[daveneale]

tensai: hehe thanks for the boners

KROGER: as I said over in your SB, you kick ass man, which makes your input all the sweeter

JonathanS: Thanks man.....I totally thought you'd dropped off the face of the planet.....I don't seem to have been getting notifications from the mentor thread cause I just searched it out and it seems you posted in there about a month back...will get over there in a lil while and crit you up

Dan:Cheers man-looking forward to some more sketch with ya some time soon, the recent ones have all been on days where im busy.


Wow, I've been lazy at updating here....life in the big smoke has gotten in the way just a little-I'll hopefulyl get back into the habit of producing random doodles a little more.....some recent sketching from the last SB I finished and a quick doodle I did out of time for the stylised challenge:

[Khongco123]

Hello Daveneale ,i'm a newbie here .i very like your sketbook, and your creature , i want to ask you , can i use one of it to making to 3d creature ? thanks any way .

[Frogisis]

Ooo, how swanky. You've got a top-notch grasp of line and shape and make it look so easy! It seems like you've got the visual imagination to just avoid all the "sketch and re-sketch" we mortals have to do and just put the lines down right where you want them. Really, wow.

This might seem a little incendiary to some, but I mean it as a compliment: These have real "hipster tshirt" potential. Wouldn't you get so many compliments wearing something with these pictures on it out to a bar or rock show?

[daveneale]

Khongco123:as I said in my PM...allll good, looking forward to seeing what you come up with, and which one you go with

Frogisis:Thankyou....I like my hipster tee's. And as for my lines....often they seem to just go down wherever my hand heads off to, sometimes I don't think my brain is involved at all but thanks....it's not quite as easy when I'm out of my comfort zone though

Ok 1st off, just more doodle, and then, some colour doodle (I'm liking my new brown sketchy book)

[kidult]

Cool style and awesome linework - the blue and white ones in the sketchbook are sick.

[daveneale]

kidult-cheers man, more blue for ya...

has been a while since I updated, a combination of work being mental, and me generally having fun and games here in the capital have meant that fun sketchy time has been restricted to the work side of things-but here's a few random doodles I've squeezed in. Many thanks to Kim for his help on the floaty creature pic.

Nice one Dave.

sketch soon? I know you dont leave your flat without the pad.

[daveneale]

Yeah man, we need to sort something out soon!

COW for this week and a saturday morning doodle....just something I accidentally drew for work and decided to play with, I really need to make time for fun doodles more often, work doodles have been monopolizing my time of late.

[Cok3]

love your sketchbook dave, thx for dropping by mine. really like ur cartoony stuff, , you have strong design sense

[MeTaL-Mike]

nice sb man. love your style!!

[daveneale]

Cok3: Thanks man

MeTaL-Mike: Cheers, and thanks for dropping by

Ok, so 1st off I did this for the 2D artist challenge last month, but work got in the way and didn't get it done in time for submissions so finished it off afterwards, was fun though:





Some sketches:









Work Doodle-just playing with some ideas:



My lovely girlfriend bought me a black sketchbook-it's really interesting to draw this way round, and so much fun:



We went to the Notting Hill carnival yesturday so biro tattoo was called for:



I've been developing a little story about some greedy kids who like icecream, some character ideas:







This was my Chow for this week....I've been playing a bit more with rendered stuff when I can recently as I mostly do inked/flat colour stuff for work doodles:

[chuck18mp]

Your screaming kids are hilarious!!!
continue posting some beautiful works like you always do!!!

[Misplacedhippos]

Love your style and your creature designs!

[Peter Berkovski]

hi mate, love your ideas for those kids who like ice cream, post more please

[daveneale]

chuck18mp: Thanks dude...I'll try

()nion: Thanks!

Peter Berkovski: I've been busy and haven't had much time for those kids, really need to get back on it


Some older cow's I didn't stick in here before and some recent stuff.....Including a watercolour :|!! (ever so slightly digitized)

[EKOes]

i ever seen this fantastic sketchbook before, i loved your style and your use of form in the character design!!

[forgeman]

I'm a fan! Your stuff is really fun to look at. Your style is unique. It's cool to see the design process through your pencil work. As for your paintings great use of color. Stuff like this that keeps me motivated to get better.

[krossj]

great pages man! really cool

cheers

[daveneale]

EKOes: Thanks...I'm trying to develop it more

forgeman: Cheers dude...glad to be a little bit of a motivator...it's all about practice

krossj: Thanks dude appreciate it



Some Personal stuff, some sketches I did at the body works exhibition and a life drawing:

[ReviseTheMethod]

Daaamn, I am completely enthralled by your pencil-sketches! =)
Fantastic! Keep it up

[Reject-D]

awesome stuff dude!!! love your interesting character ideas!

[domo arigato]

dude! so cool man. Love, love, love your stuff. Love this SITE! Hot diggity. Keep it up brohim!

[Dazzamataz]

Hey dude your stuff is really cool, great line,great colour,great characters and lots of movement to boot. 'Awesome' keep it coming

[Atastrophea]

Hey there Mr Neale

those creatures on brown paper are looking uber cool, especially the top one - gives me that nice tingly ~oooooh~ feeling you get when looking at a piece of artists work which inspires you

I think you need to petition for someone to come on here and crit you though, all this awe and admiration is all lovely but not really going to push you to improve even more is it! lol, surely someone out there is man enough to offer some cc? :p

~^-^~

[krossj]

cool sketches man. the no fishing image looks great! would be cool to see more like that.

cheers

[meganite]

I checked out your sketchbook to see your COW WIP pics, but there's so much amazing work here apart from that! Your pen sketches are definitely cleaner than mine... I think I go crazy on too much mark-making ^^;

I love your stylized creatures/characters! And you have a great sense of color, even from the beginning =P so no complaining about not having a clue about color theory, because you've got it!

[Sellis]

Yooohooooo,

haven't been on in an age so now i've made a conscious effort to start up again on CA. Hope things are goin well down in london, works looking awesome. Keep it up mate.

Stu.

[TiWi]

Nice stuff you got here! Really a cool world! Specially like the kids with ice cream!

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Very neat stuff here, kinda Bobby Chiu style, and that is a huge compliment!
