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.

Illustration Progress

09.11.2013:

Hey guys! Spend some more time on my illustration today. Rearranged her in front of the moon, so she is in focus. And finished the line art today. Also took out the color. So that it doesn't get overwhelming and I can tackle on problem at a time. So wish me luck :)

Shapes

17.09.2013:

Hello! Today I was in a creative mood. And so I started to block in some shades of grey to define foreground, middle ground and background. Afterwards I threw lines over it. And tadaa a guideline for a painting was created :D Hope I will find to work further on it soon. See yah!

Imaginative work

15.09.2013:

Hey guys, today I decided to see how much I still now about human anatomy so I painted a naked girl. Having in mind that I normally do lines only, I think this is pretty good for me.

Ranger Promo Art

04.08.2013:

The first one of the promotional art pieces for Pyrrhic Studios. Painted them a bit more realistic then the original characters, but kept the strong lines and cell shading for consistency.

Hello everyone, two weeks ago I uploaded a sketch for a piece I want to do, so here you can see the initial colors I want to go with. Next step: Correction of anatomy and detail work in the lineart!

Color studies

She is totally off, but the main target were colors so it's ok for me^^ Also without underlying lineart to train my painting skills.

In this second one I traced the outline and then tried to pick the right colors again. Also trying to not get into details, but simply put colors on with the standard round brush :)
