Wow nice work man.
The torso study is insane

Your lighting on the environment studies is real good

Keep it up

Vinterdragen

Thanks Alismuffin

I draw a lot, but I really hate to scan my drawings

Not much digital stuff these days

Hey Vinterdragen! Decided to stop by your sketchbook again and leave a comment this time

You're doing really good stuff here. It's great to see you working on environments here, you seem to have a good grasp on them. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more!

Digging the environment studies! Really nice sense of light in those!

Vinterdragen

Hey guys, I'm an offliner nowadays xD, I hope to get over my laziness of scanning :poly122:

Here's a WIP of my brother's badass character :poly135:

Vinterdragen

Finished the portrait.



Closeup

Painted a field marshal, mainly as a value practice.

Hey guys, here are some studies and sketches, mostly digital, because I hate to scan or photograph the traditional stuff xD

The purpose of the studies range from experimentation to profound analysis... some just trying stuff from scratch without reference others doing some kind of reverse "engineering" throughout visual art and design foundations. The amount of time spent is usually short(between 20 minutes to 1 hour), but some few are longer (2 or 3 hours).

Some digital studies:

Hey! Great stuff here !!! I like your style, very artistic. What software do you use to paint? Do you use to make your on brushes? Cangrats your doing a nice job! =D

Vinterdragen

Hey Karytsukino!, thank you for your kind words.
I use photoshop CS6. Some brushes are from other artists, some come with the software(like those of the bears) and I make my own if I need to.

Vinterdragen

Hey guys, I just wanted to practice some theatrical lighting, so I painted the sketch of an orc I drew previously.

Camping in the woods.

Vinterdragen

Today's 30 minute studies. Working with light and brushwork, exploring some kind of drybrushing.

Vinterdragen

Have you ever been in Minos?



Going back to the basics to try stuff.


and a superfastie sketch

Korgoth

Not a huge fan of some of the brushes you use, but overall there's some great stuff in here.

Vinterdragen

Thanks by dropping a word Korgoth.

Yeah some brushwork is too ew :S hahahhahaha... super noisy and disturbingly strong. I'm trying hard to avoid such horrible marks :S and thank you by sharing your thoughts!

Vinterdragen

I sculpted this study to put in practice some anatomy, to practice in zbrush and grow my visual library. The main interest was gesture and structure in the whole, so I didn't polish it to more finished level...

I started with zspheres kinda building an skeletal armature, then I used zsketch to lay in muscle masses, then I sculpted to polish, add some tendons and set the gesture of main wrinkles and fat masses.

RobertRamsay

Really awesome studies. Keep up the great work!

Speed painting is a good practice, you have to solve a buch of visual and conceptual problems fast, and the best thing, is that your weaknesses scream loudly. In my case, composition is quite hard, so it's the thing which I have to struggle mostly, although Vilppu's lectures and master studies have helped me a lot.

Btw, take a look at New Masters Academy, believe me, you will love it... Glenn Vilppu, Steve Huston, Joe Weatherly and the list goes on... 8D

Well here is the 30m speedpaint. The theme was "water elemental".



Now, the speedpainting developed further. I think it's rather a water spirit than a water elemental.

Vinterdragen

Testing camera stuff with oldies.



And the Soul Seeker
