t-bro: thanks, i have a rough idea...
j-bro: thank you
c-bro: fuck youuuu! a-tatatatatatata! and thankyou

took it easy this week, mostly worked on studies, watched and read about movies and thought deep thoughts.

wont scan all the hands i drew this week, was a bit lazy with them

a quick study of a sculpture by yuzo fujikawa and my larger study project execution of lady jane grey paul delaroche

[JamesSimons]

I like what I see

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Nice update!

[teapo]

hmm.. what is this the simon brothers are up to now?? star trek themed comments xD. anyway, those are some really nice line works in your hand studies-- question, what scale are you working at on the master study? looking great buddy :3

[adamsimons]

3k by 4k roughly, this is the source.

[Jeremy Swan]

master study looks good, can't wait to see the final 'lady jane grey paul delaroche'

[adamsimons]

j-bro: thanks
c-bro: thanks
t-bro: 3k by 4k roughly, this is the source. chris cut and pasted it together from screencaps
js-bro: thanks and welcome back.

Hey Adam know what day it is tomorrow?

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Nice job
Cold be gone!

[{CKL}]

I love all the studies goin' on! Might want to re-evaluate you value scale just a little bit. I think your not hitting the darks hard enough. GJ!

[Jeremy Swan]

colors on the MASTER! O.M.G!

[teapo]

3k by 4k? damn that huge. well the colors seem to be spot-on so far-- keep working it dude

[adamsimons]

j-bro: garbage day?
c-bro: OK!
ck-bro: thanks, greying things out is a bad habit of mine.
js-bro: thank you.
t-bro: thank you too.

haven't been drawing from ref much in the past couple of weeks, so improving on that is the goal for next week.

progress is really slow on this study. still drawing, i think it's going to take a really looonnnng time to finish.


finally spent some time on this. currently building up the drawing and looking forward to doing some painting.


the first of a series of batguys, a lot of mistakes to learn from in this one.

[JamesSimons]

I know you've seen it but anyway here you go!

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Never give up and carry on!

[Jeremy Swan]

never give up ha ha

[teapo]

uuwwaaaahhh~ that ink batman is so sick. i can see you doing a whole series in this style also, invest 23 hours into that master study hehehehe xD

[{CKL}]

NO lie on taking as much time on that master study as possible. Your proportions and structure in the figures is starting to really gel. Watch those values! DO IT!!!

[adamsimons]

j-bro: thank-you!
c-bro: thanks.
js-bro: thanks.
t-bro: thanks, i'm going to to do 5 different batmen.
ck-bro: i haven't fixed the values yet, but i will. i promise

Ok, here is a selection of sketchbook pages, including the master studies in ink i started to do this week.

and a progress update on my painting master study.

[JamesSimons]

Good job Brother!!!

[AustenFM]

stuff is cooking up well since my last visit! Your photo studies are shaping up well, and your facial construction is developing a very nice flow of forms. Your ink studies are looking good too, i recognized otomos inks right away. Keep it up sire~

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Wobble, wobble, wobwobwobble!

Keep at it.

[Jeremy Swan]

dat ink work

[adamsimons]

j-bro: thank you.
au-bro: I shall endeavour to persevere.
c-bro: thank you, i will.
js-bro: thank you.

not a lot to show this week.
i have started painting on my master study.

i am working through rendering in pen and ink by guptil. if i gain nothing else i think it will improve my drawing.

and some sketches.

[JamesSimons]

You are the blade that cuts the pineapple in the night sky!!!

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Keep chopping these pineapples and we'll all sleep a little better at night!

[Jeremy Swan]

keep that render research up! i want to see some bad ass rendering!

[adamsimons]

j-bro, c-bro : i am deeply touch by your sentiments. you both slice pineapples in my heart.
js-bro: yes i will show you. someday, somehow.

didn't hit my goals this week but here's what i have to show

[Just Call Me Bruce!]
