Sketchbook: kevlar jens
Good day/evening,
my name is Jens, I'm 17 (update: I'm 18 now) years old guy from Norway trying to develop my 3D art skills. I've done some guns and other props for Source-mods although recently I've been trying to get a hang of digital sculpting (update: I've put 3D aside for now. Just focusing on painting and drawing at the moment).
Here's a dump of my most recent stuff:
I'm currently taking Media and Communication classes in High School and exams are right around the corner but hopefully I will get a lot of time to develop during Summer vacation.
Constructive criticism is more than welcome

Hmm, they are. I guess Dropbox can be rather unreliable at times.
Anyways, I've reuploaded them to imgur now.
Here's a head study I sculpted from squircle.
Eoq: Thank you! Ye, I'll definitely take a closer look at the underlying muscle and bone.
Here's a wip-shot of a Harrison Ford sculpt I started working on today. I'm finding it hard to achieve any likeness, and establishing form without either a) over-pronouncing or b) making it boneless goo.
Well, at least it's an improvement over my Desmond Harrington sculpt, which turned out to look like Kevin Bacon and Mickey Rourke's lovechild, heh.
Here's a rough value study.

It really cleared up a bunch of things although I still don't understand cheeks very much so any help on that subject is very appreciated.
(John ate too many sweets so all his teeth fell out)
i got no proper fixative spray so I had to use hairspray.
my sketchbook smells like cherries now.
and a sculpt I'm working on
i really feel like i've made a lot of progress on the painting front. exciting!
sculpt poop
Haven't been doing much lately, I'm afraid. Having a general lack of motivation and the recent Skyrim footage got me back into Oblivion- Curse you, self-control.
Anyways, here are some studies of the body.
I still learnt a lot though that's what counts I guess.
Keep it up and stay creative!
here's a torso, a head (based on the first one from this.) and a thorough study on the arm I'm slowly making progress on.
of arms
and a bust of bald bloke I did to improve my anatomical knowledge and sculpting technique
Also, here's a series of Saul Bass- and Olly Moss-inspired posters I did a few weeks ago as an school assignment.
I later designed a tee off the Breaking Bad poster and submitted it to Teefury and it got selected and will be up for sale in the near future
plus some graphic-design fun, where I experimented with one of the most charming styles ever- art deco
I know your torso (http://i.imgur.com/Ljt0y.png) is a work in progress so maybe it would be too soon to give it critique, but in my opinion you should place the nipples further down along the pecs, roughly around the outline of the muscle. Not sure I explained that very good, but anyways.
Also, the love handles seem a bit saggy, but overall I'd say your stuff looks very good and you'll probably become a very talented artist very soon if you keep at it!
Here's a refless painting and a bunch of sketches:
Here's some various stuff
(this is me when trying to understand the forearm)
Some Bammes exercises, an Alchemy doodle, a bit of charcoal loving and a work in progress on a lady. On the latter I divided the different limbs into polygroups and wow everything got so much easier!
more digital paintingss
a photostudy that i aborted (click the image to see the ref)
some dude with antlers i painted on my smartphone. i used autodesk's sketchbook mobile, and it's pretty great. it got layers and layer-modes, a good selection of brushes, nice UI and the possibility to save your work as an .psd so you can continue working on your computer. the screen-size is of course a big problem, but on the other side it keeps me from getting too much into details.
photostudy of a pretty cool asian guy w/ a cig (this image can also be clicked for ref)
film noir photostudy (this one too)
oh
and this
also done with sketchbook mobile

my breaking bad t-shirt will be up for sale on TeeFury on Saturday, February 18 (and on that day only)
(click the images for the refs)
"One toke? You poor fool! Wait till you see this goddamn monolith."
experimenting around with the lasso tool. please forgive me for the nightmare-inducing face.

Snake anno 1885. i tried to achieve a "pen-marker-pencil on brown paper"-look.
some charcoal sketches. the two women are done from ref.
rough mock-ups for some t-shirt designs i've been pondering on about
btw, is there any way to thumb images?
so i felt like drawing some
and today i painted a cat that is also a cube,
a japanese monkey from ref
and this boy, from imagination.
Photostudy. A foray into cloth.
Monkey knight. I'm quite proud of this one
Some sketches of Renaissance statues. Trying to see how they enhance the human form.
Aaand an animation flick I made with three friends of mine for school. I did a fair share of the animation (everything past 0:42 save for the one of the cat wiggling on the ground), some storyboarding and some rough background sketches for our talented background artist to start from.

Post-its painted from life. very fun compared to painting from photos. shame about this awful indoor lighting though :I
Photostudy of lips. Too much light on the upper lip!
Another photostudy. I couldn't be bothered to finish this
A lady from imagination
Today I had no motivation at all, so instead of just shitting around on the web I put on my shoes and went for a short walk- and when I came back home I was totally motivated. In conclusion: I should take more walks, or maybe sign up for a gym. Getting out of my room's shut-in atmosphere really helps.
Anywaays, here are some sketches.
Everything with a rectangular speech bubble is a self-portrait by the way (save for that one Ice Cube sketch)
and a photostudy of Ron Burgundy that doesn't look like Ron Burgundy at all im so ashamed of myself but at least I got to work on my color and rendering
Also,
I got a redbubble now. http://www.redbubble.com/people/kevjens check it out for amazingly hip apparel and preposterously cool posters
Here's the greyscale btw
Also, I'm seeing that some of the images here are dying (rip, compadres) so if anyone's interested in seeing all my stuff then you can visit my sketchbook at conceptart

^ sketching with a sharpie is fun
study of drapery
a stupid thing
The environment is (more or less) reffed from some crazy jpop music-video, whereas the bloke chillin' is drawn from head. Integrating my own stuff really makes the photostudy-process a lot more fun.
Art Nouveau assignment.
I made a MGS3-poster, heavily based on Eug
A bunch of fashionable folks. Reffed from http://www.thesartorialist.com/
which then inspired me to do some designing myself. The poses were reffed, btw.
The year is 2050:
- "Geniusphones" will make your phone an even bigger part of your day. By hooking up with your body it warns you about low bloodsugar, monitors stress and so forth etc. Just be careful to read Apple's terms and agreements- they may or may not steal your genome.
- Augmentations will let war veterans once again play catch with their kids, or just give people that extra edge they've always wanted. Runs on diesel.

I finished that self-portrait. The likeness isn't quite there, but apart from that I'm quite satisfied with the result.
and here's some recent sketchbook pages. They're mainly filled with messy and stupid things beh. Got to shape up.
Also, got me a 0.3 drawing pen and a marker- they are super-fun to draw with!
