Quick sketch just scribbling something, still working on improving my time spent, and trying more and more to start right on colour instead of a monochrome start. In this one I probably used 15 min or so, but I didn't focus too much either. Just trying to have a bit fun with it.<br />
<br />
Oh and also I'm on my way to London tomorrow, graduation ceremony and old friends to meet up with. But when I'm back I hope to get time to paint a lot more than I have recently, due to work and a project I cant say anything about just yet, it's not painting, but it's fun.<br />
<br />Yes I have a hard time keeping it short, but that's also going to improve!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

I develop and grow. This is a image I did about the London 2012 olympics, where</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was really disturbed by the enormous military presence. For me it completely ruins the spirit of the event, and having 13.000 soldiers stationed in London, plus antiaircraft guns, hangar ship, jetplanes etc is to me hysterical.</div>

Here is a small update on what I am doing at the moment. This is what I have made so far on my new book for Pan MacMillan "The adventures of Tom Sawyer", where MacMillan wanted me to illustrate a follow up book of the one I did on Huckleberry Finn. At the same time I am working on building my portfolio, so that I can bolster and strenghten my portofolio website. Enjoy!<br /><br />Also: I will update ASAP with new work on my self initiated project, criticising the military presence for the 2012 London Olympics. </div>

And here is the current state of the follow up page, a full page illustration ending the sequence, before the reader is left off to read the rest and imagine the rest for themselfes. But the sequence is right before something big happens in the story, so I wont spoil anything, but build up to the moment.</div>

Well, here is the first page of my graphic novel adaption of the third book in "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, titled "A Storm of Swords". No Spoilers. There is no text yet, but right now I have trouble choosing how its going to look. The last of these three is the least likely, as I am going to use colour in just some few frames, making it get alot more impact when used. On the other hand I am very tempted by the middle one, with an old paper quality, which matches my loose style for this project well. Time will tell, but I will end up with something very close to this soon atleast, if not one of these.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
finished, but I need to explore all the possibilities before choosing a final solution.<br />It doesnt look pretty up close, but it has alot of energy I need to preserve in the final piece.<br /><br />(Its just a sketch!)</div>

There, finished the sketch, so it looks more presentable, I think I have to make one more to see if I am able to do alot of these quickly, now that I know how to make this. And also experiment and find some other way in case this takes too much time to make for my graphic novel.</div>

A sketch of one of the frames in the graphic novel I am making for my Final Major Project.<br />Im still trying to find the right way to render mye work, and I have to find out within this week. So the wolf and about everything does not look right, but then again it is the image as a whole I was trying to figure out.</div>

This sketch took me 10 minutes, 15 minutes top, and I didnt even know what I would end up with. I used no reference or anything really, and most of the time went on the fur, not too happy about this one, but I just have to keep experimenting.</div>

Speed paint. Still trying to find the right expresion for the graphic novel. I got some feedback today and I have to be bolder and try playing more with shadow and light. So next time im posting anything here it might be a bit unfamiliar work, but maybe I will be surprised in a postive way.Filipe Lauritz Matias Fernandeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12962876509119891000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707707786048248096.post-10315980613369258572012-02-12T21:17:00.000+00:002012-02-12T21:17:49.959+00:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Speed Painting, had to experiment a bit, since my project has turned out to become a graphic novel. Therefore I am trying to find a way to illustrate it properly without spending too much time on each frame. (I Might print this out twice and see if some inking on top could do this piece a favor. Anyways, I hope to find the right solution ASAP, so when I do, ill post it right away! :)Filipe Lauritz Matias Fernandeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12962876509119891000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707707786048248096.post-71552058452819100502012-01-31T17:44:00.000+00:002012-01-31T17:44:45.192+00:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just some sketches and a mock up character I did. Im still working on compositions and experimenting(Especially digitally) on my Final Major Project, and its getting very busy. I am mainly sketching in my sketchbook, but this will do for now, and the character is Gregor Clegane from "A song of Ice and Fire". (Unfinished).<br />

Just the sketching stage for now(Sketched in photoshop), its bedtime, but I think this might become a good portrait of Gregor Clegane.Im going to work a bit on it later this week so hope it ends up as an improvent from the previous work ive done.</div>

Still trying to improve the painting digitally. I did this right after my first attempt, the Napoleon portrait. For my last project I think am going to keep it simpler, and use my line art. But this image was a good way to practise. This is Jon Snow and Ghost from a Song of Ice and Fire.<br />
