Nice work guys!

Twoflower: You need to work a bit more on blending the for/back/midground on your paintings. And remember that the further away something is the more desaturated and blury it becomes. Nice work though, cool light on those tower/monoliths.

NA: Number 8 and number 1 for me!

Attempt at value study...

Dec! Very decent indeed!

Although the mountains could be pushed back a bit more.



Day 127 - (Worked at Nordic Game conference today and yesterday so here is some more sketches, will be back with some cars tomorrow)

angel: 4 and 8

aiconx: Nice! always wanted to see wolverine riding an unicorn

Erik: Will keep that in mind. your characters are looking better and better. really liked that guy with the hat in your day 126. Reminds me of that sweet lowpoly neon samurai hooverboard dude ^^

day 59 should have blurried the mountains that are farthest away..

More sketches

Daily 26

Twoflower: Thanks man! That is a sweet looking pic, much better, much more depth! :P

kinekun: Your sketches are improving a lot, keep it up!

Everyone is improving, each work just gets finer and finer. I love this thread!

Nuclear_Angel: Daaamn man your skills are evolving fast! How long did it take to make the dragon in the cementery? About your latest pic, I think it would benefit if you render some epic clouds in the sky. There's a lot of great tutorials floating around on drawing clouds (pretty easy once you get the hang of it).

Keep up the great work all of you guys! Very nice thread to follow!

Nuclear Angel: Nice man! Gonna agree with Chronoxios, some sweet ass clouds would look awesome ;D

Chronoxios: Thanks man! Great to hear, feel free to join in if you feel like it!

ErikNilsson: I pretty much suck at drawing so yeah, as soon as my vacation starts I might join the thread! Right now I'm busy modeling a new character and releasing my very first game this week (wohooo!)

Thought I would share this with you guys http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/figuredrawing.php

I haven't looked into it myself really but I'm gonna try it when I have some time. Practice makes perfect, right?

Indeed, and you are very welcome!

I use this one myself - http://www.lovecastle.org/draw/

Hope everythink goes well with the game :P

TF: really like how the straightness of the bridge complements the landscape

Day 10
a landscape sketch
I've also been trying to learn how to draw with my non dominant hand, so here's a little sketch with my left. Think I'm gonna start doing one with the right and one with the left each day, to work up some ambidexterity

Chronoxios: Thanks so much for the feedback, i have looked up some cloud tutorials, and also today i sat outside staring at the sky like a high guy. The dragon cemetery thing i have been working on for about 3 to four hours give or take. Later today i will finish my cemetery, and tomorrow i do the challenge of the week. Going dancing tonight!
Here is this day piece:

day 60 mecha thingy

Thanks Erik!

I use lovecastle.org myself, but pixelovely seems like a good spot too! Got a tip recently about http://artsyposes.com/. Haven't looked at it too much but seems promising

Some random faces for day 27

Kewl guys! Keep it up!


Here is my final pic, day 128:

So i did my vehicle thing, and i t taught me, i need to draw more vehicles, i am rather bad at it. And i did not like the end result to much at all, the color scheme is to yellow, but done is done.



So I will draw more vehicles from now, space ships and so on, to learn about it.

Hi guys!

I'm a student from Hungary. I'd tag along if you don't mind. (I might just fail drawing every day as my exams are coming up but trying can only help I guess)

Day 1 : I have no idea how to draw a face...

erik: those look way better than your early airplanes, improvement ftw ^^

Angel: your vehicle looks really flat atm, think you would benefit from doing some value studies

hey aleon! that head looks better than any head i have ever drawn :S


day 61

Day 11

Deviantart is a pretty good source for ref photos!
Right hand


Left hand

Thanks, still some trubble with perspective though ;/

Angel: I agree with Twoflower, more material defenition plz! Is it metal, glas or plastic? more highlights! ;D

Still dec pic, its just alla about practice ;)

Nice pic Twoflower. Mountins a bit flat, to much detail I think. Also, your clouds are very flat compared to how nice bend you have on the ground.


Aleon: Welcome! And thats a really nice head-start Ha-ha-ha, just keep at it man, just study som faces and heads and watch some tutorials ^^

aiconx: Nice poses and characters there!


Day 129:

Thanks guys so much for the responses. My problem is that i never ever draw vehicles, so i guess i am gonna put down my focus on that now! More vehicles will come up this coming week. So please give me criticism and help me out! Thanks in advance, i will improve the vehicles! Promise.
And Erik, damn those vehicles look mint!
Aiconx, i love the idea of a drawing with each hand, it looks amazing, good job! The right eye of the right hand painting could get another perspective, but keep working.

Some poses and rudimentary sketches.

daily 27

Erik: Upper car looks great! Something about the shading makes the lower one seem all squeezed. o.O
Aiconx: Nice sketches there!
Twoflower: Try using more yellows since it's a bright day (not much clouds) and more blues in the shadows! The sky gradient looks great!
Speedpaint for a gameover screen:

Cool stuff guys.
