Just a few of my drawings from different periods. I will add more and explain better too

The first drawing I ever scanned. Brewster Buffalo drawn with a pencil and toned in paintshop pro. This was in 1997. As the internet was hardly worth mentioning then, I used a scale model as a reference.

I decided to draw something in blue, because I was out of orange, yellow and red crayons.. I used my girlfriend as reference and had read too much much Lovecraft. I kind of like the lightness of it, but the window didn't turn out too nicely.

A drawing from my school note book, 2002. I still find it rather cute on some level. I used two ball point pens, black and red. As I used a notebook, I had to add contrast in photoshop to diminish the lines on the paper.

One of the first photoshop images I ever drew. It was somewhere in the summer of 2003 and the level of detail is horribly low. The sky and the pants especially... :,)

I was apparently fascinated by green. Too bad I wasn't such as master at using it. I pretty much like the concept and composition in this one, but I clearly didn't have the skill and the patience to make any kind of decent textures. The pose was also rather difficult to visualize in my head, a rather challenging one considering that a while later I gave up on drawing humans. Note that somewhere around here I also developed a fetish for framing my paintings, a bad habit that I was able to kick later.

This one shows more attempt and is probably one of the last images where I even tried to draw a human figure for a long time. I can see this was still a time when I didn't want to use black in the shadows. Luckily I gave up such nonsense.

An example of my earlier drawings with Photoshop 5.0 and a wacom graphire tablet. I seemed to have a pathological interest in bright colors back then.

A bit later than the previous, still the same gear, but a tiny bit less bright. I wasn't fully happy with the mech's legs and the rock on the left gave me tremendous amounts of trouble, but taught me a lot of patience.

A black and white painting for a hockey lunatic friend of mine. Just a silly little request without too much artistic thought behind it.

One of the latest. Photoshop 6.0 and the same old beaten graphire. Quite muddled colors and I didn't stop to check the perspective once. It also looks disturbing in 40x30 print... anyone want one?

The initial sketch and the two versions with many years in between. It's interesting to see how the styles and techniques evolve... I am also more loyal to the sketch in the latter version, but have adopted several key features from the older version. Notice that there are no pigs. ;-)

And finished it. There are several things that I am not pleased with, but I wanted to finish it anyway. :-P The CS2 and Volito2 were a real burden.

At 7200 pixels high, it's gonna be a lot of detailing, but
I am making some progress, and I am also getting used to
CS2 and Volito 2. All the constructive criticism is welcome, but try to point where the problem is rather than saying:
"Hi, the colors suck and the perspective is wrong, byeee!"

And finished, a lot of details that I don't like, but can't push myself to finish. Signed and ready to move on with other projects.

Working on a self-portrait now. Not overly excited, but we'll see how it turns out.
