Portraits from Imagination

11.03.2015:

Best day ever! I met with a new possible client today and it was great. He is really nice, knows exactly what he wants and we agreed on the contract :3 That said for the next two months I will be flooded with work, but I will try and keep up my daily sketches.

Yesterday evening I went to celebrate with a friend of mine over dinner which we also used to draw. I don't like the little fellow above very much but I learned a lot. You will see what I mean in my next upload tomorrow : )

After I drew the last sketch, I felt really bad because I didn't like it at all. That said as soon as I was home I sat down again and drew this little fellow. And I'm in love! I'm slowly getting the grasp of where to discontinue lines, where to increase their thickness and how to hatch. Also he looks like a man, which for me is amazeballs! Normally all my characters have one face which is very womanly, haha ^^

Viking Girl III.

22.02.2015:

And I revisited her yet again! =^.^= I sketched her back in Nov. 2013 in my back then new sketchbook as part of a contest. I never submitted the image, because she didn't look viking enough. But I always liked here.

I while later I painted her in photoshop again. But somehow messed up her face, which resulted in losing a lot of her character.

Now in regard of my personal challenge (inking and colouring all pages in my sketchbook) I revisited her again. She was already coloured, but very pale so I spiced her up. I really like how it came out and I'm getting more and more comfortable with copic markers.

Here the links to the old versions: sketch & digital

Character Portrait

09.02.2015:

After deciding to fill my sketchbook with color I still wanted to keep sketching and create new stuff. Simply now I would directly ink and color them so that my sketchbooks will never be grey again : D

One evening we had a lot of friends over for D&D and one of them asked me if that's a sticker book? (pointing at this page of my sketchbook) Haha. Due to the bold egg shaped background it must have seemed that way from afar^^

Webcomic - Initial Character Sketches

03.01.2015:

Happy New Year to yah all!!! =D

I hope you had a splendid Christmas and start in the new year. I'm currently brainstorming about a possible webcomic and therefor did some initial character sketches for my planned main character. It's all very loose in regard of storyline etc until now so don't know yet if it will be worth pursuing. We will see!

Color process

29.06.2014:

And the month is already nearing its end. For today I decided to work on one of my sketchbook pages further. Instead of drawing the lines per hand in photoshop I went with paths. I still have to learn a lot in that regard. I also quickly included a castle in the clouds in the background (not done with paths yet) to give the picture more depth and some kind of story^^ 

My original sketch you can find here.
