Burnie's Sketchbook

[Burnie]

Hi, my name is Björn, I'm 20 years old. I'm from Sweden, the land of blonde babes. I've been drawing my whole life in periods and discovered digital art about a year ago. I'm currently studying the first year as a game artist. I'm using a Wacom and Photoshop CS3.
Artwise, I'm really into to simplyfying and I want to learn speedpainting directly using colors, without doing grayscale first. The reason is probably my short attention span and also if I succeed I will benefit from it. I know there are certain advantages of doing grayscale first, I'm not abandoning the idea.

I've recently decided to improve my art. I will upload everything that's related to studies and some personal stuff too. At the moment I'm doing a master study of Frazetta, and plan in doing so for a while. All critique and feedback are welcome.

Here are some posemaniacs 30 second drawings (struggling quite hard to catch the entire pose, looking at all the parts of the body at the same time etc.) and a frazetta study. (Rough works)

[Burnie]

Thanks a lot, man! :) That means a lot!

Here are the studies for today. Not my best day at all, seems that I lost the ability to draw... :( Also I spent less time.

Good SB! Love the Frazetta stuff.

Be sure to the do the Posemaniac 30s gestures every day for a good bit of time. It can be amazing what you pick up doing those.

Wow, everybody loves Frank Frazetta.

[Burnie]

@ Blondebeard: Yeah I guess so, I'll be happy if at least manage to do an entire pose for once :P
@ zerdron: Yeah he´s the king! :)

Moar 30 second figure drawings and some frazetta stuff.

Also I uploaded a personal piece I'm working on right now, it's not finished, and I used a photo reference for the girl. I'd love some feedback. :)

Today I did a bunch of 30 second drawings. No Frazettas today... :davi: I started playing Greed Corp on Xbox Live Arcade.. :P Cute robots competing for space.

Nice work, I like the studies you have done, never really looked a any Frazetta stuff so its nice to be introduced to a new artist, i think your girl in armour painting is coming along really well, although the anatomy seems alittle wierd, might just be my eyesight though, i think its something to do with how her left arm is attached to her body or how she looks quite thin, but in any case it still looks good.

Btw try to reduce the sizes of your pics as they would be more organised if been abit smaller next time :)

Hi guys, been away for a while, but now I've started to practice again.

Here are some landscape studies.
