Whitevillage: Thank you :)
algenpfleger: Thanks algen.. I don't think I'm good at characters ^^', they are always a big challenge for me.
Bone-Candy: Thank you for the kind words.
zulu: Will try and get more updates going. Cheers :)
Sarxous: Thanks, I love epic things haha =D
jedininjaman: :D
Punchy: Thanks Punchy!

Well here is a small update while I finish off all the other wips I have laying around. Had a few things come up hence why a slower update than I hope for.

[Blue Severin]

mm, not much to crit, you're killing stuff again. On the chick with the staff, I might use that yellow line to silhouette the bottom of the staff, but that's nitpicky shit, on a speedy sketch.

[openanewworld]

man your drawing and coloring just get better and better, that Sargent study is insane, environment is so great, more studies on human anatomy can bring your character design more solid I believe, 5 stars from me

[algenpfleger]

Dude you freaking rule O_O But openanewworld is right, if you're not good at characters then do characters!

[Jackwhat]

Your environments really are mindblowing! I've been wondering lately of a good method to get industrial/repeating shapes into my paintings. Currently i stick to pretty much default brushes (chizzled/soft edge) - so when im doing a building study or something less organic it becomes harder than it should be.

What would your process be like on something like Station complex? - if you can expose these lovely secrets! :3

Rock the fuck on though dude.

[Hideyoshi]

Punch in the face, kick in the butt and flashkick to the heart!

O;O

[David F.]

The Sargent-like stuff is awesome.

One day I hope to communicate that kind of freshness too.

Rock on.

[Fishspawn]

Hey Pavel! I meant to post about the last update but i never got around to it XD You're rocking these enviros - you've got a good focal point going there. I think you could work your compositions a lot more and have the eye dance around your painting more. Just make each element more strategically placed in your composition. Right now i see you using detail and a little color to put a focal point in there. there's one on the previous page that has more dynamic lighting (the one with dragons flying around) - I think it's much stronger. Push your light and shadow more and push your use of form - you're relying a lot on silhouette and color.

With characters, just use the same stuff you're using to make your enviros strong - put in a focal point and develop it a little more. And don't be afraid to use more dynamic lighting! Enough diffused stuff all the time, let's see some cast shadows and highlights in your environments and characters. Check out mike hernandez' use of light and shadow (and everything else XD): http://mikehernandez.blogspot.com/

Anyway, I'm all excited because I have had some great lectures on environments lately. I don't quite have the footwork in enviros to apply it all yet, but you do! So keep pushing yourself to try new stuff, you're rocking already, and there's so much more you can learn~

[Creatinity]

what a sweet sketchbook...
enviros are especially nice!
look very pro

[pennington]

DANG SON !! environments are rockin' hard. share the love, give us some tuts.

I just got a new wallpaper. (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=432968&d=1218286360) very good mood/atmosphere

[paberu]

Blue Severin: Hahah thanks Sev! Will do if I revisit that paint again.
openanewworld: Thank you! Will work more on anatomy. (your character stuff rawks)
algenpfleger: More character heavy paints are coming (including this update).
Jackwhat: Most of the harder/industrial shapes I do this way - make a new layer, lay in the general shape I want and chisel away at it with an eraser. You can probably do that with masks and stuff... but I prefer a more manual way. I just use a combination of round and oil/chalk brushes. Station complex was done that way too, just establish the mood and gradually build it up.
Hideyoshi: Haha common Lorenz, it wasn't that good :)
David F.: Thanks!
Fishspawn: Thanks Wes, you're right! Been working on those things, hope it will show in my work... awesome link btw:D.
Creatinity: Cheers!
pennington: Thanks, will try to get one up for next personal piece.

Anyway... It's been less than a month so I think I'm improving my update speed. Well here is some stuff (will try to make the next update a bit better):

Colour study:
501671

Some more colour studies (15 - 30 min each), hope no one will notice these
501673

And another one (yeah muted the palette in this one...)
501674

[J.roxanne]

wooo....

amazing~

[J.roxanne]

i really want to say more to Praise you ,but i'm not good at english..

are you a girl? see your works i feel that way ...and japanese ??

[Hideyoshi]

Haha, I think you're not really aware of how good you actually are already... ;)
Last one is supercool! Your solid line quality is nicely evident in your paintings! Got some skeches...?

[paberu]

J.roxanne: Hahaha thanks :) .... I'm actually russian and a guy.
Hideyoshi: Thank you Lorenz, actually I haven't done a traditional sketch for a long time... I learned to paint before drawing so my lines are pretty horrible usually (well trying to shade usually what kills me). I'll try doing some again now that photoshop has a rotate tool.

Well another update! Hope I can keep updating this frequently.

A self portrait... it's been so long since I did one and I guess the result speaks for itself (doesn't look like me). Had fun anyway :) - , inspired by Zhanglu, think I will do more. If anyone else was confused too, I'm not a girl or japanese haha.

506832

Another character based paint. Enjoy!

506833

[young paddy1]

Really beautiful painterly style you have going on in here , the volcanic thing and the last one are especially good when it comes to use of light.

Just minor things with them though, the volcanic one looks more like a hillside town that's been bombed in to the darkages by the little planey jobs, which thinking about it is more of a titling conflict. And the fencer girl could do with something/someone to be looking at, she's drawn her sword for no apparent reason.

Goddamn can you do studies, they're not photorealistic but somehow get across more than the original, with a definite injection of your own style.

real sweet work

cheerio

[Fishspawn]

Dude those color studies are rockin. I think the self portrait definitely has more structure than your old ones but you really need to get specific about the features. Go in there and measure angles and relative distances! Cool stuff man, keep up the hard work.

[Blue Severin]

damn you Rayk, kicking way too much ass. The Character based paint of the face is alright, kinda a young Russian looking dude, but the self portrait of you in a dress with a sword definitely makes you look like a japanese girl :P

[pennington]

damn you Rayk, kicking way too much ass. The Character based paint of the face is alright, kinda a young Russian looking dude, but the self portrait of you in a dress with a sword definitely makes you look like a japanese girl :P hahaha.
Great color studies. I wish I knew anything about color. the character with the sword, she doesn't seem to be standing on anything. It has to do partly with the plane of the feet, but also because she has no shadow. but it has great colors and brush work. definitely makes me want to paint more. cheers

[paberu]

young paddy1: Hey paddy! Thank you for the critique, you're very right - thinking out paintings is probably my weakest point. Glad you like my work :)!
Fishspawn: Thanks Wes! Will give another few a go soon.
Blue Severin: :P hahaha, shush you!
pennington: Cheers man, it does look odd now that you mention it....

Well another weekly update :). I was asked so my process, so this week I'll put one up for the fencer girl. If anyone is interest, next week I'll put up the process for pipe place(but with less writing >>) .

Note: Please excuse my awful grammar, typos and spelling mistakes.
=======================

514058

I usually start of by loosely laying the idea I have, concentrating more on colour and rough composition/shapes. I find getting the right colours in from the start helps to avoid many headaches later on. Since I mostly concentrate on lighting and mood, I don't thumbnail, instead I find playing with colour and shapes helps me arrive to where I want quicker and with less pain. I find that it's slower and harder for me to go from black and white to colour, so I don't bother with that mess and work straight in colour.

My brush use varies from painting to painting, here I stuck with the round semi opaque brush initially.

514059

Once I'm happy with the mess I've made, I start to loosely refine the shapes. From here I start using a variety of brushes to help me establish hard/soft edges, colour opaqueness and texture. Although sometimes I start of with a variety of brushes and then switch to one or two till I'm done.

514060

Now it's just refining my painting and introducing few more colours to help make the image more readable. By this stage I'm trying to watch my distribution of detail to help with the eye flow.

514061

Final, I could probably take it further from here but I usually have more ideas that I want to start painting. I think that it's important that you make sure you do long and short paintings as both are very vital to an artist growth! (don't fall in the trap of only doing speed paintings, or only doing refined long paintings).

I don't adhere to one process as I think it's bad, so I try to do something different each painting that I do. This way I think you have a better chance of learning something new and getting better. I used to be afraid of trying new things! So don't make that mistake, try out as many different ways as you can!

=======================

Well I hope some one found this helpful (I don't think I'm fit to teach anyone yet, but maybe this will help someone). I'm still learning myself - so if I'm making mistakes or people have ideas for me try please share!!! Cheers :yayca:

Anyway,

Started as a colour/painting experiment... hope it doesn't make anyones eyes bleed.

514062

Ciao!

[algenpfleger]

4 Stars? D: Why's that?

Dude you rule! Last post is awesome, your workflow seems really healthy :)

[paberu]

algenpfleger: Hey Algen! glad you like the last update :)

Small update this week (trying to keep the weekly thing going). This was a colour study that kinda went off to it's own course... Will try to make next week update BIGGER :yayca:

[Kian]

Some great work here mate. Nice 'n' painterly

[Niku]

HIYA, it looks like you improved since your join date til now, your pretty much a killer in envo, somewhat in anime and life, but you killed yourself with sp's but overall I like you enthusiasm w/ art, makes me wana do a sp. Since your good with envos could tell me one thing you noticed the most in doing them¿ .-.

[Punchy]

I can't believe I didn't meet you at the workshop though. But then I hadn't checked out your stuff until now. Will you post in this thread (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=142220&page=2)? Maybe i did meet you!

MeTaL-Mike: Cheers, here is another one.

Argh sorry for not updating people, I've been busy with stuff. I have a few personal WIPs that I'm holding off until I'm happy with showing them, so for now are some colour studies! These colour studies were done with as tasks for Herman (openanewworld - http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=77931&page=31 ) to help him learn colour (in return for helping me with anatomy).

Thanks so much for all the feedback, next update will be personal stuff :)

Well I've been on holidays away from computer and civilised world and then when I came back I fell sick so I ended up making hardly any work during my break.

Anyway, 2009 now - have a few wips to finish off that I started last year and then it's go time! My aim is the same as always - keep pushing onwards!

Well here is a tiny update to kick off this year. Cheers (´･ω･｀)

http://www.artbypavel.com/ca_imgs/morning_dialogue_180806.jpg

And I liked it so much I put it as my wallpaper for my phone and desktop, haha.

And now.. wow! Really, the enviros have grown so much, it's amazing.

[DanielC]

Very nice man ! Keep it up !

[MasqueradedSin]

you have some gorgeous paintings here.

[petitemistress]

gorgeous!
I cant get enough of those enviros!

[Dahami]

You have vision, and have mastered the skills you will need to create concepts, at least as far as environments are concerned. Great stuff!

[Peter Berkovski]

love your work man, the last one is wonderful
best regards

[Huey Yeng]

Great job on those environment designs! :)

You have improve a lot since you started this thread few years ago and is nice to see the changes from the work you've show to us.

Will love to see some exploration on characters if you don't mind. :P

[dkounios]

clicked on an image on the front page of CGhub and it was yours... went through all your work on there and wanted more. checked to see if you had a website, and it led back to my favorite place in the world, here.

So I went through your sketchbook.
And I gotta say that I love your process and how you achieve all your final results. Textures, lighting.. enviros, characters... everything. Love it love it love it.

I can't say that I'm shocked you had positive reviews throughout your SB. So here's another! please keep going!!

[Kristo Novo]

your enviros are damn good - thx for sharing your stuff
keep us updated

[bumskee]

these are looking friggin awesome! woah! *save save*

[areve]

mm your sketchbook makes me happy <3

[Chuck,mate.]

I have no idea how you do what you do but-
keep on doing it. this SB of yours is a delight.
your sceneries are spectacular. wow.

more!

[paberu]

Andrade, D@niel, algenpfleger, Blue Severin: Thanks guys, you are too nice!
majaiku: Haha yeah that's one pretty old drawing!
DanielC: Cheers, will do!
MasqueradedSin, petitemistress: I'm glad you guys like it :)
Dahami: Thanks! I'm working on my characters to bring them up to the same level.
Peter Berkovski: Thank you
hueyyeng: Thanks, there is some character stuff coming, promise!
dkounios: Haha wow, what a journey through the internets :) Thank you for your kind comments, will work hard!!!
Kristo Novo: Will do! thank you.
bumskee: Min you are a funny one ;) (I wish my updates were as hardcore and full of awesomesauce)
Chuck,mate.: Thanks mate :D Will keep going forward!!!

WOW guys, thanks so much for all of your kind comments! I'm feeling lots of pressure not to disappoint any of you, please kick my ass if I do (half the reason why my updates take so long to do....).

Today is a VERY special day for me, it marks 5 years since I embarked on this journey to become an artist - started painting and drawing with my trusty Intuos2 (sadly I wasn't part of ca back then)!

I have to say, this was the best decision I have made thus far in life. It's been an incredible journey and I can't wait to see what's to come! So yeah, this post marks off the 5 year milestone, it will be really interesting to look at this post in 5 years time :).

So here is another finished wip, I'll try to make my future updates a little more substantial as I feel bad about putting out one crummy thing every so often...(I blame work and ndas!!!!):

590494

[PieMonster]

It's cool to see how much progress you've made over the years. The last one is really good! I don't think you should worry too much about disappointing, hehe. :)

[algenpfleger]

Whoooooooooooooooooooo congrats on the five years man! Looking awesome there, how's it gonna look in another five? =0 Keep rocking!

[Call0ps]

5 years already? gosh time flies... the constant hard work for those years paid off, but the journey only began =) keep it up man!

[Max Challie]

rayk is currently viewing this thread?! Well I hope you're updating! :D

The colours on the last one are fantastic, love the dual moon thing too, it sets a great scene which tells an interesting story.

[Josef K.]

wow looks awesome! congrats to the 5 years! keep sharing man!

[Blue Severin]

you're a far ways from an asskicking right now.

[Fishspawn]

Hey man congrats on the 5 year milestone :D You keep getting better! On the most recent one I think the guy makes a tangent with the pillar in the background - I'd move him to the right a little more so his head silhouettes against the water in the distance. Your color and form keep getting better, keep it up - don't be afraid to make more updates, I doubt you'll let anyone down ;)

[Bengiskhan]

Wow, you're last piece is gorgeous, make me feel like roaming on "The road" like in Cormac Mac Carthy's book, same mood ;)

Congrats

[J.roxanne]

hi~~

and ... can you tell me waht Software you used ??

and what the Brush you often used ?

i like your style so much~~

thank you!!!

[Camara]

Delightful SB!!I am enjoying every page!

Will we ever see you back in EoW?

[ashgnouf]

hiya rayk...
u got amazing stuff...

PieMonster: Thanks!
algenpfleger: I'm hoping much much better, I'm still such a big n00b.
Call0ps: Thanks :)!
Max Challie: Cheers! yeah... I'm updating (about a month later)
Josef K.: I will, thank you!
Blue Severin: Thank you Sev!
Fishspawn: Thanks Wes, you and Sev both rock : ).
Bengiskhan: : ) thank you
J.roxanne: I use photoshop, and brush... well I use a few - mainly some chalk, round and soft brushes, also some smudge brushes.
Camara: Thank you!
Hyptosis: Cheers man!
waronmars: I should probably work harder too.
chuck18mp: Cheers! Actually I don't use Sennheiser anymore, I've upgraded to Audio Technica. My current cans are: ATH-AD900 and ATH-ES7 (recommend both of them!).
revenebo: Hey there! Thanks for the comment, I remember you from those EOW days :D I think I'll pop into EOW one day again...
ashgnouf: Glad you like it!

So, another really lame and small update, I figured it's probably better than not updating at all...Part of the reason is that I've been addicted to Peter F hamilton - Pandoras' Star and now I'm on to Judas Unchained (awesome books, epic, awesome!!). Again sorry for the long wait, hope next update will happen quicker!

Can't believe this thread has not 5 stars.
The environments are fantastic - make me dream instantly how it would feel to be there. I don't have that with many concept pieces.

Lovely updates rayk, and happy five years !!! :steph:

Well holy crap. Nice work :)

Lovely sketchbook!

[ilmenhin]

Oh man, in your first couple of pages - your enviros are really awesome. Perspective, colour, angle... it all looks convincing. It would be great to see you work on those (so I can learn too xD). Hmmm... you're not too far away.

Your most recent stuff have shown so much improvement; encompasses people well into given settings and there's like all this story to tell from each piece of artwork~

[rumpenstiltzkin]

Hello :teeth: what a wonderful SB, I can only dream of getting as much clarity and detail in each piece as you do, can't wait to see what else you dream up.

[Kurt.Y]

You r awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[Alexandr Pascenko]

woah that is mindblowing! awesome work guys! :heart:

[Danny_K]

Just finished browsing through your adventures, man what a leap of improvement within a quite short time, I wish I would start my studies when Herman, Bumskee, Idiotapathy, you were on their beginning I feel I missed all that, but hey you can't change what was, I have good friends that are progressing with me and it's a great thing.
Love your work and I'm totally inspired by your enviro's and the fact you got a job when you were still in your diapers is totally giving me hope, thanks!

[Krato]

i would tell you to update more often but it will probably be a year or two before you even read this :p

[AlexEh]

[LAL]

[paberu]

Thank you all for the very nice comments :sungod:

I'm doing fine, just slowly crawling along my art journey - there is still a lifetime left of things to learn. It's kinda hard for me to update, so I don't know when I will update again next time. Probably, I will try to keep my blog updated more frequently however.

So yeah, here is a small update

Awesome character drawings man! The poses rock, so dynamic. Great lines too.

[Max Challie]

YAY!! You have returned. And you have been missed, sir! I love your stuff.
Just a crit for that last enviro, is that the girl's shadow is directly below her when the light seems to be coming from the top-left
Really like the way you draw a character then put them into an environment in a smaller size, great technique. And how the whole surroundings fit right in!! Seamless..

[MatejaPetkovic]

So what happened in one year or so, maybe you can update us? :)

[tehmeh]

[Koto]

I love that cut-away environment! I can imagine exploring that in a video-game, dodging traps and finding treasure.

[PieMonster]
