nice new sketches!!! looks like you got better in drawing faces

[jeremygordon89]

Wow, you have some really sweet ideas, and you illustrate them very well. You're definitely improving for sure

[snootchy]

GoGoJojo: keke shanks!

Granny: haha shanks, well here's a really na much post coming up hehe!

Jizu: thanks, yea think simplifying the sketch or forms is working out for me a bit better!

jeremygordon: thanks always good to hear that!

just a few roughs in between work today, lately been really diggin using a brush squeezed in settings to creat a flat brush and tilting it at an angle and having the tilt sensitivity and opacity and size set to pressure sensitivity

[SMILEFACE]

haha wicked brother an keep in touch man especially lemme know if or when you go to cali

[Nele Klumpe]

Hey there! The b/w picture looks pretty awesome. Love the structures you used. The composition looks pretty interesting. maybe it's because you can't really tell what's happening, but it looks kin of exciting nontheless...
Hope you get what I mean: Great work!

[Eddieee]

Dude textures and brushstrokes are looking kickass. I like this one:

Granny: thnx, and definitely will let u know, if i get canned from my job or i decide to quit by august then imma definitely gonna go to school

AvisNocturna: heya Nele, long time! Thanks, yea actually one of the few sketches i've done recently that I was happy with, it's abstract, i'm not even sure what's going on hehe

Eddieee: thanks dood!

some random rough sketches

[SMILEFACE]

haha i luvs em all an yer not only gett'n madd skill full but freak'n light'n fast boggles ma mind hhaha keep up the WICKED WERKS BROTHER

[snootchy]

Granny: haha shanks dood!

last doodles for the night, started to use a bit of a different technique, read in one of m@'s tuts a while back where he was using the pattern stamp brush to add color variation, but i decided to just make random marks in perspective with textures in black and white, then captured pattern and used it as a starting point to spark ideas. if i can materialize this way of sketching will post a small walkthrough.

[GoGoJojo]

OOh, sometime I got to show you some neat pictures of some freight ships from when I sailed down the Columbia River this summer, they're good up-close refs. Have you ever been on the water when one of those huge ships go by?

[SMILEFACE]

damit how many times i gotta tell you to quit make'n wicked doodles haha drives me noodles we gett'n old school now haha

[snootchy]

GoGoJojo: nah never seen a freight ship in real life or ships in general for that matter, i know i got to get out more rather than seeing it in drawings or pictures. oh that would be awesome if you could share some of those freight ships always down for reference pics! Shankies!

Granny: i'll chill out as soon as u simmer down wif the level ups hehe, thanks!

not much pretty cracked out from work today, first one is the killer mushy and second is a bit of rough to kind of show the process or at least 20 minutes into it. i'm addicted to that pattern brush tool haha!

[JailHouseRock2]

Lovvvvvvvvvvvvve all the art on this page man!! Your textures are amazing!!

Thanks a bunch for the eviro help and advice as well mike, really appreciated!
Cheers,
matt

[Turbosnail]

Awesome SB snootchy. Love how you use textures within your work. Keep up the excellent work my friend!!

[B-Man]

Damn snootch! *Ding* level up! You got some awesome texurework in here now. Sry for not coming here more often.
so-- time for the spanking. Spend some more time on faces, face proportions and hands. I see that you neglect them and dont give em enough thought.

[SMILEFACE]

haha wicked mushroom you RRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

[lennon]

The ship looks fantastic

[BlackDelphin]

I go missing for a while, and when i come back, here you are with all these wonderful, wonderful stylized characters!
I really am glad i am back, and i can see all this wonderful art once more.

Take care

[NicG]

Hey! Awesome sketchbook! Should have checked it out sooner! No crits. You're way ahead of me.

[sourgasm]

nice updates lately, man. you're improving like mad. keep at it !

[snootchy]

JailHouseRock2: thanks dood, hope the uni transition went smoovely!

Turbosnail: thanks will keep working to improve!

B-Man: sup dood thanks, and congrats on the awesome job you did on chow! As for the crit big thanks and I know I should put more thought into anatomy, but I think for what i was shooting for was more of a feel for things rather than getting caught up in something tight, that's what life drawing is for hehe which is a whole other beast!

Granny: shanks dooooooood!!

lennon: thanks but now that i look at that ship it's like so warped haha!

BlackDelphin: heya miss delph, and big thanks! I'm glad you pointed out the stylized part, it was what i've been lately focusing on just to change it up!

NicG: no worries and big thanks! didn't know we were in a race even though it can feel like that sometimes, like one big rat race, hehe!

sourgasm: thanks, just bored of my job and stressed, feel much more motivated to get better, weird thing eh, gotta do something u hate to get motivated to do what you want, life's funny that way!!

um some roughs again, sorry i don't really finish anything but I treat this SB like i would sketchbook in real life, just a diary of ideas

the first is a big time fail, was trying to get like a frazetta feel and after finishing the sketch and then googling some frazetta pieces i was like big WTF, hehe!

second is one i might try to keep pushing, had final fantasy in mind since ff13 is just around the corner, woohoo can't wait!

[SMILEFACE]

Haha yer freak'n me out brother mang haha i dun even know what to say haha no joke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackDelphin]

Well you always were good in stylizing your work, making the most out of your shapes.

About your newest update, well the first would be great if you'd work some more on it So far the head is looking really great there!
The second one looks promising too. The colours give a nice mood so far, but i'd love to see this detailed more.

Keep rockin'

[NicG]

Haha, no race-just wish I had something constuctive to say. Like the new updates!

[Emil_J.]

Nice texture work in your paintings you have been doing lately.
Yea and i definitely think you should keep pushing the last piece, looking forward to seeing it finished

[Jonas_J]

Hey snootchy, like the textures of your updates lately. Also that you've been putting out good quality stuff on a regular basis is great. Keep it up

[snootchy]

Granny: haha me too, so cracked out from work, thanks dood!

BlackDelphin: shanks! not too crazy on detailing things but definitely will try to push the details!

NicG: haha thanks, and i do feel at times it is a big rat race, too bad i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but i'll keep gnawing at the bark wif my dull blade =)

Fumble: Thanks fumble, will do!

Braintree: thanks dood, gotta get back to practicing tonal work so this student can overtake the sensei, muhahaha!

no one should have to work on a saturday or 12hrs for that matter, my eyeballs bout to pop out, k enough complainin here some moar roughs

thanks again all for the kind words, u guys freaking roxurs!

uh the last one is super wonky but chipping away at it slowly, another final fantasy wannabe sketch, y won't that damn game get released, arrrgh!!

[Eddieee]

Hey snootchy! Sweet characters. Keep fleshing em out!

[Jizu]

strange new stuff :F ... but they look nice at all ^^

[BlackDelphin]

I see you pushed those colours a bit too in your first drawing, really nice
Work more on your values, highlights n such
