Kicek´s book

[Kicek]

:yayca:

[Badger]

Good stuff mate.
I like the range of work you got here.
My fav is that brown cityscape, a lot of emotion and atmosphere there. But i'm an enviro so hey :D
First sketchbook page needs a bit more line variance to be easily readable, but hey it's your sketchbook, it's there for you and you only.
Nice sublety of tone in the ref.
Just watch the anatomy, look at loomis, get too know your underlying structure on the body.
Keep on art'ing
-B-

[geki]

Pretty nice work here, good sketches and studies, I'll be stalking you :]

[mitch]

WOW. that pic of the woman you did is awesome. you sould clean up a few spots on the hair but other than that it is really good. i look forward to seeing more of your work.

[gmags]

Nice enviros dude. Nice colors also. Keep postin. :teeth:

[Lianna]

Your environments are so impressive! Kudos!

[SprayNation]

Great work. I agree, your envirenments are solid. Your loose brushwork attributes to the mood. Great stuff.

[Olof]

Heya, welcome to ca (yeh, it wasn't that long ago ;) ) and great to see a sketchbook!

Gotta say your "pretty lame unfinished enviros" are my favs here, I think they look great ! Have you worked with digitals for long? (asking because of the 'wacom' piece)

You better keep this upated :)

.hugs

[JanvanYorck]

hy strize,

Here is your fan from the "yorckstudios". After you really opened up a sketchbook (iam really proud) i first have to give you some kritik and after this i am forced to open up an own sketchbook (i didn´t want to be a couchpotato). Your works are still great. I think you really can handle with light and shadow and your knowledge about enviroments grows continualy.
The color and the clothes of your charakters are very lively especially the one you´ve made with the vacom. I think now you could spend more time to some details. Make the figurs get alive with some associations in order that the viewer has fun to imagine what kind of person he is seeing.
The vacom sketches are really on the right way to fascinate the viewer with their naturalistic appearance and their inner flair wich chiefly comes through the light.
altogether i wanna to say that i like your fast and secure stroke.
My favorite picture is the one with the hot lady. She`s so sweet and looks like she needs somebody.
Go on with this real shit, you showed me ones more that only constant actions bring you further.
See you later in the kitchen!

[JanvanYorck]

woh, good anatomie, I have to hurry up.
I see, "Work pays"!

Go on, but I`ll get you.

JvY

[guggemmaneuver]

kicek,
you've got a great set of images already going here... very impressive environments and your speedpaints are looking so nice. I like that you've got both a good feel for how light works (like in the brown street scene that's so nice) and for very nice line work.

here's a crit for the self portraits you are doing...
http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/6181/n230ms.jpg looks alright, but i'd stay away from putting that much value / lines around the lips until everything else is pretty much rendered: as is, it looks kind of girlish. try to think of the head in 3d shapes, the mouth being kind of a roundish muzzle with the lips and chin as three dimensional parts of.

gorgeous work here.... hope to see you post more!!!

[DazWatford]

Oh my God!!

My jaw dropped at your "pretty lame unfinished enviros" excuse me while I seethe with jealousy.

Good skills Dude (expect the e-mail harassing you for tips ;) )

[SirGreenSock]

Man, really sweet sketchbook. A lot of variety, youre strong in a lot of areas.

Crit-wise I'd say you could push value further in your pencil work to create more depth

[Cup of Joe]

Awesome sketchbook Kicek! Sweet enviros, good faces and anatomy studies, great variety, and I love the sketchbook pages. For some reason I absolutely love things where so much is just crammed into each page. Looking forward to More!

[mentler]

Doing a fine job here <> hard work is paying off <> keep workin' the bones <> work your line quality

[Master 25 Days]

very nice environments dude. Anatomy has already shown improvement from the first post to the last. Someone already said to push your values more in your sketches and I agree. I noticed For you environments, you can try seperating the layers (fore/mid/background) more. Wish I can crit more but I'm still learning myself!

[Immortal]

I love your environments. Just amazing. I'd really like to see some environments that are...sharper...more refined I guess soemthing like in post#9, the city with the floating eggs...sorry idk what else to call it. I'd like to see more of that. And I also notice that a lot of your environments are red and black, I bet you could dazzle us with some new colors eh? eh?

I really do like your anatomy studies too. I love making figures, although I really don't know how my anatomy compares hehe. I wish I could tell you something critical but I cant cuz well bluntly your better than me lol.

Awaiting those sweet updates :D

[Orozc0]

amazing studies bro!

[Recursive_End]

Really nice pages !!
Those unref anatmy pages are great. I dont know if its done on purpose, but i really how they look like. It reminds me of the devils advocate (with Al pacino).
The last pages look great also, but it seems you did pencils first then overlined with a pen.. ? just want to know, cause im doing some errors and i wanted to see if im the only one doing pencils before :P
Anyway, your doing some cool stuff, so keep posting.

[voraz]

Very interesting sketchbook. Your pencil lines are really nice.
Fil

[Tigermilk]

very cool style Kicek, the lines are clean and nice.
The last batch of digitals was awesome too.
Keep the studying up, oh and keep us updated. ,)

[manujoao]

Guad gemacht dude :D ,some impressive works goin on here!Especially like your catalog chicks,they're showing confidence with the lines.BTW I'm doin also this sort of stuff but from Sport Schuster's catalogue.They have mainly shitty clothes but nice arses(yeah I know am sexist :P ).Cheers,
manu

[ArcoNL]

Great sketchbook, very nice drawings...

[Grom]

Excellent work here. I really like your line work as well as your color.
Only thing I can really offer is perhaps using diferent line weights as well as differnet textures to help pull a few things into the front/push them back. Your work already has a great sense of space, but it might help... just my 2 cents.

[Dose206]

wow, excellent stuff. one crit, it seems to me that when you are drawing faces from life, you seem to squish the features all into the middle of the face, like they're mushed a bit. I dunno, maybe that's what those people really looked like, i can't say. but your enviros are spot on (improvement there since the beginning of the sb) and you sure do like those catalog chicks huh? good idea, i think i'm gonna try that now. keep it up

[Grom]

The main one I was looking at was the first one from the 8th of March post, seemed a bit flat. Just needs a little line weight in the foreground to put things into space. Overall I think your spot-on, espcially in your thumbs, just little nit picky stuff.
I really like the 2nd and the last one of the newest post!

[crimsoneye]

I really amazing this in here. Your life studies are really good though. I really try do more life studies though. Good stuff.

[mentler]

Thanks <> Rubens is was a dude!

Doing good works here >< great things will come

[Sopor+Aeternus]

wow, love those enviroments thingies you make. see a lot of progress too..
a trying to draw a daily portret too? I m trying to do that.. but shamefully I dont even succeed at drawing daily *shakes head*.. but bla.. I ll help you grow :) about the picture , think you overshaded her mouth too much (the part on her chin) so that it seems like she has a very strange mouth, and maybee overdid the eyebrows a bit? dont know.. anyways.. good work.. keep it rolling

[Ashrumm]

Help you grow you say??? Man you are doing fine to me!?!? I just want to comment on your environments they are freakin awesome man i mean awesome who is this dallas cat and what kind of tutorials is he offering?? I want to learn. Great job here man you figurative stuff is awesome as well. Keep up the good work here. I'll definitely be back good work.:^^:

Hey Kicek!
Came here to say thanks for saying nice words on my sb, but after seeing those figures i want to say thanks for sharing those!!
very good work, how much time did it took you to do them ?

[DannySketch]

this mofo should be rated surely? really inspiring stuff bro, wish i could help out more but all i can offer is a gentle ass pat, keep this thing updated!im greedy!!

peace

[rodrigo!]

these are some solid gestures...jeez pen can be hard sometimes i think, do you do these often without liften your pen off the page?
and nah, they were lucky, lol, their 1st goal was from taking out our keeper :P in the end our fitness dominated and we pushed home some mad goals in the end :D

[redehlert]

Hey Kicek!
First - thanks for visitin' my SB thread. Means a lot to me!
Second - your figures are wonderful! Loose and inviting gestures with good visual flow. Juxtaposing these with your even more loose enviros is a treat and really shows the breadth of your ability!
Lookin' forward to a lot more from you.

Cheers!
D

[redehlert]

i am diggin' on those marker gestures - so loose, and yet so telling! great job!

[Alexandr Pascenko]

he u very good with female faces, i especially like those at post 27..

[t.m0]

Hey kicek

[Omi-kun]

[Tigermilk]

hey Kicek, how's it going, man?
I love the posts in #82, you're totally having control of those lines.

[Alexandr Pascenko]

hey great new sketches , the 82# houses are very expressive, also your new gestures.
if you do black and white work like 89 with the women ( the first two ones got some too big heads) i like that style the most :).

Thanks for sharing and the comment in my sb =)

[Gryphon]

I love the palette in that last enviro, but I think the perspective might be off on the waterfalls... I might be wrong, though.

I really like the pen scribbles from 10/6. Nice costume design!

[oma]

nice study s, that last enviro... rocks.
i really like it a lot.

[blacky]

Oha, da hat sich einer aber gesteigert. Vor allem die letzten sind spitze. Magdie tiefenwirkung in den enviros und die atmospherenwirkung.

Hi Kicek, The environs in #165 is absolutely gorgeous! The depth to the piece and the atmosphere ......NIIICE!

Theres some fucking impressive stuff going on in this book, the work ethics impressive. 88 thumb thats pretty intense, very nice stuff happening in your digitals at the moment. Good work can't wait to see more.

[bupaje]

Beautiful work. I particularly love the various cityscapes. Lot's of atmosphere and depth.

[DanielC]

Very nice !!
Though on the last one. i think you can add some brighter values from the green lights on the freground...unless it's meant to be that way.
Keep posting !!

[Jtho]

I love your pencil and inked figures, and your enviro speedpainds, the last two green ones are especially beautiful.

[ArtZealot]

yeah those 88 thumbnails are crazy. how long did that take you?

[Brendan N]

Awesome stuff going on here,
these last two are stunning,
the studies are looking very good and thorough to say the least
and the 88 thumbs is fucking impressive.

Now let's see if we can fix that rating,
need to stop round here more

[Funny_Jedi]

Excellent paintings, you seem to have a good handle on values and colour (basically the same thing because with one comes the other xD)

One thing i'd like to see more is some more dynamic poses. Alot of the people you have painted have nice a nice rhythm to them, but they look frozen in time. Not as if we are truly seeing them? Do you get what i mean? blah hope i didnt lose you.

Anyways, overall your top notch and your stars show it:)

[Antobro]

love your work! keep it up

[Niva.]

Well, this book deserves the 5 star rating, I'll add to it. I love the last batch of works but I'm wondering what's going on in that last one? Did that guy take a quiver of arrows in the mouf? Also from the last batch I love how you've brought out the details in the armor of those guys even though they're almost all just a black stroke, tricks the mind into imagining the rest.

Earlier there's a drawing with a light saber which isn't working for me, something with the angle and the arm proporotions.

[j a k e]

Seems like you get an amazing amount of compliment already but I'll just add to the pile. Heh, Great stuff mate.

[Lox down under]

hey, i got nuffin on this site at the moment,
i luv your brush work! how long did it take for you
to finish that portrait of the chick?

[Aslev]

i really, really like the girl sketch on the top of this page, it has such a nice mood to it! your thumbs are really cool as well, strong variation in them.

only crit i would have is that i would like to see bigger paintings of your enviros, it can really make a different impact when viewing something in a larger scale sometimes.

[mrgrumble]

damn this stuff is juicy! new facorite thread right here mate! and consider a pm for cs3 sent man!!

Third one's my fav, the mood and expression of the character are unusual.

Mm so nice stuff, I'm so jelaous. This sb is a big inspiration! I will keep looking here

[Jabo]

Drooling non-stop over your art man, the latest update is so cool, very crisp and love the creativity put into the graphical elements. The rabbit-guy is my favourite, his pose and gaze are so funny. Hope to see some paper-stuff!

[GriNGo]

woah, great stuff you got here man! keep it up. this sb was a nice find.

[aph]

Very tight mate. Glad to see your updating again =)

Wish I was sitting opposite you at work haha, then I really would learn something! Moreeeee updates, you know we love it.

[mrgrumble]

holy tamales! fantastic studies. i suppose chiaroscuro/contraluce studies are the best way to do grayscale, a really nice range of rich values. :)
now just imagine if caravaggio had acrylic+soft water blender in Painter X....... :D

[Konstruktion]

Saweet update man. I really should do them studies, I guess you train ps skills as well as anatomy skills that way?...

i love especially the last two creatures and th use of colors , the style. dunno if i already voted here , but get my high 5 man.

[Jabo]

Chris, it's love all the way from the first to the last one. The robot-scape has some nice values and a moody palette. Like the blue-headed guy too, but the flow in the last one is too great. Post the panzer-inks you had lying around, they are awesome!

[Alex Alexandrov]

wow wow Kicek the last ones are great man really nice great job 5 stars

[catface]

Your stuff is awesome Kicek. Very inspiring. I need to practice! This last post has awesome lighting and texture. Perfect pics without going into a ton of detail, really nice. I'll be watching this thread. :)

[VanDog]

oh ho ho it is realy nice sketches!colors are cool!keep posting!:^^:

[strybjorn]

loving this sketchbook - having had a look back over the past 10 pages since you started your sketchbook i have to say the improvement is remarkable

proof if proof were needed that sketchbooks work! very accomplished colours and lovely loose lines.

the master studies are especially nice - did you find them a very useful exercise? i've seen quite a few people attempt them but im curious whether they are more or less valuable to the artist than live figure studies... what would you say you learnt most from them?

[codenothing]

WOOOT!!! realy awsome work here! I drool. :drool:

sooooooooooo man. last two posts are killing me. love the techniques like the brush handling, edges and surface quality and shit but the colours, shapes, mood of things like this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=186513&stc=1&d=1187266911), this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=209598&stc=1&d=1190983549) (the lighting on this guy is terrific), this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=209600&stc=1&d=1190983573) and this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=209601&stc=1&d=1190983582) is really just straight up my alley.. great new work man.

[Jabo]

Wazzup dude? Hab mich n paar mal bei dir gemeldet, du antwortest nicht. Keine Zeit? Geht's dir gut? Oder hat dich die Vogelgrippe niedergestreckt?

Draußen sitzen ist ja jetzt nicht mehr, is ja plötzlich Winter geworden. Lass einfach mal irgendwann abends in ne Bar mit Blick nach draußen. Spital oder Coyote oder so. Was, wo viel Platz is. Holste dann auch tec und wir können mal ein bisschen sketchen.

[George Bieber]

Great SB! Your enviros and cityviews are CRAZY good. I like the Good, Bad & ugly stuff too.
Thanks

[lema]

hey chris, was los?
i am waiting for an update...

[MeTaL-Mike]

awesome

[jenzi]

I really like how you did the rain like long silver threads, it looks both like one hell of a weather and it also looks beautiful! nice paintg man!!! although the guy could use some more love, not too much though. overall I like the hazy and numbing feel its got right now. see you chris

[Jabo]

Was'n hier los. Kein Bock mehr oder was? :D

[Peter Berkovski]

what can I say, just WoOooOOOWw, i love the last pieces,keep em coming!

[windlee]

Very good work! Scene design has a great sense of color, and the use of brushes very skilful and experienced, and images is very rich, I just love them.
In particular you want to learn this style works, I hope you will become very well-known artists!

[Kvick]

G-damn, your colors and values are spot on. I haven't had so much time to paint but this makes me reconsider my schedule to fit in more painting study time :X.

[catface]

kicek- wow.. you suck!


haha.

Damn you are a liar. You said you weren't going to update untill next year :P


I'd like to see you spend more time on your studies and render them more. I've also noticed you are avoiding drawing faces on your characters, wuts up with that?

I really love your gestures doods3.jpg is awesome, expcept they need faces:P.

More please.

[Noë]

Wow man,
I've been following this sketchbook for a while, mainly because of the awesome delicious enviro's I've seen in here.. Very nice ^^ :asspat:

Anyways, I'll try to say something constructive as well in this post:
- In this image (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=262186&stc=1&d=1198022442) I really like the sketchy lines, describing the forms, but watch those proportions! Especially the guy on the right looks a little wonky with his legs and arms, also the feet might be a bit too small on the two on his left, but anyways that's just nitpicking.. I like the creativity you show in these.
- In this image (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=241698&stc=1&d=1195343542) I love love love the atmosphere you create.. Only nitpick I found is that I'd like the rain to be a little less stripey, I think lowering the opacity of the rain would do it already tho. Some higlights on the rain might help for the wet effect of it, but I'm just blabbering away here, never tried that..
- And in this ont (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=262184&stc=1&d=1198022395), I'd like the right and lower part to be slightly more worked out, I just have no idea what's going on there. But anyways, it was a quicky and you probably focussed on the figure :lineart:. Nice colours!

So.. That was my try to find crits ^^ :steph: :mittenbop:
Love, and a merry christmas (although it's the last day) :scribble:
Marleen.
