Sketchbook's Kfeeras

[torstan]

Great sketch book. I particularly like the recent landscapes. Some of those mountains are beautiful. That last portrait is good too.

[Kfeeras]

Hey Torstan thanks for the kind words!!


So Following the Ryan Church DVD i came up with this:

[2buiart]

gnoman dvds are the shit!

[Janos]

Hey there,

Very nice sketchbook, I really like your life drawings and also enjoy the enviros. Two crits regard post #246:
The asscrack of the lady come too high and is to straight and dark. It should get less obvious the further up you go.
And in the first enviro the reflections of the trees is black, though the trees are lighted. Their colour reflects, too.

Cheers

[Kfeeras]

janos: Yay I know the reference looked also weird... thanks for the hints!!!

buiart: YESS

Stuff from today!!

Voodoo Child WIP

[Josef K.]

nice studies man! keep pushing!

[Jove]

Cool sketchbook man, don't forget that saturation usualy goes up with light and down with shadow + pure whites or blacks are very rare especially on characters, unless you have a strong spotlight directly aimed at you while standing in a dark room sort of scenario.

[JailHouseRock2]

Always impressed with your progress man, lovin the studies and Lifedrawing's and always dig you evos.

keep it up man,

matt

[Kfeeras]

Thanks Guys alot!!!

Here's the actual stage of the Voodoo Daddy. I don't know if I'm gonna work more on this. Maybe if I get a few more good hints.. hmm, but I think I'll turn back to fundamentals again!!

[Kfeeras]

Workin on that guy... learned a TON so far

[P]

Awesome sketches from life, SP painting. Painting studies are good, do more, its useful for painting from your head.

[Aaron Death]

Nice portraits and life drawings. Like that head from #255, it's fantastic.

[Kfeeras]

THanks for dropping by, pijus and Aaron!!

[Peter Berkovski]

nice work man, keep pushing there is an improvement, watch out the proportions they are off in some figures from these studies,the last digital character look off too, his head is too big for this body and his left arm looks broken ;) (it's because of wrong construction) keep pushing!
regards!

[zou]

funny caricatures.
one reminder: check your edges, some are soft other hards. (like the jaw of this last one, should be softer)

keep posting

[jackpot_anjr90]

Nice! It seems that your strokes have improved with the way they follow the form in the last couple of posts. Keep it up :)

[Oxide-0]

EDIT
(This was a bit of a joke, i should have explained better, Basically the idea was that all(most?) 2D paintings are "faking how stuff looks" because they represent a 3D world on a flat surface fooling the eye, so i coudent follow Kfeeras advice on this one unless i decided to become a sculptor heh. Im just sticking this in to make sure no one gets the wrong idea Kfeeras is awesome and gave me some great advice!)


Thanks for your Crits on my Image Kfeeras they were to the point and very helpful, though, i had to chuckle when you said

"My suggestion is to put the time in studies and drawing on paper, rather than spending hours on trying to fake how stuff looks"

I would have to give up painting to follow this advice, sculpting might work though :p
Nice Sketch book by the way

[Danny_K]

whoa! awesome sketchbook, so much improvement and dedication good job!
I love the purple pear creature on the pot it made me laugh ^_^ and house caricature is awesome.
you're anatomy studies are good keep up the good work!

[Giorge]

your doing the right thing , now you just have to push it hard enough so it can make a difference from day to day

[amarryth]

I think with that Damien Rice piece, if you had varying textures between the black and brown spaces.. like maybe doing the black background a bit more solid it would give a bit more hierarchy, as it seems there's a bit of battle with what to look at.. and it would give it more of a contrast punch.. plus, make the beautiful texture in the brown watercolour of the jacket stand out more :)

[jatherip]

yeah, cool stuff, but you update to little :) we demand a daily update! nah, just kidding :P
keep goin, more dr house stuff!

[Kfeeras]

Nice to see your workflow of that digital painting.....interesting to say the least:)

Tons of great studies here. No crits, just don't stop doing them ;)
That House caricature is also really cool.

Hey dude, nice sketchbook you have here, i will be back in next update.

keep posting and working hard.

Cheers

[Kfeeras]

Whheeeeewwwyaaaaa so much comments!!!!! I'll check your SB's when i find the time!

andres333: Yaay thanks dude. I take my vic twice when i get to fake the reciepe.

sandeepbarot: thanks!!

blu_dragon: Thank you! I work differently almost every time. But this method is something more secure, first the drawing then the tones. A lot of guys paint the blobs first without lines but thats how i "roll" ;-)

bombur: Thanks dude! I'm lookin for a new day-challenge... maybe hands? Or 60 chix?

arteater: Thanks man means a lot to me!!

iven: dankesehr. hihi. jo hab mir dein sb schon angesehn, hab auch kommentiert ;D

novbert: i WONT!! thanks!!

project-i: I will, thanks! you're better off putting a link to your sb in your signature. i dont care, but many people dont like when you link to your sb in theirs ;-)

enthombed: thanks a lot!! i will!!

great studies! your progressing well.

[AsaB]

Awesome SP! :)

Those studies are awesome too, you sure are producing a lot. I loved the top ones here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=801206&d=1255387033), the exploring line describes the form so well!

So maybe some Monkey Island from you too? ;)

[Novbert]

Nice self-portrait, man! Just some nitpicking: Left eye isn't polished enough. I guess it could use some flattening and simplification. And both upper and lower eyelids looks somehow too emphasized and unnatural. The nose is too flat (okay, maybe you have such a flat one :P) The contour line around the right nostril is too strong, The shading of the upper lip and the area abowe that is a bit strange, maybe too bright. And... that's all.
Your studies are still awesome.

[monotony]

great work and improvement since I've been around last time.
the "house"- drawing and -painting look tops!
and I like your sp as well. I'd prefer it if you used a bit less of the brightest highlight though. It looks a bit like an overexposed photo could look like. maybe save the brightest light for fewer and smaller spots. the valuerange looks very good though and it might just be personal preference.
keep it up!

[Saurus]

Thanks for stopping by my sb a while ago man!...your stuff's looking great! I really like your Dr. House...you seem to have my same problem where your work doesn't seem as finished as it could be...I'm still trying to see how to fix that hahaha...but keep posting!

[Kfeeras]

hey you guys, thanks a lot for the nice comments and crits. havent been here for a while. Been coding a lot lately for the project and didnt have the energy for more time intensive and finished stuff.

Nice, your works show good progress, you seem to accomplish more by fewer pencil lines than at the beginning. But please don't sacrifice drawing for some humbug programmin' :)
I've got just one question regarding your moleskine: how do you avoid smearing the pencil everywhere on the previous pages when you draw on top of them? You put a piece of paper underneath or something (which doesn't work for me) Or maybe you don't? :D Or am I applying too much force and FURY into my pencil?

[Kfeeras]

@tmth

well, programming and designing usability is kind of my other passion, since i'm an IT-Freak. I still draw a lot in my sketchbook, but didnt get to do much painting. A few more weeks then I'll have time to put in the hrs on my wacom and i'm going to start oil painting.

About the MS: I use an HB mechanical pencil 0.5 diameter, it smears but not that much. I buy the Moleskines with the heavy sketching paper and i don't push that hard on the pages. I don't put paper under the pages, it would thicken the book too much. I already have so much postcards, businesscards and shit in the pocket on the last page.
Oh and if you would see the SB live you would see that it smears, but I dont really care that much ;-) Thanks for the comment!

I'm doing a painting right now for my 1000th Post! Its a green lady portrait, the WIP is in the WIP/Crit section

take care!
