[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Great stuff here mate. I love the enviros, You really have some good ones.

-E

[asiJa]

Oh, greate, you obviously understand light very well. I's quite common in painting from observation, but such live lightning in imaginative painting is really cool.

btw. Has these Mushrooms on the top of this thread anything common with Morrowind? I was impressed by originality of evirroment design in this game, and some of your poaintings remind me it.

[mushroomz]

hi evrybody !

Mischeviouslittleelf -> thanks !

asiJa- > Thank you , I appreciate :) No sorry , I never have played to morrowind by the past :(

So there my new stuff , I'm trying to learn more about the base like Anatomy , light , shapes etc , and by the way , trying to know who to draw with a pencil :D

Great stuff man :D, really love you're pencil studies, although some of them are a bit blurry. Also you're paintings could use some more lines to define the shapes i think. Keep going :p

Grts!

[mushroomz]

Thank you Fullmetaljacket :)

I want to improve my perception of environement and shapes , so I done some studies . I need to spend more time on it ...

[Luckers]

Whoa, M@'s brother. That's so much fun!
You are posting like a maniac, great to see you are so motivated. the studies you have done look very promising and intresting :)
At the start of your Sketchbook, some of your images showed low contrast, but that has already really improved. So just keep doing what you are doing, it seems to be working :)

Best of luck, and keep up the good work!

[mushroomz]

Luckers - >" You are posting like a maniac " if i wasn't that lazy I would post more : p thank you for your post , it motivated me !

I can't really offer any advice as you are obviously so much better that I am.

Keep it up!

Great studies, dude. And you're still young. If you keep this up, you'll be one beast of a painter some day.

creat a sensor game like kinect or wii , I had to make the visual of one person playing the game .


http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/741/pageassignement.jpg


-Then I wanted to learn more about tons of green and how to paint grass / trees etc , so I have made some painting about it .

-2 days ago I starded to paint outside with my laptop ,I stayed all day trying to catch the right tons of green / blue and yellow , but then when I brougth my screen on the shadow I realized that all my color values where messy and not exact because that I had the sun all day shyning on my screen . So I post them , but the colors are not really exact .

can't wait to see more :)

[Mila]

Nice sketchbook. I really like your early environments :] keep posting them.

[mushroomz]

timo -> thank you :D here is some more , I hope I will keep on posting , not like this summer :p

Mila - > thank you :)


I am now studying in Finland and I found my self more motivated to create and learn how to draw .
So I am going back to the very basics after had being messy with brush and speedpainting.
I ll try to work essentialy on the values , shapes and proportion .
For that I make studies of Charles Bargue drawing and try to be as accurate as I can to improve my skills.

So there is some studies I have made yesterday . I ll try to keep on posting.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/3548/bargue.jpg

[Yinari]

Your environments are simply awesome! Great job and keep them coming =P

[Fungus]

Absolutely amazing. I must admit, I was drawn here by your username... :P. I have nothing constructive, just want to tell you you should keep posting. ;)

[mushroomz]

Hi :D

Thank you :)

Im tryin the " custom shapes " technics by Sparth , tryin to understand it and see if I can learn / and go somewhere with it .

Just some random stuff and a study

[TFsean]

What can I say, love your environments, great texture and composition everytime. Your figure studies are very pleasing too, I just generally enjoy being in this sketchbook.

[neonndreams]

your environments are sweet, and i love the entire page full of sketch faces. your bargue studies are awesome, how long do you usually spend on them?? i love the enviroment with the tree roots sticking out of the ground, although in some of your enviroments i wish some of the shapes were a little more defined however. that just be my own preference. your sketchbook is amazing though, i love the variation in your studies.

[Toffers]

Saw this SB just now for the first time and I'm really positively surprised. you show a lot of skill, and I'm particularly drawn to the way you work with edges and brushes. It's like you put a new spin on something I've seen before. Thanks for the treat *subscribes to thread*

[mushroomz]

TFsean -> thank you a lot !

neonndreams -> I think 20-30 min maybe more I don't really count , I totally agree for the definition , I should spend more time on difining my shapes, thank you again !

Toffers -> hehe thank you a lot , I see more my way of using brush as a bad thing but if it looks cool , Im happy : p

Some solid and bold painting in this thread. You could go for some more consistency in your brushstrokes maybe. You know, less is more and things like that ...

[mushroomz]

Many pics I haven't seen before, but truly. Nice sense of colors and as I've said before quite a many times, I really like your style and how you use brushes.

Awesome sh*t and keep it coming, cheers mate!

[mushroomz]

Thank you mate, I can t waity to see your next update , I think that you have some good stuff in store : p

WOOO i'm so glad to see you draw again !!! :D

I'm sure this pause made you understand a lot of things, you look way more confident in your brushstrokes but also i have the feeling you have a better control of your values.

Keep pushing it :)
(really motivating stuff, now i have to draw ^^)

[Luckers]

I agree with Timo, its great to see you posting again. Since I last replied to your SB I havn't been very active myself, so I didn't notice you stopped posting.

But I hope to see more of your work, always a pleasure :)

[FUSHANDCHUPS]

solid envrionments man. keep it up

[mushroomz]

timo. - FUSHANDCHUPS : Thank you a lot guys : )

I am continuing in the same way of simplification of workflow and shape.
Now I am only using the line tool to put quickly the bigs shapes / proportion
and main value , and then I detail with the airbrush and selection tool . I like
this way of working , I am going to try it on different studies to see If I can go
somewhere with it , maybe create new custom brush with it and play more
with the color range for selection , I don't know yet , we'll see !

Now that's god damn sexy... so solid. ARG :D

[mushroomz]

dave117 - > thank you !

timo. -> thank you bro' , Im waiting for you next update , with you awesome new brushes :D


Still doing some study with the same technics , I have to do more , I feel liek there is so much potential behind it . Line tool is so cool .

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5yyCfUwHWMs/T0TqLeZeV8I/AAAAAAAAAFU/QVABJktidyA/s1600/etudepaysagefin.jpg

[mushroomz]

Here is a cool exercice my brother told me about , trying to capture the essentials of a study with only 15 brushe strokes .

No time limit , no ctrl z , just a limited amount of brush strokes .

It is really a good exercice , at least for me it makes me feel like I learn a lot more , because I am focusing on every action I make. So it fights against the digital habits that is " I can draw quick , undo , and put tones of layers ".
So less randomness , more control / accuracy.

Really cool , here is the one I have done today. More to come I hope. This is so fun.

Seriously this is just too good, really fun to do and so powerfull.
I guess this is only the begining :D can't wait to do more of these !!
good stuff!

[mushroomz]

Thank you timo , we really should make more indeed :D

I have done some architecture study , I try to do some of them as much as possible , here are two of them . I try to be as accurate as I can be , I have a lot of work to do on that, it's fun tho : D

And for once I have started to make an image that is not really speedish , it was for a contest about The Witcher and King , but I havn't manage to handle the deadline well , so I end up without a lot of details , but that's okay , I was more focusing on composition and good shapes , even though a lot of improvement could have been done in the perspective / architecture and the character design, I am pretty happy about the results for the first shot I gave to a more complexe picture than I usually do.
I really would like to make more of these , this is really funny to play with story telling and composition , I would like to spend more time on my drawings now.

Hey man!
First of all I'm really happy to see an illustration from you, since you haven't been doing any of those lately. Photostudies (studies in general) are of course really good, but there's a different kind of challenge in illustrations.
The composition, storytelling and such is something you have to practice also in addition to the technical side of things.

The shapes and colors in the Witcher picture are really cool, and the composition works as well. It was interesting to see that you spent a lot of time for the composition which is a really good thing to learn to do.
I wanna see more of these dude, with some more time spent on the details also. :)

Photostudies are looking good as usually and the 15 brushstrokes challenge is quite an interesting idea, probably will help you in the long run to be much more efficient. Keep it up mate!
