Okay so, here’s some drawings and flash I’ve done in class and then colored at home with markers and watercolour pencils.
Some of the pics are bit blurry and the colors are a bit off due to my lack of scanning equipment and skills in photography.. : D
Don’t mind the photos… This is on the cover of my portfolio done in school.
Comments & critique welcome!
nice pieces of art there buddy, there is a market for good flash, you just need some decent coulour pencils now and decent paper to work on….. as was said allready prisma color pens and pencils are the best to use…. most that try them say they are the dogz bollox :rolleyes:
i certainly look forward to seing some more of your work
Butterfly_Kisses: Yeah it’s a jellyfish. 😛
JamesRussom: I’ve done them at class on my sketchbook. I think it’s basically only a bit thicker than the average copying paper, definetly not proper watercolor paper which I know I should use… but it’s just so damn expensive :D. I’ve been thinking on buying some proper watercolors and paper and start experimenting with them when I have some spare cash.
Thanks for the comments! 🙂
[edit] Outlaw: yeah might as well buy some proper watercolor pens. These Derwent ones are just a bit… crappy.
Some more flash practice, made this few weeks ago.
This one is actually done on some low quality watercolor paper. I think the colors are better on this one but more practice is needed. That ribbon with the text(whatever it is really called my english vocabulary isn’t yet that good) blends too much with the background and that red globe behind the razor.. it just doesn’t work.
Tell me what you think!
You should really study the style your trying to put down.Its good but this style has laws that are very strong.1/3 black shading 1/3 medium color to 1/3 highlight.Dont be afraid to blend a darker color to a lighter one and with the prisma color set get a blender to make the light colors fade to your edges.Good paper if found alsmost everywhere prismas work best on recycled paper .good luck dude
Thanks for the advice. I’ve been looking a lot of old & newschool tattoos lately. One of my favorites is Matzon from Zombie Tattoo, Finland. Check it out if interested: http://www.zombietattoo.fi/kuvat/flash/flash.html
I’ve been trying to copy his style a bit to learn the shadings and lines etc.
I’ll keep on practicing and posting images as soon as I get some proper equipment and something finished.
Thank you for the feedback :)!
My friend turns 18 next saturday so I decided to do a birthday card for him.
The text says: “Happy Birthday Lauri!” in finnish.
I somehow managed to f*ck up the contrast in this one, but I’m quite happy with how it turned out.
The paper I’m using is still some low grade watercolour paper, so it began to “wear” as I added more layers. That reddish shade behind the ribbon doesn’t work, should have made it green or something… and that orange “sun” should be a bit more colorful. I’ll fix it when it’s completely dry.
Criticism & comments welcome!
[edit]: Oh and by the way, tomorrow I’ll be inked for the first time! Sooo excited!
Sherav: Yeah the eyes and the hat need some work also.
As my first tattoo I’m getting an old-school titanic-like steamboat with an aztec figurehead and faces on the funnel pipes(chimneys? funnels? whatever…) on the back of my forearm. Takes about five hours to finish and it costs like hell, but it’ll definetly be worth it as the sketch drawn by the artist I saw earlier was pure awesomeness.
Butterfly_Kisses: Thanks! I haven’t drawn butterflies that much, but maybe I’ll give it a try when I’m in the mood 🙂
