These buildings are just unreal awesome. Really fantastic work!

Thanks guys, always appreciate the kind words! Worked on thumbnails for a few hours today so nothing much to show besides an ink drawing and a value painting from reference.

Really need to copy my values from an asaro head because I've forgotten the planes of the face...

Got 3/10 thumbnails done so I should be able to post some roughs in 2 days time.

Lukiesartventure · Apr '22

Finished my thumbnails and will be starting my rough sketches tomorrow! Made progress in my painting today though so here's another face from reference.

Lukiesartventure · Apr '22

Back to my normal work schedule. Only had around 1.5 hours to work on my painting + portfolio work.

Setup my perspective grid and started on my first rough today. Realise now I'm being too neat and slow with it, so I will try and pick up the pace.

Congrats on the portfolio pieces!

Lockenheim · Apr '22

Very lovely design! Well done!

Busy week of life! Hoping to have more time on sat or sun.

Lukiesartventure · May '22

Busy birthday weekend too, planned in 20 hours of drawing this week though so should be able to get some good progress in + help some of you guys out if I can.

Here's hour 1/20. My second rough sketch for my viking interior.

Damn, for a rough sketch looks sweet. Love the lil top down view.

Lukiesartventure · May '22

Thanks! Rough 3 of 4 here. Already behind schedule but I'll make up the hours soon.

Hour 3/20

Lukiesartventure · May '22

Rough sketches complete. Going to pick two to move forwards. Which are your favourites?

Apath · May '22

Hey Luk, I really like the building design & sketches you have so far! Do you perhaps use references for each of them? if so, where did you usually get your references and how much of it are you trying to put into your sketches? I genuinely want to get into drawing establishments for background and worldbuilding but can't seem to grasp where to start. Would love to get a respond from you, keep up the good work!

Lukiesartventure · May '22

Hey Apath,

Yep, use references for everything! Usually I collect maybe 5-10 images and then take elements from each that I like and then turn them into something completely new.

When I use reference I'm not trying to copy the pieces in, just trying to take something. It could be using the proportions, or the shapes. For these sketches I'll use my fantasy interior pinterest board and look out what furniture they have. Or how they have designed the walls or columns. Then I'll see if I can take some of that design and reconfigure it into my own

Slowly making progress on the lineart.

Lukiesartventure · May '22

Made some more progress on the clean up. Hoping to have this one finished by tomorrow. Let me know what you think!

Lukiesartventure · May '22

More progress! Linework is taking hours upon hours to finish. But starting to look pretty cool! Any critique/ideas on how to make this Viking Hall even cooler?

danilo_tedde · May '22

Linework looking really clean, good job.
Maybe you could add some torches and/or some creature's cranium on the wall as if its a trophy.
Keep up the great work!

Lockenheim · May '22

I am always impressed. Fantastic work!

Lukiesartventure · May '22

More progress, in the final stage now. Just adding some story telling elements throughout the piece. I think looking back, I might have tackled too large of a room. Might start with some smaller projects to begin with.

Lukiesartventure · May '22

Bada Bing, Bada Boom! Finally finished, much faster than last project but still need to work on my speed! Let me know what you think and if you have any critique!
