@jilltonic: Thanks! I'm glad to hear that

So here's the finished version of the painting I've posted a few days ago. The scan really screwed up the contrast of the image (especially on the face), but I tried my best to salvage it. It's not quite the same as in real life, but it looks okay.

Too bad about the scanning issue, but this looks really nice!

Thanks! And as I said it's mostly on the face. In real life the shading is less harsh and it gives the feeling of a softer light. The good thing though is that unless you see it in real life, you'll never know

So I tried doing a simple frame by frame animation. I'm actually feeling like that this type of animation could actually be a great way for me to learn more about forms. It's something I've always struggled with.

Hi! So here's a drawing I'm working on. It started as a silhouette (in fact it's one of the silhouette I posted earlier in this thread) and now it became this weird... priest thing.

And here's also a GIF to show the two stages

Good morning!

I haven't entered a weekly challenge in a while so here's the progress of my entry for this week. It still is in the early stages though.

So here's a little bit of progress for the weekly challenge. Although I feel like I won't be able to finish it in time so I might go ahead and something else simpler.

And I also did a little bit of sketching

Good morning citizens of Cubebrush! So I dropped my previous idea for the weekly challenge and did something else instead. I'm probably going to go back and finish my previous idea at some point because it's just too cute. Anyway, here's my final entry.

Warm Light
''Hi sir! What meal would you like to have today?''
''I would like a warm light soup, please.''

I like your latest sketches, and i hope you do finish the first idea, it does look cute. The idea you had for the new one is pretty unique

cedricgo 2016-11-22 15:02:26 UTC #29

@ragamuffin: Thanks! All of my iinitial ideas were very similar to what other people had made for the challenge. So instead of doing something that had already been done by someone else, but do it worse, I did tried to make something a bit different.

Here's my attempt at doing more realistic rendering. As you can see, I failed with the likeness of the person, but I think that the rendering itself doesn't look too bad.

Also here's also another sketch

Good morning!

Here's a painting I'm working on. She's a character I've created back on the old forums. I thought it would be cool to develop her (and other ones I've made) a bit more. I'm also trying a slightly different with the colors. I'm mostly referring to the skin which is purposefully more yellow than what I would usually use.

Color tests:

And I think I'm done. I tried to combined a painterly style with a more flat and simplifeid style. I think it makes for an interesting look.

cedricgo 2016-12-04 15:53:23 UTC #32

Well, it seems like I did it again and didn't post in quite sometime. I really need to remedy that Anyway, here's my entry for the weekly challenge. I won't have time to finish it like I wanted, but hopefully it still looks okay.

cedricgo 2016-12-06 14:29:59 UTC #33

So here's a new drawing! It's another drawing of my character Mikhaëla, but this time in a more badass pose. With this one I tried to emulate the look of markers a little bit.

And I also did a timelapse of the process. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/1BzExxTWkyQ

Very cool style this last one!
And the rat one as well, cool colours and values.

cedricgo 2016-12-16 00:18:27 UTC #35

Thanks! I'm glad you like them both

So I realized that while I feel somewhat decent at painting, I feel like I'm not particularly good at drawing. So I decided to go back to drawing a bit more. Here are some of not too glorious things I drew yesterday.

And also, since it became a sort of yearly tradition, here's my summary of art for this year. I think that I was overall a bit more consistent than last year, but I think that none of what I did was as good as my best pieces from last year. Still not a bad year though.

cedricgo 2016-12-17 13:05:52 UTC #37

And here are more sketches. I really need to get back to studying anatomy

cedricgo 2016-12-21 00:10:17 UTC #38

Here are two pastels/colored pencil drawings I've made to try to keep myself motivated and do something different than what I usually do.

big-misch 2016-12-21 00:12:49 UTC #39

Wow!

Lots of variety in here, very cool!

cedricgo 2016-12-24 19:39:55 UTC #40

@big-misch: Thank you very much! I'm glad I managed to make you ''Wow!''

Here's a small winter themed acrylic painting just in time for the holiday season.

Happy holidays everybody!
