Eye & Lips study

I suppose it won't hurt doing a small study in the weekend. I'm expecting to do some more effort tomorrow. I don't want to waste time which I can spend in more useful ways!

Pros:
+ Form
+ Trying to understand the form and seeing through the object

Cons:
- The scribbles, blegh...
- Amount of content

Random drawing sketch

Estimated time: 35 minutes.

Done a scenery while waiting for my class to arrive at the spoken place.

Pros:
+ Texture
+ Form

Cons:
- Perspective
- Proportions in comparison with other objects.

Practicing hand-eye coördination. Lots of work to be done.

Baby steps into the wide world

Coming to think of it and facing the fact. I just became a second-year student at my Graphic Design study course.

First of all, it's going to be tough. And why? I know what awaits me, hard work and the dedication is needed to finish up this year succesfully. Ofcourse I'd be able to round it up nicely if I would do less effort, but that would just be under my standards and since I like a challenge or two... I'm planning to give it my all.

What can you expect me to post here?

My school expects me to post everyday sketches, works and projects and keep it up to date as much as possible. This is a great way for my instructors to see what keeps me busy and how dedicated I am. And hey, I'm sure you'd like to see as well!

That's it for today, I'm off to cook today's meal... Happy drawings all!

Introduction to Thimerit.com!

For the third time, I'm remaking this damn blog! But since it's linked to my personal portfolio site this time I suppose I'll be updating this more frequently.

Welcome to my blog, talking nonsense and thrashing about, that's what I'll be doing! Oh, and showing drawings and (daily) sketches/studies I'm planning to post!

Aside from those things that will appear here, also recent schoolprojects and various studies surrounding my education will appear here. I'm motivated this time to keep it up and fill up this blog!

I'll also fill you in about a few things in my life that's worth mentioning. If I come across a nice quote, surely I'll be sharing that!

First off, my name is Martijn Verstappen, as for my nickname: Thimerit or my old one: Tinusss. Most friends refer to me as simply Martijn, though.

Me being 18 years old at the moment of writing this, making me a young lad. Pretty obvious, though, I just wasted a few seconds of your life!
Aside from that, I age up on the 18'th of November, making me Scorpio and thus pretty stubborn. But still.. I'm a really nice guy, trust me... Muahaha...?

My goal to life... Good one, I'd love to become a Game Designer... Especially on the Concept Artistic side of it. Inventing new ideas, new plots and new schemes is so thrilling that I'd love it all equally as much. But the problem is, am I having enough talent and enough motivation to become one of the better Concept Artists? We'll see what future brings me... :)

After a year of failing my education to get accepted into the Graphic Design world (2008), I took my chances to try again and succeeded. And now, the upcoming posts will inform you about my recent works, studies and anything aside from that!

Anyway, that's it for now, Cheers people!
