Beedos Sketchbook

[Beedo]

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new here, signed up about a week ago. I thought I would start a sketchbook to help improve my 2D work which has taken a back seat for a few years. I've done a bit here and there but for the most part it has been minimal and as a result has suffered a bit. So, hopefully this will push me to keep at it with some feedback improve throughout. My influences vary so my work will too, I will also try and keep constant with the updates, hoping to get something up every second day or so.

Thanks everyone

I love landscape work, traditional, digital, photographic, it's all good, so these were all done in fairly quick succession over the past couple of weeks, but need a few critical eyes over them to help me progress

Welcome to CA.
Really nice painings, I watched them through many times. Some minor issues with light direction (highlights, cast shadows and reflections), but since these are not supposed to be photorealistic, I´d say really great work there. Actually these inspire me to throw away custom brushes for a while and practise my painting skills just with basic brushes.
Thanks, and keep it up.

The last two are my favourite. I guess i have a thing for rays of light shining through trees.

Thanks for the welcome Tmza and the few comments that you made, every little bit helps, and those are things that I will hope to become more aware of the further along I get. As for the customs I'm the opposite, will have to get into them more lol, but as for now the basics give me a chance to concentrate more on what you have mentioned and to not get too precious and try to pretty them up as much.

Wow, beautiful landscapes, very inspiring! I really like the last two, like Jeff I must have something for the light. :D
Please post more!

[Beedo]

Hey Jeff and Elz, thanks for that, I thought I would try something different with the lighting and effects to see what I could come up with, they did turn out better than the others, so now will just have to try and progress from there.

Here are a couple of updates, the Alien head is new, but the other I did a while ago, thought I'd post it up anyway. I am working on a few others so should have them up shortly

A couple o quick images I did today, Louis is a play on Louis Cyphre (Lucifer, like the Robert De Niro character) and Potbelly is a play on beer gut and the potbelly stove, with a hint of the potbelly pig thrown in for good measure
