Blue Hood, Red Hands

Heyho everyone!

I'm back to drawing a lot in the last time, but unfortunately not much stuff I can post anywhere ^^° Sorry about that! But I'm also back to inking since I built myself a light box! YAY! That thing is helpful as fuck. And Idk but I think I prefer inking by hand over digital ink; but maybe it's just a question of the right brush settings (or a different tablet pen. Did I tell you my pen broke? I didn't realize how much I used that switch on the side until now. And now that switch is broken.... arfh. And these pens are fucking expensive....)

Anyways, after some hours fighting with the broken pen I had a result! :D




It's another character from the LO-Comicproject I drew some times before :)
And it turned out so great imo!! There was some fighting with details but I love the pose, the lines and I'm pretty happy with how the colors turned out :D Not that it has a big color palette but YAY XD
Maybe I'll print a poster with this at some point XD
And what do you think? :D

So, now get a big hug to all you people visiting my blog! ^^ Especially the silent ones ;) I love you all :D

See you soon <3

It's Wu again

Hello again everyone! :D

Last time was full of stuff again. I went to Berlin to visit some friends, met a friend I only knew online for years the first time in real life and went to the Making Games Talents in Munich. It was all great fun! :D
>>Also, if you read this, dear person I met at the MGTs, I loved your drawings!! Please contact me, bc you were really cool and unfortunately I don't have any contact info of yours, and I'd really love to see more of your comic! :D <<

So, enough of this (who reads this anyway) and more for drawings!

It's Wu again, and I somehow managed to deal with my long time enemy "black ink" - I really really love how the outlines look, and I think I worked out the colors fine, too.

Her hand is what I love especially of this picture. But allover, this is one of my favorite pictures I drew of her 'till now :D
Of course I did a pencil drawing underneath the ink, and traced to a more ink-friendly paper. Have a look at this:

 The pencil-version is more rough, and thou' I love the rough look of pencil, this is one of the very few moments I love the ink and color version more than the pencil picture.
What do you think? :D

Take care of yourselves! Eat more vegetables! No really, more and more people are ill here at the moment, so really, take care. 

I love you! See you soon! :D

WOOOOOOOSH HAIR

Hellas fellas!
So some time ago I was really excitet, because after that flop of getting into illustration classes I was going to work on an animated music video with a group. Unfortunately they're going with a live action idea now, which on the one hand is really cool, on the other hand not what I wanted to do in this group... damn. I like that project, it's very artsy black-white-gay-expressionism-stuff, but still...ANIMATION WHERE DID YOU GO

What to do?? Well if I can't do movie shorts, I'll go for gifs instead :< Remember my last post, where I showed you my new wallpaper? I thought it'd be cool if the hair was moving, and I couldn't sleep, so I did this:

But - I still couldn't sleep, and it bugged me that it was so stutter-y, so I did this one straight afterwards:

SO MUCH WIND IN THIS HAIR

WOOOOSH
YAY

What do you think? Which one do you like better? :D

Take care, see you soon <3

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! ;)

Copic resurrection

...successful!
I didn't use my copics for month now, and I was thinking about reselling them again, because digital stuff has its pros. But I nearly forget how much fun working analog is, and now I'm thinking of raising my copic colors and buying some polychromos... :'D

...and this is the result of the resurrection:

As said before, colors with copic markers. Outlines with multiliner on marker paper, scribble with pencil on copy paper. Pose inspired by Bleach :'D

The character will appear in the comic I'm working on - be curious... ;D
Criticism, anyone?

Have a nice day!

Very dark problems

Guess what about?

Yes - inking! 8D (no, I'm not writing about autum/winter depression here XD)

So there are several ways to ink something, and all of them look slightly or entirely different. And I'm struggling which way to go down with my comic, so....help? 8D

 Manual ink at first. Rough vs. clean lines. Both look cool, both are time consuming; for the rough one it's hard to find a balance between dirty and dynamic, the clean one will tax my patience. 8D

Digital ink. I think I won't go down this route, cause it's time time saving and consuming at the same time. You can correct till it's perfect, but for me it's hard to get a right stroke in the first place, so I'm correcting 90% of the time...

...or I just let ink be ink and go for pencil only. In that case, I need a good scanner ;)

Well, well.

What do you think? 8D

5000 CLICKS!!! and comic 'news' ;)

... and I have only boring stuff to tell you. But wow, 5000 hits on this blog. Thank you guys! :D

"Yeah you know, nothing is for free. GIVE US PICTURES."

Ya well... I don't really have some. No really. I have stuff to do. Studying, working... that kind of stuff, you know?

"We thought you're studying DESIGN! AINT THAT WITH PICTURES!"

Not .... yet???? Actually it's amazing how little we've done 'til now. The only subject which hits in with the power of a jumbo jet is Film/Animation, where we have to script, shoot and produce a commercial till the end of term. I mean, WHAT THE FUCK. THIS IS AMAZING.
Aaaand seems like a shitload of stress. YAY! Let's hope the rest of the subjects won't take too much space in the date book XD

But! Months ago I told you about that comic project I'm working on. I didn't forget that thing!

This is the status:

(don't try to zoom in, you can't read anything anyway ;D)
First rough storyboard of part one COMPLETE! 8D 'round 80 pages (4 pages per one sheet of paper), part 2 is on work and part 3 is written down and waiting.

Meet one of the minor characters, the amazing Miss Watson! 8D

 Okay, before you start to shitstorm me with "YOU STOLE THAT FROM ELEMENTARY!!!111ONE", that's not her real name. And I didn't watch the series (yet). ;)

So! The only thing I have to do now is work over these pages again, complete the other 2 parts, work over them again, draw them, ink them, scan them, correct them, letter them...... I have to go, I have a film project to do. Bye!! :D

Scribbling....

....and sketching all day long.


Okay, that was a lie, I was barely home today. But I made some sketch of that comic project I'm currently (trying to) working on.... It's kind of shitty because the four sites that are ready (except of the post-editing and lettering) are gone with the portfolio for Nuremberg. Which means I'll have them back by the middle of July or something D: (And than I have to terrorize a certain person with a A3 - scanner to scan that stuff for me... 8D )

But well, maybe I'll have about a whole chapter than... Let's say we'll see at the beginning of august how far I got ;) It's 8 sites by now, and it's growing fast - at least in my head XD

So, have a sketch now.

Edding and fineliner on a sketchbook page :D

Have fun!

Annoyed and stressed but productive and alive

Hey out there!

It's been a while since my last post, but I'm still alive and drawing - even if some things are stressing the shit out of me.
Once, none of the scanners in this works at the moment, and I have no idea why not. Last time I just plugged the one in and could work with it, now I de-and reinstalled it a few times and it still won't work , and the other one dosen't work for no reason too.
Second, I just buyed a PC. A great one. It's strong, it's shiny, it's incredible fast, and it obviously had a broken graphic board. -___-
And third, next week I've got my second portfolio presentation/qualifying examination and I still have to work on that...

But well. Enough bitching now. What would be a blogpost without pictures?

This is a teaser pic from a comic project I'm currently working on (and which is part of my portfolio, too). It's raw, cause I don't have the hardware at the moment, but there will be more the next time :)

What do you think?

Besides, cause of the examination, portfolio and yadda yadda stress stuff there won't be daily posts next time. But I'm looking forward to post minimum once a week, so you might have at least some new stuff to watch at :)

Have a nice week!

Stressed out but still living

Heyo everyone!

If anyone is wondering why I didn't blog yesterday, it was just because it was kind of stressful and I hope I won't go sick cause I keep having a strange headace. But I'll try to keep on blogging!

So, more couple-pictures! I like to draw people interacting with each other (which is one reason why I wanna become a comic artist) and I think it's even more enjoable if there are some emotions involved. Such as happyness, love, lust, courage, blah blah blah..... and anger, hate and despair, and I think much people focus so much on positive emotions and the negative emotions just take about one or two facial expressions and that's it.... I think I have to do some meme or something to that topic.

Big spontaneous picture! I was just scribbling with edding to try out some new marker paper and this is the result. That edding died half the way so I could do the shading... and I really like the pic, even if it's probably just junk and kind of a ten minute work...I don't care ^^

Have a nice day! :D

A third Art Noir

Hey out there!

So, I'm in an ink-phase at the moment, and so you will get some works of pure ink, colored ink or at least with inked outlines ;) Somehow, ink is more fun than I imagined before. It was more like I hated ink, cause every time I tried to outline something, I smeared over the lines so often that I couln't correct it with whiteout any more.And I hated ink so much because of that. XD

Anyway.

I like this black and white stuff. This one's made with black ink, brushpen and fine liner, and I think I should have worked with a nip at some details, specially the hair...

....next pictures will have more color again, I promise ;)

Have a nice day! :D

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

Finally, there's some winter coming 8D

Hi out there!

Because it was like -9°C today morning, I couln't draw more beach-fanservice-pictures (I always had to think if they wouln't freeze XD). Instead you get some well-packed guy, standing in heavy snow, talking to... someone on the phone. (He's one of the main characters from my wannabeacomic-story, by the way. Or maybe THE mainchara... and yes, he's old 8D)
Well, my boss kept on complaining about the snow (he said that it looks like confetti). and I guess I'm going to search for another brush for the snow at some point. If I will find one, there will be an updated version of this pic.... So, enough said, have a look! :D

So, what do you think?

Cheers
