BUILT FOR CRIME - the big dump

[matty_mcmullen]

Skip this page seriously, and maybe the next total shit lol

just finished a year long course in graphic design, where i decided hehe its not really for me totally as i have discovered the world of fine art and drawing and such. so been drawing for a year now leeched alot of skill from the drawing teacher where i went and books and such. so no more lurking this place time to begin a sketchbook... i know i still have alot to learn as i have decided to try make my way into the concept art industry well atleast im hoping and crits or advice will seriously help out... oh i'm aussie from sydney so any fellows please shout out.

most of this stuff is train drawings or me doodling until i just plane get over it some study's and such later.

[matty_mcmullen]

[aussiedeza]

[matty_mcmullen]

some more stuff quiet random stuff really i think i will do some ink stuff tomorrow if i get time. crits wellcome if you see any bad habits developing.

[JCH]

Just wanted to say hello from perth and love the line work in your art. No real crits at the moment just want to see more!

[matty_mcmullen]

well here are some studies for you all just some bugs and an alien hand hehe... and thanx for the responses it is so scary putting things up on here especially sketches. and im glad i haven't been slammed for my lack of totally conceptart related stuff, my excuse alot of this is for work.

[xinleh]

I LOVE the monsters. And the bugs. Did you use any ref for them? (esp the first 2 of the first post) Anyhow, i see a lot of potential in your work so keep it up! Count me subscribed

(i just finished a course in graphic design too, but I like fine arts much, much better.)

[matty_mcmullen]

i LOVE monsters too!! no ref used except for the bug studies although the far right one i made up. thanx for subscribing.

here is some more the portrait is from a photo i tried to make myself do it so i would draw more realistic but i got bored and never completed it, but i have set myself a challenge 50 faces 25 male and 25 female them all realistic from life or reference.

[anjin]

really not bad! I like how you manage pencil. why don't you realize some ambients? rooms, towers, buildings...

[matty_mcmullen]

hey anjin. i think your right it has been so long since i have done any environments or architecture woo! im inspired.

[Lakka]

Like your last batch, I really like them, especially the things you've rendered!

[xinleh]

no real crit so far, but I'd like to see more/variety too =)

but i have set myself a challenge 50 faces 25 male and 25 female them all realistic from life or reference.

do post 'em when you're done. and some coloured ones too!

(btw, I've updated my thread with the graphic design works)

[matty_mcmullen]

well ive been trying to get some drawings done but work keeps interjecting so i will try get some things up. but for now a little quick somethin somethin and a speed painting i did whilst bored.

[matty_mcmullen]

above ,materials pencil, ink and water colour and digital for the speedy.

[xinleh]

Loove the second one. Kinda reminds me of Sam Weber's work. Very illustrative. Any concept behind it?

But I'd like to see some quick anatomical and face sketches to push the illustrations further... =)

[matty_mcmullen]

xinlehwell when i painted this i was having an artistic hissy fit hehe caused by a girl issue... yes girl issue. so i would say thats me in thought, actually surrounded by my thoughts. oh and im trying to do some studies i just dont get much time but i just kinda finished a drawing for my girlfriend so ill post it soon.

[Jamie Romoser]

[matty_mcmullen]

heres a sketch that will end up being finished one day and given to my girlfriend. im just over it right now haha.... and to show what gay stuff i spend most of my time working on for (just various graphics and illustrations).
it frustrates me i draw so much but not what i want to be drawing.

[matty_mcmullen]

this is for work just the top of it, it is actually going to be A4 when i have finished the rest.

[xinleh]

Oooh. Love the colour scheme and the illustrative style. Post the A4 when you're done?

[matty_mcmullen]

xinleh- for sure it should be up tomorrow.

[matty_mcmullen]

heres some more progress on that painting i also have another meeting doodle which did "the meeting was designing a nursing booklet" it should make sense now.

[kelly x]

[matty_mcmullen]

[matty_mcmullen]
