A quick sketch to warm up ca 30 min.

Rotkärtchen: the big bad wolf

Lineart by Lena Kuschke
Colors by me

These are the studies I did for the card art. 2 color- and fur-studies and a lighting study of a side-lighting from James Gurneys book "Color and Light"

This will be the next card: Orza Reckenhauer.

To be honest I had some trouble with the lighting in the Rotkärtchen - piece, so this time wanted to use a different approach. First I put in all the colors I wanted in the piece on seperate layers.

Then I used the Gradient tool with a single color in the circular mode (example of the effect).
Bild
With that I dropped in 2 colored lightsources from the sides and another one from the middle like in this image:

This is how I arranged my layers:

This is the result, after masking out planes where the different lights don't fall on.

The next steps will be adding textures and rendering out the forms more.

hope this made sense and maybe even helped somebody. :)

Stuff I did at work

Hey everybody,

I think I found a new way to do studies more efficiently. Where I before put the reference image next to mine so that I could see it while doing the study, I tried this time to hide it and only take a look at it to know what to draw next. In effect I zoomed close to my picture and when I didn't know what or how to paint something, I panned the camera to the reference, took a look, tried to remember the thing and went back to my painting. That way I was forced to mentally say stuff like: "the wrinkles on the frogs shoulders are bigger than on his stomach".

Also it helped me to make it my version. I looked at a special spot, had an idea how to paint that and tried it. After a while I went back and compared. The whole time in between I didn't have the reference image telling me that I am doing good or bad. I just did what I thought was working and compared the result.

Maybe it is something worth trying for you too?

If you do I would love to hear if it did something new for you.

roughly 2 h for the toad.

2 30 min Rembrandt Color Studies. Left the original --- middel from reference, with the above mentioned technique --- right from imagination. I am not too happy with the result, it is too saturated, but I learned a lot from it.

And a very stylized portrait of Brönsted, a famous chemist.

It is Michelangelo's 450th day of death, so I thought it only right to do a quick study of his David.

The new character card.

Leo Kahn is also a goaly with the ability to enhance the moral by roaring.
As usual: Lines by Lena Kuschke, painting by me.

Painting so much long fur is very meditative.

Cheers,
Flo

armor study from memory

Hey everybody,

I did a armor study and then redid it after a day from memory. this is what came out. I thought the design was a bit boring plus I couldn't remember a lot of it, so I decided to add some interest.

the study from ref is saved on another pc, so I can't show it.

Here's the original: http://www.holidaycheck.de/data/urlaubsb...057265.jpg

Cheers,
Flo
