Boys and Girls

I'm really busy with a personal project right now, so I don't have as much time for experimenting as I would like to have. But I managed to draw those two at least. I always try to get more of this sketchy feeling of my sketchbook sketches and drawings in my illustrations, though I often fail.
But I think this time...I got it!

Painter

This might look a bit different from the illustrations I usually do, because I used painter for the whole picture and drew only some details in photoshop. I'm taking a "Painter"-class this semester and I have to draw two pictures in Painter for that to show that I'm capable of using Painter. So I started without having any idea about the final painting and I ended up with this.

I think I like it. Sometimes it's nice to just draw and not think about to much while doing it.

I took two process shots at the beginning but then forgot to take some more during painting...So just these two then:

There you are!

I had to do a piece with the theme "agent" for my art rep. I was a bit unproductive in case of drawing any real pictures after the holidays, so I just practised stuff and played around until I finally started the drawing. I played a bit with textures again and tried to leave the guy as simple as I could and not get bogged down in details, like I do sometimes.
Here are the sketches:

Fashionable Cover

Happy New Year everyone! 

No, of course I didn't work for the Vogue, but we had the assignment to draw a fake cover of an existing fashion magazine in my fashion illustration class. So the first one that came into my mind was the Vogue! I guess the piece is not really fitting for the Vogue but I love those dreamy nature fashion editorials, which were the inspiration for this.
