Stufffff

Hey everyone,

To my big surprise one of my pictures got selected to be a DD yesterday. Captain Bird
Which resulted into over 10.000 views.. the highest i had ever had on any picture.. ever! :S

Which is cool ofcourse!, i feel kinda honored but not entirely..
Cuz im gettin the credits for it, though it was a collaboration with Monotony

So he deserves the credits to! :)

Anyway,, things are going pretty well for me lately.
I got quite some work and its starting to become more and more..
I just have to find time to do stuff for myself and keep studying.. ( Cuz thats the key ;) )

And updating.. :D

Im a little lazy with the scanner..
And if i am scanning and uploading paperwork it will prolly not end up here.
Most of my paperwork ends up in my Conceptart.org sketchbook.
Which can be found here: CA Sketchbook RBeek
You can watch my progress from day 1 to now. And how much i still have to learn ;)

Ohwell! Hope i can keep you guys updated with all the stuff im going to do, draw or paint :)

We'll Keep in touch ;)

Greetings XX :D

Hello everyone!

Today i decided to update this little blog!
Its been a while and quite some stuff happened over the last month.

My exposition on the 18th of June will not continue!
Yet i will prolly get my own exposition in September or so.. if all goes well.
So thats super awsome! XD
In the mean time i will be focusses on making oil paintings.
That stuff is really new to me so i gotta learn.
And have made a lot shit.. stuff that is not worth to be shown XD
All practice i guess :)

Anyway.. its not like i havent done anything these last few weeks.
You can check it out in my sketchbook on my website: www.beek-art.com

Now to leave some visuals:

1 Month Later.

Hey everybody!


Its been almost a month since my last update.
I have been working on a big project and so was unable to really make pieces for myself.
But now after 1.5 year of drawing it is starting to pay off slowly...
My skills have improved about 400% XD And im starting to get more confident to send my own stuff out to companies.

Anyway, I have done alot of sketchwork which you can find on my website. www.beek-art.com
And have started to experiment with oil paint. Which is super cool stuff!!
Yet really hard to use :/
But practice makes perfect! So i'll battle some more with it.

In about a month a exposition will open with some of my work.
When that happends i will take some pictures and upload it here :)
More details will follow!

For now i just got some stuff i want to share with you peeps!

peace out!

A little update

Friday's stilllifes

Hey everyone,

Last friday i was busy with making some still lifes.
This was made for study and for me to improve in painting different materials.
The living room was a shitload of work.
And since it was during day and painted life, i kept changing the light.
Which made it all alot harder ;)

Enjoy!!

Sketchpages from today and yesterday :) (monday, tuesday)

Hey peeps,

Have been quite busy over the weekend.
And yesterday and today where dedicated to some paper work.
There is more,, but its not worth showing :)
Ive tried to get more into character design. Since i totally suck at it.

These two days have showed me i should work more on my figures and gestures.
And also that i have no idea how to draw a good face on a character! :)

Lots of stuff to work on!!!

Anyway, enjoy.
