"The faceless girl" - Part 2 - Color

Heyho everyone! :D

As I promised, the pictures from the post before - now in COLOR!



Color done in Photoshop. A klick will make them bigger as usual ;)

Again, I tried to illustrate different daytimes/light situations and surfaces - which is so much more easy with color. At last I with this pictures it was!

Pencil-outlines are always a little bit messy to work with, because you usually don't have the clear borders ink has, and with a black n white scan too much gets lost. I'm still trying to find a better solution here (suggestions and tips always welcome), even if I really like how they turned out here! :>
My favourite is the third one; I've always disliked grey and brown, but they look so great. I might even overcome the aversion against these colors, if they always turn out to be so harmonious ;D Do you have a favourite? :D

That's it from me now, see you soon ;)




Experiment bonus:

Take care!

"The faceless girl" - Part 1

Hello everyone! :D


No, this is not about horror monsters, sorry ;) It's more a little experiment; if you draw humans, the focus is nearly always on the face. Which is pretty logical, because it's where most of the communication is sourced from. as a result, most artists start with the head and face and build the whole picture around it, using the head as scale.
And while I'm not going that far to leave the head out completely, lets see how good you can transport a personality without seeing the face of the person!


These are the first three, and they will come in color, too. Two are allready finished, you'll see all three next week! ;)
As so often I used pencil and mechanical pencil on common drawing board; and I tried to capture some more unusual light or surface situations, like hard sunlight in the first, or the shadow on the water in the last one. It was not as hard as I believed, and I love every single one of them :D
If you have any suggestions of what light/surface compositions I should try, let me know in a comment!  \°o°/

That's it for now, stay tuned and take care.
See you next week in fresh color! :D

The good guys aka TEAM POLICE - Project LO

Hello out there! :D


Group photo time! XD I really like group pictures, but they're sometimes so annoying to draw ;) The only thing I love more is creating new characters, YAY! Seriously it's so hard to not bulk the story with unnecessary background informations about every single one of them XD .... but hey, short stories are always an option.. 8D

So, these are Captain Wu's best guys and girls ;)

Currently working on their profiles and storyboarding the first chapters .... building castles takes time.

See you next time! :D

YAY, another experiment!

Yay, splatter splatter bang bang BOOM!

Or, what happens if you find a rough lineart on your pc and have too many PS-brushes and patterns you didn't try out. 8D

What else? I'm in panic and looking for an internship (maybe I'll link you my portfolio at some point) and my life is a mess of moving out, fighting paperwork, finding money to buy food and similar stuff. Gah, I'll be so glad that this will be over soon.

...I guess I don't have much to say today. Stay tuned. See you next time. I love you all!

Welcome to the jungle...

....because why not.

I promised videos, but I still didn't post any. WHY?! Because of some uncertain reasons I cannot link them here, and we don't know for certain why, but since I don't have admin rights for the account they're uploaded on (it's the schools acc) I have to wait till others fix that problem. But it's worked on!

So anyways, have some weird experiment pic now. Still trying to get into digital painting. I don't even want to be photorealistic like others, but it's still tricky to make stuff look good.

So what do you think?
Cool or crap? Let me know! :D

See you next week ;)

Mah new PC wallpaper

YEEEEAAAHHHH!

Since I'm drawing basically nothing else than storyboards and rotoscoping, I'm actually getting better at sketching on digital surface directly.
So I started doodling around and after a couple of minutes I had my new wallpaper:

But since I have 2 monitors, I needed a second one and spend another 15 minutes drawing this.

They are rough and sketchy and spontaneous and I love them. Personally I think these are some of my best works of the last months. There may have been more complex and time consuming stuff, like the stuff I did for my courses, but this is how I love to draw. Only pencil is better.
 What do you think? :D

NEXT will be a complication of videos I've  produced with various teams on my courses, so you'll finally see what I'm doing all day long when I'm not posting on this blog ;)

Take care of yourselves!

First post of the new year ;)

Happy new year!

Yeahhh it's a little too late, but the last time was - is - still stressy... ^^° But I've got some stuff in the backhand I'll post at the end of semester so that you can see what I'm working on all day ;)

ALSO - For some reason, I couln't answer comments the last time, so pls don't be sad/angry that I didn't react, I'm working on the problem ^^; In the meantime you can stalk me on several other platforms and chat with me there ;)





So, what do I have for you this time...?
Composition-scribbles :D

The first one is my favourite :D

As I said before, I did the storyboard for my film classes and I really like the format. Also I love pictures that look like movie stills, when characters are not just posing or something but are acutally doing stuff... It's more dynamic and lifelike and everything, and I have a looooooooong road to go till I get there XD But it's fun! I hope I'll have some more time in the semester break...

So, serious stuff next time. Until then - Happy January! :D
Take care! ;)

Updated pic from yesterday, with different snow

Hi out there! :D

So, I finally managed to make myself a brush that looks a little more like snow, and unfortunately I had acually something to do at work, so I can't show you a new pic today. But there will be more tomorrow! ;D

Have a look at the new version:

....it's definitely more fluffy than the last one. And I kinda have christmas-feelings when I look at it now XD
What do you think, better? Worse? Nothing changed? 8D

Have a nice day ;D

A myyyyyyyystic forest

Hi out there! :D

Today is my birthday, but I have nothing spectacular for you these days, so I will just show you a pic I drew this morning. I think I got the mood, but I'm not 100% satisfied with that pic...But I can't even exactly say why. Guess I have to think about that some time.
But not today. ;)

Enjoy!
8D
And have a nice day, as always ;D

Cheers
