More messing around with pastel

It's so relaxing to just doodle with pastel without having to worry about the result. And it applies to painting as well! This one's a sketch from a Thor screencap.

Warming-up!

Pastel sketches

Finally something new!

I've occasionally done some drawing in the last few months. Almost like finding water in the desert. Anyway, there were a few portret assignments -one of which was done in acrylic;)
Here's a sketch I made before starting one of the portret assignments. Next are two storyboard sketches made for the animated project I'm working on with a friend.

New sketch in pastel

Working in pastel is very relaxing!!

More fooling around with pastel...

Pastel exercise...

Bronze

A few days ago I visited TEFAF, together with my father. Needless to say, we encountered wonderful art. What struck me the most however, were the sculptures exhibited by the Sladmore Gallery. Sladmore Gallery is based in London and specialises in fine art bronze sculptures. There were works by Rodin, Barye, Bugatti, Degas, etc. And then there was the work of Prince Paul Troubetzkoy. I had never heard of this Russian/Italian sculptor before, ...what a shame! His work is fantastic! Elegant and bold at the same time. Look at these pictures:

To post something of myself: here a little sketch, drawn inbetween work;(

Glen Keane

Ok, I know this sounds silly, but I've always wanted to see the rough pencil-test of 'Part of your world'. On top is one of the production drawings made by Glen Keane for this scene. It is rumored that while animating the entire scene, he added shadow's to the drawings, to enhance the (sculptural) feel of 3-dimensionality of Ariel. Below are some of his storyboard-sketches for the scene. Oh, if only this scene was to be shown in it's original form..!

Experiment..;)

New sketches

Update...

It's difficult to post new things..., mainly because I'm to busy with work. Here is a nice close-up of a Frazetta picture. There is some new work of my own to post however, I hope to do it soon.

Work

It's been a while since I posted anything of my own art,...interesting things! Unfortunately I've been very busy with my work. I occasionaly draw or sketch, but not as much as I'd like to. When I browse along all the wonderful art-blogs it makes me yearn to be more creative. The following image shows the work of Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington (March 10, 1876 – October 4, 1973), an American sculptor. I only recently discovered her work.
