Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, y'all! These three Munch inspired screaming ghostfaces pretend to see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil.

Didn't have the chance to draw much personal stuff in the last few days but I've just finished this.

Step by Step














Some of you guys were curious about my workflow in general so here's a little "step by step" piece of one of my latest projects I'm working on right now for the Sunstorm Festival in Germany.

I have to admit that sometimes it really starts with me posing awkwardly in front of my MacBook webcam to get a reference before starting with the first rough sketch. When I'm satisfied with this sketch I'm always printing it in A3 to draw the final linework on top of it, using tracing paper and my beloved Pentel brush pen (and that's always my most favorite part of the action). After finishing and scanning the linework I'm always cleaning the outlines using Adobe Photoshop before tracing it in Adobe Illustrator, where I'm picking the final color palette and coloring it with my own custom brushes.

For the final finishing, I'm adding textures I've collected via Photoshop, giving the clean vector illustration a more "edgy" look and sometimes doing a final color correction overlay. Basically that's it! I hope this small description answers some of your questions but I'm still having to reply to a lot of emails from you guys. I'm giving my best to answer all of 'em soonish, ...I swear!

Thanks for supporting me and my artwork constantly and thanks for all the nice words and comments! I really appreciate it! – Cheers!

META x VERDI




New sunday project: Customizing this blank bisque porcelain bust of Verdi (manufactured by Wagner & Apel Reichenbach). Finished this custom after nearly 7 hours of work and I really enjoyed painting this bust. (Controlling my shaky fingers was hard, though) Hope you guys like it! Expect more works like this in the near future.
