Learning how to draw and paint

[Klaustrophil]

And some soldier and knight dudes.

[Klaustrophil]

And some stuff from imagination.

[Klaustrophil]

Here are 34 blocks of posemaniac studies, each 45 seconds.
I also tried the advanced mode this time...hard.

[Klaustrophil]

And of course, hand studies, hogarth studies.

[incognegro]

hi i really like how you,ve progressed, i wanna see more!. i think hogarth studies will help great with your knowledge of anatomy, it would be nice to see some more life drawing

[Klaustrophil]

@incognegro
thank you very much. Unfortunately it is very hard to find life drawing classes in my hometown. What I do is drawing random people in the bus or city. At least I try...


So two fresh studies - airplanes.

[Klaustrophil]

Train doodles - no ref.

[Klaustrophil]

Finally something more advanced.

[Klaustrophil]

hogarth studie
train doodles (pencil and finelineer)
painting of a dragon

[Klaustrophil]

1. digital doodling - neither pencil nor ref this time. There`s no denying that I feel weird doing doodles directly without pencils. But it safes time. 60 minutes.

2. Landscape study scottland. 45 minutes.

[Klaustrophil]

1. knight study. I used a ref: http://two-ladies-stocks.deviantart.com/
This is an awesome account.

2. Digital Painting Doodle. No ref.

[Klaustrophil]

Landscape Speedpainting. 90 Minutes. Hmmm, I desatured the clouds/background because I can`t make up my mind about the colours.
Anyway - I`ll continue working on this piece. So this is step 1.

[Klaustrophil]

step 2

and a quick portrait -

[Gannicus]

[Klaustrophil]

@Gannicus. thank you - but I`m far away from being good and my paintings are still very weak oO practice practice

1. portrait
2. still life
3. mechanical pencil fanart

[Klaustrophil]

The usual Hogarth and Bridgman studies and something new...me trying to design cars...

[Klaustrophil]

wip - some steps.

[Klaustrophil]

more details.

[Lightship69]

Looking better all the time buddy! but keep your eye on the perspective in some of the images like the cars and planes there are a few issues creeping in here and there.

all in all though you are improving all the time, keep it coming matey, all the best.

[Klaustrophil]

@Lightship 69
wow - thank you very much. And you made a good point about my perspective issues - but I`ll keep practising.
greetings
klaus


dragonpainting wip. so much fun.

[Mr. P Show.]

I see that in your sketches it seems you're pressing down pretty hard on the paper as well as a few you did on the tablet--and that you are drawing from the wrist. I find that it's always good to start off loosely with scribbles and then selecting the line you wish to refine. Also; sketching from the elbow allows you to focus on the scribbles and thus the whole picture.

Other than that; I see your improving a bit on the digital side. You have a strong-point (in my opinion) on composition--I like how you balanced the image out. Keep those sketches coming.

[Klaustrophil]

@Mr P Show
Thanks - you`re right and I`m using my elbow now. But my lines are still very hard though har har.

Happy mistake doodle painting practice

[Klaustrophil]

Another Creature WIP

[Klaustrophil]

brrrushstrokes

[Klaustrophil]

more brushstrokes and a totally screwed up nose. more studies to come.

[Klaustrophil]

two (in fact four) fresh designs

[Hayden Zammit]

Cool stuff. I really like the plane drawings. Always does my head in trying to figure out the perspective for things like that.

[Klaustrophil]

dragonthingy next step

[Klaustrophil]

@Hayden Zammit
thank you very much. Yeah, planes and the perspective are very tough. still fighting...

[Klaustrophil]

Another speedy
