[bloodbrush]

@ Hurricane: thank you for your comment, yeahhhh i will post more!!!


I just have doodled around and i finally got it: a painting technique that fits to me!

first image:
me <3 painterbrushes - here i drew some non-ref armsketches, and when i coloured 2 of them, i realized that i found the painting technique that belongs to me!!!! weeeeeeee

second one:
this sketch was done on oc to test whether this painting style is related to teh special brush on painter ix... and tadaa, fortunately it's not :D the eventfile is downloadable

edit: third image:
aye..something strange i created and the colouring over here is nothing special...

[ThabisoMhlaba]

[Justin.]

[bloodbrush]

Keep truckin dude. Let's see some life drawing.

yeah i will!
you are absolutely right, i should upload some lifedrawings.
i am going to do so as soon as i got my works from my youth-artskool back!

until then i show you my current sketches:

1: painting is soooo fun! i love it
2: dhalsim fanart, me <3 CAPCOM (and marvel) WEEEEEEEEE
3: scrap done in ca's sketcher ^_^
4: basic construction!

[moopuff]

Nice stuff.
I liked that...progress thing. I need to work on my anatomy some more too, now that you've made me think about it...

[Justin.]

Dhalsim is sweet.

An Idea is to try painting or drawing your hand at least once a day- more if possible.

It's the easiest way to get some life drawing in each an every day!!

[bloodbrush]

thanks moopuff ^^

oh yeah, great idea, thx!! muahahaha

[bloodbrush]

i was f*cking too lazy do draw 10 days, so i only drew 5 <(*-*<)
but this day i learned soooooooooo much.
i have read this awesome article by rebecca kimmel about opposing curves again and i tried it on everything i drew :D
plus i have tried adapting the capcome colouring style which amazes me every time i see it. it's not entirely the way the artist (whose name i still don't know) has done it, but it anyway improved my colouring skills.

on the colouring pic i have added the references i used. (they are fkdlsjdlkf great! can anyone tell me who drew that?)

[Dile_]

Damn tit, your damn good!! Cool :)
I really loves the lines of the last hands! Keep it up *bookmarked*

[MrBobMarley]

Like your book man! You'll only get better, just keep focused on it and learn as much as you can from the forum.

[bloodbrush]

1: warmup... LOL
2: warmup as well, but a bit more serious ;D
3: SF's Guile, character and colouring study
4: fast hand sketch, very pixely
5: hand and colouring study
6 and following: trying to get looser and testing this smooth brush setting
last one: again colouring studies

[bloodbrush]

yo everyone.....
I WANT TO IMPROVE!!!! BETTER ANATOMY GOGOOGOG:

1st pic: i think this way of painting is the my most natural one. so i guess i keep on colouring like that

rest: anatomy stuff with reference (gottfried bammes)

[hurricane]

good studies, keep at it!
cheers

[bloodbrush]

good studies, keep at it!
cheers

YEAAAAAAAAA....-EEEEAAAHHHHH....-EHHH!!!!!!! :bashful:

today i was practicing drawing the bust...
1. using bammes as reference and trying to get this bust in my head >_<
2. i was watching the gnomon video of feng zhu, and i saw his background was grey. on his video he was talking about good silhouettes. thats why changed my background color on painter as well. here i also tried finding interesting shapes, nonref.
3. edit: i was searching for a project, a non-commercial one... and i have found a group creating a browser game. they want me to design characters for the different races. so i just sketched a bit and finished the first idea. dudes, he is sooooooo U.G.L.Y, but w/e :D

[TheGnoll]

keep it up, this is a promising sketchbook.Got anything not digital to show?

keep em coming

ciao

4: when drawing i have to capture the volume and NOT JUST copying 2d like noob
5: animehead + dream effect

K! that's it for now =)

[Hyver]

good show! keep finding those kickass silhouettes, and keep doing those anatomy studies.
when doing color studies, try to use more bold colors that steer away from the usual pink/brown hues that one associates with "real" skintones

[ThabisoMhlaba]

yay more sketches

[Tigermilk]

great work man, would be cool with some pencils if you got?
Solid coloring!

thank you! i am currently busy because of high-school, but i promise i will post many pencil sketches =) i was going to do some studies from life anyway

[bloodbrush]

damn highskool, makes me be busy all the time!
w/e ;p

okay, what i have realized the last weeks is, that i couldnt really draw.
since i started learning more about art, i only saw the technical side of art, how to construct things, color theory etc.

but what i needed is the experience, drawing with intuition, getting away from all those constructions. i guess i have to learn drawing all over again and this is the the first step i've done:

[Chance.]

Hey!
Sorry I didn't post in your sb the first time I came through here, that was terrible of me.

Wow, Your Line work is great and the photoshop stuff is coming along amazing to. (worlds ahead of me anyway) I have twice browsed through here faster than I wanted to. I can't wait till I get an opertunity to look through this stuff in greater detail. Have you ever played the Soul Caliber games? Some of the streetfighter stuff reminds me of the art in that. Excellent work.

Can't crit anything at the moment. It all looks too good. I'll try to find something later. Keep up the work. Post every day.
I will be back soon. 8)

[Chance.]

SSG's are for posting in your buddies sb's as often as possible so here I go again.

You have got to help me with my photoshop painting. Your style is awsome, and I can't figure out how you get it to look like that.

How are you using the opacity settings? Do you have them set to the stylus pressure? In this last post for example how many colors are you using? Are you using a hard brush? If not what brushes are you using?

Alright I'll stop there and let you aswer those before I ask any more.

By the way, you can draw alright, don't question that. I think maybe you are saying that you want to put more emotion into your art. Rather than looking at it from a strictly technical view, you want it to be an expression of yourself. Is that what you are trying to say?

[Listing]

Nice work. Really interesting study. Keep on it, you're improving quickly.

[bloodbrush]

thx dudes

new stuff

[bloodbrush]

had to draw them at 6 am at the morning for art lesson >_<

[Haxxxor]
