Sketchbook Thread of Icey

Womball - i’ve searched google for capcom, and… manga?? hell no!! i hate that shit… :DI’ve noticed that people tend to see what they have in front by connecting that thing to their own experience images… Funny thing… :slight_smile:

boeser_Wolf - Thanks man! Glad you like them

razz - First of all, you’re absolutely right with the light and all… I seem to loose the understanding of shape in primary volumes and that’s why it gets so complicated - but i’m fighting with it… it must be damn easy! I’ll be painting some things up. I’m already doing that, but nothing finished yet… :slight_smile:

Hi Icey, great stuff here; some very creepy characters - and very well drawn. Keep posting!

#203

Hey, the lighting is much better now! Again great characters from which some should really be painted.
Do you draw any thumbnails before doing a finished drawing of a character like this? Even a few little thumbs could help you a lot in making a better design of a character. You know, maybe you would find something that looks better then something else. I love how the second character from top looks! You must paint it! :smiley: And an environment for him also would be nice, hehe.
Awesome work again, Bogdan.

Hey Icey
great character drawings you have here!
You know what to do with your pencil :slight_smile:

But some of your characters look rather abhorrent, you know? :rolleyes::D:thumbsup:

Wow, Smiley-Action :slight_smile:
Looking forward to see more of these (or even cuter ones :D).

batte812 - Thank you!

razz - I am doing thumbnails for some character… Actually i’m doing a lot of quick sketches and if something comes to me, i just draw it on larger and more accurate scale. I do have a lot of problems with character’s environment tho’ :slight_smile: Hope you like the paint! Maybe i’ll paint the tree-looking guy too… But right now i’m very busy with school…

BapKe - abhorrent is good! Because the theme requires so :slight_smile: I’ll do some happy ones as soon as i get the chance… Thanks a lot!

Here is the colour for the gnomon characters…

Awesome stuff, Icey!! … and incredibly creepy!:eek:

#207

HEY…Icey…:eek: :scream: :slight_smile:

DEFENITLY ORIGINAL, and FOR SURE …NIGHTMARISH VISIONS …:twisted: :scream:
A modern BOSH type painting set in a FANTASTICAL LANDSCAPE, would be a great approach to giving these nightmares a home, and a place to roam…:bounce: :slight_smile:
Maybe a black background with those colored versions would really enhance and strengthen the mood of them…just a couple of passing thoughts…:slight_smile:
ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE YOUR IMAGINATION AT WORK AND PLAY…Icey…:thumbsup:
TAKE CARE

anandpg - thank you! your opinion counts a lot!

Glenn - kind of sick too, i must admit… About the backgrounds - i’m never good at them, but maybe with practice i’ll get somewhere. Thanks a lot for sticking in :slight_smile:

Long time since my last post here…

ok… so this is the final image of the tutorial on my other thread… Kind of ugly not as a subject but as a drawing… :frowning: Not very happy with it…

damn! you kiddin’ me???!!:argh:

Admirable draughtsmanship, Icey!!:scream:

#211

Auria - you are right! I’m planning to spend a lot of timefrom now on with my wacom :slight_smile:

anandpg - :slight_smile: you’re kind! It’s not that it is that bad, but … maybe because my hopes were too high. Thanks so much!

here is something more - i’ve shown it before, i know… This is the stuff i like… Very fast and i think i got my speach right in every one…








#212

weird is cool :smiley:

these mirrorred drawings are very original and quite lovely to look at, so even if you feel this is not your best drawing ever… it’s still great art :slight_smile:

#213

HEY …Icey…:thumbsup: :slight_smile:

Your rendering skill, and draftsmanship are FANTASTIC…:bounce:
I REALLY think that you should put that GREAT IMAGINATION of yours to work, CREATING …PAINTINGS. … Along the lines and in the style, YOURS of course, but simmilar to Salvadore Dali…All that your images lack at the moment, are the fantastic fantasy landscapes and perspectives like Dali put his images into… That sort of imaginative landscape will complement your images greatly, and will bring them to FRUITATION, so to speak…:slight_smile: Just my opinion here Icey, for whatever it may be worth…:slight_smile:
Keep up the GREAT WORK, AND PROGRESS …Icey…LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING LOTS MORE…:thumbsup:

Sic and beautiful! Really nice penmanship as mentioned. I saw those colored ones you did - kinda reminded me of Carlos Huante’s work. I think if you’d go really subtle on coloring you’d get really nice results. Keep up! =)

#215

Uäh! :scream:
That’s a new definition of ‘all skin and bones’ ^^

Very cool! :thumbsup:

#216

Glenn - your opinion always counts :wink: This monts i’ll try to concentrate on digital stuff… hope i’ll have the pacience to spend a lot of time with the wacom in my hands…

vaaken - thank you! Not quite carlos huante, but i love the guy! I’ll try the subtle colors, but subtility isn’t something i can quite work with :smiley:
BapKe - hehehe - thank you!

The digital stuff… A humble begining… (well… not quite begining, but i’m close to…)

#217

I love your freaky stuff! Anorectic aliens of some sort. Ah, the great pencil work, can’t stop here without mentioning that, hehe :slight_smile: Nice colors in the digital ones. Kind of warm-ish but also cold-ish. Done in Painter, no?

Striving for more here!!

#218

Great stuff!

Those drawings are lovely, I don’t really remember any drawing I’ve seen before shock me as much as this! Very inspirational.

More please, as I’m also striving for more! :slight_smile:

HEY…Icey …:slight_smile:

GREAT to see you bringing some of these images to full color paintings.:thumbsup:
When doing these, you might try to get a full RANGE of COLOR VALUES in them…just like you do with your pencil renderings…DARK TO LIGHT/LIGHT TO DARK type of thing.
The more values you have in your colors, the more real your images will appear to be.
An example,…Take that purple, and use the full range/spectrum of the color…from the lightest shade of that purple, to it’s darkest shade.
Same thing for the orange color.
Try mixing the yellows and purples,…see if you can get a full range/sprectrum of GOLDS from those two colors…Add a little orange, and green to the gold…Try making different shades of gray from different color combinations…use the grays for toning down the colors that are too bright ect. Great for doing shades of skin color.
I think that you can and should try to get a realistic rendering on these fantasy images of yours…like that whisky bottle you painted/rendered awhile back…
That kind of rendering projected into your fantasy images, will give you and your style the realism that will take it and you into a higher level.
If you can, get some books from the library on the works of Salvadore DALI…Study his painting technique, and try it out on one of your own imaginings…I think that, that is a good direction for you to follow
in developeing your own painting technique,…whether it be digital. or traditional…
Go for realism in your painting technique, just as you do in your drawing technique…:slight_smile:
ANYWAY, it’s great to see you expanding your horizons, and venturing into the realm of PAINTING…I think you will be great at it, just takes alot of practice, and experimentation with COLOR, and all of the VALUES that can be created using it, while capturing the full SPECTRUM that it affords you
Really looking forward to seeing your progress and more of your paintings…and drawings :thumbsup: :slight_smile:
TAKE CARE
