I know it's pretty late, it's almost Friday, but these could also be considered to be good for illustrationfridays topic of this week. I reached 15 faces, hmm, there are 15 more to come, stay tuned :) I can't wait to see them all together. If you'd like to recommend me character types, don't hesitate and tell me! Feel free to check out my other characters in the previous posts of my blog.

2012

2011-12-31T23:01:00.000+02:00

I wish a happy new year to everyone! Thank you for your support this year, it meant a lot to me, even if for a long time i was pretty passive ... I had a busy year, I was busy working, I started doing photography more seriously, and I kinda started experimenting a little, I have tons of ideas and at the same time I have to work too. Recently I started working as an illustrator ... which is very exciting, I can't wait to see where will I get. I hope this new year will bring me lot of good things, and of course to you too, and that our wishes will come true next year!
Have a great evening, the last one in 2011!

Faces Nr. 8-10

2011-12-23T21:01:00.000+02:00

Unfortunately I had no internet connection for a few weeks, and I couldn't upload my works and I couldn't link them with illustrationfriday.

The first image was supposed to be linked with "Separated" and the last one with "Sink".

Face Nr. 8:

A composer knows that music is written by human beings for human beings and that music is a continuation of life, not something separated from it. ~ Hanns Eisler

'I can be very reserved about things. My business side isn't shy. I can be like a general. But I've got a shy side. I'm also a lot deeper than people think, and a lot more sensitive. But I don't let people in too much.'
Michael Bay

Round - Face Nr. 6

These faces are too pretty and normal, I have to focus from now to create some different ones.
(at least I have some spammers in the chatbox, instead of visitors, hurray:D)

Face Nr. 4-5 - Vanity, Silent

2011-11-23T15:36:00.008+02:00

I didn't have enough time to draw for "Silent", last weeks topic of illustrationfriday, so I upload it together with "Vanity"

"Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people." ~ Garrison Keillor
"I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows." ~ Emily Carr

Face Nr. 2 - Stripes

2011-11-04T18:10:00.010+02:00

This is one of the 30 faces, lots of freckles and hair and lines, it matches very well with illustrationfriday's topic, so ... Btw, I could use all of my other newest drawings to post here, they are all stripes and black and white.

2011-10-20T21:31:00.004+03:00

I wasn't pretty active in the last weeks, months ... which doesn't mean that I abandoned this blog at all. This summer I was working on a personal project, which I hope will lead me to my own distinct style in illustration, and I don't need anybody to help me with that, but me.
The 30 days project is about developing my spontaneous drawings and slowly transform them into illustrations. I started it on 14-17 of June, and it took more than 30 days, because unfortunately I wasn't able to draw everyday, even if i wanted to. I meant, it took finishing it, but every drawing of it was made in 1 day, and they do reflect my mood.

You can view the entire project on my Behance account.

I have plenty of ideas and never I'm never focused on just one, which won't lead me forward, unfortunately.
Future projects and processes will be posted soon, If I can manage starting and finishing them.

Also, I started the 365 days photography project, you can follow it on my Facebook page.

This is a book written by Boér Péter, and illustrated by me. It contains more than 10 short novels, and these are the illustrations I made for them. The book's title in English means: "Down with the chains".

-drawn with pencils, black ink, some watercolor, slightly digitally edited (color correction)
-the cover was drawn with pencils and black ink, it was painted later in Photoshop CS3

Study

2010-11-29T21:39:00.008+02:00

I've studied the portraits of some very talented artists. Since I had no idea how to start a pretty detailed portrait, I decided to make one just for fun, and go through every 'lessons' for my own good. I've found out that it is recommended to use different colors, not only on the face, but everywhere. I used a sketch of mine (the previous one, called 'ME'), which doesn't really look like this one, but it wasn't my intention to make a painting of that one, it was just a reference. If I have time I start painting some still-lifes, or other portraits that would help me develop my skills. Until that, I hope you like this one! (this is not the original painting, i cropped it because the background is not finished, yet+this will also go through some changes too)

I've found this fashion magazine the other day in a store, and figured out it is full of reference photos. Which is pretty awesome because it can be used while sketching stuffs, just as well as the posemaniacs. I recommend this or these kind of books to other artists, it helps a lot, really, + it's full of awesome new trendy clothes :D
