Sorry for not updating more regularly. Heres a huge pile of the stuff i’ve been doing lately, the good, the bad, the ugly..

Finished my first cast a few weeks ago:

This is what i’m working on at the moment, i still have miles to go. It’s a pretty huge leap from the nose, but it’s pretty cool!

1,5h charcoal pose

1,5h pencil pose

20 minute poses. We are not allowed to shade or anything, just get the overall proportions down.

Forgot to post this one, my last bargue copy done in charcoal.

And heres something completely different that I did at home..

A tiny update..

Sorry for not posting more regularly, it’s not like i’ve not been drawing. Quite the opposite, I’m drawing 8-12 hours a day. So obviously theres a huge pile of stuff just waiting to be scanned and uploaded.

I even took a bunch of pictures of some figure drawings I did (they’re a3, so cant scan) but they turned out muddy, so I’m gonna make sure my light setup is better and take some new pics..

Anyhoo, heres two drawings I did for kicks, trying out some new techniques inspired by Veronique Magnaud. I Usually noodle a bit on them during lunch and while having my morning coffee

Blergh, im too tired to write.. but anyways, i’ve been drawing alot lately, sketchbooks are filled but it takes so much time to scan and upload. Time I could spend drawing instead But as usual I never make a post without an image so heres the finished character of the week concept I did.. Wish I didnt have to rush it in the end, but given the amount of time I spent on it I think it turned out okay.

Second bargue complete and a chow sketch!

Some stuff from my sketchbook..

I was flipping through my current sketchbook and found some stuff that I that was fun and that I wanted to share. I haven’t shared any traditional stuff for quite a while and I thought some of you might like em.

These are just random doodles and not very refined I guess… I usually draw stuff like this while watching/listening to the TV.. enjoy -.-v

Finished!

detailzz:

Some tweaking, getting closer..

Godamn I suck at doing environments.. really need more practice with it, but its not as much fun as doing characters :/

edit: continuing along

Managed to get some painting done after work today, really been enjoying this one. I hope it will turn out as good as I want to it be.

Finished chow 189, steam punk harem..

Started on this weeks topic today, which is morrigan.

Some stuff

Sorry for not updating in a while. Anyway, here’s some of the stuff i’ve been doin lately.

Finished CHOW # 179, had to rush it in the end, did the character in less than two hours.

some wips:

Heres a still life, (my first ever!) I did of my fallout 3 pip boy toy and some other stuff

A page from my life drawing sketchbook..

And last but not least, a sketch of this weeks chow. Steampunk Harem. My idea is that the Sultan has constructed these walking mechanical beds so he doesn’t have to run to each of the girls but can have them safely escorted by the machine. All new girls get a mask painfully attached to their face, the Sultan does not wish to see their faces, it makes them less human and there for okay to not treat them as one.
