random doodle from tonight.

**NickyBeats** · September 17th, 2009, 09:51 PM

thanks unknownsketcher! i dont know about 5 stars...but i appreciate it!

**NickyBeats** · September 17th, 2009, 10:14 PM

Austen- thank you man, big time for that link!! i dont have very much experience with figure drawing, but i just started my first class for it in school. im pumped, very excited about that. ive always been a self tought artist, and always felt weird drwing people in public places. so my figure drawing is definately more stylised to compensate for that, but hopefully soon ill have some real figure studies to post up on here. thanks again for taking the time to look, and comment!

UnknownSketcher- hehehe. you had me hyped for a second. ps. your sketchbook just rocked my imagination.

**theUNKNOWNsketcher** · September 17th, 2009, 09:45 PM

Bravo! 5 stars! not much of wannabee to me! keep up the great work!

**AustenFM** · September 17th, 2009, 09:52 PM

Hahah, pretty cool shit! love the bisected soldiers head, and that screaming face in your most recent update is awesome. great character in your work.

Have you done any in depth anatomy/figure studies? If not, i suggest you download everything from this link and begin studying. http://processjunkie.blogspot.com/20...ooks-ever.html

Try starting with Loomis' 'Fun with a Pencil' and work your way up to George Bridgmans books.

Nice start to your sketchbook, I smell a ton of potential in here.

I look forward to more from you

**theUNKNOWNsketcher** · September 17th, 2009, 09:56 PM

yeah i know... keep it up ;D

**AustenFM** · September 19th, 2009, 09:45 PM

Updates are looking good, but lets see some more full body shots! Arms and legs are a must.

Keep drawing!

**idnorant** · September 19th, 2009, 09:48 PM

you ve got a very cool style and your lines are great
Keep doing like that

**NickyBeats** · September 20th, 2009, 12:00 AM

Austen- ha, you noticed... i usually dont sketch 'whole' people because im not great at it. ill start trying to though, itll be a good way to force myself to focus on full bodies. (actually since reading your comment, it made me want to make these sillhouettes)

Idnorant- thanks man, i shall do.

trying some sillhouette workouts. i think this is the easiest way to construct the body, seeing it as a sillhouette usually makes mistakes jump out at you.

**NickyBeats** · September 20th, 2009, 12:42 AM

i forgot to add this one to the last post.

-sketches of Roland Deschain from The Dark Tower. i did these in ball point pen, while looking at the comic.

**NickyBeats** · September 21st, 2009, 12:32 AM

anyone remember Mimic from x-men like a long ass time ago?? i think they should bring him back, because there are soooo many new mutants he could look completely different. anyways, i wanted to draw him, he pretty much looks the same except for wolvies claws, and colossus' arms.

**NickyBeats** · September 24th, 2009, 01:25 AM

another random doodle...

ENJOI ! ! !

Nice. Maybe you forgot Beast...? LOL

**Mikhail Faulken** · September 25th, 2009, 10:21 PM

Dude, your art is wicked! I like the energy of it.

However, might I suggest studying a bit on body damage? (The dude who gets the top of his head lopped off should have more of a jagged tear, as Wolverive would have to make an L-shaped swipe and then swipe again to take it off) Unless, of course, that's a different guy, but then his head'd be ribbons!

But I love it, still. It's gritty, unique, edgy... everything I love in comic work. Keep it up!

**NickyBeats** · September 26th, 2009, 01:42 AM

Mikhail Faulken- thanks, im glad you like it! im not 100% sure what you mean about the guys head, why couldnt wolvie just slice through it in one blow?

heres an update on how im painting Epoc-

**mariusz** · September 26th, 2009, 04:12 AM

**NickyBeats** · September 30th, 2009, 02:21 AM

Mariusz- thanks man.

heres some more random doodling, i had a life drawing class earlier today, so i didnt really feel like drawing any more bodies.

**NickyBeats** · September 30th, 2009, 10:08 PM

wolverine sketch. i used prismacolor markers for this one, with some white color pencil for the highlights. i love markers!!!

**NickyBeats** · October 5th, 2009, 01:21 AM

**NickyBeats** · October 8th, 2009, 01:19 AM

value sketch. pic is from the magazine "Show". im gonna paint over the lines, and add color, but im too tired right now.

**DaStreets** · October 12th, 2009, 12:53 AM

Some great work here, i like you short comic ideas, i like the way u portray wolverine. I see you use prisma color markers, they are so f*ck'n expensive, how much did u pay for yours? also, post more, i like you work

**NickyBeats** · October 12th, 2009, 03:59 AM

da streets- i think each one was like 3 something, your right though, they are way too expensive to buy in packs, i just get a few whenever im in an art store. also thanks for the comment, ill have some newer stuff soon.

**LtPlissken** · January 2nd, 2011, 10:03 AM

Finally I got the time to review the older posts in my sketchbook,
and I realized that I have never returned you the favor. But now it
is time.
You said that you are a big fan of anything brutal, so I guess that puts
us together in a very close perspective, and I think that we could get along
real nicely in the future.
Right in the start of your sketchbook, I admire the mini comic book in post #3,
you know the wolverine one.
Went all the pages through, and I have to admit that your work is
familiar to me, most probably I already browsed through it, I just did
not left any comment. Love your comic book style, fascinating, you
have very interesting subjects, and you are definitely not a boring artist.
Your overall improvement is great, your female figure drawings from earlier
are so great, you just pushed your work pace from May last year.
I just so in love with your zombie drawings paintings, especially in the post
#553. You're the man! #574-Robot Judge- Greeeatttt!!! Very inspirational
paintings.
Well, that's it my mind just got blown away from your 25 pages of mayhem,
I have no more power to review any more sketchbooks today.
Nothing to crit, instead I would just like you to visit my sketchbook more
often and to share some knowledge and advices. Thanks in forth.
Cheers!

devastacio - thanks man!! heres the final. gotta move on.

YihyoungLi - thanks man! the painting is mostly a creature design, so the bg is a secondary concern. i wanted the slug dragon to pop out. although now that i see it, i should have used a brighter greenish yellow color on the ground. that wouldve looked better i think.

akkibox - thanks!!

Pervy - thanks man!

alexson - thanks man, hehe yea it was for the last DSG.

LtPlissken - you sir, are the man! and i already returned the visit! but really thanks abunch for that comment! made my day!!

---------------

Slug Dragon - final.. could do more to it, but i gots to keep it mooovin!!!
