another paintings. I started to paint in photoshop in the end of feb 2009. Hope to get to reasonable results in about a year or two.

[ImaGEEnation]

Nice start dude! Can't wait to see more! I hope you'll post some pencil works and studies also! :D Oh, I think you meant to write 2008 instead of 2009? :p

[kabarsa]

Thank you soooo much! Sorry, I don't think that I can do studies, it's too cool for my limited skills, because every time I want to do something beautiful, but in the end it looks like studies :) No, I mean 2009. It started when my relatives made me a present graph tablet. For now it's just Genius G-Pen 560, but i used to it already ) I don't know, it's hard to make myself to use pencil now, when all i need to do is just open photoshop ;)

[kabarsa]

Another sketch

[kabarsa]

another one

[kabarsa]

I like sketching creatures. This was a 1,5h speedpaint.

[kabarsa]

Enviros is my weakest point of all. So I'll try to sketch enviros from now. Hope it'll help me to proceed in my painting.

[Icedearth15876]

The pieces in this sketchbook only need one word: WOW! These are great man, keep up the good work!

[kingkostas]

Hello mate and welcome to CA
Your works are telling that you have trained a lot of your artistic skills.Btw try using less black in shadows, because black makes it dull in the end.(if a warm light is hitting your object then its not that bad to use some black with low opacity or multiply,to make cold shadows,because black makes it a little colder)
Keep making them less rough with cleaner lines etc.
And i would like to see some pencil work as well :D

See ya

[kabarsa]

Icedearth15876 - Thank you
kingkostas - Thank you for your reply. I tryed 1.5 h speedpaint after thought about your shading guide. It's helpful to have at least one reply as yours. I'll draw with that in mind and hope to bring it a few steps further from my current paintings. I'm really grateful :)

[Khalo]

Your pieces are very creative and imaginative - something that I have found to be far more difficult to attain than simply being able to render something accurately. Your technical skills definitely need polishing and practice, but one day, you're going to be a fantastic artist. I'm absolutely sure of it.

[kabarsa]

Khalo - thank you for your compliment. I allways thought my painting were not so creative at all, because of a boring angles and low dynamics :(. There are many examples that inspire to work, work and work and push yourself to get better results. It's a secret, but I was soooo inspired by DA gallery of Marek Okon )) And now I believe that everything is possible )

Some monster sketch, and old pen/pencil sketches. Don't know about drawing with graphite now, since having a universal drawing tool like photoshop makes it easier to forget about pencil ;(

[kabarsa]

Another speedpaint. Wanted something dark.

[kabarsa]

Something strange. I need to use ref next time :(

[kabarsa]

1.5h speedpaint. Attempt to draw straight in color.

[carboncillo]

this dark paint ist very impressive! i like the lights and atmosphere.

[kabarsa]

carboncillo - thank you. I glad you liked it.
Another 1.5h speedpaint. Ended up almost monochrome in fact :(

[kabarsa]

3h speedpaint. Epic fail :(

[pauscorpi]

I agree with Khalo - you have a wonderful imagination , a good sense of story telling and good control over pencils. I think studies will definitely help you improve your skills ; study everything; the more , the better : perspective, anatomy , colour theory if you will , but I am sure that with studies you will be brilliant in no time :)

good luck :)

[kabarsa]

pauscorpi - thank you! I'll try to focus on all that things.

I like the piece with the monk with the conical hat around the grassy area, that must have taken a long time to paint that grass like that :)


Sketch back if you'd like ....

[kabarsa]

sketching straight in color for practice

[kabarsa]

Another sketch. Straight in color practice. And I liked soooo much to draw that way. For a long time, all the 6 months that I do digipainting, I tryed to find the way to draw that will be of the most usefulness to me. Looked so many times at leventes works, and than Andree Wallin's works, and Randis, Dylan Cole and all the monster-guys on the net. Always was king of lost looking at all the variety of drawing styles. I think that in half a year from now I'll finally find the most consistent for me to use. Ah.. bla bla bla. Kind of talking to myself. Need to sleep.

[kabarsa]

sketch. sleep

[kabarsa]

another quick sketch

[kabarsa]

learning to draw

[kabarsa]

Had some spare time at work today to make a pencil sketch

[kabarsa]

vampire lady

[kabarsa]

I did this for my friend Olga. Used her photo to populate the suit Today I actually decided not to go to work because of some bad feelings , so had some time to render something. Spent a lot of time, about 6 hours maybe. This is my personal record for now. No refs used, but I think that I should use some references next time.

[kabarsa]

Training in attempt to get better. Another failure, but will keep training.

[kabarsa]

struggle continues

[kabarsa]

fanart. practice

[kabarsa]

Few sketches

It was a good evening. I spent 5 hours just drawing and listening music. You can call it my fanart on Andree Wallin's works. I totally like his gallery on DA.

[kabarsa]

30 min ambassador sketch. sleeeeep.

[kabarsa]

Some guy speedpaint. 1,5h.

[north pole]

nice colours.. i like the piece at #64... try to work on ur pieces with little more time.. keep up .. (:

[kabarsa]

north pole - thank you! Maybe it sounds silly, but you feedback will keep me motivated for another 6 months =)

This is Goh-Goh portrait. Still simple, but I'll try to do something more dynamic next time.

[kabarsa]

Giftart for http://shwann.deviantart.com/

[kabarsa]

Slightly more than 3h speedpaint. Need to practice more and more

[kabarsa]

hijacking

[Janos]

The things you need to work at foremost are anatomy, and I would start loosing some colour for the beginning. Later on when you have anatomy and value pretty mcuh down colour will be important. For now more basics. It's nice to see so much stuff though.

[kabarsa]

Janos thanks. I'll try to push farther.

Some quick sketch of something.

[kabarsa]

Some giftart I made this evening

[jama]

Я смотрю, тут кто-то под шумок СА скетчбук себе завел))

отлично!
не останавливайся!

[kabarsa]

Спасибо большое! Твоя оценка безумно вдохновляет =) Постараюсь двигаться по возможности к светлому будущему =) *побежал рисовать*

[kabarsa]

Damn, I screwed up again, since started with one painting in mind, and finished with another, so it all look bad. Lighting completely out of synch with light sources, and all the damn stuff is bad. Next one will be better. Oh well =(

[kabarsa]

My mind blew up again after watching Andree Wallin. I was literally forced by the voices in my head to draw something, so it's like fanart.

[kabarsa]

One of my fav characters. He's looking not like the original, but I don't like to use refs so he ended up a little different.
Of course all you see belong to Blizzard.

[kabarsa]

few quick sketches

[kabarsa]

Some quick sketch of ultimate warrior. WAAAAGH!!!!

[kabarsa]

Developed a little last sketch. I loved these cuties =)

I like it very much.

Visit my sketchbook sometimes, it's not quality near yours, but I'd like you to visit it :)

[kabarsa]

Thank you very much! I'll visit your sketchbook and I hope to be able to generate some useful notes based on my own struggling =)

[kabarsa]

[kabarsa]

It's like "OMG, Alice?!"

[kabarsa]

[kabarsa]

[kabarsa]

[QueenWorm]

Wow!! You improve so fast!! I love the texture on the worm!! Hope you can give me some advices though I don't have much picture (harmful to eyes) on my new sketch book,,,

[kabarsa]

QueenWorm thank you! I'll visit you for sure ^_^ But I think that improve rate is too slow =( It could be better, I believe.
Another sketch. Hope to finish something someday 0_o

[kabarsa]

Some minor progress. It's time to sleep.

[kabarsa]

another wip

[kabarsa]

Finished Batman Arkham Asylum yesterday and finally I can continue with my painting =) BTW, the game is just sooo cool, game designers, artists, modelers, animators and all other guys made this UE3 driven (and it looks good great and runs ridiculously fast at 1920x1200) stuff very cinematic and fun. Just have to share my excitement with someone or something ^_^

[kabarsa]

My second W40k fan art (I suppose 0_o). About 10 hrs in total. I made this with help of good music ^_^

DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!!!

[kabarsa]

[kabarsa]

Some minor progress. Just finished watching FF7 AC Complete, and it's not that really motivating in case of cityscapes =)

[kabarsa]

Cool! Adopted few little sisters and killed the big one =) And some minor progress again.

[Asterisks]

Sweet work you've got going on here!
Some pretty imaginative stuff. Keep this going, you're improving wicked fast!
