WIP :)

[Litho]

Super darbai ir itin geri gebėjimai. : )

Bet tavo darbuose, ne visuose, yra per daug fotografiškumo, fotografinio apšvietimo, kuris ne tik suplokština tavo formas, bet ir iš piešinių atima daug grožio : (

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=888488&stc=1&d=1264439010
Kaip kad tokiuose tavo dėta šviesa yra maždaug visur, ir dėl to kairioji veido dalis, kalnierius (jei ten kalnierius), kaklas išstiumiami į priekį ir gaunasi plokščias vaizdas kartu su atsuktu žandu ar plaukais.

Tu žiauriai kietai varai ! ir kartais per širdį suduoda tas fotografiškumas : )
Neturiu nieko prieš fotorealizmą, ir ten tas natiurmortas yra ok, bet nevisur jisai ir jo specifika tinka.

Tu daug dirbi nuo nuotraukų?
Mokais/studijuoji?

[RokasButkys]

Litho - Labas, labai malonu, kad patinka. Taip, as daug mokinuos piesti is nuotrauku, tai turbut ir tas fotografiskumo apsvietimas, matosi mano piesiniuose. Reikes pasistenkt padirbet su kitokiu apsvietimu :) Mokaus 12-oj klasej, bet labai noreciau studijuot menus uzsieni, niekur neskubu, spesiu :)
Man tavo darbai labai patinka!! malonu susipazinti :)

Totally admire your traditional stuff! Do you sometimes mix with digital?

[RokasButkys]

Keeviin - Thankyou kindly. Sometimes i edit a bit brightness and contrast, because of bad photos, but thats it :)

Hey, thanks for commenting in my sb.

You've got some really great stuff going on here, I particularly like the brown paper drawings. The clouds in #271 are also looking great.

gotta get some more brown paper.

Selfportrait!

[Litho]

Mokaus 12-oj klasej, bet labai noreciau studijuot menus uzsieni, niekur neskubu, spesiu

Ziauriai kietai pagal amziu varai. Perspejimas, aš pats baiginėju, ne menus, bet pusiaukelyje, užsienyje, ir vieną dalyką sužinojau - pas mus daug geriau mokina, nei užsienyje.
Vienintelė nesąmonė tai kaip tik va neseniai užkeltos absurdiškos kainos menų studijoms...
Jei gali ten į kokią VDA įstoti, tai labai gerai. Niekur kitur, nebent Sankt Peterburge ar tik poroje vietų visoje Europoje (kaip kad Royal Academy of Arts Londone, bet ten tik nuo magistrų lygio) negausi normalaus meninio išsilavinimo.

Didžioji dauguma menų aukštųjų yra “sugadintos” modernizmo, kur užmirštas klasikinis mokymas, ir labiau primena darželį. Daug kur nebūna aktų, neturi jokių gipso skulptūrų, ir net apskritai nemokina piešti. Būk budrus, labai gerai pasikonsultuok su menus studijuojančiais studentais, dėstytojais, dailės mokytojais.,.,., pasikonsultuok su

SĖKMĖS EGZAMINUOSE!

[RokasButkys]

Litho - Aciu! Suprantu kokia situacija nori pasakyt. Rinksiuos mokykla atsargiai, tik labiau orientuosiuos kur didesnes stipendijos, nes mokslai uz menus brangus visur. Jei nepaslaptis ka studijuoji? ir kur? Tavo sketchbookas taip pat tikrai geras.

I like your application of strokes in your digital work.

[soros]

I like the pencil style like the first drawing in post # 181 and the first in # 269! Keep on drawing!

Inspired by Phil Hale

[RokasButkys]

Todays studys :oneye:

[Litho]

Vau, na ką aš galiu pasakyti apie tavo darbus, apart to, kad nuostabūs? :D

Pastebėjau, jog neretai tavo skait. darbuose trūksta aštrumo. Itin stiprus to pavyzdys būtų figūra tame Phil Hale tematikos darbe, ji visa yra be ryškių momentų, taip pat ir dažnas portretas, kaip ir tas naujausias vintažinis tipo jūreivio - net antakiai ar akys jaučiasi it būdami su lengvu bluru, tikriausiai nuo tavo Photoshop teptuko.
Aš siūlyčiau kartkartėmis paimti kažką labai aštraus, įsijunkti kad ir Pencil Mode (jis itin geras), ir tiesiog paaštrinti kai kurias dėmes.
Nesiūlau daryti linijų, ne, jos itin maišo toniniam darbe ar tapyboje, ir tam pačiam portrete kur yra keletą linijų jos itin nemaloniai gadina tapybos dermę, itin suplokština, “dizaino” prasme nesiderina.

Studijuoju Computer Games Art, University of Teesside. Šūdų šūdas, itin gailiuosi čia prastudijavęs, nes nieko pats unikas manęs neišmokino. Et. : )

Man rodos tikrai atrasi keletą Europoje tinkamų meno akademijų.
Šiaip svarbu, kad vienas iš curricula būtų kažkas panašaus į šitai:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiUfVKPEKxU&NR=1
Ir kita dalis būtų ties šiuolaikiniu menu, na, vatever...

Šiaip ką norėtum veikti gyvenime? Į kokią industriją lįsti?

[RokasButkys]

Litho - Aciu dar karta.Jo tikrai kitur per daug to bluro tokio matos, kalti mano keletas megstamu brushu. Noreciau kurti characterius, noreciau tapyt figuras, noreciau tapyt natiurmortus ir labai noreciau iliustruoti knygas, zurnalus ir panasiai :) vienu zodziu pragyventi is savo megstamo uzsiemimo.

I thought i should start creating my characters that lives in my head :)

Great sketchbook.

[RokasButkys]

Metal Fingers - thanks!

Signed up for drawing classes. Great teacher.
A3 graphite :)

[YihyoungLi]

The values look good! Although I don't think the proportions are correct. Maybe navigating the structure a little more by marking the planes? I think doing so will help you identify where the values should be placed too, and the drawing will look more solid.

Btw I like this one (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=965062&stc=1&d=1272469008). :) Just a small nitpick, and you created a while ago anyway, but perhaps if the shadows were more saturated it would create nice surprises.

[RokasButkys]

YihyoungLi- Thanks! well the planes were marked in previous steps. But yes the eyes out of proportion, its a tricky part for me.

hes well known person in my town

[Yor]

amazing! really wonderfull portraits !

[zimfin]

Good to see lots of studies! Best way to improve and it is showing in your work. Keep it up.

[Jonathan C]

Great work here, your portraits are particularly nice!

[RokasButkys]

Thankyou guys! i really appreciate it!!
Some figures are from "pilobus" dance videos.

[NickyBeats]

hey man, i Love your work!! all of it rocks, but i especially love the studies, they look very crisp. keep it up!

wow, fantasticly expressive brushwork.

[RokasButkys]

Thankyou guys.

A3, graphite ;)

[Retrothomas]

I admire the way you create shading with pencil strokes. They all just seem to go in the right direction. I really enjoy the last portrait in particular. Keep it up!

The woman's nose stands out, too. I'm a beginner and on the last piece I was working on the nose was a real pain. Yours looks great :)

[FAST ART]

your work in post 304 shows me you deserve five stars :)

[Adrian Wilkins]

301, 303 and 304 are really great! the others look a bit rushed but you have proven that you've got the skill!! give us more of those :)

greets
Adrian!

[RokasButkys]

Retrothomas - Thanks! I erased the face 3 times and the nose about 6 times :D

FAST ART - Ha thanks! :party:

Adrian Wilkins - Thankyou! ill do my best. Cheers

Some fast experimental doodles ;D

[HumbleEgo]

Nice studies!

[Calader]

You have some truly great portraits in here and the colour handled really well! A lot of your figures and poses look a bit awkward and stiff. I would suggest more loose gestural figure studies to fix this. Try and capture the motion and flow of the figure with just a few strokes and do lots!

[RokasButkys]

Thanks guys!

[P]

tai kai tu gerai piesi! :D

[RokasButkys]

Aciu Pijau!

This was a sketch at friends house, turned out to and psy drawing ! :)

[insanelight]

You have some very nice sketches in your sketchbook.
The latest one is very interesting!
Ah, I would like to visit your country one day :)

[RokasButkys]

insanelight - Thanks! haha

[Justas]

Sveikas, that psy stuff is just craving for some crazy shit in the backround imo, with some music color blast or sth :) Imo. The orc/goblin sketch is extremely tasty!

[RokasButkys]

Justas - Na jo turbut reiktu kazko fone tame "psy" bet greiciausiai prie jo nebesugrisiu :) Thanks!!

[RokasButkys]

todays doodle turned out like this

[Charmer]

Heyho!
I totally like your sketchbook! Here are a lot of things which are completely crazy and sick. That's very cool! Your figure studies and paintings are very, very alive.
The colours are very good in #321. Like it.

Keep it up!

oil painting and random study of yogis sadhus

[purplegoat]

I'm enjoying your sketchbook! Very inspiring. Keep up the good work :)

[Charmer]

I really like the oil painting! Looks very good in my opinion.

[kiwigarbage]

Yummy! I like your touch.

Be careful not to get so caught up in the detail of your figures that you lose proportion (something I am super guilty of too T_T)

[RokasButkys]

Thankyou guys!!!
kiwigarbage - i get sometimes too detailed on mine first sketch, need to organize more. Thanks!

Worked more on this one, but i think it needs more colors, the black makes it look "dirty". What you think?

[P]

naaaais!

[Justas]

You mean "black" by background or that you mix pure black into your colors?

[Charmer]

Jepp it makes it a little dirtier.

[RokasButkys]

Justas - Yeah i meaned that i mixed too much black in colors
Thaaanks guys!

[sony]

Your illustrations are very thoughtful, the color range is really vast, enjoyed your portfolio website. :)

[varethane]

Wow, really neat stuff-- morbid in the best kind of way. I like the deformed faces from a few posts up... The muted colours give them a really disturbing kind of atmosphere. Works really well!

[RokasButkys]

thanks guys!

[AustenFM]

Hey hey, you're up to some fun work in here. I like all of your drawings from life, and your psychedelic work is leaving a nice impression on my soft brain. great stuff. Your traditional paints are also really stellar, i need to get back into that myself.

No real crits, i like whats going on here. keep it up!

[TheFallenAngel]

Your paintings are awesome! I'm too scared to even touch a brush most of the time...

Very inspiring use of colour o: Especially digging the portrait at the top of the page.
