Jokisalo: thx a lot. I like your art a lot btw.
dadamafia: thanks
BAKI: you are right. I have to do more original work. I'm pretty slow with that. But new work is on the way. Thanks for the comment.

Some crap (where did the good days go?):
15 minutes study. Why didn't anyone tell me how fun it is to draw fat people?


and mood/color studies:

First try:

Second try:


Sorry for crappy update. Worked a lot with oils and pencils and without a scanner, well...

[Zaknafain]

My ftp programm killed the first picture. Damn it!
Here's another study (5minutes) figuring out how to do cityscapes in painter in a small amount of time.

[krakel]

As I said.. like those colorstudies.. although the second and third one are kind of a mistery to me.. That cityscape experiment is interesting too i think you should have some value difference in the tiny gaps between the windows though.. In my opinion they seem too solid.. tooo.. black.. I dunno. keeps it up!

pace

[GunTrouver]

Looks good, hot nudes
The colours r good, very nice studies.
Keep it up!

[untitleduser]

amazing art. Keep it up.

[Azrael]

nice color studies. they remind me of what I lack and need to focus on.

[Calle_]

way, looks great. tho i think u should update more.. dont u have a sketchbook or something? argh. =)
one of my favs. so keep it up

[Zaknafain]

Krakel: yes... you are right, the values are wrong. it was basically trying out new techniques. And this ones so fast, I forgot about that.
GunTrouver: More nudes to come
untitled user: thx
Azrael: Thanks. Colors are really important. Can't practice them enough.
Calle: I actually have a non digital sketchbook but no scanner sadly. Thanks a lot, you don't know how motivating it is reading your comment.

Crappy update:

Contact him to sell your soul for skill to the devil.

Edit: forgott to tell how long it took me... 40 minutes.
Btw. If you like jazz, have a look at "Absynthe Minded". They are really inspiring.

[krakel]

interesting..i like the face itself but id suggest getting rid of that line around his hair. also make those shadows a little harder if you know waht i mean

[blog]

Wow Zaknafain thanks for replying in my sketchbook! Those colour studies are awesome man! And I definately love the latest updated.

*subscribes*

[Zaknafain]

Thx for the replys. You keep me motivated.

Oh well... Today is the worst day for a month.
School keeps eating my soul.

Some Crap:


The last one is a mood study. I'm currently fascinated by the urban "alone in the streets at night" mood. It's a strange feeling because it's neither negative nor positive but can still be really intense.
Well I will need to work even more on creating this feeling.

[Zaknafain]

I don't like my paintingstyle these days.
40 mins:

Color study (felt like doing warm stuff again):

[Zaknafain]

Working on dynamic compositions and on more "greenish" palettes. I still don't know what to do with real green palettes.
Weekend is coming. Hopefully I will increase the quality of this sketchbook the next days.

[krakel]

really like that street piece- the chick looks anorexic tho..

[Calle_]

nice updates man. you use painter? dunno how u get those great glass-like strokes i just love watching the color stuff =) to bad u dont have a scanner. would really like to see that stuff. keep updating man. im watching

[mermuse]

cool. Love the abstract color studies!

[MattGamer]

I like the mood studies and your paintings... some of the mood pictures give certian feelings. I really like the urban one with the light reflecting in the water. It's almost like a street light but moving and it reminds me of good times in big cities.

[Orozc0]

very nice color studies. I like the figures and details on the crotch regions...indeed. keep up the good work!!

peace

[Ferg]

I really like all this. I can't say for sure because I don't know you, heh, but you appear to be very good at producing specific feelings with your work. That's a very good thing. Being good at drawing is one thing, but knowingly evoking emotions in your audience is the sign of a master.

[deadred]

i really like this one! very stark and perfect mood
cool color and mood studies too
your female drawings need a tiny bit more flesh on the buttcheeks.. currently they look to me like they have too much flesh on the pelvic bulge (not enough shadows there, i think?) anyways, keep posting, you got good stuff here

[ThomasK]

Cool sketchbook! Post more of your work !
I especially like your color studies, really nice

[Zaknafain]

I'm late again...

well thank you for you replys. 3 days ago I had my final highschool exams and now its time to spend 8h a day drawing and to stop beeing lazy. AND I have access to a scanner now
Heres some of my newer crap (protect your eyes!):
Livedrawing

Photo

Imagination


test with new custom brushes

Some older abstract shit (2 months ago)



Oil on Canvaspaper:


and my new 3.0 Avatar:


dreaded: thx. You are right with your crit. Its because I lack lifedrawing.
Ferg: Thanks. Thats exactly what I think.
MattGamer: good times in big cities. ahhh.
Orozc0, ThomasK, krakel: thx
Calle_: Yup its painter. What do you mean with the glasslike strokes?
mermuse: thanks for your reply. I'm honored by your post.

[krakel]

im enjoying the oil one.. how big is that in real life? The lifedrawing is pretty nice too- how much time did that take you?- post more, seems like youre producing alot lately

-krakel

[artkitty]

The abstract color studies are really nifty-
it'd be nice to see one developed into a full illustration.
Keep up the life drawing and do some more technical anatomy studies- your photo ref figures lack structure and confidence.

[Mr.Blonde]

Hey... Nice to see some more abstract artists here at CA. I really enjoy your color thumbs... I'd like to see them expanded into full pieces... but it would be really hard to keep the spontanaety and the simplistic quality you have on a larger scale... I suggest that you try it though, some of that stuff could go for good money at galleries if you marketed yourself well...

[MattGamer]

ooo an update!! yes, hehe big cities rule. haha
real nice update! that test with the custom brushes is beautiful... sortof reminds me of one of the alien movies. real nice and smooth sketches as well.
keep up the updating! i want to see more of your work!

[Zaknafain]

krakel: Thanks. It's pretty small. A5. The lifedrawing took me 4 minutes. I have more of them I will scan them soon.

artkitty: thanks a lot for your crit. I like your sketchbook a lot and because of this I got inspired and started with some more "technical" studies. The first one is below.

Mr.Blonde: I hope that someday I will be able to finish abstracts the way you do it. Thanks for your comment.

Matt: You are right. It is alien inspired.


Now some more art:
I did some hogarth studies (loomis is next). Heres the first one:

funny lines:

experiment with underpainting:

[ArcoNL]

Love the 'funny lines' drawing.......inspiring.....

Cheers,
Arco

[OleOlsen]

[krakel]
