Attempting to capture JC leyendeckers Style via digi painting

Trill_Clinton

Hey guys i'm a uni student working on a course brief to replicate Jc 

leyendeckers' style for a concepting project. I have done a study to try and learn from him. Does anyone here have any experience rendering his painting style digitally. if so any advice would be greatly welcomed. In addition may I have some feedback on this study I have made. Again I would greatly like feedback on how I attempted his rendering style. Thank you

Hiya just wanted to say thank you for the feedback. sorry about my writing, yes it was just general analysis of his style. I came to the conclusion that he uses very gestural mark making with hard edges. I used the leyendecker gurney blog as reference for a basis but struggled when trying to translate his own instructions to a digital format. However I will give it a read through again. Thank you so much for the help

Hiya this was my second attempt at approaching his style digitally. I worked with a much more flatter brush and used the chishelled method as you suggested. I am still at a loss at how one would make shadows transparent digitally like the artist suggests. Do you have any ideas or clues as to how this could be done? Anyway I would like to thank you for the feedback and once again ask for some help on this one

Thank you for the reply. And I apologise on my behalf for the late reply. I am currently doing concepting for the project right now. But I will update you on any studies I create in the future

Hiya TeriyakiStyle thank you for the support you have given me so far. May I ask if I receive some feedback on this illustration I am working on related to the project, particularly the proportions of the character featured. I feel like something is off but I cant place my finger on it. Anyway Thank you so much for the support and help you have offered so far

The problems you are having stem back to basic draftsmanship more so than anything else.

You need to learn how to see and copy accurately before you are able to really begin tackling a problem such as this.

This is a good guide on how to do that. http://www.dorian-iten.com/accuracy/
