Hi,

Here are some pages out of a recent sketchbook. These are out of a Moleskine. Each spread is about 10.5 inches wide by 8.25 inches high. These are mostly watercolors and various markers.

Let me know what you think.

cool batman's.

[thegnarofspaz]

hey man, love your sketches..but i was wondering what kind of sketchbook you did these on. I've been wanting to try some watercolor and other paints in mine but the pages wrinkle, but it doesn't seem like you have that problem in yours.

[RandAlThor]

saw this earlier, thought id come back and leave a comment. i like your use of color in your mole skin, watercolor right? don't you find the pages 'buckle' a little tho? you should try dipping a bit of natural sponge in the paint and then in your book, it gives a nice texture that i think you could 'enhance' with a little pen work to really make these forms pop. keep it up dude ;-)

[Rabid]

Love this one!

What are you using for color man? I'm starting to incorperate ink washes and thought maybe you could give me some pointers. PM or post in sketchbook!

[LECO]

Loving them water colors. Keep rocking! ;-)

[Joey-b]

I totaly get that but I guess I don't see it as a problem. It's neat when a sketch book starts to puff up and not close all the way.
The Moleskine stuff is on pretty heavy stock so it dosen't really wrinkel it does kind of warp though. The Batman stuff was drawn in a regular old black sketch book (maybe a canston). Those pages totaly wrinkle. I just squish it flat on the scanner and it doesn't really show.

RandAlThor:

I hadn't ever tried the natural sponge thing. I'm a big fan of scott morse (http://scottmorse.blogspot.com/) so you'd tyhink I would have tried that by now. Thanks.

Thanks! I copied that from a photo I found in a book about of taxadermied people. I use a set like this: http://www.winsornewton.com/products...&ProductID=643 They are pretty cheap and super portable.

[smrtbob]

freaking awesome, everything's badass, I think every one's my favorite

[PerinGalitte]

I love the way you color your drawings. Not to mention the style. You've gotta love that style.

[El Jeremie]

Super stuff dude.
Love your oldschool batman.

[Liam Harvey]

very nice! my moleskin sketchbook is filled with terrible skeches and squiggles, these are just fantastic

[super skoda]

Thanks everybody!

Here's some Darkseids from an older sketchbook and some stuff from my current book.

[super skoda]

These are from my Saturday morning life drawing thing that I go to pretty often. Under drawing is conte crayon and the color is watercolor. The first one was five mins, the second was 10 and the other two were 20 mins.

[Flaskpost]

OH! Great mowlskinns! I love the inks. I´ll check back for sure!

[Clochette]

Wonderful watercolors! Your sketchbook is so nice!

[super skoda]

Here's one of Frank King. I've never really read Gasoline Alley but I saw this photo and thought it was cool so I drew it. Then I tried drawing my dog but he wouldn't sit still.

[Clochette]

Nice dog studies! Hmm I have to draw mine too! But they always move! Your line are so clear, I'm impressed!
Keep coming, you're a great inspiration for me!

[super skoda]

Here are some from a little tiny moleskine. Each spread is only 7.25 x 5.5. These are mostly watercolor and brush pen.

[Smarty]

HA i love it! so colorful! reminds me a little of Nic Kleins sketchbook stuff

I have a moleskine too, but my markers seem to go straight through 2-3 pages, bummer

[TimGillette]

Great Stuff.

[super skoda]

Thanks! Nic Klein is awesome. I actually did the second one from the top after reading his tutorial. I use the Moleskine with the thick paper (around 100 lb.) but markers still soak through. The one that says "NORTATEM" actually says "Metatron" but soaked through to this side.

TimGillette
Thanks!

[Clochette]

Haha I love that retro looking tiger!

[LEvans]

Good God.

Nothing beats flipping through a sublime molskine like this one.
Every page is fantastic and breathtaking. Very skillful use of watercolor in gesture sketches.

great use of color and the moleskine =)

five stars from me sir, glad you are here and updating!
