Michel Koch's sketchbook (update 01/12)

[mime]

Hey everyone, I should have done this since .... since ages. I know I'll have issues to update this thread very often, but I'll try my best to do it.

You can see my illustration works in my CG thread in the finished section here :
my finished pictures thread (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1429288#post1429288)


I don't know where to start, I'll try to post here my life drawings, speed paintings, and general doodles and sketches.


Some life drawings (around 10 minuts each)

some random sketches, I'm trying to improve my character drawings. I have quite an easy time when drawing from life, but from imagination this is another thing ...

oh wow i love your style so far! i really like the wiggly lines you use to sketch everything

for some reason this one http://www.michelkoch.fr/files/speeds/speed_diva.jpg attracts my eye the most. im not that sure why.

[Coinpurse]

yessss... the wiggly lines...

Got two SB? cool stuff man, the more the better! :D

[Retronym]

Jesus, I cant wait for my next figure drawing class, those charcoal studies are badass man. I love the way you handle the broad tones, bravo.

[mime]

Hey thanks a lot everyone,

Coinpurse : the other thread is my finished work thread, where I put commissioned pieces and things where I spent a lot of time :p

Retronym : thanks, those life drawings are graphite, I am very clumsy with charcoal, always smudging where I don't want to and it is a bit too messy for my taste. For those I use a large graphite stick so I can use it to shade almost like charcoal.

I like the energy your life drawings have; it carries over into some of your digital sketches too, particularly the black and white one where the guy is smoking a cigarette. I think as you become more confident with creating characters, you'll see a lot more life in all of your stuff. Other than that, nice!

ok, I'm making some sort of necromancy on this thread, sorry for the extreme lack of update :/

I've been really busy the last 6 months with some video game concept art as well as RPG / CCG art (you can by the way look at my new finished works thread here : http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=143066 )

I didn't had the time to do that much sketching, but here are some speed paintings and sketches that might be interesting.
