Anatomy sketch - back

 

Anatomy practice for the back area.

Spiderman sketch

Pencil sketch. Got inspired by all the great comic book artists out there and checking out their stuff.

Rough face & torso sketch

Late night rough sketch.. done in PS.

Black Dynamite fan art

Some fan art. Not perfect, but I thought I'd give this coloring style a try.. Done in PS.

Chair Sketches

Chair sketches. Above the original one, done in fineliner and marker. Below the digitally adjusted version.
notice also the reflection in the seat of the right chair, instantly boosting the gloss-effect of the material.

Myrthe

 A little messy, especially the hair... I should take some time to clean it up here and there. Digital work.

Chair Sketches

Some Industrial Design Sketches. Fineliner and marker on marker paper.

Big cat, 121 x 62 cm

Acrylic on panel

Design Drawing Sketches

Rough MP3 player sketches, made during my student assistant job at design drawing.

Figure anatomy sketches

Crocodile (One Piece)

 

One of my favourite characters from the anime series 'One Piece'; Crocodile (Kurokodairu).

Jude Law

Not entirely pleased with this... I think I'll revisit it in a couple of days to refine some features like the mouth
and the eyebrows... Sometimes you gotta step away for a while to spot what's wrong.

Lisa Edelstein

My portraits are usually done completely digitally, yet i try to work as traditional as I feel comfortable with; I just use one layer and basically start painting. Well, first I do the linework until I feel comfortable enough to jump in with colours. I do not use the eyedropper tool either, but rather try to find the correct colours 'manually'.. Sometimes I'll use the eyedropper tool to check my handpicked colour.

Miley

Working on weird hairstyles (or rather contemporary ones); Came across this lady...

30 minutes portrait

Quick sketch (30 min).

Isa & Mika

Portrait commission.

Design sketches

 

Early ideation sketches from a design project for a new type of medical device.

Nellie McKay

Portrait of singer-songwriter Nellie McKay. Digital work.

Capoeira acrylic sketch

Someone asked me if I had any Capoeira related sketches, so while digging through my archives I stumbeled upon this one again. The black & white version is done in acrylic; after experimenting with some digital colour the bottom version was created.

Digital speed painting

Morning sketch

Quick morning character sketch.

Hulk Sketches

Finally have time to get to random sketching again. The Hulk is so much fun; drawing all those monstrous muscle groups is great anatomy practice. Especially the back of the torso deserves practice, since I dont draw that part too often.

Warrior rough

Been so busy, it's an entire month since I posted something... This one's an oldy, done in Alchemy.

Jael

Quick portrait. It's not completely accurate, but it was a good attempt.

'Atlas', 120 x 80 cm

Finally got around to some painting again this weekend. I started this one three weeks ago, but couldn't find any time t work on it since. Now, it's almost finished i guess. Sometimes, I have no idea at all about what to put on the canvas; I just mix colours, see what i like, throw some paint on there and allow all those happy little accidents to arise. For this one, though, I had the idea first. I wanted to depict titan Atlas from Greek mythology, who was sentenced to carry the universe on his shoulders untill the end of eternity.

Car Concept

Sketch done in Photoshop. I actually think it needs a lot more work; there's some major mistakes that need fixing. But hey, a sketch is just that I guess..

Figure sketches

Sketches from design drawing classes. The students had to draw figure poses to help explain their product design. These are some quick examples I did for them.

Das Hippo

Made during the design drawing classes where I work as student assistent. As a warm-up excersise, the students were given the assignment to draw a hippo, relying on their visual library.
Fineliner and marker.

Batman's got the pineapple

...Don't ask. Digital work.

Myrthe 3

Acrylic on board. 60 x 30 cm.

Grumpy inking

Follow-up on last week's sketch. Just random funtime with inking and shading.

Grumpy

30 min sketch in Photoshop. Finally was able to create a brush that closely resembles a sketch pencil. The stupid thing is, that it's a really, really easy modification of the default round brush... Ah well, took me a few years to set it right, but better late than never I guess.

Speed Spidey

Had this one for a while, almost forgot it. Very rough speed paint, testing a brush I created (a derivation from the default brushes) in Photoshop. I think I'll be working with it more often. This one took about 20 min I believe..

Car speed sketch

Having fun drawing fast cars, and drawing them fast. This was an excercise in rendering out a car as quickly as I could. Took me a little under an hour..

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Doing some more portrait practice. I'm getting a bit more likeness in my portraits. Blocking in the masses of light and dark is becoming more accurate, as well as constuction of the initial line sketch. However, when light and shadow masses are more diffuse, not with a clear single light source so to say, I'm still having lots of trouble...

Lena Headey

Portrait of Lena Headey. Original picture was found on this website: http://thereelist.com/tag/lena+headey/.
Digital work.

Fineliner Guys

Aircraft concept

Quick concept. Linework with fineliner and (first) light grey marker, shading  and coloring in Photoshop.

Niqaab

Boy, it's getting hard to keep up the once-a-week posting guideline... This one's from pretty far back in time. Based on a photo reference.
