Fight Club Sketch 1

"Who you were in Fight Club is not who were in the rest of the world." - Fight Club (1999)

 
I have made a few sketches long back while watching Fight Club movie. I've always wanted to take some of them to a finish, so here's me doing just that. I've started with this one and will upload one by one as I finish them.

 

Girl in a Hat

Took out another sketch from my sketchbook and made a painting out of it. I thought this particular piece would be finished quickly. In the end it turned out to be anything BUT quick. I had to struggle a bit with this piece. I have always found drawing women quite challenging. Its not easy capturing a woman's beauty. It just became more obvious while making this painting. In the end, I suppose this piece turned out alright, but I need to practice drawing more women.

 

Cyclops

I think for the first time I'm making a blog post about a painting I made on the same day. Usually I procrastinate when it comes to making blog posts, but not today. I finished this painting couple of hours back & now posting it here. 

This design is based on Cyclops from Uncanny X-Men comic series. I made the initial sketch last year, and took it out to paint today. I was also trying a new painting technique and I like the way it turned out.

Edit: I just realized that I uploaded a flip side image of this on Facebook & Instagram. Shit. Anyway, here's the original image, and this is how its supposed to be.

Man with No Name

This painting is based on the Clint Eastwood's character from the movie A Fistful of Dollars. I think this turned out alright and I like it. I should soon start experimenting with painting without solid black outlines. I will probably do that with the next painting.

Morpheus

There are several sketches that I selected from my sketchbook last year. I liked the way those sketches turned out and decided to take them to a decent level of finish. I wanted to do this last year, but it didn't happen. This year, one of the things I want to do is to turn all those sketches into paintings. Its been going good so far.

This particular painting is based on the character Morpheus from The Matrix trilogy. I'm still figuring out and learning different ways to paint digitally. I find digital painting quite technical at times, with all the layers, properties, brush settings etc. I'm trying to find a way to make the digital painting feel more natural and less technical.

Character Sketch

A simple character sketch focusing on facial expressions. I need to do more of these.
