Totally agree with you!!!
Haven't seen your works in a while, my bad... you're works look great as always, keep it up!

Alex.

[Black Spot]

Wish you'd post the building the right way round so I don't get a crick in my neck looking at them as they're wonderfully mixed up.

[FraserMcT]

prsnsweeney - Thanks. I love using the white, however I feel like i'm cheating sometimes...
thesimplylife - No problem. Thanks!!
Fallenangel - Thanks bro, will do.
Black Spot - Haha. I love doing the face mixing, but buildings are a good way to mix up the mixing. Say whut.

Here's some crap.

[Henrique Ventura]

Thank you for the comment on my sketchbook, such a honor to have you there.
I really liked your drawings, the faces you draw look amazing, with all that shading on pencils, just beautiful.

You said i need to practise faces, and your sketchbook will be a huge lesson

C-ya!

[FraserMcT]

Thanks Henrique Ventura. Really nice of you. Cheers!

Here is a digital painting I have done in spare minutes over the past week. I should really scan stuff in....

[prsnsweeney]

really nice texture you got in that digital painting nice job

[Crane]

I'm really digging the last piece man makes me wanna go draw portraits!
The colour in the eye is really effective for me personally.

[FraserMcT]

Crane - Thats awesome. I had a look at your work, and it is fantastic. Totally brilliant idea, I must freak some people out by having these all over my flat.

prsnsweeny- Thanks! I think the texture was just luck tbh. But oh well haha.

[Crane]

Hey man, thanks for the post. New stuff looking cool, especially like the tricked out face XD

Btw if you are serious about the jar thing, I'd be more than happy to give you links to stuff I use and advice if you need it

[Fallenangel]

Those pencils are looking cool as always, though i think that you need to put some more effort in pure face studies, it will definitely help to improve your imaginary stuff too.

Keep working and posting, you're doing great.

[Ariel9]

Uhhh, love that tree.
Eheee, "he's got a gun" - you made me giggle.
I love your figure drawings, I would like to see you apply that knowledge to your imagination stuff like the bison doodle.

[Black Spot]

Love the life drawing, but the girl on the couch - I thought she had a snail's head at first glance.

[FraserMcT]

I feel bad about not doing more art. I want to buckle down, but it is going to be a hectic month with work. Why not start now?

Black spot - Thanks, haha I see it too! I'm swinging by your thread in a second. Hope you are doing well.
Ariel - Cheers! I need to do more drawing in general. I'll check out to see if you have been more productive!
FallenAngel - Thanks a lot!
crane - Thank you very much

[Black Spot]

I like the pencil work on that SP.

[Marian Rowling]

Hey Fraser I wonder where did you go, I miss seeing your art. Hope you are ok and perhaps just dead busy with load of works.

[lionheartGFX]

holy bejeezus what a fine line you got sir! from the faces to the figures its pure eye-candy please keep them coming! also i happened to notice you dont use construction lines you have some awesome precision ;D

[AngeUnge]

very much enjoying your live model sketches : > your grasp of space is really quite good. those sketches with the glasses from an angle, and any of your model sketches with perspective are quite a treat to behold. c:

[FraserMcT]

BlackSpot - Thanks! It's one of those drawings that I don't like. But hey ho...
Marian Rowling - Unfortunately not. I have spent a lot of time getting a social life - but I think I prefer art!
lionheartGFX - I put the few good drawings down to luck. I definitely need to break away from figures and faces. My landscapes SUCK. People say you should practice what you suck at worst - so brace yourself for some sucky drawing and painting haha.
AngeUnge - Cheers. I hate everything I do from imagination because I can never get perspective right - or even close to right. Thanks for popping in.

As mentioned above, it has been quite a lazy period art wise. I see what people mean that you need to sacrifice a lot to be good in this profession. I think it is time to make a large sacrifice and kick myself in the ass.
Hopefully the first post of many to come in the near future.Thanks for stopping by!

[FraserMcT]

And a quick landscape.

[FraserMcT]

Most are from reference. Was going to take part in CHOW, but realised that I SUCK at legs/arms/all of the body.
That is something to start practising on. I can draw a nice ribcage though.... hahaha.

[Marian Rowling]

ha, ha Fraser.....social life... I remember I think I had one once....hehehe. Yours doesn't seem to have done your art any harm I think these updates look great and I really like emu like creature with a human head and your quick landscape. Is the landscape digital from reference?

[lionheartGFX]

holy fuck man keep making those fine fine pencil lines! by the way BRING it with the sucky landscapes in fact i DARE you to post only landscapes for a month hahahaha, its really tough for me to leave my comfort zone (the figure) easily too, its just so scary and cold and i cant see there and i have so many questions hahaha but its just going at it without a second thought, good luck man and keep on posting i love your sketchbook

[Fallenangel]

Nice sketches/studies!

Great to see you back, and posting regularly!

Cheers,
Fallen.
