[Mister Dark]

Glad that I found this sketchbook! Keep it up

[Lotet]

wow, realy love the portrait of that readhead. stunning work, keep it up!

[surus]

Great violin drawing! Keep on posting!

[Texahol]

ahhh man, I really want the opportunity to do figure painting from life! it looks so much fun what size do you paint at??
sweet stuff man!

[dessinateurimpulsif]

There are nice studies in your sketchbook....good works....keep it up

[Chaser226]

Mister Dark: I'm glad you found me too! I love your illustrative style!!
Lotet: thank you! i just knew i had to paint her when we first met =D
surus: thanks, this is my biggest drawing yet!
Texahol: You should definitely try it. Painting from life in general is a must if you ask me. There is just so much to learn in terms of what happens with color in nature. Studying from photos I feel only takes you so far. Most of the ones I posted are studies and they're 12x16 to 16x20.

Thanks Charles!
Another violin =)...Long pose, about 35 hrs. My biggest painting yet, 22"x28". Lots of painting, scraping, and repainting...fun fun. T_T

[Blindrat]

lovely painting, has a nice atmosphere to it that matches the nature of violin. (I do love a well played violin)

Great work, on these paint studies, the hours put in really show

[cgaddict]

Great brushwork as always, and the colors here pop out of my monitor Really dig the saturated red you used, really brings the image to life. Nicely done!

[Icecold]

[Chaser226]

[bharat]

[JakehC]

beautiful drawing love the emphasis on foundations.

[aLDoDarK]

really nice drawing you have here! I like your canvas painting, it's so beautiful!

[kyubisharingan]

i love your sketches. Just curious, how do you begin your sketches? like, is it just gesture drawings then add detail? do you have a process (step by step) of your drawings?

[Chaser226]

bharat:Thank you! Lots more to come in the next 2 months.
lolbbq: Thanks!
aLDoDarK: Thanks for stopping by~
kyubisharingan: I usually use a little light tone to block in the figure to capture the gesture. Since I'm drawing in such a linear fashion in such a short amount of time, its easy to lose track of the figure under the clothes, so this is important. After that, I just go straight into the line drawing keeping in my wrap arounds, perspective, folds, shape design, value designs.

[Chaser226]

More drawingssss

[SixPrism]

Beautiful work man. Really inspiring collection. I'm amazed at how well you capture the figure in just 5 or 10 short minutes O_o

Can't wait to see what comes next

[marc_redd]

damn this stuff is awsome. For real i can look for hours

[The Pariano]

Very nice stuff! Makes me wish I could do some figure painting!
I really like your sequential work; I know some of your stuff might be relatively quick but try to nail a focal point with some nice rendering and fade off a bit from there, when you can of course.

[Chaser226]

SixPrism: Thanks! I still need a lot of practice because these short poses often still feel like a hit or miss for me.

marc_redd: wow, thanks!

The Pariano: thanks for the feedback!

Morrree.

Hi Chaser, don't know what to say except your skills are amazing: I was stopped to every image...the comic page is really cool I like the style you used in it! GREAT!
Cheers

[meticulous]

Great charcoals figure drawings my friend! Are you in a gesture class? (just curious about the models (you can see same models but different poses) Love seeing your progress in these! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the next posts!

[Chaser226]

dleoblack:Thank you dleoblack! I was pretty happy with it when I finished, but now that I look at it again, I'm not that thrilled any more =(.

meticulous:These are from my clothed figure drawing class, so they're 5-20 mins. I did however, attend a quick studies workshop today! So the ones at the bottom are 2-3 mins drawings.

[Danny_K]

awesome work my friend, I love how your figures and characters look, feels very convincing.
Keep up the good work!
