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 ^^

I'm back!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's over three month since I posted here... but fortunately I have a good excuse :3 Since first of july I'm having an internship as a concept artist in a small company here in germany. So I'm drawing and painting eight hours a day. Bad thing is, I'm under NDA so I can't show you any of it. Not now at least. But after two month working there, I think I found my routine and I can go back to continue my studies without falling asleep after 5 minutes^^

PS: I did some sketches during the last month and when I finally found them I will put them to the right dates... I'm such a chaotic...

More imaginative work

Ignoring the girl on the left, it's all drawn from my imagination.
I think my anatomy starts to improve. But sadly my poses are
really stiff...I have to work on that.
