We've come to an end with today's update. These are some of the latest paintings/sketches i've done.

Livestream & Clonestamp

Part 3

Almost at the end! So I have been experimenting with the clonestamp tool again, and got crazy in love with it.. again. And I've started a new Livestream, hoping it'll give you some insight in how
i try to work. Very chaotic but maybe you'll find some tips, or inspiration on how to approach things differently. You can find the stream here :

Here are some sketches i've started live and some other experiments

New Website & Experimenting

Part 2 of this massive update.


I've recently put online my new website wich you can visit here :

www.jordiversteege.com

And soon you will be able to buy hand embellished, limited edition prints, all printed and color proofed by me. All will be printed on thick Hannemuhle German Etching paper 310g. Stay tuned!

Here are more recent works, and a screenshot of a current wip!

Delayed but still sketching

It's been months!

Finally time to post some new stuff i have been working on. It'll be alot so I'll split
it into multiple posts.

Okay let's get started.

First off, some photoshop sketches and thumbnails.

 

 

 

Guilty Pleasures

This was pure fun.

 It's just making me feel guilty, Every artist that wants to progress, grow, get "better," knows or should know, that in order to do just that we need to step out of our comfort zone, stop drawing the things we already know how to draw and fail miserably the first time, maybe even the second time or the hundreds of times after that ( sure hope not, dundres would be dreadfull ) but that's the only way there is to get better. FAIL. but dont give up

but sometimes giving in to little pleasures, guilty pleasures..

feels so damn good.

Mine is painting trees.

what's yours?

Anthony Jones & Dryads

Not much to show this week, did this over lunch mostly testing out CS6 and Anthony Jones's tool presets wich is made available for free at Schoolism.com

Been working on some dryads these days, woodpeople, roots, leaves , branches and stuff.. 

I'm really enjoying it, and will be able to show you guys some hopefully soon.

Work In Progress

Here are a few things i've starte these last 2 days.

WIP

Few weird and for personal pleasure of drawing something complety stupid and incorrect..

But some are ready to be taken to the next level imo 

so to be continued!

Mars Rover Curiosity & Monkeys

Sorry for the crappy quality, i'll get the hd up soon

 

 So after hearing at early hour that the mars rover Curiosity has perfectly landed on Mars after a

ten months trip / wich is about 567 milon km.
I just went wild and i knew as an amateur science fan i had to to paint something mars-ish related..

I managed to do this piece tonight. Please be nice -  neverdrawnspacesciencefictionbefore...

Daily Mission

I've lost the habit of painting due to this slacking off..

So I've decided I'd force myself to make at least  one decent sketch everynight.

So these are from the last 2 nights :

 

Amsterdam & The Guardian of the Gate

 Photos taken in Amsterdam

These last couple of weeks been quite slow, lots of festivals and other activities going in the city Spa. I've been slacking around a bit too much maybe ..

With some of the members from our Skype chat "The Beer Crew" we entered the Team Challenge on Conceptart.org. So if you have the time come check us out !

"The Worst People"

So most of the sketches below are to explore ideas etc.. And some collabs with my teammates work

+ ofcourse some of my weird experimental stuff
