My first acrylic painting !

Hoohoo, finaly! I´ve found some courage and painted my first real canvas with acrylic...

Quite small - 13x17 cm, but a tons of a new experience gained...:)

Next time I have to buy new and better small brush, it´s visible that black strokes with my current brush looks horrible...

Originaly I was afraid mainly about the gradient in background, but it wasn´t so hard...

I´m looking forward for something more bigger, next time... :)

Sword lady, digital sketch

So, finaly, I have a new tablet... Huion!!! I would like to write a review of it later. This is a first sketch I´ve done with this cool stuff. I still have to use to it, but no big deal...:)

Knight with axe sketch + video

Here's a video with speed process of my quick sketching of Knight with axe. It took me around 35 minutes. Low detailed and not very good, but I would like to share it anyway... why not..? :)

Finished picture:

Sargent studdy

Trying to studdy some work from old masters. This time it is Sargent (left side:) ).

It was just quick experiment, 20 minutes. Perfection was not my goal, I was focusing mainly on brush strokes and colours. The result is more like sketch... 

  

Uriel - digital painting

This was originally just next digital training sketch, but I started to like it, so I spent a bit more time with it than usually. Anyway, I was trying to add some fantasy details, but it was a fail, maybe next time...

Used some reference picture from internet, mainly for inspiration.

I would really appritiate some comments... :)

"Uriel"

Tough - tempera

I bought a basic set of tempera colours and started with experiments...I would like to try acrylics in the future, so this is just a preparation phase.
Standard office paper, format A4, several cheap brushes and 3 tempera colours. No reference used, I was just playing, doodling and messing arround... :)

Rapsketch

So, here is a digital training sketch. It took me arround 1hour, used tablet wacom bamboo and photoshop...
I was experimenting with light, trying to create the feel that she is the light in darknes... but not sure if successfully. Aaand kind of old master look, but I gues there is needed to improve the brush strokes, a lot.
Anyway, the colour pallet is quite fine, I guess...
Anyway #2, it´s just training sketch, right?  :)
Here is the reference picture I´ve used for inspiration...

"Greenwall" - digital sketching practice

After a really long rime (several months) I've decided to try digital painting again. So I took my wacom bamboo tablet and started with some naked woman photo study. It was quite tough at the beginning because I felt quite rusty. The result is this rough sketch and I would say that it's not so bad... :)
Anyway, I feel more motivated now and definitely will try to use tablet more often...

"Greenwall" :)

Vinc

This is currently my last portrait sketch. After a long time I decided to draw some more known face - Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction (Travolta)... :) Still not perfect, but I suppose the progress is visible.
I would say, that the value rendering is quite easy for me. The really challenging part is the preparation sketch, when I have to focus on proportions, pose, etc. If this is not done right, then the picture will never look good. It require a lot of practicing. ... so, I'm on my way...

Standard paper A5, kohinor pencils 7B, 2B and smudge tool, photoshop slightly used for some final customization

My own easel

I made my own easel. It has 3 legs and it is just slightly customizable. I suppose it could be a nice change for me.... not just sitting in front of monitor...will see how it will suite me... :)

I have to find out how to fix paper on the board, but I have some ideas already. Currently used just for drawing.
