Workshop Image Progression

Hi folks,

This is a progression image of a scenery for the “Digital Illustration – Concept Art” workshop me and a fellow artist Daniel Farin are giving this weekend in the Art School in Oldenburg, showing my steps on how to start on a painting from rough thumbnail to a more detailed version. I had the feeling that I needed to include something with a landscape. Didn’t turned out too well, think I need heaps more practice in that regard as well as natural light colour practice. Also see the higher res animated *.gif HERE. Still a rough one but it serves its purpose and I only show it for a few seconds while explaining.

Sadly/Fortunately all seats are already occupied, so no real chance to attend anymore. HERE are the workshop details however.
So excited how it’s gonna be tutoring the attendants. I’m really interested to see with how much experience they come and with how much they will leave.

This here is another image explaining a little more detailed how to progress and what to be aware of / what to pay attention to.

Sketchytime again!

Found some time this evening to get back into the habit of sketching on the computer again. After doing all this traditional work last week, that I won’t show here… probably… So this is just some quickies on four different humans in clothes, took 50 min, or so. Done with ps cs6 and a wacom.

I just recently realised, that I should stuff up my portfolio with more of the work I actually want to work for when clients are hiring me. So, clients, please hire me for “Creature and Character Concepts” for multimedia productions!

Time – Tattoo Design

A tattoo design I did for a friend of mine.
She decided to get another sketch of mine done on her skin, so this one’s not needed anymore.

Medieval Trader Sketch

A quick sketch of a medieval trader just to get back into painting serious things again.

Still work in progress.

Casual Cel Sketch

Just to tease a little bit, the main character of nightwall once again, this time in casual streetwear, which she would never wear. So basically more a test on how the characters in the comic could look like. Oh, right and she has blonde hair this time. I’m sorry Rory… Actually, they don’t look anything alike. Forget what I just wrote…

All of you have a good weekend!

Lunchbreak Doodle 3

Once again I found some time to do some sketchy stuff during lunchbreak.

Here’s the result, as always it ended up being a portrait… 😦

Sketchbook Bits – Part 4

Once again a few recent sketches. Did them during tle last week. Sketched in the train and under the sun.

This time in colour!

Sketchbook Bits – Tattoo Design

Hey world out there,
there’s a thunderstorm outside my door. Baad vibes and grey mood:(
But here as promised the page out of my sketchbook with the tattoo design I did for a friend.
I made it in varying sizes so she could decide how big she wanted it.

The motive is the New Zealand “Tui” a very common NZ bird with really nice feathers.
Made with a thin black marker and the sketched woman with a ballpoint.
