Studies of Michael Loos

Hey guys, I've got an announcement to make. This will be the last post for my Challenge. I'll show a few recent experiments, studies and spit-paints, following up with an explanation-rant, why I'm stopping the challenge. Jeez Some of these might even be older than a month. spitpainting (Spitpaintings are speedpaintings without photos don in a maximum of 30 minutes) spacecowboy turret mech thing spitpainting jungle scout spitpainting most recent spitpainting astronout wizard 1 h just for fun alien queen advanced version of a spitpainting 2.5 hrs Harlequin demon advanced version of  a spitpainting 2.5 hrs done a few month back, cropped for this post, took about 4 hrs all in all I've come a long way, I realized that now. 4 Years ago, when I was still in military service, I was literally lying in the dirt, and sleeping outside at -7 °C and now I'm in my snugly command-chair in my home office, doing my own thing and enjoying the life I envisioned back then. I've stru...

Hi guys! I'm quite productive as of late... this is as always a little less than half of the stuff i've done this week... wow.. its true, i swear! :D I figured out a problem that i was having... It took a bit long for me to get it but i guess I understand it now. I didn't want to work on some asignments, and because of that i didn't draw and paint quit as much. Seeking distractions from those tasks i want to avoid... Last week i stood up early one day and because of my right foot situation, i couldn't go to design school. So i was up, and didn't want to go back to sleep. So i made a study, trying to use the lasso tool evectively, which you can find below. After that i went on to one of those tasks and painted 6 hours on it, with a few short breaks in between. The point being, that after the little work, done in the morning, i've had a lot more energy to work on every little other task at hand. I worked from 9am to like 10pm and felt like i got shit done that...

Well my dear Followers... Its been a few days again. A Post has been long overdue... Just a couple of things to say before I update u on my latest paintings and such. Last Sunday I fell, on my way back home attaining this beautiful-piece-of-shit ligaments Rupture in my right ankle, once again. Now that one week has passed, I hope i can go back to the academy tomorrow, but it kinda still hurts and I will have to wear this splint for a couple more weeks... That being said a test diploma will be due in a few weeks and this situation makes things a bit complicated. So One could imagine that I'm a bit stressed, but not really. The time where i bother with this kind of stuff seems to be over. Although I want to deliver good work, stressing myself to accomplish something I don't really think is necessary, isn't part of that deal for me anymore. I'm probably gonna cry the last few days and make it out with a c- or something like that, not that i'd be against any better mark...

So guys. One year has passed and I decided i wanted to make a review of what happened during that time. I'll devide it in 3 Steps, which i think will show my progress. And after that I'll show some Brand new stuff I've been working on.(Diploma Work excluded) __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ So this is it for the paintings that lead up to what i'm doing now. Those were mostly studies but hopefully there is some Progress to be seen. Now here are some of the more recent sketches/studies I have to say they felt somewhat easy and fun compared to the Paintings I've done half a year back,  yet they are still some little fun things I did on the side. study from photo In this progression I think you might see some evolution and how my technique is evolving, but as always, I'm never quite satisfied with the things that I've got.
