Really cool drawings. Good fog effect. Maybe some more detail would be great. Oh and if u have time can u check my sb, i'd like to get some tips from u.

[Wolfentir]

A new painting of Gandalf, I finally "have" a scanner so more will most likely come soon. I have an Ent that will most likely be done by the end of the day too.

throtailer : Thanks for the comments, the fog effect is due to laziness/not really knowing what to put there, as I said more detailed things to come.

I like the dimensionality of the Gandalf drawing and the top two paintings.
The Ent drawing gives the feel of a watercolor painting with ink over it.

Keep at it.

[cuss_a_brown]

your linework is really nice! i'm not sure if you're just starting out or not, but if you're looking for improvement, you could start by adding some texture and depth to the gandalf piece; it's certainly good but think it needs a bit more work 'cus it's a bit flat :P adding something in front of him might make it more interesting as well.

good work so far tho!

[oomgawa]

You are doing a good job with creating atmospheric depth,
something that I have to work at.

Working from reference is not cheating.
Neither is using bits and pieces of copyright free imagery.
Just be sure to actually paint them after you have them in place.

For more of this technique, check out mattepainting.org

[Wolfentir]

Some new sketches, some for class some on my own ;)


205287

Towel. From observation for mah drawing class.

205288

Trying to get back into drawing people. For vikings, are intense.

205289

Got this idea from someone else, drawing Roman busts, more to come with this, they're very helpful for facial features.

[Wolfentir]

205594

Meant to put this up last night but didn't get a chance. Its possible artwork for my band.

[Wolfentir]

Here are some drawings from a figure drawing session.
ph33r to draw t3h p33n.


First sketch of the day, trying to get a good technique as this was my first figure drawing class wif n00dz.

206803
206804

Getting better...
206805
206806

Sorta distorted.
206807

This one was hard as hell to draw.
206808

And last one of the class, was getting frustrated and attention span was fading, so this one isn't that good :D.

206809

[Wolfentir]

Some new stuff I've been working, will try to get more frequent posts going now haha.

and if anyone can please give me some tips on how to paint forests better PLEASE tell me or link me to something that might be helpful, I like completely blank when doing forest scenes.

SOME UPDOOTS!

Peppers and Snakes for my drawing class at skewelz. I did/do quite enjoy the snake ones that I did one from memory, which is the last one of the snakes you shall see. The bottom drawings are crimes against humanity, IMO, but thats the whole point. Drawing 1 is A common American man walking in his suit jacket and tie with no pants on flipping his wife off, looking strangely like Marylin Manson with his new Asian Balloon girlfriend. The bottom-most drawing is of Lursay Sampson, a close relative to Burt Sampson and Hummer Sampson as well as Merj Sampson.

HOW DO ALL? I KNOW YOU MISSED ME BIG TIME. Well, updates will be more frequent, as I will be having a more constant sketchbook, which evidence of said sketchbook will be uploaded and proven with pics, as it is told that "pics. or it didnt happen". Anyway, I got a Cintiq 21UX which is amazing, and I have started reworking old crap and doing new crap.

470645

This would be an update to the old chaos dude i was painting, needs moar work, but yeah, just an update.

470646

This is for a potential graphic novel set in the Warhammer 40k universe.

470648

[jedininjaman]

last poses are nice man
just keep trucking you are getting better :)
-jedi

[Wolfentir]

Hails all. I just did some paintings from reference, got the idea from a perspective thread here, I was just trying to get the overall feel of the painting and not any of the smaller details, also trying to train my eye better to see color for what it really is rather than what my brain thinks it is

491876


491877

if anyone can tell me how to paint grass more detailed that would be great, because i can seem to get the basic colors down but i cant quite make it look like grass

oh and thanks for the comments jedi

[Wolfentir]

492232

just continuing with the whole environment thing, gotta refine more

[IanE]

Hey, really good start! I think there's an inherently good potential in the linework shown on your post for September 10. The new anatomy studies are coming along well but remember the goal isn't to master Bridgman's line style but moreso his technique and fluidity in forming the studies. Focus more on the forms as three dimensional masses, and less on recreating the exact same style you see in his work!

Keep drawing! Good stuff going on in here.

[Wolfentir]

Hi all, I need some help with colors on this one, I'm trying to make this look like an overcast sky, if there are any links or anything anyone finds handy for such lighting let me know, any crits are welcome!

Hi all, got a new sketchbook for this semester, and while lurking i found the site characterdesigns.com which is incredibly awesome. I had been wondering if there was a site like that, anyway...

And some creatures for the COW this week

[Wolfentir]

birds for the bird god

500846

[Wolfentir]

Ahoy, a small update for the creature of the week this week

502761

[Wolfentir]

Spring form of the current COW
It is less hairy, more fit (for running and what have you) the mountain on its back has formed a crater type thing, which it splashes color in to attract mates as well as newly formed rocky horns with long colorful hair also for finding a mate.


504406

[deerinheadlights]

Sweet work! I especially like your life drawings. Your COW creature looks really good so far, interesting to make it a mountain.
For your birds for a bird god picture, the values look really muddled to me. The shadows on the side and the hood look way to close to the background, I think you should make one of them darker. Also, the abs look unnatural packed that way (at least to me, but looking at some pictures they look like that, in others they don't), and the side looks to wide. I like the arms and the details are coming out well, though :)
Great sketchbook overall, can't wait to see more!

[IVIATT]

Bridgmans = win. Good figurework, copying Bridgman's creates so much improvement so fast and I can see that in your work. I actually drew some of those same figures and they are in my sketchbook if you want to check them out. Your line quality is great in your figures. When it comes to realism in painting, you should try not to blend with white. What white ends up doing is it desaturates your colors and actually does the opposite of creating a convincing sense of light. What you want to do is study how light in different conditions (indoor, outdoor, cloudy, sunny, time of day) effects figures. Also, pretty much the same deal, use black sparingly when it comes to shadows. Of course, if you are going for a more stylized look than the above doesn't always apply. What really helps is to go to youtube and type in digital painting or look for videos by this guy Bobby Chiu. If you just sit and study how he works you will learn an enormous amount in a short period of time. Again, nice figures, good concepts look forward to seeing more.

[Wolfentir]

deerinheadlights Thanks for the comments, I'm still trying to work a lot with lighting and such.

IVIATT Thank you for the critiques, tis why I started this sketchbook, so I could receive some critiques and criticisms about mah stuff, I'll be doing some light studies soon definitely. I've gotten a big urge to do a lot of painting, so I'll probably be doing such. I've actually watched some Bobby Chiu videos, and the dude is insane with how he shades, I've tried doing it in his style, but usually it goes downhill fast, but gotta keep going and practicing!

Got some new stuff now

Start off with some Mouse Guard fan-art, this comic is awesome.
565232

Steampunk self portrait

And my idea for the current CHOW, the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, as well as a little speedpaint thing of Batman and Scarecrow
565240
565241

[Neolight]

You should incorporate one of those neato life drawings into a composition, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.


You really did a good job with those, and it could potentially make a really strong painting.

Steampunk gentlemen are still rocking.

[Wolfentir]

Hello everyone, been busy getting my blog (http://mattmarblo.blogspot.com) together and whatnot, I also got a twitter (http://twitter.com/wolfentir) account, being all fancy and whatnot. Lemme know if you has a twitter, i need all the people i can get :P. Heres some of my latest crap

[Lotta]

thanks for dropping into my sketchbook ^___^
you seem really to have made a lot of progress from your first pics! I especially like the linearty stuff you have made for the cows aroud post 33 and 34. I really like the texture on the caterpillar too :D. just keep it up :D

[Eon]

Very varied sketchbook! You can work very different styles. You've gotten better already. The COWs are particularly good. Keep at it man! And keep posting regularly!

[Helltroll]

Thank'ee much for looking at my sketchbook thread.

I quite like the chaos knight, and nice figure studies.

[Wolfentir]

lAhlbeck Thanky for the kind words, I'm making an effort now to do some more of the line-arty stuff, still doing a lot of experimenting with styles and whatnot, seeing what I'm comfortable with/good at.

Eon Thank you as well, another thing I'm trying to make an effort of doing is posting more regularly, which is difficult when most of my stuff is in my sketchbook and I don't own a scanner at home.

Helltroll Haha, man. That chaos knight, I should finish that one of these days.

Heres my entry for COW 131

[Wolfentir]

Hollllllly balls havent posted in this sketchbook in a while. I've decided to not do the fairy tale style for a bit unless something really calls for it. I been looking at Vorace's art and shit is inspirational beyond anything, just looking at his stuff is really helping me out. Anyway, some old stuff.

Updated Baba Yaga

[.s.]

hey! thanks for stopping by.
really good stuff here, too :) I especially like the works you did for COW. Like #33 and #34. Really love the style

[Diverse]

Your Sith lord is great!

[AlexTooth]

beautiful sketchbook so far, keep up the hard work!

A word on your pencils, try not so harsh lines everywhere, softer contours, softer lines, try to shade with the muscle direction etc.

I am similar position to you, trying to learn also! Though you are way ahead on digital than me!

[Fjooner]

Really good progress here.
I like the creatures, and love the Bridgeman studies! :]
Keep it up!

[Janos]

Wo really nice Updates Wolfentir.
What I am totally happy and pleased about is that you are willing to try other styles. The fairy book style works, but it is so much more interesting when you don't use it all the time. The Sithlord is a nice imagem, but there are some things that bug me big time:
-The boots really need more work. Very flat atm and they aren't decribing the foot at all.
-Texture on cape doesn't work. Its needs to be made into a 3d pattern. It might have worked in the fairy tale style, but not like this.
-Arms are very short.
-Face is VERY nice and interesting
-Generally I think you could have invested more time in the design process. What is special about her? I really see a Sithlord atm.
-Also in the cropped image, the floating stance doesn't work.

The pencil and charcoal work is nice, more values in the pencils perhaps.
Thoughts about charcoal pic.
-Clouds, Zepelin and characters very nice, maybe more details on characters, but not too much
-Background doesn't work. The black mountain and the many lines in the sea do not describe the elements well I think.
-A shadow of the Zeppelin on the grass would have been nice

Okay, sry for rambling. Keep updating regularly!

[Wolfentir]

.s. - Thanks for the comments.

Diverse - Thank you, I like how it turned out.

AlexTooth - I'm workin on them pencils as we speak haha, trying to do what you said with shading in the muscle direction, I like how that looks, and it makes the muscles look a lot more real and 3D.

Fjooner - Thank you, I gotta do some more Bridgeman, although I'm working on some Bammes right now, hes quite handy.

Janos - Thank you for the detailed crits. I did notice towards the end that the Sith Lady's arms were a bit short :(. I agree with the cropping too :/ I just need to learn how to paint forests better, or create forest scenes, as I tend to do a lot of forest stuff. Thank you for the crits though :D



Here are some updates for the CHOW this week, Puss in Boots, I'll try to get some pencil studies from Bammes I've been doing lately, gotta get back to anatomy studies, I get so lazy and forgetful with those.

615793
615794

and sum watchmen

615792

[serio]

I can see the inprovement. I like your studies also some designs and ideas. I'll have an eye on your incomming stuff. Keep posting.

[Isobel]

I'd have to ssaaaaaayyy
I like it^ ^
And I'm curious as for more variety, I allways am.
keep up the good work and don't get as lazy as me! ahha

[Wolfentir]

serio - thanks for the comments, I intend to keep posting ;D

Isobel - Thanks! Must not get lazy...


Just some little experiments with this iPod app called Brushes. I should start doing color studies again.

616871
616875

[Eon]

Dude, dude, DUDE! Thanks for introducing me to Arthur Rackham!! He rocks my bells! Awesome!

Those Rackham inspired CHOWs are very strong works. Why the halftones patterns on your sith girl? It's not a pop image so it doesn't serve a purpose and disrupts the style. Halftone would work as part of some graphic design elements over the whole piece to transform it once painted.

Keep on rocking though!

[Wolfentir]

Eon - Arthur Rackham is friggin awesome, I'm glad I introduced you to him and his awesome style. Its surprising how many people, it seems, haven't heard of him. The halftone on the sith girl was a very poor texturing job, trying to make it look like wool.


Puss in boots :)

[Wolfentir]

Got a new sketchbook. Got Hogarth's Dynamic Life Drawing, gonna try to do either 2 pages from that a day, or if that seems too overwhelming, then a bunch of Bridgeman's shit. I'll try to post as frequently as I can, I just dont have a scanner of my own and the one I get access to is quite unreliable. So heres what I've done so far. I'm aware that a lot of the heads are wonky, but I plan on drawing this book a couple times over at least :P.

Hey everyone, I haven't posted here in a while, damn. I've been doing some stuff experimenting with a new style, it isnt really like conceptarty, but I like it and maybe some of you will too!


So I start you out with a character from an old animation, revamped, for I intend to bring the animation back and make it into a series of sorts, or at least use the characters for animations in the future. the series is called Honor and Glory
714743

Heres a silly self portrait I did of myself, of what I've essentially looked like the whole summer. Boba Fett sweatshirt FTW
714744

sum office fan-art, sent it to Rainn Wilson via twitter, not sure if he looked at it or not, im guessing not
714745

Doctor Who fanart :D
714746

Some cyclops characters that will be in the honor and glory series, with an obvious Flapjack influence :P best show on TV right now.
714747
714748

And speaking of which...
714749

And an epic poster for Honor and Glory

Wowowowowow! Those are hot digital landscapes you've got there. I wish I could improve as fast as you do.
I like your cartoony flat colors also and it's good to see you doing so many studies. Keep pushing the contrast and color variety on your skin tones. Also those exaggerated females came out very exaggerated indeed. I think the muscles work but the heads might be a bit too small and take away from the attractiveness.
Your life drawings look great great great! Have you tried working with ink wash and chalk pastels? They can lay down shading quicker and let you hammer in more mass.
Keep it up, your doing fantastic.
