Wannabe artist seeking improvement!

[BjorkT]

Hey everyone! My name is Bjørk Tróndheim and I am a young 17 year old residing in the lovely land of the Faroe Islands... a very mysterious place ;)

I want to see some more progress my drawings and would love to get some advice, critique and/or feedback from you all!
Thanks! : )

[BjorkT]

Here are two paintings I made on photoshop
I'll post some new sketches later!

[BjorkT]

The site hasn't been working very well for me for the past week so I haven't been able to upload anything new :( But anyway here are a few of the sketches I've been making. These are mostly from last week. I don't have any scanner or camera so I just had to use my Ipod, hence the bad quality

[BjorkT]

Haven't had that much time to draw this week because of school, but I have a few things that I am working on But I still need a scanner.. remind me to buy one or something




Please tell me what you think

[BjorkT]

just another low-quality sketch hehe

[BjorkT]

Playing around a bit in photoshop :Þ

[BjorkT]

Whoops, been neglecting this website a bit.
Anyway, here are two drawings/sketches I made recently(still LQ). I've doing a lot of studies of heads this week, but I am a bit too lazy at the moment to take a LQ photo with my Ipod Still need to get a scanner... hm :I
I'm using tutorials from Thegnomonworkshop.com and then I'm reading Andrew Loomis' book on drawing heads and hands and a few other resources

This is good stuff! The combination of brushwork and lines in that last digital image is especially nice. Subtle, and adds detail only when it's needed. Your heads are also very structurally solid; they don't look two-dimensional or have any "floaty" features. Keep posting; I'll check back!

[BjorkT]

Thank you very much! ^^ lovely to finally get some feedback haha

[BjorkT]

Quick face study/warm up, spent about an hour on it. The image is a bit distorted since I took it with my webcam and then I tried to reduce the noise in photoshop oh well hehe

[BjorkT]

uploading a new/old sketch hehe will add more later

[BjorkT]

Been a very busy day today I went to this event called gamejam, where we went into groups and had to create I mini game in just 9 hours XD It was quite stressful, but I learned a lot
They're trying to get a start in the gaming industry here in the Faroes since we literally have nothing, so hopefully there will be something in the near future.

Anyway here is something I made while there
I only made one sketch digitally, so I'll upload the rest later!
I spent about 20-30 mins on it, not worrying too much about anatomy
The theme was "Huldufólk" which means the hidden people. If you want to know more you can check the wiki page here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulduf%C3%B3lk hehe

[BjorkT]

Here are some more sketches I spent about 10-20 mins on each

[BjorkT]

Sorry for the bad quality I tried to fix it to the best of my ability

[BjorkT]

I've had so little time to draw this week, it's killing me haha xD way too much homework. Anyway here is a kind of messy page of my sketchbook that I'm working on. I'm trying to study the body and the muscles etc. seeing how it works and so on, and also trying out some random organic form sadly it kind of failed but you learn from your mistakes!

Tell me what you think !

[BjorkT]

whoops forgot the link to the reference I used! here it is. http://24.media.tumblr.com/292fd8be7...x28o1_1280.jpg

[BjorkT]

Critique and/or feedback is highly appreciated!

[BjorkT]

Finished'ish ~ there are lots of mistakes and I have noted some down but please do tell me what I can do better!

[BjorkT]

Studying hands here are some of my sketches

[BjorkT]

A few of my sketches from this week

[BjorkT]

more hand studies

[BjorkT]

Okay, so brace yourselves as I will now post my first digital landscape speed painting.
Yikes, I really need to practice more haha XD
I don't draw or paint landscapes or environments very often at all, but I really should do it more
And I should learn how to use colour.. yup, got a looooong way to go

[BjorkT]

And another quick speed painting before I go to work 20-30 mins
Gonna work on it a bit more when I get home

[BjorkT]

Last update before I go to bed
I very quick landscape painting just for practice
and then a sketch that I am working on I'm going to redraw it on bigger paper I think

[BjorkT]

30 mins on each. many mistakes, but it helps me understand certain things
I'm trying to challenge myself with a time limit Probably gonna do something more serious soon though

[BjorkT]

Couldnt sleep last night, so I went ahead and did a few figure studies at 3 am

[BjorkT]

and here is a portrait I am working on at the moment. His eyes are a bit off, but I'll fix that I'll upload the finished piece tomorrow

[BjorkT]

Okay, I lied. I am not finished yet, but here is an update

[BjorkT]

Somewhat finished. Not too sure what I think of the outcome Could have been better.

Wow! You are good my friend! I hope to see more in the near future
