Привет! Отличный апдейт и как всегда развернутый ответ) Спасибо за линк, боян бояном но для меня ново, не встречал в сети. Очень вдохновляет, еще один шажок к званию художника) Я тут над над 2 персами мучаюсь, а та ссылка была приятным отступлением. Рисоват маслом это моя мечта. Пока что правда места нет и ресурса на расходныен материалы. Но масло очень нравится, такое живое) Люблю рассматривать фактуру картин. Ты как раз напомнила что надо бы в галлерею сходить на новые работы художников посмотреть, нельз отставать от мейнстрима)
По поводу гномонов и блэков я нарыл кучу всего но надо сортировать. Хотя у них есть очень интересные вещи. Я например использую программу алчеми для генерации идей и развития фантазии, у них поцепил)) там один чувак такими бессмысленными штрихами и рандомными линиями по 100 листов зарисовывадл потом в них идеи рассматривал. Мне этот подход понравился пользуюсь сейчас).
Кстати если хочешь у меня аська есть 369993534, можно ссылками обмениватся и все такое) Буду агетировать тебя стримить)))

starting coloring of the CHOW, a lot of work to do... but I have to finish it tomorrow.



And last 2011 sketches from moleskine, next time I'll post 2012 sketches! Yay!

...Also I'm afraid I'm watching too much Supernatural while drawing so I may draw a fanart one day... I want to steal Dean's car!!!

CHOW update

[b-dawg]

Here's my final CHOW pic. There's a lot of mistakes but I'm too tired of it, it's too difficult for me to finish such drawing in only 2 days

[pebbles]

love your new updates! great job on coloring the plus size woman and enviros from the previous page!

[Rotor]

I'm not sure if the lighting you intended is playing tricks, but to me her head seems a tad too small for her body, mainly it's her jawline that bothers me. Also check the various muscles of the forearm and how they interact, though her form is soft. If you're tired of it don't mind though, maybe this is something you can consider in the future.
Looking good, and good luck with the CHOW.

[Obacmar]

Thx for the support @ my sketchbook. Your stuff is amazing to me, thankyou for drawing.
The creativity is next level. What do you plan to do with all your skill/ambition/talent?

[asa]

your sketchbook is amazing
insane drawing and rendering skills

[GEB]

That last one is HOT! Love the face. Health and safety nightmare! Though she's not in the environment to me. I think frome the way she's sitting we should see a little more of the top side of that box thing. Also if she was effecting the material that would help to sell it. I think you should bring the floor candles forward a little to give some depth of field and catch the outside of her right leg with some rim light, this would help to bring it forward away from the box she sat on

[b-dawg]

pebbles
Thank you!

Rotor
Thank you very much for help! Some of my friends are confused with the size of her head but it's 7 times in her body I think it's her legs and small feet that are confusing people. Haven't seen this picture for a while and now her forearms seem to me like sausages >_< Thank you for placing my attention to that area, I'll definitely take it into consideration!

Obacmar
Thank you very much! I'm planning to develop my concept art skills and work as a concept artist or illustrator in game development.

asa
Thank you!

GEB
yay, thanks a lot! Her right leg (which is less seen) was a big problem for me but I didn't even have a mirror to reference myself (though I'm not that... plus size) so I've drawn it from head... a fail, as you can see.
Thanks a lot for information about color interactions, if honest I was too afraid to place those colors on her body cos it'd cause mud. But her legs are mud even without reflections I'll rest from her for a month and revisit this pic. Thank you!

Hello guys! Haven't been here for a while.

It seems that I found new job! I've been to the interview and now I need to accomplish a test task. If they like it, I'll be in and my portfolio challenge will be finished! Yay! This weekend is going to be one of the craziest in my life cos I'll be drawing like hell... but I really want to get that job, so... I'll have to lack sleep for a couple of days

Here go some of my january sketches:









A test of program "Illuststudio", it's a cool one for painting



And a photo which I did in Maratea, Italy from a mountain. Just to remind that there'll be summer soon

[GEB]

It's true colour is fucking hard! Trying not to lat it become a murky mess... I guess we just have to get used to failing more than we win. It's all in the game mo fo!

[b-dawg]

Here's a storyboard I've been drawing for last 2 days. Please tell me which story do you see I want to understand if it's readable. My first storyboard by the way.

It's without the 1st screenshot because I haven't done it yet. It's supposed to be well colored as an illustration. Hope I'll manage to finish it today *__*

[b-dawg]

A quick colored sketch of one storyboard pic. Will draw it as an illustration.

[b-dawg]

[rich4rt]

congrats man, cool stuff

[p sage]

Are you around here anymore, now that you hit the big time? Love the work in the last year... the realistic Beavis-and-Butthead made me chuckle. Thank you

[b-dawg]

Hi again, guys!

Thank you all for all those kind words that you've ritten for me some time ago. Hope you're doing okay I've been away for a while but now I'm back. Hope I'll stay longer this time
Lots of things happened to me but I'd better be silent about this. I'm having a very tough time now, hope it won't last for too long.

Here's some of my recent stuff. I have a little pile of it but will post in small portions

a rotting monk for an rpg (WIP):


part of a storyboard for a video for game Rise of Heroes:


cartoonish isometric stuff:


small illustrations for the game XEX online:


illustration for CCG Berserk:

[b-dawg]

Moar pics, here are concepts for the game XEX online and one for the little fantasy game.

[b-dawg]

I did a postcard for New Year 2013. The main requirement of the client was "pin up", so I decided to mix up pin up, Russian national costume and black snake - symbol of 2013 year. Don't know if it's finished yet, maybe I'll take a look at it tomorrow and bring some minor changes.

Here are another postcards made from my paintings:


There was an exhibition-festival of digital art named Art Park in Moscow. I was one of participants, here's my badge:


One of my paintings was exposed on that exhibition (will post the file later):

[b-dawg]

Some random "shaman"\necromancer stuff and an illustration for CCG "Berserk"

[AshGUTZ]

Solid character designs, I love your ability to make themed characters while keeping them their own and differential. Your contrast in your images is also something I could do with observing more, wonderful job. Thank you for allowing us to watch you!

[pebbles]

Hello B-dawg. Wlcome back. I'ts strange that there's no activity in your thread now. You did a visible level up and started drawing something different from characters that you've done before. I especially like your last post. You should color thst character.
I wanted to ask you one thing, this is what you did for your skill up, can you give me some advices? I'm drawing for several years and visiting work shops and courses but it doesn't seem to help me a lot.

[n1frit]
