PELENG:

Thank you, manitwo!
Well, usually I start with clear idea of what I want to see. Some details and lightning may change during drawing, but all picture (composition, character, colors, mood) is in my mind when I’m starting.
I don’t use references. I don’t know why, but I prefer not to use them. Sometimes when there is a problem with mood, lights or certain effects I may google some similar pictures just to see how it can be solved. I don’t even open this pics in Ps, they are just as inspiration.
I prefer to start with rough B/W shapes in order to get right composition, then I add colors and details.

For about the last sketch, 70min is a clean drawing time. Before it I had two more attempts of starting. I couldn’t get the right pose and silhouette, so I began drawing from a blank canvas two times, then I went up to the mirror and tried to make a pose that I want, after it I returned to computer and started again at the third time. And everything was fine at this time. So, in most cases it is hard for me to do all things right quickly, but I try…

This is very interesting to know of your method of working. Its the one thing I am trying to improve is to constantly try and improvise the sketch, often trying from scratch. I noticed that in your work - The prizefighter - How you constantly changed and improved your background characters.

Its a treat watching your sketches.

Mateja, thank you buddy!
Always glad to hear from you! Yes I’m still trying to find job in Czech Republic, but still without sucsess. The deal is that I want to relocate to Czech Republic very much! But maybe friendly Czech peoples don’t think that it is good idea…

serrettyyuui · 2010-07-16 14:33:25 UTC

Why don’t you try to send your powerful portfolio to 2k games(they did Mafia 2- latest game) and they are from Czech republic. I think you should try with them
