Comic

Well for a long time I’ve always wanted to do comics and for some reason haven’t really worked on any maybe a lack of confidence. So I decided I would set a goal for myself to finish a comic by mid next year, I’m going to meet up with one of best friends in the world Hannah Berge who will write the story. Since we were 15 we were always into sharing comics and artists that we like so I think its time that we make one together.

I’m meeting up with Hannah for coffee today to think of some ideas. Wish me luck :) 

Ok so I haven’t really been updating much on my progress of this pic because I got caught up/lost interest but here is an update to force myself to finish this painting/ The changes I have made: I realised that the whole stance was of and rotated to hole painting to here feet looked like that were planted on the ground properly. I also realised that that with the colours I was working with it was mostly blue and and I did’nt really have anywhere to go in terms of contrast so I added some stronger vaules and warmer colours to bring out her silloutte and add a bit of drama. I had a critique that there pose was a bit stiff and although i wanted her to be straight and ready it was looking a bit too stiff so I tried to relax the right arm by painting it behind her body.  Feel free to provided friendly feedback.

An armor study I was meaning to finish aaages ago and finally decided to finish it. I think I’m having a huge artist block at the moment so my solution will be just to use this time to do lots of studies

Here is an old piece of art I have tried to resurrect from the grave, not sure I’m totally happy with the whole look of the piece however I’m glad a pushed through instead of giving up like a usually do.

Thankyou for your feedback ‘Somethingbookish’

I was feeling that her poster was a little stiff, I wanted it to have a readyness in it but It might be reading as stiff so I might go into that more.

I thought about painting the mistclock last ’ leaving the best for last’ :P untill I get all the other compontents sorted out. Because knowing me I might get a little carried away and get distracted

Its comming up a bit dark but there is a satchel that has the coin pouches I was thinking of placing one of the glass daggers in her hand but I will probably have to rework that satchul to read a bit clearer and functional. 

Thankyou very much for your friendly critiques :) 

Ok this is the first time I’ve posted a work in progress as parts, kind of scary. So I what I’ve done so far:

I went back to the sketch and fixed up some anatomy and design problems with the image just to make a clear silhouette of the figure

I then used the pen tool to make a selection and cut the figure out from the sketch

Then I started to play around with colour and what was the piece was actually going to look like, this was pretty frustrating as I didn’t really know what I was doing so I then went and sat down and wrote what I wanted it to look like  so I had a direction. 

I then realised that once again my lack of organisation of my layers in Photoshop was being a problem and I was getting confused and the image was looking that way to, so I said to myself FOCUS ALEX!!!

At the moment I’m still a bit confused because the drawing has moved so far away from my original sketch, but I am happy with some things that are starting to come up. 

This more a process for me to kind of reflect what I’m doing however anyone is welcome to had any feedback onto their thoughts about the drawing. I hope people can learn from my mistakes as a go through this painting. 

A quick sketch I did before bed I hope to paint it later, Its some fan art of Vin from the Mistborn series. Hopefully posting it up on such an early stage with force me to finish it. Please all feel free to offer any feedback :)

Here is a piece I started awhile ago inspired by the character Sazed from Brandon Sanderson’s  Mistborn series. I happy that I managed to create the image without references however I struggled a lot with painting the skin so looks like i’ll have to get into some skin studies when I get the time.
