[HawkWinds]

Hello CA
Hopeing to get better at digital painting by doing lots of speedpainting. Advice and feedback would be nice.

Im going to dump aloada new stuff & old stuff of mine here.

Update: removed first posted pictures just to add a image that i want to appear in front of thread title. removed images will probably return soon.

[HawkWinds]

heres some more stuff ..

[oomgawa]

Good start on the digital painting, are you sketching it
on paper first? It is good that you are limiting your
color palette, especially like the monochromatic ones.

Keep painting!

[HawkWinds]

Thanks for the comment!

most of my paintings are done over a scanned in sketch from my sketchbooks. only some are done without and sketch.

there will be more new and old paintings to come.

[HawkWinds]

Heres some more.. the first 2 were done a few months ago.

the last 2 were finnished yesturday.

[Whitevillage]

Nice concepts you have. Maybe trying to blend the colours with more care? It's looking dirty in most areas.

[HawkWinds]

hello again!

WhiteVillage - I know what you mean about the colouring at the moment im not too good at colouring with alot of care. hope to get better.


Heres some more recent work done about in between now and 2 weeks ago.

First-
Me practicing colouring without reference. looks like Rambo V Dragon
Second -
Original sketch was for a DSG called Windy City for got to post it tho.
Third -
Colour practice using a reference photo.

[HawkWinds]

[HawkWinds]

New sketch done rather quickly this morning.

some sort of flying reseach aircraft. In a big cave.

I use Paint Shop Pro9 & Painter 9 if anyone wants to know.

[HawkWinds]

new sketch done quickly yesturday. Not that great but tis practice.

[HawkWinds]

Quick sketches. being a bit lazy.

[The Red Skull]

Its ok to be lazy!

You're making a great, strong start. Keep at it! Keep trying to add more and more detail to your work. Maybe make the canvas larger and work closer in. I like your ideas too. Good imagination.

Until next time, keep at it and eventually more people will notice.

[HawkWinds]

Red Skull - Thanks i dont usually work with a very large canvas size maybe i should. I do try to add more detail.

redone painting of an old one . first picture is the old version second is the new version.

[HawkWinds]

pretty quick. still its practice

[HawkWinds]

3 Quick paintings and 1 portrat practice using colour reference.

[funfetus]

You're well on your way -- pay more attention to perspective, and back off on the saturation a little. And don't draw your sketches in black -- use a color close to the base color of your image. It won't show through nearly as much when you miss spots when you paint over it. It'd probably also help to do some longer studies to round out the speedpainting. Keep it up!

[HawkWinds]

Small post since i havent posted in a while.

funfetus - Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

Im a Farscape fan so these were done by me sometime during this year.
oldest to newest.
and quite quickly painted ,each using a reference. but not using the colours from the references.

[HawkWinds]

heres some more all but the last one were finnished last year.
All of which i have not used references to take colours from.
all made for practice or because i wanted to draw stuff
+ I know my perspective isnt amazing atm

[HawkWinds]

Most recent stuff.
Im thinking i need more practice as always.
decending oldest to newest.

[HawkWinds]

Thought id do some painting practice by colouring movie still using the still for colour reference. From the film Heat if anyone dosent know.

I tried to do them quite quickly aswell.

[HawkWinds]

The first - was finnished a couple weeks ago and i think i spent too long on it. (i think i need some practice drawing leaves)

The second - Mainly trying to get Yoda, to look like Yoda.

The third - Painting using some colour refs from starwars.

The forth - Quick painting using a reference for colour.

[HawkWinds]

Thought id use up an old background painting that i had left around by putting a spaceship infront of it. Please excuse the bold lines

[HawkWinds]

Heres a Painting i did over my Brothers line art for a character of his.
(supposed to be some ganster/mob sci-fi robot with yellow eyes? i think)

[Brun]

Hey man, great stuff in here, great ideas,

your ideas are strong but u miss some techniques, u know the basics,

[HawkWinds]

Hello again.

Brun - Thanks! Ive bookmarked the tutorial so i dont loose it.

Heres another version of my brothers characters (painted over his sketch)
This one was kinda rushed and i think i over highlighted the figures.

[D@niel]

Cool ideas and amazing productivity! Bruns advice is solid, the basics are like your tools, and once you have the right tols you can paint anything!

[HawkWinds]

D@niel - Cheers, i hope i can grasp the basics soon enough

Portrait over a very bad sketch of my brother. I thought it was going pretty badly so this is where is finnished. (colour reference used)

[HawkWinds]

Something new. spaceship of somekind.

[HawkWinds]

[HawkWinds]
