and a doodle:
Finally getting in a drawing rhythm again, hopefully I can keep it up this time.
I have no real crits except that it's all looking pretty good!
Comics
Yeah I still draw, just been a little lazy scanning and updating my forum thread :oops: I'm now studying animation at the Rits in Brussels!
Hey thanks McD, I've actually been experimenting with different media a lot these last weeks, I'll post some this weekend!
for now another quick doodle inbetween classes:
and dexter:
Here's a progress shot of a commission I just finished:
I had a lot of difficulties getting a likeness and only 2 days to complete it, but overall I'm okay with how it turned out. What do you guys think?
Well it's almost got his total likeness, but his face feels very stiff.
Got a new sketchbook, wanted to try out toned paper, really loving it!
and some very sloppy wacom model doodles:
Here's some more experimenting:

Here's a quick digital portrait of Bart De Wever, a belgian politician:
Could have gone on to get all the nitpicky details right, but I had exams to prepare for. Might work some more on it later. Whatcha think?
But still, i recognized him immediately and it looks pretty good.
what medium are you using on this? Looks fantastic!
you should totally make her face your new avatar...
This is a warning that my sig was too tall.
You could have sent me a PM or something.
I dunno about the eyes, maybe a bit. You're definitely right about the neck and cheek though!
That was brush pen for the lines, some old markers for color, and white-out for the border. Glad you like it!
Here's another one, monsieur Di Rupo:
This one took way longer, he has a tough face. Still not really happy with it, but got to study for exams now (should've been doing that all the time instead of drawing but hey)
edit: reference for those interested
Minor nitpick, but it looks great overall. Color choice is great!

ninjai: That was what I was trying to mimick, but might not have come across too well.
That is indeed my weak spot, I'm terrible at putting characters in an environment and make it look convincing. I've never really taken the time to put some effort into designing environments either, and it shows. My focus has always been on the character.. But I'll give it a shot!
That's a good tip, one I will keep in mind, thanks!
Glad you like it, Phthano!
Here's a work-in-progress for the next portrait:
Linetest
It is still very rough and unfinished, needs to be inbetweened and cleaned up. But if you have any suggestions, comments or critiques, let me know!
Yes, that's it! I showed it to some friends and they had the same reaction, that it is hard to tell what's going on. It's partially because of the lousy quality of the video, but my animation is definitely lacking as well at this point, it should be clearer when I've inbetweened all of it..
In the meantime, here's a 5-minute figure drawing from this week:
Model drawing's rusty, I hope to have some more time for it these following months.
Nice work.

Dances With Magpies: thank you very much, I'm happy you like it!
Here's two more paintings, way out of my comfort zone here:
I'm really trying my best to improve on putting characters in an environment, and hope to get a better grasp of color while doing so. It still feels off to me at the moment, but I can't really say what it is..
I really like how you did the water and the rocks in the foreground!
It feels very familiar, as a scene. Like I know exactly where that is. Reminds me very much of a swimming hole I frequented as a teenager.

melting_doll: her shoulder should indeed be higher, I might still go in and change it, but I've kind of had it with that one for now. Thanks for noticing and pointing it out though, appreciate it!
Rankenphile: that was based on a photo I took of a forest somewhere in Massachusetts, glad it brings up good memories for you!
Here's some progress of what I'm working on now:
Obviously still a long way to go, trying not to lose the painterly feel and looseness of it all.
