Sketches & Stuff! Updates daily for a while! :)

[asoir]

ahh, crap. you're progressing stupidly fast.
*off to draw*

[gmc9987]

Hello.

Thanks for stopping in on my sketchbook. I realize it was about a month ago, but I did appreciate it.

You've got some really awesome stuff going on here. The painting at the beginning is pretty nice. Is it finished? A work in progress? a study for another piece? If you have any more of that guy, I'd love to see it. I really enjoy the sketchy look of the painting, I just had no idea whether it was finished or not.

That robot is pretty awesome. I love the impact of the bullet and the damage it's done, and the pose is awesome. The only critique I have is that the tube going from the arm to the torso doesn't look as foreshortened as it should if the tube is coming off perpendicular to the arm piece.

Awesome stuff, I'll see you around.

[Qxzi]

Hey Dile,

nice progression here dude, like everyone esle keeps saying. Nice digi paintings and drawings, i like that robot. But i wanna see more!!!!! If you can :) Well, keep it up, nice progression!

Qxzi

[Dile_]

drd, thanks! I locked them.

markey2D : thank you for looking at my stuff!

lol asoir you don't mean that.. I hope you were drawing anyways ; ) stop being lazy! ( opps I soo didn't say that thinking of all my tiny shit updates :dead: )

Gmc, thanks a lot for looking! And i so agree, it looks bit to flat : S

Thanks for point that out !:)

Qxzi ; thanks man!

Heres the only thing I did this night which i'm allowed to show :S

I promise that next update will be a 20 page one.. :) ( thats not a good thing is it ?! :S )

PS. I'm so damn tired of white paper lately :S it just hurt my eyes and makes my head so empty :/

[ATAnderson]

The robot getting shot is really cool and graphical, the negative space around the typo makes it look like a cover or poster. Would look cool as a sharp vector graphic also.

It's great to see folk work as hard as you and see your results, I envy the time you spend on your training.

[liam.c]

Very nice, see you've started yet another sketchbook Dile. I pretty much missed out on most of books two and three but the improvement of this one over book 1 is very clear. Keep up the good work.

[Infinit]

[Dile_]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Heres some shit... most been done in dark museums or in a dark car... what a lame excuse for shitty drawings...

[DanielC]

Nice works dile !!!
Keep working with the pencil alot so you can get more confortable with the values asap.

[drd]

Nice job on those ps ones in the last update, I especially like the way you handled the metal in the robot.

[pencil1]

hey dile ;D,
i have been searching for yours sb ;).
lots of awesome stuff here :). on the last post i especially love the rendering on the last robot !!, would be awesome if you finished it :).

~pencil

[Miles_]

Seriously, some of your stuff is so imprssive. Really inspiring to see how far you have come from around this time last year.

Your sketchbok is going in my siggy whether you like it or not haha.

Speak to you more on msn, Miles.

[Kresh]

Really nice dile really nice, But if you don't finish those latest pencil renderings or render them more i'm going to have to break your fingers

[Sickbrush]

They look really good though... no need for excuses!

I really like the robot and the guy with the dead people IV...

[m0uS3r]

[ShiroNami]

[Miles_]

Yee, update! update!

[Justin.]

please keep up the digi... it's turning out great Dennis, just keep going!!!

[Darktwin]

Hey whats going on Dile, I'm home visiting the parents, thats why I haven't been around. your latest drawings are looking really good. Your starting to draw the entire figure, very nice. I will have to agree with Kresh, if you don't finish that last figure, I'm going to have to help Kresh break your fingers. Seriously though, your drawings are looking much better I see you've been busy working hard. Keep up the great work man!! I'll look for you online here in the near future. Keep the pencil moving bro!!

[Cup of Joe]

That last update looks nice! I seem to see a bit of DanC/Wes in the figure, hm? Good job on that rendering, though I'd like to see more fully rendered pencil pieces, not just a lot of 50% done ones. Oh, and kudos for cleaning up your digis, I'm interested as to where this one leads!
Keep it up man!

[Dile_]

Oh god :S I just typed up replies for the whole thread :/ and hit refresh by accident :S damnnn


anyways.. some sketches...
blah they suck I know... ignore the paint chat once :/ oh shit, i'm been drawing for 1.5 years and I still can't draw hands :/

[Miles_]

Whoa I love that woman with the two swords, very nice haha. But seriously its a cool concept you should finish it off :D.

[Razorb]

[Alexandr Pascenko]

yo dile nice sketchbook you go there , but naming you stuff i only hear , suck suck shit , suck shit.. you should have fun with those even if a drawing looks like shit but i can sai he i had fun with that it pleases you to continue .
the main problem i see here is you don´t finish anything although there are plenty of works you should be finished also to get away of the 3 stars joke here. i felt in love with this one , even it´s refed abit ( isn´t it ?:P )
i can only tell you to finish it with joy , keep your lines looose and have fun with it , could be a naaaice portofolio piece! i thought i´d help you out a little , so i posted some overpaints if you don´t mind . hope this can help.

anyways keep it up, it is always inspiring to see your work!
-Taylor

ps-check my Sketch book in the link in my sig. everyone

[Miles_]

Yeah, are we to expect a big update from you soon Dile.

[Kronos]

hey man, good stuff, i think goblinshark pretty much said it, thats a nice sketch and it would be VERY nice if you took it further. do some hand studies, you do avoid them a lot. but most of all, don't get negative on what your doing, enjoy it and let what happens happen, your not here to impress anyone, we know you are learning, as is everyone else on this site, even the pros.
Go Dennis GO!

[Coinpurse]

one day you'll be kicking my ass, for today... keep studying :P

C u on yim! keep at it~

[N1ck]

hey :)
the concept of the woman is really nice. Finish it!! The drawing of the streetscene is also cool.

So keep on, you and your works really don't suck ;)

-Nick

[Dile_]

Thanks for the comments everyone! Thanks a lot for the effort Goblinshark! I appreciate that!

heres some stuff from today.

edit* image in next post.

[Dished]

heya!

dude nice moleskin stuff :) good on filling the whole page or at least most of it. Kinda looks cool that way. That old man looks cool!

[Darktwin]

Hey Dile, Nice update bro, like I said to you in over IM, your line is more confident, keep drawing man, its paying off. The anatomy studies are paying off, thats for sure. I want to see a page of feet studies from you though, looks like your avoiding the feet a little bit, :P.

[Dile_]

thanks dished and darktwin! I'll draw some feets under the day! thanks for the tip man.

something happend to my host.. I'll try to show it with photobucket.. Not sure if the size is correct, but whatever.. now it will stay hehe.

TTy online, cheers bro! keep it up~
Mickey

[jedininjaman]

You have some nice creative sketches here man, the anatomy is realistic and you have some nice poses, but man you should really try to finish some stuff...:)
It looks good though
oh and when you get the chance I have updated my SB a few times since you have seen it and I tried a digital painting too : /
but ya keep it up man
-jedininja :)

[m0uS3r]

hei there friend i see you start to go beter and beter at PS keep hoing and thanks for the post :D hope to c ya soon there

[N1ck]

heya, nice new sketches. the poses are really cool and i like the strokes that seem to be unprecise but are at the second look quite precise.
Your chars sketches are nice, but i think it would be intersting to see some expressions on some faces.

keep working hard, you rock :)

[Infinit]

hey there pal I got no idea how to discriminate against your drawing skills today (too tired)
but I did something for you :D

your latest colour works are rly fit! (the bald dude with no feet)

[kinnas]

while there's still a while to go with your anatomy, I like the certain tastefulness that you handle your values with, taking use of simplified white areas, not over-rendering and selecting only a couple of dark spots

[liam.c]

first off .. your 15 man ? wtf lol looking really damn good .. tons of flavor gaining skills by the day and all great stuff ! your gnan be a superstar ! ... ,,,, keep goign man dont stop !

[Ashrumm]

Hey whats up Dile, its been way too long man i can see you've been moving that pencil great work man keep it up!! Looking good!! Like Darktwin stated, I can also see your confidence building good work.

[dannE-B]

**Steals Diles Pencils** ....lets see you draw noW!! muhaha...no i wouldnt do that, but i will comment on your pencils..the pencil drawings that is, I see them growing in confidence in certain pictures...then not so in others. However i think your work will naturally improve with age...i think this is something you just have to wait to happen. Keep on with the work...

[ciots]

hey man, keep the excellent progress is all i'm going to say.
your stuff is one of the main things that has gotten me drawing more, thanks for it!

[Ahim]

i feel free to comment

your updates are nicer and nicer, oh i wish there were more, oh i do, i really do

[Wake101]

Sup Dile, Awsome as always dude. I wanna know what sorta pills you take to be so damn good. I absolutely love the skeleton on the top of page one dude.

Keep on going man, later.

[Dile_]

Boom: Thanks mate! Glad to see you , nice chatting to you as well! hehe

Jedininjaman : hehe there you are! Thanks for stepping by my ethusiastic friend ; )

m0uS3r : Hey mate, thanks for looking!

N1ck: Thanks a lot!

Infint : Nice over paint! I like it! I don't like the belly though :E neither did I on the "original" one.
hehe

kinnas : thanks a lot!

Liam.C haha wow ! thanks man! I need to work hard though :E

Ashrumm!!! Hi man! thanks for looking! Glad you think i'm improving ! :D

Prophet: haha ; ) thanks man! yeah I hope to get better as years come ; )

Ciots: haha, aww man! Your to kind haha, thank you!

Miguelslo: Yo! Thanks dude for your comment!

Wake101 : I saw you started a new sketchbook, really nice.. I think my comment was pretty negative though :E haha, I forgot
all about the improvement and such, because you really have improved tons haha. Thanks for looking by!


And heres two sketches.. I can't show much haha, I got NDA :E
I must have turned off my brain while working on that character.. the proportions.. what can i say ? retarded ?

[Fuse06]

Awesome. The only comment I was gonna make was what you already stated.

The City, I'm guessing thats what it is, is a Little confusing, but I like it none the less. Good job.

[Ahim]

haha retarded, with his mask, looks like he escaped from a mental institution

[retmia]

Ahah, that was the Sketchbook I told you I visited, and It wasn't called "Dennis" actually, but "Dile". Ahah I'm so lame.
But anyhow keep on you good work sweet-precocious-heart. ;D

[Costau D]

Hey man sorry I havent replied in so long. I actually havent looked through your stuff in quite a while.

Your faces have shown much improvement. One thing about them though is you seem to use the same formulae for them so they all pretty much have similarities. It would do you good to do studies from all different kinds of nationalities, and finding what makes them unique.

A tip with designing characters even just for fun, is set up a system (such as dice) to randomly pick different personalities and try to reflect that in each character. Anyway, hope that gives you something to consider.

[AlexC]

who is this dile kid who is extremely talented and sucessful and has the 4th largest thread on CA?
I feel so jealous, I quit

[N1ck]

I even like the one with the off proportions. Just the left hand looks a bit weird, or should it look like this?

Did you shade the buildings with a feltpen? Maybe the shading is a bit too unclear.

[Dile_]

Fuse, thanks!

Miguelslo, at least it gets you thinking ; ) thanks!

Retmia , Bonjour haha, thanks for looking you crazy France dude!

Space Chimp : wow good ideas ! i should do that! thank you!

Alex C ; hahaha , I brag way to much :E Thanks for checking mate!

N1ck: thanks man! The building sketch was only 4 inches kinda, i enlarged it heavily in ps.. hehe

Heres some crap from tonight..

[ciots]

great scratchiness bro, i havent seen studies in a bit, i do trust you're doing them!

[masterpug]

I didn't know you started a neww 'book! Things seem to be moving well. Very nice indeed. See you round the .org.

[Mr-Joe]

Hi Dile, How you doin?

It's been a while since I came across this sketchbook, .. 70 pages!! I can't believe the amount of progress you have made in a year, its outstanding.

[Dile_]

Thanks for all replies.. I'm in a bit of a hurry.. So i'll reply later properly .
mortem: Nah I won't do artschool yet, I think its obligatory to have been in "Gymnasiet first"

_ anyways, heres some sketchbook shizzz , pretty much only doodles..

[Coinpurse]

man I think your drawing those milk duds a bit too high...
Regardless though, Excellent progression as usual! Keep going with this sketchbook till you hit 21. You'll have like 500 something pages lol.
That sketchbook post 21 will be that of a professional ;)

Keep it up!

[N1ck]

Haha, that creature with the heart on the head is cool!
Am I seeing a new style in development?

[aph]

Huge improvements matey. I would really suggest looking at some forms on there own though, it helps to improve your memory and range of shapes that you can draw. Just simple things, ears/noses/mouths/feet maybe, seeing as you seem to want to conquer the old human figure =)

I always found that everytime I did it a few weeks later I would realise I learnt something useful.

[silvestri99]

You always impress me by your volume and variety. Keep up the great work and determination!

[Lake]

interesting stuff you got here recently. gritty, grainy, awesome.

[Dile_]

Thanks guys.. I appreciate your comments!

Heres another two speedpaints.. Just trying out new techniques.. Next month I hope to have some finished stuff to show. Been working really hard and it feels dumb not to be able to show haha.

anyways.

[N1ck]

Nice DoF in the Robohead pic, nice textures too.
The battleangel is interesting too, just the wings look like a scythe, maybe you wanted this to look like that?

In general nice improvement in so short time, keep it up, i know you will :)

[ciots]

fuck me! that last update hit me in the gut, bro. impressive rate, and i need to pump out more, thanks for the kick!

[Morham]

Certainly some nice stuff here, I like the little freaky black creature in the pants, made me chuckle...he's kinda evilly adorable in a sick twisted kinda way :P

Just one thing about the bat angel, the hand with the arrow looks odd...not sure if I'm looking at the back of the hand, in which case its fine if maybe a little sharpley bent at the wrist...or whether I'm looking at the front of it with the fingers, in which case the hand is too long and she's lacking a thumb or something. Also the wrist on the bow arm is too thick, like her forearm just kinda becomes a hand :)

[Crush]

Hey Dile :D

I'm liking that robot head thing, it has kind of an Andrew Ley feel to it :)

That black and white one at the top of this page is awesome too, as is the one on the top of #2078

Keep it up! (which im sure you will :P)

[m0uS3r]

you know what im gone say ... OMFG nice job man a loot of emprovment ... the latest stuff its awsome

the ones in top of the page are soo cool .. you are starting to feel te metal nice job ..

hope to c more ... cheers

[dannE-B]

Keep focusing on these painting experiments for a while, i think you could really gain something, it looks as though you could maybe tighten a few areas up, its good to be loose, but its also good to have some good Focused points.

[DIMAGYAN]

the paintings are very good. sometimes the proportions of your characters are wrong or at least strange.you draw construction lines before doing the final? some drawings are very good with confident strokes, i think you just need to improve your anatomical knowledge .post 2071 have very good works(good paintings, ligths) the last post have nice colours.i want to see some more finished stuff.

work hard and have fun

[Guilemo]

Its very nice to see you're improvement, for you certainly have improved. A lot! The latest speedies are really nice, especially the first one. Its so metallic, and yet abstract. Its somewhat relaxing to look at. You have some very good studies on the previous pages as well ;)

Keep up the nice work!

best
Henning

[Darktwin]

Nice Dile, I'm seeing more hands and feet in the latest updates, :), keep up the good work, Drawing and digital paintings are great, keep it up. Nothing wrong with doodles, drawing is drawing, keep challenging your mind and your always progress one way or another.

Cheers :)

[Razorb]

damn thats so cool open up the first page and open up this last page and see the diffrence! haha great work mate keep up the crazy progress :)

[Jonas Heirwegh]

Nice improvement Dile.

Good sketchlines, I wish I could pull of such lines.

Keep em coming

[Miles_]

I just went from page one of this sketchbook to page 70 and damn man. I'm impressed. You've worked hard and reaped the benefits. Keep it up, the amount of work you put in is inspirational.

[That fat kid]

Hey Dile,

Excellent work ethic and there's some marked improvement within the last few pages.

My main crits involve solutions and formulas. It's very easy to figure out how something looks and draw it, and keep that set image in your mind, but it's much harder to fully understand the form and structure of something and to flatten it out in your mind's eye. I can tell from your life stuff that you aren't yet fully understanding the way light works to bend form, the way a subtle line can weave in and out of the paper, but you're confidence with your imaginative stuff allows you to produce simple forms and figures. However, they're repetive. And repetition is easy, fast, and 'safe.' What is not safe is working out new problems, approaching new things to learn and understand even more. Basically, frustration breeds improvement. Don't lock yourself into formulae for drawings, or your art will lose vitality.

Great draftsmen don't spend their time rendering every little tiny detail, they use a few subtle marks to convey huge amounts of information. A simple line can create depth, convincing form and weight, as well as indicate motion and mood. As they say, magic is deception, and the deceiving thing about great drawings is how easy they look. You're not seeing the pile of failures behind a masterpiece, you'll only see the simpe elegance and beauty within the final image.

Seek out new things, and conquer them.

~Andrew

[Crane]

Hey pencil juice, whats been cooking? your mediums by the look of things haha, some really drastic improvement going down here, i have to say i envy your drive.. i am WAY to lazy... but hell, i'm getting there, still can't update sadly :( working on getting a laptop with wireless, but i dunno which way thats gonna go.

anyway, this is gonna sound weird but can you just give me some details of your erm... well your drive, like how many hours you draw, and what you feel while your doing it, and if you come up against an obsticle what do you do to over come it? words of wisdom if you will.. i know that sounds a little woa, but i'm printing out loads of advice and interviews to get me fueled and i honestly think it would be huge inspiration if something like that came from you lol.

or you could just throw a cream pie in my face haha.

keep it up man! or i'll pimp slap you!>:|

[chrishly]

havent seen any of your stuff in a loong time, but its still a big pleasure

[markey2d]

really nice concepts dile, 70 pages, amazing. keep up the hard work man.
your destined for great things.

[razz]

You know, seeing the first page of this thread of yours and this last one makes me think I didn't work hard enough. You've improved so much in a pretty small amount of time. That's very inspirational to me. Gives me hope that I can become good too, haha. I've been doing studies 98% of thime, so my imaginational stuff sucks huge. That's what I'm trying to correct now. And seeing your stuff fills me with inspiration. Thanks for what you're doing man.

[Diphallia]

Oh! Oh! I found your thread! I'm the best, (been figuring to start an own thread) and you're still better. You've become Soooo much better since you started! :D.

Dennis, fan att du är grymm va! Vi får starta en liten sketchbook-group, du, jag och karl. Vare sig du vill eller inte!

Tycker bättre om dina pappermålningar än dom digitala, dunno why.
Men i vilket fall så skall jag fan tvinga mig att måla nu, och ha en egen sånhär lustig bok (:P) Så att folk kan störa sig på mig och be mig dra åt helvete :D.

Du har gjort en hel del snygga saker faktiskt! Fast jag kan inte se något särskilt bra, sitter i skolan nu och skärmarna är helt värdelösa så allt blir typ svart och jobbigt :(.
(har börjat måla med mus i Gimp och Paint nu som desperata akter på rasterna :) ) (Och jag blir galen på mössen! Inga musmattor!!! Och det är lasermöss eller kulmöss, kulmössen är typ söndersmusade, och lasermössen ligger på en vit och typ gråfläckig uta, vilket är värdelöst för röd laser >:C)

Sorry for the swedish, but it was just gibberish, nothing you others would like to read. (hope that dennis will)

[yungks.ae]

you know Dile, I've seen you progress over such a short period of time, and I really need to congratulate you on all the hard work and effort you've put in to get to the level you are at now. I feel really honored to have you as a sort of forum-friend, in a sense that you challenge me to progress in my ability to paint.

[.max]

Hah! Another 15 year old posting after a 15 year old in a 15 year olds sketchbook :teeth: . Or did you turn 16 already? ;)
I really have to say, Dile_, you're a monster. Your progress is fucking awesome. Keep it up and you're going to be the next Craig Mullins ;). No, really, I'm serious.

[ATAnderson]

The metal texture one is really nice, I will try to learn something from it. One thing I miss in this book is any big WIP's or personal projects, you must have thousands of ideas for big images and finished pieces?

Anyways, you know what to do, and how frequently to do it. Keep up the good work man.

ATA

[jedininjaman]

yo dile looking good mate! I look the texturing on the soldier's helmet man, nice new brushes too :)
hey man well I did what you said in my Sketchbook so check it out mate... I think you will like :)
but anyways keep posting man, you have lots of support :)

[Creatinity]

Hi there i've been passing from the first pages of your sketchbook to the lastone and obviously there is improvement...you are not wasting your time...
i feel awkard commenting on other since i'm not pro or anything but i would say your human drawings still retain some stiffness and misproportions...obviously it's far less marked in your last pages...

i have the feelling you should include more curvy lines in your first approach of the drawing...you know, defining the differents masses of the human body with loose oblong shapes...stuff like that...i hope i'm clear...it would be easier to say in french

anyway keep up the good work you're getting somewhere

[Darktwin]

Hey Dile, good to see you working hard to improve, your sb is looking good man, keep the pencil alive also, I would like to see you draw more faces from different angles, also ,keep drawing your cyborg/robots, put more detail in the masks, but then again, I like the simple design of the flat blank face. I would like to see some more variety though. I know your busy now working on the project, keep up the hard work Dile, I'll always be here to step in here and make suggestions. :) Cheers mate,
oh yeah I've also noticed your combined all your books together, nice. now keep this one alive!! :)

[Ashrumm]

Hey Dile whats going on man I really have to say
that this piece really speaks to me I love the texture the
austerity the everything about this piece very cool man!!
You are really coming around!! keep up the good work bro.

Heluva improvement Dile, the digitals are amazing!
Thanks for the inspiration and a kick in the butt!

[timpaatkins]

Hey there Dennis, you got some real good stuff in here. I see you have a nice feeling for dramatic lighting, and thats coming through in you digital sketches. Goblinshark gave you some good advice a few pages ago, never apologize of put your work down! You should come in here with your head held high, after all, you work like hell at it! And you can only go one way but up! Every single line you put down is a step in that direction.

Now don't let those tubes of gouache go to waste! Give us some more traditional stuff, fill your Moleskin with it, (well maybe not FILL, but a dab here and there...)

Using traditional color will only help you in the long run with digital.

Now keep it up, and lets never fight again!

Kram Tim

This last one, the robot head, now there is something going on there. Very mysterious. Put that sucker in an environment, let us know what hes up to!

Do you take any lifedrawing? If not, see if there is any way you can. you'll love it, and you get to be in a creative environment. Same with any classes actually. I used to go to a few classes at Folk universitetet, they are in the evening. may be you have a local one you can check out. I don't know where you live.


Now don't let those tubes of gouache go to waste! Smother your SB with them, well maybe a dab here ant there...


Keep it up and lets never fight again!

[Dile_]

Wooow ! Seriously, thanks sooo much everyone! I love you all for your time and effort you've put into your thoughts!!!

Thanks! I'm sorry for not having the time atm to reply to everyone.. I might have something to show next week, and i promise to get back at everyone til' then , either via PM , or here :)

I just wanted to share a speed paint that I saved as an AVI file.. Its nothing
great , but still, one of the few things i've done that i can show !

[Diphallia]

Godis!! That's great Dile!!
AhhH!!!

Vad är det för musik egentligen? Och är det bara jag som jobbar med solida färger till en början? :O
Aja, whatever floats your boat som man brukar säga.

Kommenterade innan jag riktigt hade kollat, men jag visste att det var till NG!!
Nu har jag ingen chans, så jag låter bli att måla en sån gubbe!!!

Nice, you rule.

[Hive_minD]

my goodness...that was so much fun to watch...!
wouldn't mind seeing the image a little larger though! ;)
I'll back! -with critique next time... gotta go!

[atmos]

Nice SB, i had a good time browsing it

[m0uS3r]

nice work dile.... you are emproving fast ... keep on working

cheers

[Rist]

I really love the shding one this:

The clip was awesome! Any chance to see it at 2x the rate? nah? ah well, fun all the same ;)

[Rolo]

Dile, haha!! Dude have you gotten far! 71 pages! Wow I don't remember so many! 6 years from now you better come by my house for some coffee or something cause you are gonna be a hell of conceptartist!

edit Dile you never get on msn anymore?!

[Miles_]

Nice speedpaint vid, that one really helped me thanks man.

Oh and rolo, he's always on msn.

[undergroundsean]

lot of amazing stuffs !! nice brush ~ and texture ..

[Lake]

omg how u draw so fast?!?!?111?

any chance you could put up that avi. for dl?

[frostsnake]

nice video dude. looking forward to see ur next piece:)

[Beelow]

What I think...

Improve the knowledge, anatomy,color thoery, perspective, the works. Then apply it. I think you should consider drawing straight from life and from ref and make it stick. record what you see. draw things over if it is not right. Get crits keep drawing. You're pretty much going about things the right way, just gotta keep doing it until it clicks. Color needs some work, you're playing it safe by staying with neutrals and muted colors. Try to get some more saturated colors into your palette. Get a color wheel if you have to. Axe your barriers dude, fight fight fight your paint and get control of it. Its gonna be a struggle dude, get control of what your trying to do and start doing more narrative oriented stuff. I want to floored. Give me something that will blow my socks off. You're good enough to do it, technique is already there, its just doing that something with a good sense to not only design, composition, color, etc. but also making me laugh, creeping me the fuck out, or seeing something beautiful, anything that evokes emotion. Digital tool is very flexable and I am pretty certain you understand that dile. Show me something, step it up, I am calling you out. I dare you to make better art, how about that.

[Rolo]

Aperantly he got a new msn and did not tell me. I have it now though.

[~Faust~]

oiiiiiiiiii prettay, you reallt have talent as they say :) Damnit, seeing putting all this effort in your craft is truely inspiring. I should reurn more often to this place!

[Dreamworker]

Very nice updates! I found very interesting your speedy paint video, good work.
Cheers ;)

[kischi]

Great vid!!! Whant to see the picture of it :)
Keep up the good work.

[Dile_]

wow shit.. I didn't expected so much feedback on this little video! hehe. Thanks everyone!

Uhm.. Some people here, and on another site requested the fulltime / fullsize video..

And as lazy and broke I am ( at least on Internet credits ) I choosed to "host" it via torrent..

So if anyones interested here is the torrent file!!

( just unzip with WinRar or WinZip or any other unzipping software , and open the torrent with your Torrent Software! How logic lol. )

its 1 hour, 4 minutes and 18 seconds long.. so theres a -tend - to - be -boring - warning out to you if you download this :)



Dennis

[Dile_]

Uhm.. Thanks to a great guy.. Texahol.. Who doesn't give a crap about asspats and shit.. and goes straight a head on the critique.. And gives VALID critique.. I think i changed my mindset somehow.. lol. Yeah its lame, but something clicked when i was painting on this "doodle".. And I think it was because of what he said to me on IRC. about my progress !

Thanks a lot dude.. Even if this painting isn't so progressed, i think that the changed progress and the way i've built it up is better then what i've tried before. Thank you! if you read this hehe.

Also thanks to all people who have (began) to download my video.. Over 20 people!! I'm so honored that you are even interested!

Anyways.. heres the piece.

[Kresh]

The legs are off here i think. The leg on the right should be more straight on , probably see more front of the knee cap(forshorteing?maybe). Right now it looks like the leg that is kneeling is more closer than the other leg . Just my 14 cents here.

BTW man AWESOME SKETCHBOOK 10 stars ftw!!!

[AlexC]

Last one is definately progression, the lighting gives the impression of form and musculature.
The arms look stiff, I think redrawing them a few times might help.
Legs look weird, seriously I think it would help if you looked at yourself in a full length mirror to see the foreshortening.
Face area is bland, if you think about the silouette then it becomes even more apparent.

Your recent work has definately been a step up, I know your contact stuff will be looking excellent.
you know how much i love this one http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x127/dile1482/Speedpaint_3.jpg
It really looks like it has a sense of scale, it looks really big.

Im very impressed how your attitude is, very professional.
Good luck with your work, I am very jealous but extremely proud, keep it up
Alex
5 golden coins for you

grt development keep up man


my sketch book (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=72098&page=7)

[MattGamer]

Good artz since I last was here.

The last one is a tad too dark. The highlights are very dim and it would be nicer to bring out some light in the piece. I know it is a quicky, but if you draw everything this dark, it would be sad.

Also, I want to see more studies! Moar!! :0 :)

[OBX]

awesome your improving soo much. Nice video too. I actually learned a few new trix from it. well done.

[Miles_]

Great stuff Dile, you need to post the hand studies we were talking about.

[Fishspawn]

Hey Dile. Great new works. Really like the one that ashrumm reposted on the last page. I enjoyed watching your speedpaint but i don't really get your method. It seemed to me like you jumped into detail in one place before you had the basic idea ironed out in another. I think it would benefit you to wait a little longer before you get detailed in things: push the overall composition and look (from afar) before you detail. Oh, and thanks for your comment in my book a month ago - you didn't know it but that helped me a lot to get back on track. Keep up the good work.

[m0uS3r]

hei dude ... im so sad to c just one work but ... its almoust good ... you should study the legs a little bit more they don't look that good and the hands

... those are the part that i think you should concentrate at ... do more pencil work ... try to study a mounth or two just line quality study anatomy hard proportions as well

maybe you should study a little the highlights ... hmmmm .... and one think i can't stress enough portraits as more as you can .... do those things for about 4 mounths and it all will be good ...

this is all for now hope to c more of ya work ... and hope you will have time to crit me .... i agree whit ya at the post why every one says good ... oo well this is all ....

cheers

[silvestri99]

Dile.. your video rocks, good work! Your rock'n guitar dood has a couple of problems that i can see. The proportion of his legs seem to be off, as in length of thigh to calf. I would also put a bit of arch into his back just to give more emphasis on his playing. All the guitarists I've ever played with did it...i think it's an intensity thang. Keep up the great work and posting!!

[~Faust~]

Damnit you're a star, kid, look how everyone is bouncing on your book, wow! You should be thankful for the support, but don't get high on it, just continue your journey and everything will be fine. I would give you crits, but you already get help from people so much more proficient. You'll be elite, for sure!

[Cup of Joe]

Dang, why don't I come by here more often?
Definitely good work going on here. I'd like to see more traditional, but what you've got is definitely good. That last one is too fuzzy though, all midtones. Push those shadows and lights a bit and it'll be golden.
Keep it up man!

[pagedown]

From page 1 to current....quite the journey. Gives hope to alot of beginners like my self.

Really amazing work! Keep on postin'

[The-Mentat]

What a progress man! awesome! Love your pencil stuff, such clean lines and nice rendering. And your digis are just.. wow, especially http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x127/dile1482/Speedpaint_3.jpg. Far beyond me anyway:P.

i PM'ed you the progress of it,, so you know .. blah@replying so late hehe.

ciots: You are to sensitive ; ) Keep it up!

Morham: Thanks, and I agree completely, anatomy isn't my strongest side hehe. Need tons of more practice!

Crush: Thanks man!

m0uS3r: Nice to see you in here! Metal you say ? haha not yet ; )

Dimagyan: Thanks a lot... I agree, anatomy isn't really my best side haha..

Guilemo: thank you!

Darktwin: Thanks a lot man!

Razorb: Thanks mate!

Epias: Thx :)

Spazazo: I'm glad to be an inspiration .. thanks!

That fat kid: I sent you a pm.. but you never replied hehe.. Thanks for your insightful comment!

Mad Cat/Frogsweat ( nice new nickname hehe :P ) Uhm, I'm sorry to be late on this one.. I should've replied directly ( I did, but it got ereased lol... )
anyways... Sometimes inspiration comes like a kick.. sometimes it doesn't come at all.. You gotta sit down and draw any ways if you want it that bad .. Your love and passion
to it should help you get going.. Sometimes I feel sad when I don't draw ( I'm not obsessed by drawing , I just love it ) because I feel like i'm gonna end up like any other mediocre person in the future, those thoughts
have helped me from time to time to get going as well.. I don't want to be mediocre in the future! I want to be able to love what i do and put down what I love on the paper hehe : )
I'm not sure if that help you.. but anything can get you inspired..words/pictures/sounds.. but its you who must put it into action.. Theres no fuckin' idea to just sit there
and 'wait' .. Get going :) I bet you got artist you love more then others.. I have a few , like a top 5 that I always get back to and check out when I feel uninspired/not in mood to draw.

People that got me into drawing are those who inspire me the most. Sinix and Andrew ley, and lately bumskee are probably my favorites and have helped me mentaly with soooooo much.

I can have a really bad day.. browse through their stuff , and the next minute i feel fine and holding a pencil ; )

There is music that works the same way for me aswell. I have tons of music that I listen to all the time really. I can draw without music, but I don't like it as much.
I can't say that I have some sort of "best for inspiration" music.. But I listen a lot to soundtracks, and when I don't get that "shiver-feeling" off them, I just change to another! Eventually I will get it back.. Just
need a little break hehe.

Sometimes I'm drawing from life, and i see some shapes that inspire me to do something else.. Really, just open your mind and it will come to you!
I've read several of the good artist around here saying that one of the keys to get going is to not keep anything out , and let everything in. So when you
think of drawing a character in a pose, DO IT, don't say to urself that its to hard and that you can't.. When you've finished it, you'll have a new topic ..
Before I used to exclude those thoughts or ideas I had, because I thought they were to cliche/inspired by someone else.. But they help you to get going for sure.

Theres a lot of stuff that can help you to get motivated.. but you gotta be sure you wanna do it.. and just do it!
We all have bad and good days, and you gotta live through that hehe :)

I hope I answere you a little! Keep it up man!

Chrishly: Thx!

Markey2D: Thanks a lot for your words haha! You doing great too!

Razz: Your thread does the same to me! Thanks man!

ATanderson: Thanks man! Not sure if you can learn anything from me.. I certainly can from you though!

apparently the opposite.. A really good pro who can paint very well ^^

Jedininjaman: thank you!

Creatinity : wow, thanks! Of course you don't need to be a professional to give me critique.. I really appreciate critique
over asspats... So thanks for your tips! I have taken those into consideration you should know!

[ Whine ]
Today been a really shitty day heh.. I lost my sketchbook ( some bastard stole it gah! )
I forgot my moleskine in school, and I don't have any wacom nibs left!! And my pen stopped working! great day heh.
Getting a new pen on Monday , and I got quite some deadlines coming up on me.. It better *be* here on monday
or I'll flip out.. gahh!

[ /Whine ]
However...



I'm really thankful for all the support i'm getting from everyone! I'm trying to bring the critique into my work
and I thank you for taking your time to help me!!

[Diphallia]

"Du har gjort en hel del snygga saker faktiskt! Fast jag kan inte se något särskilt bra"
Joo, det är felformulerat.
Jag menade att det går inte att se så bra på skolskärmarna :tihi:!
Det var inte meningen att få dig att tro att du är kass, för det är du definitivt inte!

[Beta_v1]

man your work is inspiring...I just feel like drawing everything now...THANKS...i think you may have been a contribution to me becoming a better artist.

[Crane]

PRINTED!!!!

thanks for that little speech ma man, i owe you one!.
i can relate to what you say, especially not wanted to do something because its been inspired by someone else, why do you think my name changes so much haha, but i think i hit on a unique one this time, though i did find a band called frogsweat, but i think they faded away...hopefully..my name!. haha anyway sweet stuff, i'll come back when i have more time and offer crits!

stay yourself!

[motives]

Thanks for the lines man! Jävlar vad fina grejer du gör! (låter aningen töntigt med svenska när man är van vid engelska men det får bli så iaf)
Tror inte jag kan komma på något att påpeka såhär på rak arm. Keep going!

[Dile_]

Diphallia: Thanks man!

Beta: I'm glad i can be an inspiration! Thx!

Frogsweat : haha yeah its unique ; ) thanks for dropping by, and no problem!

Motives : Tackar :D


////////////////////////>
Heres some new/old sketches.. I'll try to update with more when I get time! sorry for the tiny-ness and oldness..

[TheGnoll]

hey Dennis, looks like you've been pretty busy as usual ;)
nice experiments as usual man...i especcially like the digi enviros ;)'bout the pencils, you still gotta loosen up, and get some things sorted out, but you ain't lazy, thats for sure...keep pushing man, improvement is constant here!

ciao!

[Tigermilk]

Fuckin' prince bro, great enviros, inspiring as hell!

Häng mera på illu.ormstudios vettja! :)

[armetage]

good work :) keep it up

[Olof]

Hey mate. Sweet update, hope you'll scan more.
Your digis are sweet, but I'd keep the colours abit less strong on some of them. The one with purple background and the green/blue, it's hard to know what to focus on. The underwater scene on the other hand works perfect.

.cheers

[Bendragon]

Hey Dile my man! I owe u some crits from a while back but I was offline for a while. Anyhoo, your work is improving very quickly. Your digital work is looking very good. I would love to see a finished piece quality render though. Its hard to see whats not working with your sketches. And Im running out of crits!

[dannE-B]

I have to agree strongly with Bendragon, id love to see a polished, finished piece of work, all this work is great n all but none of it feels finished. Its very important to see what sort of finalized work you can produce, if you dont then you will never know what true quality your at? Working on one piece, trying to get it to that next level, pushing yourself....it can tell you a lot about your own work.

[Kicek]

yep. good stuff dennis. dig those pencils very much, maybe you should put more love into your faces...they look kinda rushed. take your time with these;) c

[Infinit]

yoyo you got me hoocked up again :D

after all I do something from tim to time ^^

[alyssa milano]

hey dile, you got a nice sb here, i especially like your pencils sketches :).
keep it up!!

[Diphallia]

I like that guy with an engine on his back :D,
looks a bit Hurricane inspired if I may be honest with you.

Also it looks like you're using that default pose of yours a bit too much (the one on the ninvja girl), imao, don't like it (I should've kept that to myself :O)

You have a pretty unique style :D

Jag köpte tre stycken moleskine för 320 kronor!
Vanliga blanka notebooks, två st large (a5) och en pocket (a6) :D

That was swedish for "I bought three moleskines for 50 (48.5 actually) bucks :D (plain, två large (a5) and one pocket (a6)"

[Miles_]

Lol at that last post like I said Dile, I think some of your work is a bit Hurricane. Nonetheless cool stuff. For practice purposes you should put a lot of time into and finish a pencil piece once in a while :wink:

[Don-key]

hey bro you improve like a madman, sorry i havent left a comment on regular occasion but i have been floating around. i dont think your work is overly "hurricane" hurri wasnt the first to put shit on a dudes back. its good to see you developing. keep pushing your studies, pencil is looking great in the most recent updates and i love the traditional experiments.
would like to see more pen stuff :)

[Idiot Apathy]

i'll be back soon :android:

[monsi]

Great stuff dile :]

I'm afraid I can't really crit anything that you wouldn't already know. You're putting in the work and doing the right things. Really, just keep on going.

[edit] ok maybe just one thing - maybe try to use larger brushes more when doing your speed paints, I'm seeing alot of areas that have the sort of chaotic filling in with a smaller brush etc. Dunno if you want that look or not but it is a little overwhelming and marginally unpleasnat for me. Also maybe just try and keep your brush at a larger size overall when doing any part of the painting, and only use a small brush for some finishing touches.

:B

[Diphallia]

Too bad that your updates are coming slow.
I like that purple girl :D

Keep it up!

[Miles_]

Nice Dile ur coming along smoothly. I'll have to play you again on HL2 or couner strike again some time soon. Don't you go abandoning us for CGPad.org lol.

[Hurley]

Fantastic improvments man, love your work, its been a pleasure to flick through over 15 pages of this sketchbook.

[Dynamike]

I can see you are very inspired by other artists here at conceptart.org which isn't bad. But it is somekinda disturbing you are showing so much different stuff here... you should show more of the same kind for a while.

Keep it up.

Mike

[Wasker]

not bad at all

[Infinit]

go visit http://dile1482.com or go die!

[Coinpurse]

show yourself denny!
This new site of yours has me wondering, is there more?!?!?!
:D

[drd]

A 73 page sketchbook? I never thought I'd see the day...must be the longest sketchbook on here.

A fine testament to your skill (especially in pencil)

[Dile_]

wow, haven't had a lot of time over for anything lately... painting, painting and painting! I had a 3 day break from painting some time ago... not to good.. but it felt good to start again.. I've done quite a lot stuff.. only trying to learn how to finish.. I\m not sure if I'm gonna save up for an FF thread.. or post stuff here..

Anyways.. Just wanted to thank everyone for attempting resurrection at this thread.. Not sure if its really gonna happen as I will be damn busy until' next summer break..

just for the sake of it.. heres a piece i uploaded to my site!

[Tigermilk]

Dile, you improving bastard, I'm 'onna kill you one of these days! :D
nah seriously man, last one is fucking amazing. You'll be working for some big, fancy gaming company in no time.

God Dammit.

[Diphallia]

That's really awesome, but it looks a little bit illuminated, maybe that's intentional?
Looks like you can see trough it, like it's "genomskinligt"
Just wanted to tell you: Wacom has released a new cintiq.
But it's only 12 inches, like an a5 paper :(.

But it looks cool!

Cheers!

[~Maximiliaan]

Very nice sketchbook!
Keep up the good work.

[RaistlinTheDark]

great work

[m0uS3r]

hei dile ...

i wanna start like this ... your enviros .. look good well done .. you improved a loot ... you can become pro at this verry soon just keep the good work going .... ok those are the good words ...
i think you should study hard at characters ...there are areas where you seem to lose control you make the character good till a point and then BUM wrong anatomy ...the major mistakes you do at humanoid forms is on the joint of the heands position of the muscles on the hands ... and kinda same to legs to ... im not good at that to ... but you know you c better mistakes in other ppl drawings ... soo aaa tri to do more studies ... take some notes if ya cant they really help bealive me i take them to after a sesion of life drawing or studiing

if you spend some time at this place you will have the power to incorporate a good char in to a cool enviro and that rocks ...

hope you take my advice ... the best way of evolving is life studiing

these is your one year old friend ... mouser .... cheers bro

[Fraz]

Sup Dile. I just flicked through all 74 pages of this amazing sketch book. Nothing more I can say, than keep it up!
And post more stuff.

[Dile_]

edit***

[MattGamer]

Good for you, man! You inspired me to shut up right now and start drawing!

[Jonas Heirwegh]

sounds awfully familiar :)

But I'm getting getting there and you will too I'm sure.

Good luck!

I'll check your site in a few weeks ;)

[Darktwin]

Hell yeah Dile, I'm excited for you, you still going to be logged into IM I hope? I'll be looking for you, this is very inspiring, back to work for me also. I'm here for you man, critiques, someone to vent out your frustrations, whatever i can do bro.

[Ashrumm]

Hey Dile i don't think it is a very imature thing to do, hell, most of us should be doing the same thing, including myself. I am also inspired by this epiphany of yours and am getting my ass back to work asap!!

Godspeed Dile, Godspeed little bro!!

[Crawley]

amazing progress from page 1. in a year. wow.

[~Faust~]

Yeah, you know, I always set my goal to kinda stay ahead of you. Strangely, that didn't happen but I never gave up on that. The funny thing is, in some years, like, 4 or 5 maybe, I REALLY want to work together with you on something, till then, I wish you that you stay as focused and inspired as you are, as will I.

[Jasper_]

Hey man, thats an awesome thing to do. I look forward to seeing your progress when you return, whenever that will be.

[Dian3]

luck in your project!

[Rolo]

Oh man! There is no point in commenting here, but just so you see this Dile in 550 paintings!

Hmm If you won't see this in a bout a year, I can post things..that you won't find out until then!
Hehe.

[m0uS3r]

P.S. HOPE EVERY ONE WILL READ THIS

[ajvenema]

good post mouser!
nothing to add...

[king_scribbles]

I looked at your sketchbook and just smiled. I have it set old to new, so I jumped every five pages or so and saw how you have improved, and in like...a year and a half!!! You are inspirational man. Just awesome, not only did you get technically better; but more imaginitive and bold with every aspect of your work. :mod:

[Kvick]

If you're reading this, then STOP IT.

lol, jk GLHF man, you'd better come in sketcher sometime... that's drawing time... right?

[Quicksilver]

Best of luck on your journey, Dile :) It was a pleasure to look through your SB, and a great source of inspiration.

[m@.]

you're doing it
good luck on your journey... it's a cool idea actually as long as you keep contact with some people to give you crits !

[invinciblewombat]

i think your maturity is well advanced for your age and you are definitly a very welcome part of this site and will miss new work in your sb. best of luck to you in the coming years and we'll all be waiting for that epic finally finished post when you return.

[Coinpurse]

amen to that



@Dile:

kid, you rock beyond measures. You'll be one of the best for sure, just don't let it get to you that much. Like someone mentioned earlier on here, takes commitment, patience and most of all... Time. Just make sure you give as much attention to your "Life" as you do you "art". Art is a life learning process, and you will continue to learn as you grow. But don't become too obsessed with it, obsessions never do anyone any good ever. Your young, you have lots to learn in the coming years. So while I do think this is a good move, I also think your taking it a little further then it needs to go. However, I respect your wishes 100%. Your a thousand times better and committed then I was at your age, i've always said that and you know it :P

You say you aren't coming back here till your done with your goals, obviously you wont see these messages unless you decided to reflect on your old SB. In which case I say:

HELLO TO YOU MR. DILE 550 PAINTINGS FROM NOW!!

[Bendragon]

Good luck friend! It was fun watching you grow, would have been a treat to see your progression towards your goal but your doing the right thing. Its inspiring to see such a young talent with high ambitions and really going for it.
See you later!

[Evil_Sloth]

Your crazy man you'll be in a toilet at a night club 3am in the morning shaking with your laptop in your hands trying to hack into the closest wi-fi channel to check out CA updates. I've seen it happen.

Seriously though can't wait to see how good you are after your 550 paintings.

[~Faust~]

And here I though Dile was back :(

[frostsnake]

THis is awesome!
nothing else to say than good luck!
snakkes

[Tmza]

Thanks for visiting my sb.
Wow, this is a monster thread - really nice stuff.
Its a huge progress you have made, congrats!

[inkR]

Hi there my friend, been a long time:)
I checked your sketchbook... and my jaw along with the head and the entire rest dropped on the friggin floor! How in the hell is it possible to make such progress in such short time? You are one of the people who proved that joy of drawing along with ambition and good motivation is everything that man needs to become an artist. I am amazed.

peace,
InkR

[Dile_]

I love honest critique.. don't be afraid to tell me what i need to focus more / less on ;) i easily get caught up in circles...and bad habits!

here is some stuff i've done


MORE IS COMING AS I KEEP COMING UP WITH IT :]

[Ahim]

first!

EDIT: Whoa, I just had to make sure I was first :D This will be a thread to watch for! I'll critique some other time I promise, I'm drunk right now.

EDIT 2: Ok something to make me look smart here:

the second image feels like some persian town, that is cold, with overblown highlights on the roof and in the sky.... if you add the sand color to it it will look exactly like persian something
on painting snow.... maybe needs a little more hard form.. doesnt have much weight now.... snow doesnt just stick on the edges of buildings, either it is laying on top of something or there is none.....

Also snow reflects - as it is water. It is not white, as the sea is not blue, it reflects the surrounding colors in the shadow, and in the highlights it reflects the sky color.... so a bit more sky work and then the snow can also look good...

What a feeling...
...
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life...

What a feeling...

[Dave_]

So you decided to make a sb again, good, and this time i'll keep track of it ^^.

You seem to be making lots of quick (and rushed?) stokes. I realise these are speed paints, try some more relaxed stokes. (this comming from the utter noob of digital though)

[Virg]

ah ! so hes back !
nice start. Great brushwork and lot of details. You did not waste your time it seems. :)
One thing in both cites paintings, they are pretty monochrome, some warmer highlights there and there would be nice, the white you used to highlight the rooftops should be a desaturated high value of yellow rather than a cyan.
moooorreee

[Jamie Romoser]

Nice start for your sketchbook man keep it up!

[King Denver]

Everything I wanted to say has already been covered.

Fuck yes dude. Now I should make something neato and update my sb.

[kingkostas]

Dile you are not bad at all.The enviros are great but rough.They need you to spend some more time working them i guess :P
Anyway ill keep watching your progress :D
see ya

[Tigermilk]

This sketchbook will be totally awesome. Can't wait to see what you have in store!

Lycka till! :)

Ps. Ditt namn är inte Dennis Björk?

[MattGamer]

my honest opinion is that i hate you and love
you at the same time.

DIE, WILLIAM, DIE! :)

[Nibras]

:)
This thread just put a very warm smile on my face.
YES FTW!!!!!!!!!!!! WELCOME BACK WILL!
god am so excited about this you know you updating everyday and then me saying no way he cant update more than me and then me end up updating everyday too and then we can have art wars and yes! This is the life!
Awesome start so far and like its been said a billion times am sooooooo looking forward to this sb!
Right now i have no crits but your doing the TC right? i'll crits that if i can because i might do it too :D
Keep it up bro!

[Diphallia]

Cool, I found it.

[Bendragon]

Hey Dile, I thought your name was Dennis?!?! Anyway, these are looking pretty good. Solid foundations for perhaps an illustration. I know some of these are sketches but I know you like the odd crits too. Im thinking the mountains look too smooth atm, the shapes look too regular. You could carve into them and pull bits out to break up the regular shapes.
The snow scene looks awesome. I think some of the snow is a bit too intense though, like the foreground in the bottom left. It looks like it should be in the shades and a bit duller.
I like the way you handled the lighting on the cyborg.
Good to see you back mate :)

[Dile_]

hey thanks guys =)

just to clear it up ! my birthname is William Carl Dennis Björk... not that it really matters on the internet ;) but i have been using Dennis Björk my whole life til' recently .. mainly I used Dennis because my family called me that .. lol

anyway.. Dennis is fine too =) yeahhh =D whatever.

and yes, thanks a lot for the comments , bendragon : great pointers,, I did some mountain studies last night.. can't post them cause i'm on mah lappy will post them tomorrow if I can, or monday!

[Kian]

Looking good young brother.

[Nibras]

Your sig made me cry and draw while crying *true fact* lol
The painting of the girl is awesomley crazy
if i had to crits you would already know it all :D
The enviros are great and so's the dude on the right
man your coming up all new stylized and awesome :D
keep it up bro!

[Jackwhat]

You've gotten a lot better since you disappeared into the ether a while ago and your environments and defining of shapes n shit is getting a whole lot better.

I cant really offer up any crits on your environments because youre cracking along with those fine and youre better than me at them thats for sure. Well maybe one thing... Resize! - Some of them are lookin nice but still a bit akin to thumbnails when it comes to details. Awesome stuff though.

The thing i learnt recently that theres no real shortcut and to see things as and when you do them, which is a fucker when youre in a rush to improve but hey... you practice a lot so alls good.

[Dile_]

Miguelslo: thanks a lot buddy! yepp should've studied more snow pieces =) doing a bit of them now though, but just quicks.. lol

Dave_ hey thanks man! yepp I'll be thinking more of my strokes in the future =) its on my todo list ;)

WhiteC: thanks! will work on colors

OmertA: thank you!

King Denver: yo dudeface ;) DRAW

Tigermilk: thanks!

Jackwhat : really glad to hear you think i'm getting better, its kind off hard to notice on your own . lalala

<3 VENT!

[a la bapsi]

you two and your shennanigans.
I finally know what you were all guffawing about today on vent. xD

[R&F]

There are some nice enviros here but it would be nice to see more detail, anyways just my opinion.

cheers

[Hive_minD]

It's going to be a great pleasure watching you evolve... really

Chris

[Nibras]

Whats vent?
How come i never got invited to OC *goes to the corner and cries*
And was it like oc of the naked girls or something like that lmfao....
Anywayz i have a request
i wanna request a more finished piece!
cmon dile show us what your made off!

[Miles_]

Ahaha, what fun that was! We need to do that every Saturday haha. Keep them studies comin Will, don't forget to use your whole value range,

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=457317&stc=1&d=1220765144

Those two look a little washed out if you know what I mean. Do some studies from photo ref and you'll see the kind of thing I mean.

[Call0ps]

Hey man! gorgeous stuff, i hope u keep this one updated ^^ stars for you matte :P

[jordyskateboardy]

Hey Dile, Good to see you are back at CA. Nice studies i especially like the first post. I'll keep track of ur SB for sure. Catch ya later man.

[SoufMeng]

I loooove the first one!!!!
Played Assassins creed didnt ya?

Beware, ur charcoal brush sometimes hurts ur edges.

I can honestly tell you I haven't touched a pen/pencil seriously for over a year.. so that is smth i'm gonna try to change

I love honest critique.. don't be afraid to tell me what i need to focus more / less on i easily get caught up in circles...and bad habits!

here is some stuff i've done

I finished reading alla prima by Richard schmidt a week ago or so and something he said that really caught my attention was that though artist usually admit having trouble wiv colors they usually have even more trouble with good drawing wich is something they are less prone to say.
I think there is truth in that and im afraid digitalpainting sometimes diverts me and a few artists from working on some fundamentals like drawing.

So yeah all this to say dont let dust settle on ur pencils and drawww, painting is not much without drawing/design!

Congrats on the new thread and best of luck!

:)

[Eclair]

pretty cool sb... enviros are pretty good!
i think you should experiment with colors more..

[Dile_]

Thanks everyone!

tomorrow is the big day hehe! I'm going to see the headmaster, my class-teachers together with my mother to perhaps discuss a way for me to get into the art-classes .. odds are quite low since i've skipped class and haven't show interest in any school-related activities.. but hopefully they will realize i'm passionated about learning art!

the past 2-3 weeks i've had what some might call an art-block, but very temporarily in small periods, and i've basically felt my first depression. And all based on a very silly and stupid reason that i'd be 'very' colorblind. I am colorblind, but I have the smallest affection from it one can have.. so i'm blessed.. haha! I've done 100's of tests, and only on few test have i not been able to see the blend between hue of green and red. So the feeling is dropping, and I feel very good about it now. Thanks to the people on IRC , especially whiterose !

I'm trying my best to study art even when it 'doesn't quite work the first time' I know you can get through even if you start out with a really bad day. So that is basically the kind of updates i'm been giving you.. yeah hmm. if I can't join the arts program here where I live, i'm gonna do my best to develop my work to a good level to get into some swedish atelier ( yeah there are actually some good ones here! ) I've decided that whatever happens I will try to finish the 'gymnasium' here in sweden, that way I have abit of a safer future instead of risking everything to get into some fancy school.

again, you're support is very motivating, I think about art all the time. its hard to do something else with the same amount of passion to it. Thanks people.

anyhow.. here is some studies /redoings / paintings from today.. ! everything goes.. poo!

[algenpfleger]

Damn kid :D The last ones are amazing. Keep it up! And good luck tomorrow :)

[kidult]

The last 2 enviros have a much better feel in terms of coulr and values. Your colours tend to look a litlle washed out. Plus where is tha chicks you like to draw? I see like 1 or 2 !??

As for the school thing - just practice and work hard! You'l get there (if you need too, propably be too good by the time comes!)

[AlexC]

http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=459625&stc=1&d=1221003963

polish this one, the design's fine and it's looking very promising.

Hope you're big day turns out fine, hell, shit happens so don't get down if it doesn't turn out, you owe it to yourself to be the best artist you can be, just keep drawing those girls!

[Dile_]

yay! I got declined ! teacher told me to 'write a letter explaining my motives for attending there' as the only way to change to art-class.

I'm so angry right now :( + I got told the normal BS from my science teachers.

Let me quote him on a few

"art is nothing you do for a living"

"the money won't exactly roll in"

"you gotta have something to fall back on if you do art"

"art is your hobby right ? we have a few students like you already, I know your situation"



brb, i'm gonna kill someone :(

[Diphallia]

Hey Carl, take it easy.
Murder wont wolve anything, (actually it will, but not everything) so keep doing art on your free time.

Leta upp ett krokiställe vettja!

[algenpfleger]

Haha fuck those idiots man, what do they know. Nothing. YOu know what Bobby Chiu did, an Cole Eastburn, and all the other guys. Grow a spine, grab your fucking pencil and then show those bastards what you can do :)

Btw, I hear the same bull shit aaaaaaall fucking day long :D
