Super Skoda - Sketchbook

[JesArt]

Great Upload, LOL !!!, but reading that you look up Moebius on youtube makes the sketch so understandable, its so funny, and he looks masculine in a blueberry lord of rings way. Thanks for the comment on my sketchbook , Iam gonna make my lines more bold, since Ive been painting for a while and put down the pencil a lil, Iam going back into drawing with a whole new hand, my strokes in my drawings that I just did yesterday are alot more bold, I will post the drawings once I get to a scanner. Great Upload.

Wednesday's sketchbook spread:

I have been playing with Acrylics lately. For a long time, I couldn't stand to use them because they darken as they dry. It drove me crazy! But I've been finding that if you use them kind of like water colors and work thin, it can be very fun.

Blue guy looks super cool. Really nice.

[IanE]

I went out and bought some watercolors.

I'm holding you personally responsible.

Thank you.

[super skoda]

Bill: Thanks!
IanE: I take full responsibility for all of your actions. As long as those actions do not involve the use of your hands, eyes or brain... or watercolors.

Thursdays sketchbook spread:

I'm still playing around with acrylics. Having a lot of fun.

[Kristo Novo]

i love your ink/marker/watercolor stuff
very inspirational in here :

[wookiedabo]

wow man, those last two pages look fantastic, the colours are stunning. Love the panels on the right side.

[super skoda]

Kristo Novo: Thanks!
wookiedabo: Thanks!

Here's Fridays page:

In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to post one spread from my moleskine per day (not counting weekends). And this concludes my first week! Wow. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I can't wait to see if I can pull it off next week too!

[Kristo Novo]

yea nice friday page
are you using a brush to ink the left guy or is it a brushpencil?
...i´m looking for a nice brushpen but till now i didnt found a cool one with a smooth elastic tip

[super skoda]

Hey Kristo Novo, I'm using a real brush. A nice, well maintained Kolinsky Sable brush is like a dream to work with.

The best brush pen that I've used is the Pentel Brush Pen. It's nice and good for traveling but it's just not as versatile as a real brush. I have also heard good things about the Pentel Pocket Brush but I have not ever used one. Looking at the pictures though, it looks like it's the same tip as the other brushes.

[Victor B]

you're on some posting spree, it doesn't hurt that you're awesome, thanks for sharing!

[skullsquid]

Be my friend haha, your stuff's awesome. Beautiful work on the moleskine, too beautiful.

[Kristo Novo]

thank you mr crook

[super skoda]

Victor B: Thanks! let the posting spree continue!
evildisco: Thanks!
Kristo Novo: No problem!

So here's my Monday post already:

[krossj]

really like the style you have with ink and watercolor! great work man

cheers

[super skoda]

krossj: Thanks!

I almost didn't get a page done today! I'm sneaking it in just under the wire!

[IanE]

Man, you're a machine!!! This last one is especially awesome.

I posted up a ton of stuff from the last couple months, as well as my 2 first watercolors! One thing I can't seem to get right is scanning/photographing them... they look ruined compared to their reality. The colors are hyperactive they seem, not nearly as muted as they truly are when I scan em... any advice?

[super skoda]

IanE: Thanks! I don't know what to say about the scan quality. I get the same problem. although I'm usually glad that the colors are more saturated. I fear that the only solution is to get a better (extremely expensive) scanner. For my bigger water colors, I will usually set them up an my little repro-stand and set my white balance of one of those grey cards and shoot a picture. In general the colors are pretty accurate when I do that. Good luck!

Here's my sketchbook from yesterday:

[DoubleThink]

Ah the colors are so brilliant!

The previous post has a really sweet atmosphere about it.

Good job

Looking at that last page you use:

Pens with a brush tip
Watercolors
Gouache or acrylics or Oils.
Colored pencil

Am I right? :p

[David79]

great sketch book mate ! gona watch u moar offten !

[super skoda]

DoubleThink: Ha! You are almost right. For both pages I used a real brush and India ink. The paint on the right hand page is acrylic. and I used a micron 0.1 to draw the little ghost face.

David79: Thanks!

I just came across this little doodle and thought it was kind of cool looking:

Here's Thursdays page:

[wookiedabo]

[a la bapsi]

[Josef K.]

maaaan i wanna hold your moley in my hands and page through it! aawesome stuff! gonna buy a watercolor-moleskine too! looking forward to your updates!

[super skoda]

Thanks everybody! All your kind words really help out.

My big plan to post every day lasted about a week and a half. *sigh* I just got too much work to be able to pull it off. So anyway, here's a page that I've been working on for a few days:

The blue guy is ballpoint pen, Jefferson is watercolor, I used acrylic paint to color the blue dude and for the clouds and green squares and I used a black marker for the skeleton. Word!

[super skoda]

Hey Thanks for the thanks guys!

I finally went and did some figure drawing. It had been a while.

Dude is holding a sword here. I kind of moved on before I got to it but I always appreciate it when models bring weapons! You should never be the only naked dude in a room without a +8 battle sword to backup you up?!





These are all drawn with a graphite stick to get the basic drawing down. Then it's noodled and adjusted and colored with watercolor.

[Ahim]

Great life drawing

The grip in the last one is very well done.
