Welcome back! Those recent experiments and exercises look pretty good. Nice job

[Pistonhit]

Thanks @cedricgo glad you like them! I'm searching for fun ways to draw and practice recently. Been a bit bored of the stuff I usually do.

Todays figure warmup from refs done with Marcs drawing brush from his pack. About 2-5 Minutes each..

Also testing some more brushpacks for a traditional painting style. If you guys can recommend some brushes let me know.. I'm not sure how to use them properly yet, but this quick painting was done with some brushes from LaneDraws..

Just posting some more warmup drawings from the past few days. : )

2-5min pose drawings

30 min portrait study

[Pistonhit]

Some more quick portraits for practice. : )

2h

Hi! Been playing around with some brushpacks and to speed up my process.

Not sure when to stop polishing things yet tho... I might want polish this one a bit more. I want to keep the rough look, without overworking everything but I feel like it's not enough yet.

[Pistonhit]

Polished this one from previously a little.

Some warmups from the past days. Been practicing the loomis head a bit. mostly from imagination.

Used some refs here. On the right some 30 secs figure drawings, and like 10 min portrait practice on the left. Would love to get some nicer results when sketching digitally tho..

I'm in study mood right now, so I decided to dive into sculpting again, this time in Blender. Going for a more realistic look on this one while working with foto refs. Everything is still a bit wonky, but I hope to get this one to a level I'm satisfied with soon. Also eager to do the hands (not).

Actually first sculpted this one and then decided to use foto refs.

Continued with some Details. : )

Made some minor changes, and trying around with some interesting lighting setup for rendering. Currently working on the hands and feet next.

Wow, you have some amazing pieces! I particularly like the way you render your characters - very cool. It seems like you have experimented a lot with different styles

I don't have any experience with 3d modeling, but it looks like the recent work is progressing well. I find drawing hands difficult, so I can not imagine sculpting them in 3d

[Pistonhit]

Thanks @mads.blinkilde I'm glad you like them Yes I'm trying out new stuff every now and then, just to not get bored and improve!

Calling the sculpt project finished now. I learned quite alot in the process and am happy with the result!

[Pistonhit]

Hi everyone, I wish you a happy new year!

Made this sculpt just for fun and practice in order to get faster and more efficient.

[Pistonhit]

Having too much fun with Blender

[Pistonhit]

Another one done. Currently playing around with some vertex paint on this one.

[cedricgo]

Those sculptures are looking really awesome!

[Pistonhit]

Did quite some sketches and unfinished stuff I didn't post until now. Also a tribute drawing of Goku. R.I.P. Toriyama

Also did some portrait practice recently

Other Sketches

[Pistonhit]

Stylized heads from imagination! Done as some kind of warmup over the week! 15-30 minutes each. Still looking for ways to make my digital sketches look a bit nicer. Hope you like them!

[Pistonhit]

More heads just for fun over easter holidays. Also happy Easter everyone!

[Pistonhit]

Some more heads. Having quite some fun with those!

[Pistonhit]

And some more! Been painting over them a bit more this time.

Some variants I tried for the old guy using mainly the liquify tool. Someohow looking a bit like Owen Wilson (not intended :D)
