My journey

[Windsrock]

Hi people!
My name is Kaisa and I'm here to improve and get inspiration, just like you :) My dream is to do illustrations but for challenging myself I'll do all kind of things.
Please feel free to comment. And come back again ;)

[skorpi]

Nice start, I like the deing of the one in the first post.

[Windsrock]

Oh, thanks skorpi :)

Here is some pencil sketches. Anatomy of the winged demon or Lucifer isn't absolutely right, but I still like it a lot.

[Windsrock]

Some pencil sketches and one oil-painting I'm working, based on one sketch you can find here.

[Windsrock]

Using photo this time... should do so more often perhaps :/

[Windsrock]

It's been a while...

sorry about the bad picture quality.

Oh, I bought Wacom Bamboo and now I just have to learn to use it :steph:

[Windsrock]

So long time from the last update...
Heres pencil sketch of Baba Yaga.

[Windsrock]

Thanks!
What do you mean mn?
I know my tractor need more details and it's quite cartoony :) And mostly I wanted to recall my vector skills :D

[Windsrock]

Paintover

[adammelo]

Very different stuff youve got here, i like what your doing with the paintover, the child without hair is funny looking lol, thought it was golem at first lol, keep up the good work!


Sketch back if u'd Like..

[Windsrock]

thanks for your comments adammelo :) paintover is still in progress, so that kid will get hair latter I hope ;)

[Meralynn]

Nice sketchbook. Now, the thing I noticed right away was that the image where you used the photo reference, everything was a lot stronger!! You also shouldn't be afraid to use photo reference for backgrounds. Now, one thing I can suggest about reference, though, is to use ones that have slightly more natural feeling poses. If I hadn't seen the photograph, I wouldn't believe someone could be posed like that (I'm still having a hard time figuring out how she got that photo).

Don't be afraid to slow down and take your time making observations. At this point, you have the ideas down, I think it's the technical side you need to work on. Concentrate on drawing from life, or drawing from anatomy books in order to strengthen your anatomy skill. And keep drawing!

[Windsrock]

Thanks for your comments Meralynn :) you are absolutely right and I have planned to do some anatomy studies. I just got to grapp my neck and star to work :lifedrawing:

Here's update to overpaint, don't know if I will continue it after this.

[Windsrock]

That oilpainting is still in progress. And another pencildrawing.

[pantless_wanderer]

You're doing some great stuff, trying different things, and that's very good (experience is the best teacher), but don't forget to do some "boring" studies once in a while (you know, anatomy, gesture, form, still-lifes...) to sharpen those skills of yours.

Keep up! :)

[Windsrock]

Thank you pantless wanderer. I try not to forget those studies.

[markybritz090]

I like that..

stupid apple

[RedSquirrel]

Nice apple ;p I like Baba Yaga too. Agree with pantless, plenty of still life studies and use as much reference as possible, all the practise will help your images become more believable.

[Windsrock]

Yeah I know :/ but I don't have time to draw 'cos I have to be here to see what others have done :P

[Sadetar]

Hello darling, you have really strong own style and that's of course marvellous. I especially like the woman after the pony picture. I love the hair and all, it's awesome.

Yeah I know :/ but I don't have time to draw 'cos I have to be here to see what others have done :P
Hahah. I use the same excuse. :)

[Windsrock]

Work in progress with watercolour. Again not sure where to stop :oneye:

[Windsrock]

[Windsrock]

on and on

[Windsrock]

Just something...

[Windsrock]

studied a citrus

I also did first a pencil drawing of it, but don't have it in digital form yet. So I'll post it later.

[Windsrock]

Finaly one inspired moment with this one. Now waiting the paint dry and another inspirational mood.

[Diarum]

lol that baby from post 17 was kinda creepy. I can see the improvement just from these posts. Nothing really I can tell you that you probably don't already know. keep on doing it and you'll get even better and better.

[Windsrock]

:D Thanks Diarum for visiting and leaving a comment. That's actualy me and my niece. I know it looks a little creapy but it's a wip as you can see.

Here's something I'm trying to finnish in near future. Not using any reference. Yep, it's stupid. Should've take a photo for the upper body. I've been strugling with her left hand.

[Windsrock]

Started chow for a while; Kitsune. I hope I'll finish in time.

[Linguini]

Hey, nice to see you posting more in your sb again! The fox piece is looking interesting, good luck! I would love to see some more of your pencil studies. :)

[Windsrock]

Hey, thanks Linguini :D Yeah, I like how it's turning out. Have to continue tomorrow, cos now I 'm so tired that I don't see clearly anymore. Pencil studies... hmmm, should do more of those. I'm lazy scanner, but I'll try :)

I'm not sure about the background. Have to think about it tomorrow :/

[Windsrock]

Study from a photo 1-2 hours. Just for practice.

[Windsrock]

Wow foud link to this Scribbler (http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/scribblertoo/) on Linguinis sketchbook. SUPER FUN!

[Linguini]

Cool, glad you find Scribbler as awesome as I do!

I hope you find more time to post in your sb! I certainly am terrible at keeping up with mine, but I'll be a bit of a hypocrite and bother you to do so! :D Have a great day!

[Windsrock]

Thanks for stopping by Linguini. I really have to start drawing again regularly. Haven't had the time and it feels now like I can't hold the pen in my hand correctly. But there's now way to give up ;) So I do something right away...

[Windsrock]

Here's D&D pinup for Artorder challenge and wip for discover a muse challenge for charity. Something retro :D

[Windsrock]

Still life study wips

[Windsrock]

I consider this still-life study done now :oneye:

[Windsrock]

Just something to update my space, sorry for the bad photo :assspank:
I try to post some figure drawing picks latter.

[Windsrock]

Here's two life studies from last year.
