SOME SCRAPS

Did some drawing yesterday, a lot more then i usually make. I wanted to sketch proportions of the human body. Study the anatomy of the human, turned out quite well but at the second picture u see the darkest shade looks kind of crappy. I think i'm going to combinate it with pastels for the shadows. Want to experiment with a lot more material!

The first draft intention was also based on the human anatomy (female anatomy actually) and i wanted to try out some cross hatching for the shading. Have to practice that!

The last one was actually an head study but i got ideas and so i made this. Think i'm going to make a whole scene with this one. Something unrealistic and abstract! Anyway, can't wait till i have my Wacom Intuos4 S! Went to the Mac store yesterday to order it, so i'm waiting for a call!

Sorry for the bad quality, pictures made with my mobile!

LATE NIGHT KISSING

I'm so bad at titles, it should be a mix of drawing lips in the middle of the night haha. Lil some some information; bought some new equipment to draw and I bought myself a wooden anatomy doll as u see in the picture! So i'm going to draw some anatomical sketches soon, or at least try it.

As usual I was checking on DeviantArt and I already had this in my favorites. And yeay, I love to draw lips and noses so i just tried. Which turned out really well! Drawing reflection like this was really new for me in this case. Don't know if i'm going to finish this drawing because it's kind of mysterious.

1. Normal print-paper
2. H3 - HB - B3 - B9 pencils
3. Kneaded eraser & normal eraser
4. Paper blender pencils
5. Patience hahaha

Done in 2,5 hours which is pretty fast for me

UK2010 SAMPLER / ALEXANDER PEERMAN EDIT

I so want to share this with everyone; sampler of the UK gathering we (Team Asura) went to last summer. My teammates Yannick, Elias, Erling and I were representing the dutch trickers cause were the only dutch trickers. So u might see me and the boys in this sampler; more for the people who know us/me! So here it is

MY HEAD IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!

The title pretty much says it. But I will tell u why! In the first place, it's pretty late right now. I'm hanging at my friends place to seek for some inspiration. So i got on the computer and started surfing on the internet. Doing a daily check on DeviantArt, Blogspot and so on. And then i found myself some interesting artists, but this one made my eyes laugh; theumbrella on DA and right here his link http://theumbrella.deviantart.com/gallery/

This man, who I don't actually know, is amazing. He is an genius, creative, original, stylish, brilliant like what the fuck. It must've been a pencil he lay his fingers on that blessed him with this talent?! It's just that the boys are sleeping next to me or i would yell my excitement out! His way of drawing and his creative style makes him a unique artist. I shouldn't be so unpatient and do more art studies. I drive myself to much to perfection and when i'm not satisfied i stop. And i'm aware of that. Is it because i'm less social like I should be on this age for instance; going to school? Networking, viewing someone elses art, sharing ideas, gather information, share information, try new techniques and most of all; being creative. It's so hard for me to have this positive creativity. Like this dude i was talking about; i'm so yealous of him! He draws every single day some sketches with result and continue it the next day. He MUST be surrounded by loving people, live and study in a positive community.

So yeay, that is what's bugging me but i'm happy tho. I still can't believe that I started Architecture before this inspiring world of art that i've forgotten! Before that i could hold a pencil without the stress and a young fresh mind. I wasted it all on the Architecture I thought I liked. But i gotta say; it's still not to late ... I'm young, but my body doesn't feel like that. Well that's all out of me now! He is fucking worth staying late up at night and putting this on my blog so here my top 4 of him below (can't find his name tho)a

And now it's to damn late, in theory 'early' (06:46)

MIRANDA UPDATE

I've been working on Miranda for a little while. Trying to do some new techniques, especially for the hair. And if you look good, everything is a lil bit out of proportion. Look at the mouth/lips/chin and the eyes! But it still look good in my opinion. Going to buy new paper and other materials when i have money again.

And this is the original image i used http://bit.ly/cguxwq

MIRANDA LAWSON

This is a drawing i'm working on right now, i'm happy with the outcome so far. But hee, i'm still learning! I'm going to practice alot more with the hair and eyes. I want those perfect!

Anyway, some more feedback about the girl on the picture. I was and i'm still obsessed by Mass Effect and i recently finished the second version of the game. This time u'll meet Miranda Lawson who will guide you in whole journey of the game. When i finally saw a good picture of her on the internet i saw she was real. In fact, her name is 'Yvonne Strahovski'. In this portrait she will be herself cause i'll make another one of her as a Miranda Lawson. Anyway, again, here is my portrait ...

 I have to notice, i made a picture of it with my mobile .. fail

INSPIRATIONSOURCES

So i've been doing almost nothing lately and just surfing around for art. And almost everyday i see amazing art pieces which inspire me. What should be a boost to my own work, but i've kinda slow down. Sometimes you have a day full of inspiration and happyness and then you want to do everything (not specific art). When you get home and start surfing around on the internet, you see these things. And then your like: damn, come on man .. you can do this to. It's just that i'm to unpatient to wait to see some real result. But i'm still working on it! What would really help is to have a buddy to share and talk about these things. But that wasn't what i wanted to talk about actually cause i wanted to show some awesome stuff that i find worth sharing. Big up to all these CG-artists for inspiring other people! So watch this (click 'Read more' to see more, afcourse!)
