I've been wanting to colour this one for a long time and finally got round to it.

50/50

2011-11-23T22:31:00.001+01:00

I've been reading a lot of Walt Stanchfield's Drawn to Life again recently and it inspidered me to do some sketching while watching 50/50.

Also 50/50 is a beautifull and funny film that succeeds taking a heavy subject as cancer without becoming over-dramatic.

Tutankhamun Sketches

2011-10-05T17:08:00.000+02:00

This summer I went to the Tutankhamun exposé in Brussels this summer.
It was an amazing exposé. Here are the sketches I did.

Series on Series 2 - Mad Men

2011-07-27T11:45:00.000+02:00

About roughly a year ago I said I was going to do a series of drawings based on some of the series that I think are worth watching.
I started off with a two piece set of the main characters from Breaking Bad and now, finally, a year later I did a follow up. This time I chose Mad Men as a series. The series is about a man who works at an add agency and his personal life that's falling apart. It moves slow but the story, feel and acting of the complete cast make this one of the best, and maybe even just the best, series on television.

The drawing is based on a picture of Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm) and even though he doesn't look like him, I think it does capture the gesture and feeling of the character.

Some more sketches

2011-07-23T13:54:00.000+02:00

Here are some sketches I did.
The First one is an ink/watercolour sketch I did, the other two are blue pencil sketches.
The woman was inspired by a Mucha - bieres de la meuse poster hanging in a friends room. I tried to capture the pose/gesture of the woman in the poster.

Okay, I haven't uploaded stuff in a while, so here are some more sketches I did recently.

Screenshots Gradfilm

2011-05-03T12:00:00.000+02:00

Here are 2 screenshots for my graduation film, I will upload some sort of teaser soon (well the film is about 1.40min long so it will be very short but still)

30-40 sec sketches

2011-05-03T11:43:00.000+02:00

Here are some 30-40 second sketches I did.
What I did was, while watching a film I paused the screen did a quick sketch and continued watching. The first two sketches are from the X-Men: First Class trailer, the others are from the first half hour of MI2.

It's been a while since I updated. Mostly as I have been busy working on my graduation film. Anyway, here's a link to a webcomic I've been working on. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Underground-a-webcomic-by-Denzel-De-Meerleer/146697942051389 Hope you guys enjoy it.

Here is my first Bumper. It's an assignment I have as part of my Bachelor test.

Breaking Bad

2010-09-18T12:33:00.001+02:00

The end of the summer holiday is nearing. So time for an update.

For those who don't know me, here is a little fact about me: I'm a sucker for good tv-series.

So to up my digital referential drawing, I decided to a series of sketches on characters from some of the best tv-series of the moment.

I've chosen to start with the series I'm watching at the moment: Breaking Bad. For those of you who don't know it (it hasn't even been released in Belgium so I had to import it), the series tells the story of a chemistry teacher who finds out he has cancer. In order to provide for his family, he starts cooking meth with an old student of his.

Here are the two main characters from Breaking Bad.

Character colored

2010-06-30T13:36:00.003+02:00

Here's a colored version of a sketch I did (previous post). I think I don't finish sketches as often as I should, so expect some more of these in the future.

2010-04-20T23:39:00.001+02:00

Okay so here are some sketches I've done for a comic I'm hoping to do, once I get the story straight.

James Jean

2010-04-14T11:48:00.000+02:00

Okay, usually I just post a link to an artists site/blog just in the list but for James Jean I'm making an exeption. He is an amazing artist, who does some really beautifull and, well, weird stuff. So here's a link to his site http://www.jamesjean.com and a link to an animated prada ad for which he did the design http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcHJamFZcGc

Fun stuff

Animatic - Two Boys and a Rabbit

2010-04-04T15:39:00.000+02:00

Here is an animatic we had to make as part of a productionprocess.

We had to do a complete productionprocess (except the finalisation of the film). So first there was the story, than characters and so on.

Lipsync 2 - God's Will

2010-04-04T15:16:00.000+02:00

2nd lipsync we had to do. Here both the text and character were of our own choosing. The character wasn't always the easiest to animate but I learened a lot because of it, mainly that, in the future, I'm gonna use more flexible charachters for my animations. The text comes from the film 'A Serious Man' (directed by the Coen Brothers).

Fake Cover - The Girl and the Sea

2010-03-18T00:51:00.001+01:00

I did this as an assignment for school. The point was to make a good combination of drawing and text.

Lipsync

Water Lady/Spirit

2010-03-07T23:54:00.001+01:00

So, I just finished drawing this.

When I started drawing this I just planned to doodle a bit.

I have just seen Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (it's awesome) and I feel like I'm insanely inspired because of that film.

I really think it works as a composition, and when I look at it I feel like it's both beautifull and hounting at the same time.

Hope you like it

First Inspirationals I did for a schoolproject. Pretty much wanted to show the way I imagined Time Square for the story

2009-10-25T17:14:00.000+01:00

Sketch version for a background I gotta do for school. Pretty dramatic, I like it.

Here's some stuff I made in town, from pics and in the zoo.

Zombie Killer

2009-09-08T15:06:00.000+02:00

Just realised I scanned this one a while back to post it and than just forgot I had it on my computer.

This drawing is the result of watching Drag Me To Hell, than (right after) reading Garth Ennis's Hitman and finally watching Evil Dead in the evening. In other words an overdose to horror-slightly matcho-pulp. Must admit that drawing the heads was a lot of fun though towards the end it becomes difficult not to copy one you already got somewhere.

Swordsman

2009-09-08T15:00:00.000+02:00

Well, guess it's been a while, which means there'll be some more posts the coming days.

So this is a swordsman, yup I'm being cap. obvious here. Anyway started this one yesterday in a realistic stile and all that and when I started working on it today, it didn't feel right.

So this is a more cartoony version. I like it even though some stuff (the hands for example) could be better. Anyways. Gotta go.

Van Gogh / Pop Art/ Just little me

2009-05-09T10:16:00.001+02:00

This is something I did for school.

We got a text written by Van Gogh. In the text he wrote about the seasons and gave two colors to them.

We were, as you can see in the result, pretty free to interpret and use the colors as we liked.

So I added a bit of Pop Art and a bit of me (the way the faces are drawn).

Material is acrylics.

illustrations part 2

2009-05-07T22:38:00.000+02:00

2nd part of the illustrations.

Nothing more to add. Exept that these are actually older than the first post and I just started using color on some of my drawings (these drawings are the learning curve)

Denzel out.

illustrations part 1

2009-05-07T22:31:00.001+02:00

These are some drawings I did for a text I'm doing for 'theater' (I use this term by lack of another one, in Dutch it's called voordracht). Normally there's an order in the drawings but since these are only moments from the text and are simply used as illustrations (and thus do not tell the story) I didn't really bother to check the order while uploading. Anyway hope you like it.

Denzel out.

just the begining of a character animation I'm working on aside from my school projects.

Art of Kung Fu Panda + Links

2009-03-14T11:32:00.000+01:00

Found this one on http://characterdesign.blogspot.com/ thought it was pretty nice. There's also one on "the Art of Bolt" but can't get it uploaded. It's pretty nice though, check it out.

And here's the latest trailer for Pixar's new film "UP". Had my doubts about this one but now my faith is restored. And seriously the talking dog is brilliant. http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/up/

2009-03-01T19:54:00.000+01:00

These are some sketches I did for a school project (a game) that some of us are working on together with 'Groep T'.

Riddick

2009-02-22T19:53:00.001+01:00

Here 's something I made today.

Took me about 3 - 4 hours but the result's pretty good I think.

Made it cause I have just read an article about Assault on Dark Athena (Riddick Game) and it looks pretty awsome.

BTW for those who haven't seen both Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick defenitly a lot of fun and both pretty different in feel!...

New Witch (Photoshop)

2009-02-21T17:28:00.000+01:00

I see it's almost been a month since I posted something so here's something new.

It's a new version of the witch, with cat and background this time.

Oh yeah, just noticed I always start my text with "So..." euhm wel. Just gonna try to change the start of comments a bit more often cause it looks kind of weird.

Nothing much to say apart from that, so that's all for now.

The Rain - Part of a Page

2009-01-24T17:31:00.000+01:00

So this is a part of a page. Again with text.

I personally think this one worked out pretty wel.

The Rain - Splash Page Sketch

2009-01-24T16:51:00.000+01:00

So here's a sketch for a splash page in the short comic.

I added the tekst, brilliantly written by the writer of this short and my good friend Erik Petermans, in photoshop. Just to see what it gives.

There are some faults in the sketch but as i said this is a, really quick, sketch which I mainly made just to see if it works.

The Rain - Main Character

2009-01-24T16:47:00.000+01:00

So this is a sketch of who I have in mind for the main character of a crime short a friend wrote.
I wanted the character to look like a good guy. Even though he's, ... wel not at all a good guy. I thought it might make the character more interesting cause we already don't have that much time to really create the character in a short.

Character head creation

2008-12-20T20:56:00.000+01:00

Okay so a friend send me a link with a workshop on how to create a character's head and your own stile (pretty important).

So the idea is to just draw forms or structures, without thinking about making a head of it. And then try to make it into a head.

When that's done, you can go back to using constructive drawing. So here's a page with 'head forming' and then two of these heads drawn with constructive techniques.

School Project - Witch

2008-12-20T20:45:00.001+01:00

So, as the title says this is a school project. The idea is to make 2 illustrations for a children story. It's a story about a witch and her cat.

Clearly, this is the witch.

The background I'm still working on and the cat... Well, still gotta start with that one actually.

Photoshop lion

2008-11-15T15:27:00.000+01:00

So some photoshop-drawing from reality and than trying to make a more cartoon version. Not that it's the best thing I've done but it's the first cartoon-like animal I've done so hooray for me starting something new.
I put the pic of the lion on the site just as referance.

Photoshop tryout colour

2008-11-15T15:21:00.000+01:00

So first of all. From now on everthing is going to be in English. Since it's pretty much a well known language around the world and stuff.

So these are some tryouts i've done with photoshop. Just trying to get acquinted with the program.

Verteller/een god????

2008-06-21T19:43:00.001+02:00

Oke dus. Hier is nog een tekening in verband met het goden verhaal -keb echt wel een titel nodig, afin-. Wie het personage juist is weet ik nog niet. 'k weet zelfs niet of ik het personage wel ga gebruiken.

Toch maar gepost.

kid

2008-06-21T19:31:00.000+02:00

oke dus, nog een idee schets (terug in verband met het goden verhaal). Wie het personage juist is weet ik nog niet juist. Voorlopig is het gewoon "The Kid". Ik wou the kid een aziatische look geven en vind daarom dat de bovenste versie beter past.

Afin eerst zien dat de aziatische look wel in het geheel past.

Concept tekening zeus

2008-06-21T19:15:00.000+02:00

Hey menskes keb dus nen blog gestart en mn eerste afbeelding is dus een tekening voor zeus (maar dan in het modern) voor een kortstrip die ik deze zomer zou willen maken. Aan het verhaal ben ik nog aan het sleutelen (zeg maar brainstormen) maar kwou toch al wat tekeninge maken.

Ook over de stijl heb ik nog niets bepaald maar zeus met een pak vond ik sowieso leuk om te doen.
