Sketchbook Thread of bumskee

[Rebeccak]

bumskee,

What a coup! As you know, I am a big admirer of your artwork.

One thing I notice with respect to your figures is the ethereal elongation which you lend them. In some cases I think it works, and in other cases, for my personal taste, it goes just slightly too far for the figures to be totally believable. Having said that, your gestural experimentation is in some cases sublime, and I would love to see your further explorations of the sense of brushwork in your figures.

As well, you know I'd always be happy to see a Tutorial from you. :D

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Great! Now get out in the rain and draw some horses!:twisted:


Animals! ROAR!


Mmmyep. You know what I mean.

[erilaz]

Oh, and this one (http://www.minart.net/temp/meow_32.jpg) is magically delicious. The colours are stunning.:)

[Cyanid]

hehe wicked stuff man :applause: those hats!
this will be delicious!

cya

[razz]

You are a beast!

I love the silhouettes, amazing.

[trainee]

You call them "scribbles"? You should see my scribbles :banghead:
Nice work!

How much time did you spend on each of them?
And how long have you been drawing?

Cheers
Julian

[bumskee]

Rebeccak, THanks!! yeah I do tend to stretch things out a little too far.. i think that's what u meant right? well still studying heaps and trying to get my figures right.. of course more dynamic poses.. body types...... bleh.. tooo much to study up. heh cheers, Min

erilaz, haha martin!! i bet you are doing ur 100 like crazy now. hehe cheers man

Cyanid, thanks!

razz, thanks mate

trainee, heh, well they are pretty sketchy..
about 1 hrish.. but some took longer like the last two.. a little more worked up I guess.
been drawing for sometime now.. cheers,

me, martine and knoxie decided to do 100 gestures.. yeah it was alright, I had a head start.. martin is still doing it now..hehe knoxie went to bed.. ha!
but yeah..here's my 100.. took between 2~10 mins.. depending on poses.. some were harder and some were easy.. No refs just wanted to play around I guess. Tried some dynamic poses too, mixed up some male ones.. I usually do females.. heh.

saved at around 60% of the size I drew them in PS..

ooop sorry for the image size, cheers, Min

[razz]

Wooah, that's the stuff I should do myself! A great practise. Lots and lots of gestures. Amazing poses, Bumskee. Inspired me a lot with these.

Glad to see you back with this new work. Would love to see more from you.

[bumskee]

razz, there's gesture thunderdome happening in conceptart.org in thunderdome section if you want to jump in for weekly gestures. anyone that doesn't complete the task gets ugly avatar.. haha. cheers mate.

Small..update, I kinda feel like I been a moo moo land.. maybe it's coz I just woke up. haha.. ok.. some gestures.... well this was a little different..

http://www.minart.net/temp/gesture3_1.jpg

http://www.minart.net/temp/gesture3_2.jpg

I realised I wasn't pushing it enough.... this body type really had be bogged down... kinda annoyed at not being able to freely draw them, I decided to do some hogarth studies... still treating them as gestures, stick figures or whatever you want to call it... keeping it pretty simple..

http://www.minart.net/temp/gesture3_3.jpg

http://www.minart.net/temp/gesture3_4.jpg

[bumskee]

(too many images for one post?? bah...)

It's time to put them to use.. or I guess i was little bored with these studies... some character quickies... didn't feel like fantasy stuff.. more chicks!!

Hi, your stuff is really great. Those gesture srawings of your are amazing, I hope you don't mind but I am using them as guide to make some practice sketches, trying not to copy exactelly though...
thanks for sharing.
cheers

[bumskee]

rblitz7, cheers

abyss103, thanks, there's gesture TD in ca.. we had 100 p/w, 200 last week...probably like 50 this week tho.. you should check it out. cheers

[Rebeccak]

Hey Mintastic,

I have to say that I really like the delicacy with which you infuse your sketches, I think your style is distinct and I think that as you get more expressive with your linework you'll be a draughting force with which to be reckoned. ;)

I give you these lovely asspats to drive you from your natural state of emo ;) - keep up the good work, emo boy! :)

[bumskee]

Hey Nuna! hahah thanks for the kind words.. you are tops! hope you are doing well.
oh and I am not that emo :P I am more "sensitive" haha *oh god*

[batte812]

Great stuff happening here! Those gesture drawings are developping well: amazing how you can naild own all these details. The fasion models look great to. Keep going!

[Rebeccak]

Ello, luv,

Good to see your new scribbles. :) Hope you are enjoying your new job and kicking some concept art bunnage. You should post your Blizzard Contest step by steps here too. :)

[razz]

I'd love to see you update your thread more often, Bumskee. The stuff you post is of great pleasure to my eyes and flows with inspiration! It is amazing! Makes me strive even more to learn and hopefully someday do stuff from imagination with the quality I see here. And considering these are only scribbles, as you say, makes it even more astonishing.

[bumskee]

batte812, thanks! reminds me that I need to do more anatomy studies.. gee it can be quite a chore I think. cheers

NUNA! hey, how's things? i forgot to ask about your xmas plans.. hope you got it all worked out and stuff. hehe, thanks for the nice words as always! I have been in an art slump recently I think whined about it to u before.. but yeah I think it's kinda over tho, feeling great about scribbling.. doesn't always mean I will do decent work tho. haha. Hope that exhibition is going sweet too! catch u soon. cheers, Min

razz, thanks for the kind words, I am glad it's not too boring. hahah. yeah I have holidays coming up so..I will be wacking in more more & more I hope.. :D

Some stuff I did yesterday, decided to value some out.. *bleh*

http://www.minart.net/temp/m_4a.jpg

http://www.minart.net/temp/m_5a.jpg

http://www.minart.net/temp/m_6a.jpg

WOOP! cheers, Min

[bumskee]

As per Nuna's suggestion. Blizzard contest steps.. I keep forgetting to do the steps for the other piece too.. maybe later.
(I hate how I have to post several posts... :( how many images can I post at once anyways?? :S)

OOOp, here's my step for "sanctuary" *shrugs*

I started off with a rough sketch.. I guess we all do.. I thought I drew a better drawing but guess not.. and then laid a colour behind it. mmmm I planned on sticking the figure on the tree branch, but wasn't sure where so I decided to leave it to further down the track.. *shrugs*

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_1.jpg

then I spent sometime blocking it out.. working big fast and fat! kinda funny in a way, despite my huge weird brush sets, I mainly just used this blocky slanted rectangle brush and the oval shaped one..

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_2.jpg

well I tend to make things too dark.. so I put an overlay layer on top and made it a little lighter and also to add some contrast.. dropped some more branches in the back too

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_3.jpg

mindless rendering begins.. I started with the main tree naturally.. I went through some trees in the forest and picked up some interesting ideas.. so vines and weird plants came fromt here..

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_4.jpg

I realised it needed something, and after some crit sessions with some people, waterfall was suggested.. I thought that or a face in the tree but went with waterfall..

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_5.jpg

more rendering process.. slow and boring..

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_6.jpg

the trees in the background needs tiding up, ignore the red line that was my idea on where I was going to crop the image.. more refininf..

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_7.jpg

TIME TO throw the elf in. I was going to put her on the tree initally so I didn't sketch her up.. so I dropped her in and added some swooshing lights blobs around her.. just a bit, I had thought heaps more but this worked better. I did experiment with some other poses and figures, three I belive but she looked best like that.. wasn't too keen on going through anymore so..

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_8.jpg

[bumskee]

Added some highlights here and there, the swirly thing in her hand and some detailing work.

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_9.jpg

cropped and refining continues.. I can finally see the end!!

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_10.jpg

added the lighting, more refining here and there.. realised the swirly needed more... and also to add more attention to the tiny figure, surrounded her with swirlies.

http://www.minart.net/temp/forest_steps_11.jpg

with some colour editing, suggested by idiot apathy himself, the image was tweaked with adjustment layers. and It was too black, so lightened it up a bit too. all done!! yay (noticed my steps have been cropped slightly due to my uber screen grab skills)

http://minart.net/datas/works/minyum_sanctuary_s.jpg

OOOP some details, almost 100%

[Rebeccak]

Pooky!

Thanks for posting these, they're amazing. :) I think your grayscale sketches are outstanding, even if, in your emo state, you 'can't' see that. ;)

Thanks for posting the Blizzard step by steps - they're just mind boggling! Where do I sign up for these emo skills of yours? ;)

[NR43]

Hey bumskee (wth nobody??? yeah right ;)


I was hugely impressed with those gesture sheets in your thread. Now there is no way I could do that from imagination so if it's ok with you I'll try some of your stuff...

You're an amazingly talented artist. I hope to get to your level at one point. (I'm a few years behind :p )

[bumskee]

nuna. heheh emo skills unfortunately can't be taught.. it's a skill you are born with? (o_0)

NR43, you are too NICE! thanks!

Great stuff here for sure.

I really like your forrest painting and the black night. I would love to see that forrest one rendered further, your sense of lighting and colour are great on that piece.

[Rebeccak]

Pooky biscuits!

Fantastic update...just love the fast black and whites. When do we get to see a finished piece from you? ^-^

*hugs*

Nuna

[kary]

Wow. Those B&Ws and the forest tunnel are great, as are the line art characters. Fun thread to watch :)

[razz]

Daaamn :drool: I mean...yeah..wow! I'm astonished how much you can do in so little time. This thread is one of the most inspirational to me :bounce:

[rasmusW]

hey min!

-beautyful work as always. i love how much life you get in those farely few and simple lines.

-r

[bao]

I was so happy to see a sketch thread from you, ever since I saw your sketches in the DSF.
I especially love the more stylized sketches. The guy with the top hat is too cool.

[whiteweazel]

Holy crap dude...I'm speechless. You're work is so inspirational. Such elegant, simple, and refined line and use of pattern--you have such a appealing presentation of visuals. *depressed*

Damn I need to study a lot more. I know the ultimate key to learning to draw is practice, but in addition do you have say 3 favorite books to study from? Also, when you were learning, what did you use for reference to draw from? I know I should be drawing a lot from a live model but its rather difficult finding a studio that offers open figure drawing.

Thanks :)

[Salubri3i]

somebody get me to a respirator! :D

great stuff man.

[vincent1]

Very good textural work. Like the look you get in your speed paints. :thumbsup:

[Zephyri]

somebody get me to a respirator! :D

Ahahah.. ditto. Holy moly, this is some seriously good work. I love all of it. Your black and white work, even down to the simple girl sketches have a lovely touch of the gothic about them, but I was very drawn to the blonde in the red coat in the forest with her dog... the colours on that are amazing, especially that little touch of green in her hair. Masterful stuff. And hugely inspiring!

[bumskee]

TwitchyHamster, thanks! glad you like the stuff

Nuna!! hehe, yeah you know in fact I am working on something big..actually... hmm wonder if I will finish it tho

kary, thanks!

razz, cheers mate

abyss103, hey, thanks for the kind words! heh

bao, thanks, yeah trying to participate in dsg more.. but i get distracted too easily heh

whiteweazel, thanks! well I don't do much anatomy as I used to.. but I learnt off loomis, hogarth and bridgman books mostly, but more photos in recent times.. also fashion stuffs.. and as for most of the character stuffs they are not reffed..

Salubri3i, thanks!

vincent1, heh cheers

thanks so much! Zephyri, check out conceptart.org for more better stuffs tho. hehe

ok..been a while so I am going to just cump everything.. hope it's ok!

I hope some day I can get to your level!

You will be a great source of inspiration for me! From now on I will try to replicate your work starting with the posing posts.. wish me luck! =)

By the way from my point of view you are using markers!? If so what types and brands?


Thx for being who you are! :P

[BruceAzevedo]

Sweet thread, man! I got to try to do that many thumbnail sketchs.

Definitely paid off for U!!! U got a really cool style.

Congrats.

[vincent1]

Super character designs. Really enjoyed them. :thumbsup: How long per piece roughly?

[rasmusW]

hey min!

i really enjoy watching these sketches. actually, i've added a few of them to my inspiration folder.
the "young hot soceress with werid feet", would be fun doing in 3d.


-r

[bumskee]

Razz, thanks mate!

Noredin, heh cheers. markers? no they are all done in photoshop, everything actually, don't think I posted any trad stuff here.

ShinobiXXX, thanks! yeah studies do pay off I think, not always so evident but I suppose that's the best way to pick some stuff up. cheers

vincent1, thanks! around 40 mins ~ 1 hr.. but some maybe have taken a little longer..the ones with legs generally coz I suck at drawing legs..

abyss103, thanks! I have 0 knowledge in 3d.. hahah I would so get confused and wither away. hehe cheers

SMALL ish update, been so busy with everything.. Also sketching during lunch breaks and stuff but I will post those when I get a chance to scan some drawings.. for the moment..err...

[bumskee]

there's a parking building in front of my work place.. I always stare at it during cig break.. it has this awsome feel to it.. So I sketched some when I got back home, from memory and obivously I missed lots of details, going to have another crack at them soon!

[rasmusW]

hey min!

-that parking building pict, is really well done. considering it's a real building drawns from memory. it looks like you just took the values from a real pict and then painted ontop of it.
truely beautyful costumes on those ladies.

keep em coming.

-r

[vincent1]

Lovely character drawings. Kind of remind me of "Creepy" and "Vampirella" comics I used to oogle at decades ago.


Great stuff!

[anandpg]

OMG, Bumskee!! you've got some awesome stuff in here!!! :bounce:so delightful to see your work!

[NR43]

is there anything you can't draw or paint? :p
for some reason this reminds me of Half Life 2 haha

[bumskee]

abyss103, thanks mate! yeah drawing from memeory kinda sucks coz sometimes you know something was there but can't remember it and often what you make up isn't quite true too.. yeah thanks!

vincent1, thanks! don't know those comics tho, heh

anandpg, thanks! :)

NR43, hahah there's plenty of things I can't draw, I actually can't draw much from what oyu see here. and HALF LIFE! woah that's a huge compliment, hehe thanks.

here's some snapping of my sketchbook.. I don't draw much except in cafes and just people nearby.. it's kinda relaxing for me so I just draw without thinking too much. Please excuse crappy quality, no scanner so.. yeah..

Not in any particular order I think... some of the better pages... two pages are with left hand.

Bumskee, love your work. Always a pleasure. It's so inspiring how much you draw.
Keep it up and keep on posting cos it helps my motivation, and im sure plenty of others too.

I can feel the half life 2 thing, maybe cos you have that female figure with birds lingering, like a dream, just far enough away that you cant make out any details.

And that last one under the tree - its on my desktop. We're on the same wavelength today I feel. I pulled a muscle in my back at the gym yesterday and its a bit sore sitting infront of the comp today - that picture is exactly how I feel, and what i wish i could be doing right now!

[anandpg]

You may be tired of hearing this, but I cant help it: your painting rocks big time!:buttrock: I think you are right up there with the best of digital painters around!!:applause: thanks for the inspiration. btw... it would be nice to see some of your character drawings painted.

[Eiki]

Incredible! I really love your work, especially those short sketches! :thumbsup::)
And you are doing so much of them GREAT! (i feel ashamed:blush:)

Particularly he sketch with the many arms/hands is just: WOW! :)
Want to see more! :thumbsup::D

[Intervain]

awesome sketches! :bounce: Love the last image with the character under the tree!

[bumskee]

Cavematty, :) I actually am going to do a small comic strip on that.. hehe put some more story behind it. thanks for the kind words! and hope you are feeling better mate!

anandpg, thanks! yeah I gotta work on colouring my characters, I can get away with b&w much easier.. tho colours are a little struggle. cheers,

BapKe, thanks mate!!

Intervain, glad you like it! cheers

Been a while I think.. was away for David Kassan's workshop. Which was so inpspiring for me.. feel like a new man!! :) not to mention a the brief meeting with James Jean at the semi conference in Sydney. he's so awsome and i admire his work ethics and dedication..

ok.. ermm

One of the things that really hit me was painting from life.. at the workshop.. I think it's definitely something I need to do more.. Funny I have a tablet laptop and never quite used it.. much.. so I decided to jump at it. Painted from life on my balcony at various times today... not long probably around 1~1.5hrs each. last one is my crappy stock mobile phone..

that colourful tree is so cool! Love the queen too! great stuff!

[batte812]

Great sketchbook, man! Wonderful enviros and some great figures as well! Keep going!

[rasmusW]

hey min!

just thought i'd pop by and say -"man, i love watching those pencil sketches"... -so many great ideas coming to me when looking at them.

-r

[Cavematty]

Hey again. Yeah you were a bit slim on the updates.
Love the waterfall city. Its beautiful. It doesnt look like colour is a battle to you, so it must be a battle you win :)
You're right. The black queens face is a bit man-ish. But I love your balcony studies. Especially the night time one. You captured the light especially well in that one. Nice work.

Kassan is great. I discovered his work on CA. Must've been good to have a workshop with a great painter like that. And do you do any traditional stuff? (other than the watercolor pencils ;) ) I never noticed before that you were from Aussie. Shot mate. Its good to see talent represented from this corner of the world :) REPRESENT :)

BTW my back feels better now, but the guy under the tree is still on my desktop, and pics dont usually hang around on there too long! I find its mood more uplifting now than when I first saw it.

Keep posting, we're loving it :) woop!

[bumskee]

Intervain, thanks!

batte812, will do thanks!

abyss103, thanks so much for the mega compliment dude!

Cavematty, hey! :D yeah I try to update as much as I can.. not enough time to do my own thing I guess.. yeah I am at brisbane at the moment, working at krome studios.. you?

As for traditional stuff no, I don't do much.. I try to do as much pencil as possible whenever I am out.. even then I am so geared towards digital actually. :) thanks for dropping by!

small update.. bleh..

SMALL update.. feeling a little tired these days.. I think it's work work dragging at me.. or I am just feeling lazy.. heh..

NUNA! :D *waves* hello~ we gotta catch up and gossip

small update from tonights scribble.. continuing from yesterday gas mask people.. I think i am kinda obsessed.. I am not sure why? but I think it's the big oversized one piece suit and huge ass goggles... and of course the gas mask.. something about it that's really got me interested. I went off and picked off some images off google for inspiration. used ref for the first two for the pose and the baggy suit.. :)

http://www.minart.net/temp/soldier_2.jpg

might wrap it up later

http://www.minart.net/temp/soldier_3.jpg

steps for the ermm ChOW "death's horse"
funny enough I didn't think this would be anywhere near complete as I have now.. kinda thought I would be done with just a sketch.. but yeah...

well, I actually looked at some horse pics.. "research"... pbase.com had some nice refs.. I tried sketching out an idea.. but meh..
here are some I tried...
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_sketch.jpg

I just decided to go with this sketch.. I sort of had the idea I wanted a human under a horse skull embeded at the front.. you can see the faint initial super quick scribble in the back...

http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3c.jpg

Then using my large collection of custom brushes.... I roughed out the background..how it was going to sit and where I guess.

http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3b.jpg

I made this brush quite recently, for the horn.. I think the tree and shrub ones I downloaded from somewhere, can't remember where now tho...
so I drew out the horn..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3a.jpg

Rendering.. in B&W.. nothing special..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3.jpg

legs too short.. and some more refining..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_4.jpg

refining again.. now I notice that my horse is stuffed.. it was looking more like a deer/cow/dingo... time for some ref.. Oh and decided to add the name tags.. something about death made me realise I needed to make more reference to death..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_5.jpg

[bumskee]

I asked few people for help on making this thing more horse.. emily, bunny, tom.. tex, michele.. john.. ermm yeah.. most said the leg was too short.. Emily was kind enough to pinpoint lot of areas, like slouching back.. and so on.. :) with that I sort of made it half horse... lowered the ground.. and refined more..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_6.jpg

After this it was as simple as putting a colour layer on top... :)
refined a little more
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_7.jpg

and with some adjustment stuff tom taught me. and some more little adjustments here and there..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_f.jpg

at 100%
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_detail.jpg

and done!
:)

it actually took about 8 hours all up.. or something close to that number.. reasonably quick I think. :P

[Rebeccak]

*steals min's talent and runs away* ;)

Gawwwgeous :D

[kary]

Awesome. Love seeing the steps involved too :D

[anandpg]

OMG! Min!... I sincerely wish I could paint like you! ... awesome work!:thumbsup:

[boeserWolf]

... sitting here with open mouth :eek: ... awesome works mate :buttrock:

[razz]

Aahhh!! Freakin' amazing! I mean, damn, you're too good. Love the gas mask drawings. Me likes gas masks :D well, I like many kinds of masks.
Let me ask you one thing, was it life drawing that helped you the most with drawing and painting from imagination? Because that's the thing I do least, though I know it's damn important!

[Intervain]

OMG totally agree - too awesome for words ... I'd love to do some of that gas mask stuff in 3d... love the simplicity of those sketches... sheesh! KUDOS!

[NR43]

freaky stuff rox!
I gotta start saving for photoshop dammit (although I'm sure you could produce this in Painter as well - just that it lags if the brushes are too big)

great to see your workflow!

[rasmusW]

hey min!

-this is so freakin awesome. really nice stuff (-both horsie and the rest of the "gasmask" guys.

-r

[leif3d]

What the hell is wrong with you?!:eek:
*committing suicide*

[Mal-1]

I am one of the lucky few here, who thanks to the kindness of the members, have granted my sketch thread the honour of some lovely golden stars!!!

When I wander across a thread of this magnitude and utter brilliance I feel ashamed to have those stars..... a little like a vegetarian MacDonald's employee.

Your work, as it has been mentioned many times is freakin' awsome (and that is coming from a mild mannered Brit.....or POM as you call us in your neck of the woods).

Keep up the good work...I have PS CS2 and have no idea how you create such fantastic paintings and textures... a little tutorial on creating texture and the brushes you use would really make my day!!.....If you can......not pushing or anything....but if you don't I will get a cheap flight to Oz and hunt you down!!:twisted: :)

I have subscribed and I want to give you more stars, but I don't think you can have any more than 5..........so have this one instead!:thumbsup:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/Mal-1/bow_star.gif

[theflash]

I just stopped eating because I was hypnotized by your work man... You are my next target, I would try to reach your level of drawing... Keep a watch for me...

I love elegence in your drawings and also grayscale studies are just freaking awesome. And color rendering is just mind blowing... wow,.. But still keep watching for me :) (JK)

[Zephyri]

*jawdrop*

O.o

crap. Just.. wow. Just need to find ability to speak again.. mind blowing stuff. Oddly enough, the one that made me go wow most, until I got to the death's horse pic was the life study you did on your laptop.. the colours are so perfectly done on that I honestly thought you must have overpainted a photo at first. Course your sheer genius with all the rest tells me thats not so. Inspiring just doesn't fit the bill here... you're above and beyond that.

[alshakno]

Hey Dude!
Fantastic work
i really like it
these days i `m trying hard to draw linke you ;-)

[Blackhorse]

What can I say! Impressive lines and skill.

I just need to see more! more ~ ~ ~

[Darktwin]

beautiful work, love seeing the process also, great work Min, beautiful

[bumskee]

NUNA! heh, I have nothing to steal.. maybe some kimchi?

Kary, thanks

anandpg, heh, thanks mate..

boeser_Wolf, thanks!

razz, hey! thanks.. ermm life drawing? I go whenever I can I suppose but I think life drawing is different sort of drawing.. i suppose i treat it like studies.. because there's so much subtle changes in a figure.. those are best picked up at life drawing.. I think I do most of figure stuff from books tho..

Intervain, thansk dude! I can't do 3d tho!

NR43 thanks mate!

abyss103, cheers for droping by! heh

leif3d!! thanks (?) ermm

Mal-1, heh thanks so much for the kind words.. cheers! and as for those textures and stuff, ermm.. there's plenty of stuff at conceptart.org.. but yeah.. I swear I've been meaning to do a small tut on brushes and stuff with idiot apathy but never got around to it. Now that you mentioned it maybe I will give it some serious thought. thanks again and for the massive STAR! heh

theflash, thanks, you are too kind sir!

Zephyri, heh thanks, I really need to work on my colours, it's kinda of my biggest weakness I guess.. but colours so damn hard.. it's mind bogging.

alshakno, thanks!

Blackhorse, cheers

Darktwin, hey! Just saw you at conceptart.org heheh. thanks mate!

Just scribbles for this weeks ChOW.."modern day red riding hood" didn't draw much this week.. http://www.conceptart.org/forums/images/ca_smilies/normal/anj_sad2.gif No idea what I did...or how the week went.

Incredible gasmask dudes! I might want to model one or two of your sketches someday.

Love the gothic girl too!

[razz]

Mmm, can never get enough of that linework. Love the redesigns. Seen quite a lot of those these past few days. And very impressive ones. See THIS (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=31&t=477974&page=5) thread if you haven't already, guys continue painting on one of the DSG topics and dome some very nice work.
Back to your bloodred ridin' hoods, would be hard to choose which one I like the best. So, these are just ideas and you'll finish one of those?
Oh by the way, 5 stars aren't enough.
Thanks for the inspiration :)

[Cavematty]

YEAH MIN!
Great updates. Love the deaths horse.
Thanks heaps for posting up the process pictures. Very informative.

And as always.... huge inspiration :D

WOOP WOOP

ps. yes boobies. yes yes yes

Wow, bumskee, this threat is incredible... You made me buy my very first little Wacom. I'm soo happy, hope it'l work out okay.

I really enjoyed looking at your images. Thanks a lot!

Be well.

OOH! THOSE CURVES!!:eek:

Cavematty, heh, boobies FTW! (woop) thanks mate

SanderWit, cheers mate

vincent1, thanks!

anandpg, hehe yeah line work is really challenging I think.. thanks!

WOOP! I did the ChOW again.. coz.. I didn't like it.. didn't make sense to me.. and clearly not what I had in mind when I called out this topic.. SO yeah..always at the last minute.. but here's the new one.. I've been experiemnting with the lines and how I can bring it to finish.. still experimenting on the rendering treatment.. it's quite different to painted feel ones I think..

http://www.minart.net/temp/bumskee_CHOW70_red.jpg

Some sketchbook pages... (sorry for the crappy quality)
just lunch doodles.. nothing too exciting.. :P i kinda draw to relax outside and you do pick up few things here and there, especially on the anlge of the head.. and little doodles here and there..

oh mannnn... I love your line quality. Your face studies are really cool, I cant do that even with a reference. Keep inspiring us. And thanks for sharing your work :)

[razz]

Hello again, Min. At last I've spent some time sketching people at the city. Always waiting to see your stuff and this looks damn great! As always really :) I'm impressed now how you draw so many of those sketches during your lunch breaks. Even more inspirational to me then before.
The riding hood is looking good too, I don't even have to say that, do I? :D I like the skin color a lot, those subtle color changes on the face - great.
I want more!

[jurffy]

wow.. u are so inspirational!!! if u have time could you drop by my sketchbook and critique the CG i am working on? thank u it would be really really appreciated!

[ha-dou-ken]

Just stopped by here...I'm retarded for not coming here earlier.:banghead:

Dude, you rock! five hundred stars from me *******************************************************************************************

[Mal-1]

The step by step was a pleasure to view...I didn't realise you built things up tonally in B&W first and then played with getting the colours right...superb stuff!!

I believe we have a friend in common....a roomy of yours from the Kassan workshop...Mac!!
I linked on the figure forum this thread @ wet canvas (sorry..will now wash my mouth out) and he mentioned how he saw you constantly scribbling in your sketchbook....creating things from imagination....and almost competeing (duelling Banjos style) with the other Concept Artists out there, sketch for sketch....would have loved to have seen that.

Anyways thanks for the Step by step...going to go and view that again, a 100 times!!

BTW....do you ever use Painter?? It's my weapon of choice, and just wondered what someone like you could do with such a programme!!:applause:

STEPS for ChOW!

"Soul Collector" eee, spent probably all of my saturday on this..
I didn't sketch much for this.. coz I started at work.. and didn't have time to explore more ideas? and I am always too jumpy with ideas I think.. :)
some rough sketches...
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_sketch.jpg

SO i went with the last one... I quite liked the crouching ones.. hmm..
cleaned it up... the canvas size I worked from start was 3000 px wide.. and about 4000 px high..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_a_s.jpg
at 100% just a crop of it
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_a.jpg

Put some midtones underneath the sketch.. I went b&w again.. but this time I wanted to shorten the amount of time for b&w and spend more on the coloured version.. and also the fact that mid range grey tones work best with colour overlays.. keeping that in mind I reserved highlights and black for the last..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_b_s.jpg

Just rendering in B&W.. didn't take too long.. mayeb 2~3 hours tops.. like I said I kept it pretty loose and simple.. and minimum highlights, but pretty bland..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_c_s.jpg
at 100% crop of it again
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_c.jpg

Simple colour overlay.. I think this was like the basis of what I wanted to start with.. things will change dramatically and wanted to work more with colours this time.. kinda like rendered version of a pencil sketch I guess.. with simple wash over it.
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_d_s.jpg

I used some generic phot textures over it.. 3 I believe.. u can barely tell.. but it helps me pick off random stuff from it too..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_e_s.jpg

the background was too light.. I knew I was going to make the head thing glow a little so for it to work better it required a darker background.. so more contrast, added some lighter patches on the body.. I think I used overlay layers and so on.. not painted just adjustments
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_f_s.jpg

[bumskee]

Then I closed in and rendered out with colour, more defined shapes and less black outlines.. this probably took the longest I think.. you can see the reds coming out in the head area.. lighting the back of her was really tricky..heh..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_g_s.jpg
at 100%
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_h.jpg

Just wrapping small things up... the image is quite dark but I was going to adjust it later so.. I just kept going..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_h_s.jpg

bunch of colour adjustments...
tom suggest use of soft light layer to adjust the colour on her skin.. works treat..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_i_s.jpg

Tightening on vairous places, background and so on.. the chest area...
the red glow is more taking its place now..
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_j_s.jpg
at 100%
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_l.jpg

Adjusted colour again.. I did it quite often.
http://www.minart.net/temp/soul_l_s.jpg

AND with help of vairous people you know who you are! for crits... (thanks heaps guys and gals) i wrapped it up..bleh.. cropped

[Intervain]

woah awesome atmosphere in the last one!:thumbsup:

[theflash]

Fantastic mood you created in the atmosphere. Can't say enough for the last piece.

Can you tell me what is your method for blending colors while painting?

[NR43]

man it must be 15 years since I last had all stars
and they still look so cool to meh
:buttrock:

[anandpg]

OOH! WOW!:eek:... is all I can say!

[bumskee]

thanks guys!
theflash, I usually just pick the colours in between and paint and repeat process. I think everyone does it this way..

sorry for dumping stuff everywhere.. eee

ChOW sketch.. ermm I never bothered..

won't bore you with all the gestures.. coz it's boring.. it was mostly for myself.. but ended up being for that gesture thread in CA... all made up... just last batch of them I did..

some worked up sketches for ChOW..
http://www.minart.net/temp/j_1.jpg

http://www.minart.net/temp/j_2.jpg

a study turned into something.. had ref for clouds, mainly colours then worked from there... bleh
http://www.minart.net/temp/castle_f.jpg

the ChOW....... eeeee
http://www.minart.net/temp/chow_final3.jpg

[bumskee]

after last weeks ChOW i decided I need to study up anatomy.. some beefy men, from arnie's body building book. best $50 I ever spent.. 5~6mins each.. just trying to get the overall feel of the muscle groups... for beefy men.. more studies from the book coming up..
http://www.minart.net/temp/arnie.jpg

these are just random super quick sketches.. without any constructions just going for it without hesitation.. 10~15mins each.. (got bored after looking at so many beefy men)
http://www.minart.net/temp/j_3.jpg


Last Chow.. heavy gunner..
cleaned up sketch, you can see the super rough one behind.. unlike theones I posted up earlier it was more about anatomy..
http://www.minart.net/temp/hg_1.jpg

colour underneath
http://www.minart.net/temp/hg_2.jpg

rendering... just started from top...bad anatomy.. hence the studies..
http://www.minart.net/temp/hg_3.jpg

rendering still... spent few hours rendering it... and fixing anatomy.. got rid of the bird.. didn't work too well..
http://www.minart.net/temp/hg_4.jpg

added smoke and fixed little things.. adjustment layer...all done..
http://www.minart.net/temp/heavy_gunner_4.jpg

[bumskee]

this is a sketch for this weeks ChOW.. for gangus..
I like the left but I think right is more appropriate.. we'll see I probably render both..
http://www.minart.net/temp/vg_2.jpg

more experiments with what to do with line drawings...
so drew some chicks... kept it pretty modern... kinda like salaryman's approach.. he's such an inspiration.. but gotta figure something out for these.. Painting it really takes too long I think.. Also trying out halftone stuff.. bleh it's a mess..
as for figures.. need to do more feet..shoes.. folds.. :O hands.. faces... *sigh* help?

http://www.minart.net/temp/j_8.jpg

http://www.minart.net/temp/j_7.jpg

http://www.minart.net/temp/j_6.jpg

Just some scribbles/doodles for that gesture thingie, also rendered bits and pieces in b&w.. was kinda fun.. not thinking too much.. :x :D sorry for such a large image.. I usually just open a A3 @300dpi in PS and sketch away like below.. it's saved at 50%ish.

[batte812]

Hi Bumskee, great updates! I like the musician and the animals in the last one. Keep it up!

[theflash]

Hi Min, thanks for sharing the secret :)

This is a huge update and I am loving all. I love the musicial chow and the progressive painting you shared. Amazing and inspiring as always :) Thanks

[leif3d]

Your work is very inspiring...as well as your work ethic. I can see you are always drawing, I get kind of lazy sometimes, but you seem to be on top of it, keep it up!:thumbsup:

[rasmusW]

hey min!

wow! don't know what to say. all those amazing drawings...
there's alot to add to my inspiration folder. hope you don't mind.
i'll come back when i got something more intelligent to say:)

-r

[bumskee]

batte812, thanks!

theflash, cheers!

leif3d, heh thanks trust me, I am lazy too!

rasmusW, thanks!

OK! Not much drawing recently.. coz..errm I've been lazy..
but just something to share I suppose..
I've recently been included in August issue of 2dartist magazine.. The editor, Ben kindly sent me the PDF, and let me share it with everyone. (thanks ben) It's mostly ChOWs and just me trying to make sense. But yeah
didn't want to update without a pic..so..:(

Oh and here's something...
it was for Chow activity a while ago.. *cough*
just got ok to post it...

cheeers,
Min

[NR43]

Hey Min

lovely updates again!
The article looks really great too (haven't read it yet, will read it after supper)
I hope it brings more attention to your work because you certainly deserve it.

Keep well
J.

[theflash]

Thanks for sharing the article Min, it's really helpful. And thanks for the cool update :) You are really hardworking.

[Icey]

u r simply one bad ass dude!! incredible stuff.. love it all! and i mean ALL!

[bumskee]

NR43, thanks for the much kind words mate! :)

theflash, cheers!

Icey, thanks mate!

Firstly ChOW for Gangus (RIP glen!!) there were lots of nice entries... I didn't really have time.. with it.. I wanted to add a big plane but didn't get around to doing it....and maybe I will soon.. when I do I will maybe do the steps..for this..
http://www.minart.net/temp/vg_c_fb.jpg

The other one.. I started rendering it and then gave up.. this is like the typical case of "over" rendering and losing the plot.. :) I quite like this but it's too hard to pull of I think.. :(
http://www.minart.net/temp/vg_b.jpg

As I've said I am in kinda art slump, so I decided to study whenever I have time... ALL ref studies from pbase.com photos. best ref website ever.... I noticed I tend to lose the big picture in over rendering.. always.. so this was kinda like an exercise to remind myself to always value the overall picture.. It also helps with colours and observation skills I think.. I like doing bunch at a time so more sticks to my head.. ..anyways.. painted without any texture brushes and 60 & 100 opacity mostly. saved at 50% of the size painted.

your works is excellent. The paintings too
Painting in painter or photoshop?
And love de gesture drawing...characters style and faces :)

[pushav]

I have seen your stuff on conceptart for years. I always wondered how do you go about colorize your grayscale paintings.

[Cyanid]

awesome stuff. the sword one definately has a glenn angus 'feel' over it.

[Rist]

Fantastic stuff! You must be working your ass off daily! How many hours do you put into this per day? (on average)

[anandpg]

Oh, Min! You so make me want to paint!.... Awesome work on the thumbnails, dude!!... thanks for the inspiration!!

[bumskee]

Gisaiagami, thanks! yeah it's all photoshop

pushav, thanks yeah I've been mostly in CA.. tho i am trying to do more straight colours than b&w method. cheers!

Cyanid, thanks! that piece was a little rushed tho. light the leg...eeee

Fl3wk, well i used to paint much more, kinda slacking these days.. probably around 4~5 hrs a day? not much.. thanks!

anandpg, thanks! glad it's errmm motivating u a bit.. heh. cheers

[anandpg]

Hey Min! Are these "chick" drawings from imagination? How do you get such cool clothing?:eek: Awesome stuff!!

[pushav]

I like your b&w the best. and the fashion women that you draw like your latest batch. Keep that up.

Now time to make that Bumskee folder on my 2nd hardrive for inspiration.

[bumskee]

Intervain, haha yeah i will keep abusing them till someone tells me off big time.. eee

cheers, Min

[Gisaiagami]

wow...liked this wips...
First lovely colors. And second is very nice composition. simple and fabulous
:D
Use photoshop?

[Intervain]

Oh I love the first one - the red/pink colour's stunning with the golden tones! :applause:

[Asatira]

Very cool. I like the colors you have for the first WIP, very bright and shiny. The atmosphere in the EOW WIP is very clear, ie very cool and damp and moody. I think that's what you were going for.

Love the last piece, and the detail shot really brings out, well, the details. I'm gonna save it for inspiration/study. Flaws or no flaws, there's still a lot that works in it.

[Eiki]

Wow you are incredible! :eek:

Your feeling for color is amazing (in my opinion :)) :thumbsup:
Love those quick landscape sketches.


The other pics are georgeos! There is nothing to say but: want to see more :)

[dhruvsm]

wow...excellent piece of artwork...very inspiring...keep them coming!!!...we r greedy!!!

[bumskee]

Gisaiagami, thanks yes photoshop!

Intervain, thanks.. kinda experimental for me I think.. heh

Asatira, thanks, yeah i don't like it very much now that I look at it..haha.. :)

[tizianoadmirer]

Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the endless inspiration.

[razz]

Lovely stuff, Min! The monsters look beautiful, some more than others, hehe. I like how you twist anatomy to your needs. Pretty original designs too, I must say. Ahh, and I always get fascinated by your linework, ALWAYS! OK, I hate you! I'll have to fly to Sydney with Fellah to do some finger breaking, haha. Thanks for the inspiration, Min :D I love your stuff.

More! More I say!!

[rasmusW]

hey min!

-man, disturbing and beautiful monsters. there's some very original and intresting ideas there. especially like the "finger heads".

[Cyanid]

anandpg, hahah it's not that evil :P but my mum would call me a devil if she saw all the drawings I do these days..

tizianoadmirer, cheers!

razz, thanks dude! hahaha and yeah come over with fellah we can go for a drink or something.. wait u are under aged aren't u? hahaha. and as for the lines.. it's prolly coz I sketch in PS as oppose to pencils or other medium most people use..

[ralphreinle]

Hey bumskee, you just keep amazing me... incredible work! congrats!

Just one question: On the hands and feet study, where did you get your references from? From a book, or live sessions?

[bumskee]

[Intervain]

:cry: you're killing me... I wouldn't be able to paint an apple like that in a week not to mention as a doodle! love them!

[NR43]

I was thinking "This guy even got me sayin wow at an onion"... you're really something ya know...


*wonders off, scratching the head*

edit: the shadow of the left onion doesn't seem to correspond with the light source.
I should mention I really like that old man b/w portrait also.

[collings]

damn, hadn't seen this thread yet. :)
I love your gesture drawing studies man, and the heavy gunner concept looks so cool :)
Thanks for posting your stuffs :thumbsup:

[Auria]

[redehlert]

hey min! all's well here. gone to part time at my 9to5 so i can hit the cognition studio business more powerfully. ;)
sweet onion! well, it actually looks like a standard yellow onion, but sweet none-the-less! it brings a tear to my eye, it's that photographic!
will you be going to the conceptart/massive black conference here in seattle, jan '08? i hope so...be good to finally meet you.
okay...back to work!

[Cavematty]

Great stuff as always min.
Truly great :) and inspiring (jealousy and envy inspiring that is!)
I know what you mean about stuff being so far away! So annoying! Ha! Id LOVE to hit up one of those workshops. Jason Manly is actually speaking here at AnimFX at the start of November. I'm pretty excited about that. Although its nothing on the full workshop he is a pretty iconic figure and I'm really looking forward to hearing what he has to say :)
Still quite spendy though, and the rest of the speakers are all for animation... but Manly is worth it alone I reckon! wOOp!

Anyways, gon go draw something. I havnt posted anything online in waaaay too long.
Peace

Matty

[Intervain]

awesome! I really love the blue light on the first one!

Ahh, look who's back!! Damn I missed your stuff. Lovely girls, not so lovely creatures, fascinating environments, what else could I ask for? Where have you been all the time? Don't you see we want you spamming this thread?! And you do remember that I'd gladly hang some of your paintings on my wall, mm?
Well, awesome to have you back. Don't be gone for too long, mate :)

Hi min

following your art for a long time here and in concept art

the most enjoyable part is gestures for me

and have always one question! what is under structure of your gestures? if it is a shape that comes by lots of practice so what was your basic structure or what you will do first if you want to make a top accurate figure drawing?

thanks
