Studies of Michael Loos

So Last week was crazy busy. Prepared my birthday, now I'm 23 and ready to go on. When I look back at things, very much has changed and there are plenty of awesome things still coming up. Now for this week, At least I've got some Mech sketches done. Where studies are concerned the following weeks will be dedicated toward my big problems in Anatomy which are mostly drawing legs and feet. I'll do one-hundred drawings of feet and legs before I go on to studying the next subject I suck at which will probably be something more painterly or texture/material studies like environments. For painting I have to catch up to my design-school work... I'll show some of them. Maybe already next week. Have a greate one, regards Mitch

Hey :) Here the process of the painting. first the sketch, then basic mood, then slowly indicating light and shade, and then just back and forth adding details and setting the lights. Now, why did I think I have made a major breakthrough? Well that is because, I let go of my doubts. I mean I know I'm still not as good as I could be but it is definitively getting there. Last Friday I was at gamescom. It was amazing, a lot of fun and i got so many new impressions. It is so good to see the aftermath of what you will be creating some day and especially to meet the audience. Well I started the day pretty early at 7am to go there and I left at 7.30pm. After I came back I could barely move from the howl walking but I was so enthusiastic that I sat down and started sketching, right after I made some black tea and drank two cups. The energy I suddenly had was a miracle to me, I just wanted to paint and it all worked. I was never before that organised while working on a piece and the story i

Its pretty late right now, so i'll do the writing tomorrow evening. Got a lot to say :) 23 hours of painting.

Major Breakthrough. I was at Gamescom Cologne today and had an incredible breakthrough. Just wanted to let you know that I tackled a personal piece right after going there and the things happening over here are amazing... Can't wait to let you know more, but that thing wont be postet until its finished and trust me I will finish it and its gonna blow anything I did before.

Daily sketch I did a little more than that, but i just want to show that guy :P tried myself in inking and added up some watercollor. coloured pencils, Pilot 0.4, Pentel Brushpen and some small wash of watercolor.

Here the sketches for today :)

 Here are todays studies, i streamed the top one but failed somehow the streams quality wasn't good. both studies took about 2 hours each.

Hi Guys, So As promised yesterday, today i got The new Piece for you. Cybernetic Voyager The Deathline had a little interruption last week I earned some money skipping my hometown for 27hrs... However as you can see i worked none the less. Tomorrow I think I'll do some landscape studies. Maybe I even life-stream them. I have to get better at landscapes and especially at painting futururistic cities for my diploma. Maybe showing some paintings fits this blog better then random sketches, although I think I'm getting a lot out of em... Now that I've got my Intuos the working process was a lot more fun somehow and even faster. It also goes easy on my Hand, so that I can work a long time, before I have to take a break. Well I guess I haven't got as much to say as during the previous weekly weigh-ins, maybe next week. Until then ;) Have a great one regards, Mitch

Hi Guys, I jogged 10km(6.3mi) today and I'll sleep bloody well tonight. Here are the daily sketches. I did these silhouette- thumbs for a new project. Now I'll have to paint one of em. Have a greate one Bye bye :)

Hey Guys Because I'm a man of my Word. Here is some more explanation, why I created this blog and how I intend to  go on. Lets start by talking about my first Goal. #1 Was to create an awesome diploma, which I'm proud of and that could also function as my Portfolio. My design-school does basically teach everything you could come across in the whole design industry. This is not a bad thing but it is tiring for sure. In this diploma you are supposed to do the the marketing of your product, check if the design is coherent, and if anything else around it fits together too. Well You know, I want to do Illustration and it just comes to short if I would do it like most of the other students of my school. And I wont waste one day rerunning one semester to do the job right... So i thought about it and came up with a little plan. Right now I'm at a stage, where I am confident in my skills. I'm still not as good as I could be and therefore I want to do more, but I also know that j

Hey Guys this is the sketchpage from today on din A3(12x17in). Pilot ballpoints, Pentel Brush Pen and some watercolor. There will be no post on Saturdays.  ;) Have a nice day :)

There it is my sketch-page for the day. The idea is to keep these small updates short, in order to save time. Posts where I'll write some more and rant about bothering stuff, will come at the end of each week. These Post will contain finished artworks if i got around to finish something that week. Have a Greate one. regards Mitch

http://loomic.blogspot.de/ This is my new blog.

Hi there.  This is Mitch or Michael Loos aka Loomic. I study Communication-Design near Cologne Germany. I aim for a career in the entertainment design industry as an Illustrator,Animator and Concept-artist. In a distant future I want to produce great content like Films and Games, but first I want to work and get into the industry. Roughly eight month ago, I started the Crimson daggers Deathline challenge. My goals were essentially the following: To paint 48 paintings, to do sports and get super healthy and fit and to go on writing a chapter of my book each month. But in may last year i got RSI, because of my reckless wish to get better at any cost. It got to the point where anything I held caused sharp pain in my wrist and thumb joints. The Doc put my right arm, form Hand to elbow, in cast and when he removed it, two weeks later, he said there was nothing I could do to improve my condition other than to take breaks and that this condition would never turn back to a state where I could
