Hemske's art/sketchbook

[Hemske]

So well, since I started digging into art more and now frequently actually draw stuff I figured I might start one of these kind of threads as well.

Heartgirl

Noble Wombat

Tangled

Pikachu

 

[morbent]

Wow! I love the third one ^^ It's soo cooool.

And the orc is awesome as well

 

[Heinvers]

Personally I like that orc. His abdomen seems a bit flat. But as I said it's good.

 

[Hemske]

Thanks guys, I'll be posting some more stuff soon to let you see what I've been up to lately.

 

[Hemske]

Sooo Uhh yeah I didn't post much here I see. I'll post a couple more unfinished work and sketches, here you go. I'll try to be more active. I'm sorry I don't got any "finished" works, I tend to lose interest in the images before I finish them a lot of times.

Edit: (would the last one be considered offensive or something? Just let me know and I'll remove it if that is the case.)

 

[Heinvers]

Awesome, I love that red haired girl, more shading and it would be good, keep working

 

[Hemske]

Thanks man, I am not sure I will find the motivation to finish that particular piece though, but perhaps some day (I'll probably redraw if it comes to that)

Anyway, this piece I'm posting here will be finished, but here's the sketch!

 

[morbent]

Wow! This has a lot of movement

!! I love it !!

 

[Heinvers]

I love it too. The colors could be something like green-orange or golden for the clothes, brown or silver hair and maybe green or blue eyes.
just a rough idea.
===================
I do hope you'll finish that red haired girl tho^^

 

[Hemske]

Uhhh alright alright then Heinvers! Today I spent some more time on the red haired girl, more like brown I guess but whatever Something feels a bit off with her though, but I can't decide what it is.

And actually, the ranger's color scheme is as a matter of fact green/orange. I've painted it a bit as well but I'll wait with posting it until I've finished more of it.

 

[Heinvers]

Hmm, I would say either the cheeks, forehead or jaw. With a lil' bit of adjustments it could be right. I'm loving the outcome so far^^

 

[Hemske]

Here, have a Pikahu!

Open

 

[Heinvers]

Cool, effective as electrical gun against bad moods

If you made it it's sweet, if you didn't, it's still sweet :>

Haha, it's mine alright, maybe that'll make it super-sweet?

 

[Heinvers]

Oh, then sure, NOW it's super-sweet
Well, you could also make a bulbasar seeing that you have one on your profile background

 

[Hemske]

Hooray!

Oh well, I am actually a big-time bulbasaur fan. I'm not sure myself why I made a Pikachu first, perhaps I'll do a Bulbasaur. Maybe even tonight D:

 

[Hemske]

My latest work, started doing some film still studies. You really learn a lot about colors from doing these.

Checkitoutgoddamnit

 

[Heinvers]

Whoa, that's freaking awesome goddammit The light and shadows are pretty good. Although the hair needs a lil moar attenzion, the color palette used here emphasizes the scene pretty darn good.

 

[Hemske]

Some new stuff.

 

[Heinvers]

Cool, is that a furry in man clothes?
It's super duper awesome sauce right now.

I'm curious what will come out of that women sketch (the native american one)?

 

[morbent]

Ooo awesome! I hadn't seen those new ones before Hemske ^^! Keep it up!

 

[Hemske]

@Hein, Well, yeah basically. It was for an assignment in a course I am undertaking where you're supposed to merge an old painting with an animal of your choice. Lot's of crazy submissions I can assure you
You might have to stay curious then because I kind of grew bored of that one, but I'll make re-do it though some day.

@Morb, I will!

Another 50%~ finished painting from today.

 

[Hemske]

New sketch, and heart-girl plus Noblewombat updated.

moar

 

[Heinvers]

I see that the girl had a change of hearts if you get the point

I really like how the Noblewombat looks now <3
Dat's shading ;p

 

[Mad]

Really cool stuff, Hemske
Got to love the color compositions!

 

[Vinz]

Woah, nice thread. <3

The second to the last pic though, the face is compressed to the bottom. The last pic gives much anticipation to what the final result is.

 

[Hemske]

Thanks all of you guys. I appreciate that.

I've worked a bit on another study, this time from the WOD trailer.
Hopefully I'll be finishing my entry for the fan art contest and perhaps even work a bit further on the Wombat tomorrow.

I also made a traditional drawing today, the quality of the picture is crap due to being taken by my phone but no matter.

 

[Heinvers]

Ducks?

Nice, the Blood Pact scene, keep 'em drawing hard

The face begins to resemble Grommash already.....still wondering where did that Bulbasaur go :?

 

[Hemske]

DUCKS?! You call my precious goose, ducks?...

That's just.. well. Alright then.


Thanks though, oh well. The bulbasaur is on vacation. Some day. A lot of projects and a lot of things I want to draw D:

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Nice stuff you have here!
Keep up the good work!

 

[Vinz]

The Grom is as creepy as a ghost, cool!

 

[Hemske]

Thanks guys!

Another update on the Noble Wombat. Getting some texture in there. Really starting to turn out pretty great.

Awesomeness

 

[Heinvers]

Love the texture, it really gives a sense of nobleness ?

 

[Vinz]

The texturing is awesome! I wish I could do it like that.

 

[Hemske]

Well. Whatever you say Hein But thanks.

Anyway, just finished an update on my heartgirl once more.

Edit: Aaaand the link did not work.

[Heinvers]

*jaw drops* wutttt? that's pure awesomness in thar man <3

...that light....

 

[Hemske]

The texturing is awesome! I wish I could do it like that.

Thanks! It's actually the first time I'm trying my hands on a fur material like this, and so far I'm quite happy with the outcome.

*jaw drops* wutttt? that's pure awesomness in thar man <3

You spoil me with your kind words bro. :3

 

[Vinz]

The lighting looks cool. Mind sharing tips?

 

[Hemske]

The lighting looks cool. Mind sharing tips?

Well absolutely, I love to help out people

I don't really know what I can say unless you specify a bit more though.

But something to think about is to use a wide variety of colors. For example, on the heart's lighting I've used like very saturated yellow, and almost pure white, also a reddish more subtle yellow as well as an orange glow.
It's easy to think if you want a yellow glow for instance you just get a really bright yellow and a soft brush and you got a nice looking yellow light. But the result is rarely looking good or believable that way. You also need to think about how the colors interact with other colors. Like how the light on her shoulders seems a bit orange. I've actually only used bright yellow and yellow-ish white there, but when that tint of color interacts with the color of the girl's skin it ends up looking a bit orange.

If I would have used a orange color for the light there it would have looked very weird and not lighted at all actually. So don't forget stuff like that

 

[Hemske]

Gaaaarh, I did a photostudy today, the scarf and her lips are killing me. I just can't get them to look the way I want. Anyway, have a look.

And as a grand final, HEINVERS, look at the sketch. It's soon here I say, soon here! After the long wait I've finally got my head around it.

Coming soon, Bulbasaur fanart.

Study

For you, Heinvers.

 

[Heinvers]

You're my hero. Yay

@The scarf girl, I think that the lips could be moved a bit to the left and the scarf would love more shadows and a bit of redrawing :/

@Sleeping Bulbasaur, I love that you made him like he's sleeping under a tree branch, nothing to criticize or shoot at as of now :>]
I imagine some tall grasses in thar though.

Haha, Thank you for your tip, I'll move them a bit and see if that looks better. You might be right, now that you say that, they are a bit too much to the right perhaps.
The scarf really would, it really would, I've already redrawn it like three times. Damn scarf, it gives me nightmares. But I probably will end up redrawing it once more, because I feel like it destroys the whole image, it really is the weakest link.

Bulbasaur will get loads of grass and loads of awesome shade from the leafs above it. So your imagination is not wrong at all, sir.

 

[Heinvers]

A trial of error and success constantly. I feel you man

 

[Vinz]

Scarf Girl; right face is a bit empty and wide. Also the scarf itself needs a little bit of outline. Additionally the color layer overlapped on the hair on the right side. Good work though.

Ooh there are multiple parts where the color from the scarf overlap the hair actually now that you mention it, thanks.

 

[Vinz]

Oh, and I do not think the scarf needs to be redrawn. Just some more detail on the bottom right part, more shading as a whole and a darker color.

 

[Idaero Ace]

Like Mythic's comment. Her left face is kinda weird. Also the face looks like looking forward, but the position looks like a little bit left. Well, I guess it's because the lips. And also the ear, should be moved a little forward. It's also too high. That's all only based on my vision though.

 

[Vinz]

Left?.. oh, right. xD

Sorry, I was judging from viewer's perspective, not the girl's.

That's true but I think the cheek bones or cheeks should be given more details (or shades) in order to fix the misleading perspective as of now. It's up to your imagination Hemske.

On a side note, you should/could also make the nose a bit narrow-er.

 

[Hemske]

Whoa this is the biggest amount of comments I've ever got on anything here. I'm not sure if that means my art is worse than usual or if you guys just are in critique-mode, but let's hope the latter

Anyway, thanks all of you, as I said I didn't really feel happy about it, but I decided to post it at the current state to see if anyone could give me pointers, and apparently you got pointers for me. I'll look into these things tomorrow. I really appreciate it.

She is supposed to be turning her head in a sliiight angle, but perhaps her facial features should be a bit fine-tuned where they are placed for this to come out.
It might simply be lack of shading actually, Hein. Just like you're saying.
