Studies of Michael Loos

Hey there Last post was a little sad, but I see some bright and shiny light at the end of the tunnel. Soon there will be some great progress, I feel it. Here is the greater part of the little fun stuff, I had to do for Design-school. This is all I've got right now. There is more but its a client thing i can't show plus some really scribbly tries to do anatomy with a brush-pen. I didn't find the proper way to do it yet, but with the Dwarfs and Jules I think I'm getting there. The Crow study was a lot of fun. I took some time, to render it but really the feathers, this shimmery crap with green and pink and cyan shimmering and shining in it, might be a step or two above my ability. Nonetheless on all of those pieces I grew a tiny bit and I liked that challenge. Maybe figuring out some complex texture stuff could get me forward? Well, lets keep doing that. :) Will do a lot more now, that the pile of work is shrinking rapidly. Plus I found out a lot of amazing things conside

Hi there Today I'm pretty critical about what I achieved within these 50 Days. The past week was and the upcoming two will be totally filled with work for Design-school and "commision work". I'm not happy with the fact, that I didn't do studies and it really bothers me how much I suck when it comes to painting imaginative stuff for commission or class work. Having a client who expects something, really puts pressure on top of what you do, when you yourself think you are not good enough right now. For the past week I barely slept more than 5 hours a night and for somebody who normally sleeps a lot (about 8 hours) this kind of thing sort of amplifies the feeling of failure mentioned above. last friday i did 2 studies here they are. I'll make another one of Tywin I wanted to make him really badass so much... but then I just had to start working on the layout crap... I'll do it again though, right after this or week there should be a lot of room for studying.

All done today. loosening up with A1 graphite hogarth study (fucked up torso length x3) I call it a "blood bros study" because I paint exactly for the time this mix is playing. http://soundcloud.com/maddecent/blood-bros-first-blood/s-ldSiz which is about 39 minutes. Ref from terragaleria.com, found with stumbleupon.com :3 My goal with this is, to learn to establish the drawing correctly and in the shortest amount of time... have a nice one :) crits allways welcome.

The Coming weeks are getting crazy. Nonetheless I'm experimenting again. Tried out some fancy new combo of pastels and brushpen. This guys is awesome... Yoji Shikawa painting solid snake. Amazing guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gJQyVfKZJg This is sort of what inspired me to get into doing something more with the brushpen. All drawings down today. The harpie idea is a little older but i didn'T like the first example... so i tried some new variations and came up with #2, which sucked even worse going over to number 3 which i eventually liked a bit more. The painting process will still be going on and i've got some more paintings coming up but I wana leave something to show for tommrow. Of course there will be more drawings as well ;). Crits are very welcome.(Need to grow!!!) Have a nice one.

Hey Guys, Last Week I promised you something bigger. A dear friend told me this was the best piece I did so far, so I figured, I post the progress this piece took over the last one and a half month. Well, before that I will explain shortly, why i did this piece and why it is somewhat important to me.  In my Design-School we've got all sorts of classes and since I chose Illustration as my Major I've got one class in which we, in this term at least, have to create a Piece Each month. The Topic of this Piece is totally up to us, like many of the projects we work on, the only requirement for this is that we add typography to the piece which should be about 1/3 of the piece(the other 2/3 being the illustration itself).  Two month ago, we went to the zoo again, like we do each year before summer vacation. Long story short, there was one emotion that totally got stuck with me. As we saw the Gorillas my stomach tumbled, as one big old male looked at me with sad yet somewhat dull eyes.

Hey It's a Monday, the first Monday after summer-term-vacation. The first month of my challenge is done. I'm updating the blog now because its about time i write something in here again ... aaand I figuerd out my third goal. Now I'll just mention it quickly and go back to work because there's an awful lot piling up. Last week was one of these weeks, where my motivation took a break. I had to do the designschool stuff again well however here is the third goal. 3# To get a lot more organized and to work with more discipline. These to aspects are needed ofcourse I will need them to reach my to top goals. What this goal means is essentially the way I live. There seems to be a lack of efficiacny in everything I do at this moment. My Artwork for example, I just kinda smear around without plan, only having a few steps in mind... This method works to paint one painting that is ok but it just wont do when I have to do large amounts of illustration work for the diploma. Where as
