28 PM

Few quick valuestudies and a sargent study.

**Kvenh** · April 21st, 2011, 04:17 PM

Crap from imagination, quick self portrait with some light added for kicks and a quick photostudy

**Kvenh** · April 23rd, 2011, 11:01 AM

Some studies I did today while listening to explosions in the sky new album.
Rocks! The crappy helicopter one is from imagination.

Also few poses from imagination from a while ago.

**Kvenh** · April 26th, 2011, 03:08 PM

Few quick studies and a wip I think I'm gonna try to render pretty accurately.

Been lazy x.x; Hopefully I can fix that this week

**Kvenh** · April 27th, 2011, 02:19 PM

study for today

**Satu** · April 27th, 2011, 02:48 PM

Great works! The still life is simply awesome and the photo studies look really good. Keep on posting!

**Kvenh** · April 28th, 2011, 03:41 PM

Satupeikko: thanks!

Tried to apply some of the things I hopefully picked up last night.
Not sure how well I did.

Also started to do some Brigsman studies, hoping to improve my knowledge of anatomy. Will probably scan them later

**SteFlack** · April 28th, 2011, 03:47 PM

Very nice studies, I'm looking forward to seeing more work from you, keep it up.

**forestdino** · April 28th, 2011, 04:28 PM

Wow, your shading an feel for color are inspiring, thanks for sharing

**ChromaticCodex** · April 28th, 2011, 04:57 PM

I think that still life may have given be an errection. I wish I had some constructive critis for you but... wow. Can't wait to see more. Especially more of your design work!

**in2eternity** · April 28th, 2011, 05:28 PM

Great enviros, really enjoy your use of colors! Keep it up)

**julianR** · April 28th, 2011, 06:10 PM

nice work. this cb is looking good

and your colors are awesome.
keep it up.

**Not_Deadman** · April 28th, 2011, 10:30 PM

Holy balls these studies are awesome! Would you be able to post a step by step as to how you approach studies? I especially like the lighting... do you block stuff in with guidelines and stuff, or do you just paint and do trial and error stuff until it looks right? Can't wait to see your bridgeman studies!
Im digging the start of this sketchbook, thanks for the inspiration man!

**Kvenh** · April 29th, 2011, 05:20 PM

ste: thanks alot!

forestdino, in2eternity, julianR: thanks! I wish my colors were as good without ref, never seem to get them right when I'm not doing studies.

ChromaticCodex: Too kind words

I really liked the still-life at the start but start feeling like I'm being too stiff towards the end. Hopefully I can get a bit more loose feeling next time.

Not_Deadman: Cheers! I'll try to grab some progress shots next time. I usually just start blocking in straight with color. Sometimes I use some linework but thats mainly when I'm doing poses and stuff.

Something for today:

quick valuestudy,
quick study from mjranum's stock,
some space-ship like shapes,
crappy train sketches. If they look even remotely good they're probably from life and not from imagination

**Kvenh** · April 30th, 2011, 08:19 AM

Saturday!

Wippy like stuff from imagination.

**Kvenh** · April 30th, 2011, 12:02 PM

Quick study and a small gif of the still-lifes progress shots

**Kvenh** · May 1st, 2011, 04:44 PM

ugh, didn't manage to do much today, was out all day.

Anyways, some quick thumbnails and a valuestudy.
Also crap wip from imagination, a lot to fix on this one ie. the anatomy, colors and the perspective.

Any crits are always welcome!

**Kvenh** · May 2nd, 2011, 06:26 AM

Quick selfportrait

**Kvenh** · May 2nd, 2011, 11:04 AM

Quick enviroment.
Should've probably add some stronger light

Any crits would be appreciated!

**Kvenh** · May 2nd, 2011, 01:16 PM

few more for today.
Some random b&w scribble and some anatomystuff,

cheers.

**Kvenh** · May 3rd, 2011, 03:59 PM

Just few quick thumbnails :/ Didn't have much time today.

Tried to just use three values this time. My composition is so much crap

**Kvenh** · May 4th, 2011, 12:50 PM

Photostudy for today. Could've gone for hours but figured I should stop at this point already.

also did some trainsketching and stuff, gotta scan those later.

**Kvenh** · May 4th, 2011, 04:04 PM

Just another quick one before bed
