"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

Throwing out all the old stuff

WELCOME AGAIN and HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

It's been some time, sorry for that. Life just ain't easy some times, and even if you have the time to fetch your hobbies in theory, life practice dosen't always work that way. So, thanks to all the people who are still following me, and sorry to all those who worried I might have given up here. A big hug to all of you!! (Also, if there would come the time I might REALLY give up on the blog or the story, I would let you know, bc it really unsettles me when people just stop posting. Who knows what happend to them??)

I even did some stuff, I just didn't manage to post it. Including some weird color experiments, YAY! So, new year, fresh start and let's throw out all the old stuff that was waiting in my little blogfolder to be shown to the world, wheee :D

Lets start with some bloodwork!

 

I like this picture very much. It's more a what-if than a piece that might happen in a story but I really really like how the colors turned out in this one.

And now let's go straight to the color experiments! :D


I think the one in the middle is my favourite, but I also like that weird pink thing on the right. Doing these was so much fun! :D Short after them, I made this one:

That might even be the same colors like the on above :D I love this one very much, although the colors ain't fitting the picture regarding content, but HEY! So much fun!

So, and in the end, we have some studies for light and composition, which ain't that exciting but I'll show you anyways ;)

I actually had some reference for these two but by now I lost them... :( I'll link them as soon as I find them! >o<

And that's it!!  YOU MADE IT TO THE END OF THE POST!! I am so proud of you! XD
So seriously, thank you for reading the whole thing.
Thank all of you for the loud or silent support!
I love you guys! Take care of yourselves!

Have a nice day! <3

A portrait of a fellow student

Heyho everyone! :D

I'm here again! ^^ After some cramped time with moving out and moving in there is some light on the horizont that it might be better soon. YAY!

But I still need to find a desk and a chair so that I can work on my PC again (yeah, I see the benefits of a laptop now... but who wants to work on a cintiq using a laptop?! 8D)

Anyways, some while ago (like, MONTH) I made a scribble of one of my teammates, because she is really pretty and wears such cute chlothes and has a great style so I just had to draw it XD

And finally worked it over in ps (getting better with digital inking, YAY). 

So, meet Beyzar! :D

Also, she wears hats! Instant bonus points in sympathy XD
What do you think? ^^
Love you all! :D

And finally.... Meet Locks! :D

Ohai guys! :D

Please welcome the final main-main character, whose story that comic will be! :D

Tadaa :D
He likes stuff to be simple ;) The other things he likes are coffee, cigarettes, sports, Emma, Otis and his cat. There are grounds for the assumption that his wadrobe includes only his uniform, some black t-shirts and trunks, and, like, 20 times the same white shirt and jeans. But that's just a wild guess XD
And again, any wild guess? ;D

Meet his friends Emma and Otis, too  ;)

So! Now I'm off to cologne, RPC anyone? :D

Have a nice weekend! ^^

The craving for vengeance is born

Hey hello people!

Yesterday my beloved graphic tablet payed the debt of nature. May it rest in peace. Beware! Even wacom tablets will get broken if you soak them in coffee a night long...
That happend some time before. Actually, inbetween it was working fine and I forgot about that accident, but I unscrewed it after it did nothing (or better, nothing normal) anymore, and there is rust and/or oxidation on the active surface, so...
Handle your grapic tablet with care! They can work fine for more than just 4 years. Seriously! >_<

Okay, enough of this. I scribbled with pencils again! :D
Meet this amazing vengeful lady:

...guess pencil will forever be my tool number one... ^^;

Have a nice day! :D

Making stuff (or even pretending to while thinking about Iron Man)

Titledesign, to be specific.

Yep! I went from my illustration class and am in the film/animation class now. YAY! This semester's topic is title design, and we're doing front credits for an animated film about a dancing boy ;)
ANIMATION. YES!! ...which means our group will have to draw about 2800 pics to make the animation nice and fluid... .... ... yeah I don't want to think about that. DRAWING ANIMATION IS AMAZING! 8D Let's see how long it lasts till I'll write "Animation sucks!" XD
So that's the status from the studyfront 8D

Have some Otis now. Say hello! :D
And yes, doing strange stuff with his hands is his secret hobby ;) I really like his shirt and I think this time got the hair much better than much times before 8D
 Also, meet his pards Locks and Emma! :D 

Copic on marker paper, like so many times before  ^^; I should get over copics at some point. They're just f*cking expensive! >o<
 
 Have fun, a nice evening and a better weekend! XD See you soon! :D



PS: AFHAFLEWREKLSAFBHSDA AND HAVE YOU SEEN IRON MAN 3?! If not, go and see it. No, srsly. Except you're one of the people who can't stand changings from source material. But screw that, it's Ironman. 8D 

Portfolio, Part One :D

Yup, as promised. Pic-heavy!

First stack is a series of my favourite boots, starting with some sketches:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS!!!! :D

.... because art schools LOVE sketches and rough paintings and stuff. Hell knows why.

And some people might know parts of the finished ones allready cause I made them in ... January or so, and uploaded them somewhere I think :B

Pencil, soft pastels, copics, water colors and of course my new rock boots :D

There might be no post tomorrow cause I'm away all day, but on Thursday I'll be back.
Have a nice, warm summerday! XD

All girls love shoes! Right? ;)

....and I love mine with an extra dose of color ;D

You might allready know them from the comics or another picture at deviantart, but if you don't, dosent matter XD  (Go and find them!)

I really love these boots, they're shiny, they're comfortable, they're warm and they're yellow! :D
Outlines are made with Multiliners and Colo is made with Copics on marker paper, size A3. That's so far the biggest picture I've ever made with copics....

Aye, and I got more stuff to tell you! The poster from Amphibian Ark is out now! And there's a list of participating institutions by country on their site -> click here and scroll down <- So if you're planning to visit one of that zoos next time, keep your eyes peeled! :D ...and send me a photo ;)

Have a nice day! ;)

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
