(Far)Quadrant of my Brain

I think i'm in love with your artwork lol. Your drawings remind me abit of Wesley Burts-

http://www.wesleyburt.com/drawingsamples.html

Got any tips on how you got your drawing and painting to such a high level?

Also, you should enter more COW's because the design you did were sweet!

**Farquad** · February 23rd, 2011, 11:54 AM

Odayga: Yessir!

logistic puppet: Wow, thanks for the high praise! And thanks for turning me on
to this Burts fellow. He RULES. I want to say I've seen it before, because there was this
artist I saw a long time ago whose sketches float around my mind every time I put pencil
to paper. They might be the one in the same! So thanks so much for the reference.

As far as tips go.....I'm not sure, lol. I guess recognizing what is important to you and
trying as hard as you can to focus on improving that, and then research/study other artists'
examples of it. For example, I've recently been fascinated by line quality, and I've kept it
at the forefront of my head for all my sketches lately. Like many of my teachers have told
me this year, the best teachers are nature and other artists. Hope this helps! ^^

Ok, I'm gonna make a HUGE dump here.

Friend and his gurly-friend:

And finished panda:

**cgaddict** · February 23rd, 2011, 12:07 PM

Nice updates, the white is really helping give your value studies form. Great work on the Panda as well, very funny concept!

**warburton** · February 26th, 2011, 01:53 PM

Interesting advice man, thanks alot for the words of wizdom ;p

The pencil work and creature designs are prity special dude, i look forward to seeing more of it.

**Odayga** · February 26th, 2011, 04:47 PM

BEAUTIFUL Portraits and creatures! Really like how you did them on toned paper, makes everything stand out way more.. pushes values.. keep it up, your doing great!

**Tadas** · February 28th, 2011, 01:25 PM

I love how 3 dimensional your drawings look. Such a nice sense of depth

Keep posting!

**NickyBeats** · February 28th, 2011, 03:13 PM

**Farquad** · March 3rd, 2011, 03:44 PM

Velocity Kendall: Thanks! Trying the same stuf in a new way, lol.

CgAddict: Thanks for the encouragement. And I'm glad I'm not the only one
amused by my sense of humor, lol.

Logistic Puppet: No prob dude. Props to you if you made any sense of my
ramblings.

Odayga: Thanks, I will!!

Tadas: It's good to hear that, I'm always concerned about achieving depth.

Nickybeats: Haha, thanks for the kinds words. Glad you like it.

OK, just a few doodles.

**Medusoid** · March 3rd, 2011, 04:03 PM

No clue why but that drawing of the CB w/ the pistol is insanely awesome! Love the fingers and everything. Kinda conforms to this sharp angled style I like

Sometimes I can pull it off but it's hard to create a loose sense of movement and life with such sharp corners ya know

**Fniss** · March 3rd, 2011, 04:11 PM

The Panda is so cute! Really nice work!

**Farquad** · March 4th, 2011, 07:30 PM

Medusoid: Glad ya like it.

Fniss: Haha, thanks.

In class stuffs:

P.S. CURSE YOU GREEN IPHONE DISTORTION!!!!!!

**Velocity Kendall** · March 4th, 2011, 07:56 PM

**NickyBeats** · March 4th, 2011, 08:06 PM

**Farquad** · March 5th, 2011, 12:56 AM

Velocity Kendall: Thanks dood! I've been trying to push myself (technically at least,
Lol. Abstraction has still failed to persuade me to its side).

Nickybeats: oh gawd, please no. Then people will visit with...expectations. *shudders*
but seriously, im am very thankful that you think my SB is deserving of such an honor.

Mo' doodles:

**cgaddict** · March 5th, 2011, 01:14 AM

Nice updates, really dig the technique of using white to make your sketches pop, you're quite good at it.

**Sadako-xD** · March 5th, 2011, 04:47 AM
