If the answer is infinite light, why do we sleep in the dark?

I really like your designs, but I think you would probably benefit if you take some time to do some more studies either from life, refs or both.

[Hai]

purplerose: Yup, definitely.

PJ:

you don't seem to take what you do from one to the other and that is a shame cause i certainly do not hope that you feel like you are relearning it with every drawing. it should feel like a progression.

I thought I had responded to this, but I guess i forgot. Anyway, I do feel i take stuff from one drawing to the next, but I'm not really that consious about it. I can remember a few concrete examples when I've drawn something and remembered a previous drawing and copied it (not copied copied but... you know)

[Hai]

whooo

[Hai]

I redid the whole thing... Ugh, I'm having trouble getting a good transition between the middleground and the background...

[comixnut]

I HATE transitions! LOL

I love the apples and the violin spotlight scene, they are both really well done!

[Hai]

PJ: Thanks, both the violin spotlight scene and the apples were really fun

Edit: Yup, I know that crate is out of perspective, thanks.

[voraz]

Nice apple studies up there.
is this last one a WIP?

[Hai]

voraz: I was thinking about it as a wip, but there were so many errors both in the painting and the layers, that I abandoned it.... (Don't hit me!)

dragon update: I'll take some pics of the finished sculpture on monday...

The pose of the lady with the dress is not very exciting to my eye, but i like the folds on the dress. They give it body and make it look real. I also like the scene with the house and the graveyard. Keep it up man!

[Hai]

Wow... have been away from here for way too long. But, this is shaping up to be a very productive summer. My parents are going away for four weeks, and I'm left here to do what I want. Hopefully that means lots and lots of updates.

WIP:

[Hai]

No parents = workshop.

Left = Kristoffer: scrubs
Right (trying to be emo ) = Anders: Andeshh

[Hai]

Update on the WIP:

MultiBlah!

[Hai]

I have a feeling I need to up my contrast a bit...

[Hai]

The pose was reffed<-- **warning, nudity**. And the costume is obviously heavily Marko-inspired.
1. I didn't try to hide the feet! They just didn't fit/bad planning.
2. She's getting an eye and an eyebrow too, I just wanted to show it before I messed it up.

Tried to finish it more this time. Less sketch, More proper drawing.

[Hai]

Meeeh...

[Hai]

And some more, actually...

[voraz]

HI, I like that piece in post #225...
Those pencil drawings could improve varying the line weigth and not pressing the pencil so much, kind of like the one you did with the ref, that one looks much better than the others, thats the way to go.
cheers

Elloh there guvnuh

Female forms seems to be getting really solid. Look a liiitle stiff and regulated though at times, try to cut loose with some flowy, curvy lines (at least for initial workup) as it could help make the final figure look a little more lady-like.

Keep 'er up

[Hai]

voraz: Yup, I'm gonna do more of those like the reffed one.
Rhineville: Will do (I hope)

With hover-boots this time.

[Hai]

Just a quick speedpaint/test in opencanvas, as I have bought the program now. Well, I didn't buy it, I got it in advance for my birthday. Gotta get comfortable with all the controls and such now.

[eazym]

nice character designs, looks like you;re putting a lot of thought into them

[Hai]

eazym: Thanks. I definitely try to.

Moleskine smells funny

(also, I turned 18 the 13th of August, yay)

edit: holy crap, my scanner scans so much better to my stationary than to my laptop. And my laptops screen colours are screwed!

[Hai]

Man, I gotta work harder. So out of practice from all my lazing about.
