Hi everyone,
I start this thread to motivate myself to paint more, to learn more and to get better.
I participate myself quite a lot in the daily speedpainting thread in the forum, but these pictures are allways done pretty fast and are created from reference.
Here I’ll take more time and try to get more imaginative, more creative.
Anyway, I would love to hear your comments and critic.
Enough talk lets start with a picture.
Thank you
here’s an other one. Since the first one is based on a reference I just wanted to do something without one. But somehow I think the composition could be better.
I Liked the first one too!! Totally nice!!! (:
Keep yourself motivated and don’t stop studying my friend!!!
definately a wonderful start ^^ cute face i love the freckles and teh expression is great! you can really feel it. Keep it coming!!
i like the dynamic feeling of the 1st one. nice composition!
i don’t feel the second one - still it keeps some potential for a nice painting.
yeah its the same with me. I don’t really know why it does not work. I should go back and analyse that.
here I was testing a new brush I was thinking about for some days. I like the structer it creats and it makes hatching something much faster.
and two doodles I did both from references:
here’s an other one. this time I experimented with coloring a grayscale scribble. I used two version of a colorlayer over the grayscale one. The top color layer I set to linear light the second to color dodge. Don’t konw its somehow interesting how it turned out. I think I will try to use something similar once again.
I lie yor sketches.
The first one is my favourite, the blending of the skin is really good.
I think you should try blending likethat in your other pics as well!
the first one is absolutely good, cause it has a good technique and a very nice feeling :applause:
Also the greyscale girl seems good to me, it has good proportions.
I’d like to see more in the style of the first one, btw 
Thanks everyone for stoping by and commenting my pics.
hehe me too. The thing is the first picture is the only one I took some hours to complete. And I don’t finde so much time these days. But my goal is ist to learn and to get better even in a shorter timeframe. So I hope I can deliver some nice pictures soon.
I know what you’re talking about. First paintings took endless hours and after a while you loose interest in your painting - so it helps to switch to another painting and go back to this one later. But after a while you will see that you get quicker than in the beginning.
I still go through this kind of process but it’s fun to see the development…
you can tell that you spent more time into your first picture - the other ones are more concept/speed drawings…but still nice ideas!
hi this was more or less a test with the pallet-kniff bursh I created. Just a fast doodle to get used to the brush. It has quite a nice flow but is a bit hard to control.
intrieged by the dynamic of the palett-kniffe brush i tried to create some poses. But I don’t think that I can get to crazy with that brush, its just to hard to handle. But it was non the less a interessting experiment. And something is once again clear as cristalglas. I NEED TO PRACTICE DRAWING THE HUMAN FIGURE WITHOUT REFERENCE!
Any tipps how the create dynamic and interssting poses?
hey
In this pic I tried to combine the speedpainting way of smashing things together with a “standart” painting. I’m currious what you think about it.
I like the environment! Is this done freehand? It almost looks like a patchwork of pictures with some PS-effects. If done by hand the you did a nice job…this holds a lot of potential - but at the other hand - the character doesn’t seem to fit into this style. So get rid of the character and what you got is a nice painting!
i hope you know what i mean.
VISEone thanks for your comment…
I see what you mean. The background is created with the aid of 3-4 images smashed to gether(distorted, mirrored and so on.) And a lot of custom brush work. I just worked randomly until I got something pleasing. Although I always had a destroyed city in mind. Now, because I don’t want to create a picture just using that technic I wanted to add character. Now as you said it is not very well integrated. I will get my hands on that picture later and will try to integrate the character in a more belivable way.
