[Yor]

nice updates, as usual!

[Aquascale]

I love the vehicles, just fantastic work overall.

You can make some pretty wicked 3D scenes as well.

Keep it up, can't wait to see more.

[easydrawing1]

Me I liked the ideas on the architectural compositions and the see through swimming pool you got an eye for reality bro, kudos for the volume of work as well as the show quality, I suppose you gonna keep em coming

[Temjin]

Velocity Kendall, you're way too kind and thanks for the link to that story. Used to stay up and listen to art bell radio show, so this the type of story I can get into... Keep up with the awesome works!

[Naidy]

Hello again.
Love how you're pushing yourself creatively. I don't think you're afraid to push your boundaries and that's a great sign. Keep at it!

[monotony]

awesome sketchbook, man.
I remember seeing your finished thread and the 3d work is off the hook!
but your drawings are soo good, too. love the ideas!

[Velocity Kendall]

someone asked me for a big massive version of the silver parrots (les perroquets d'argents innit), you can find it 4000pix wide here::

the paintings on the walls are my crap copy of The Murder by Cezaanne
and the amazing "Uprising of Sausages and Hot Dogs" by Sergey Tyukanov

heres a quick thing while 3ds was rendering, from a chap called Vouet, which a CAer put me onto
i messed up her hands
and a da vinci sketch against the clock

[PLeon]

your figure drawings are pretty great and wild. I'm personally terrified of animating and modeling in 3D, But your stuff...Jesus H Christ. Incredible sir.

[skMOP]

Your 3D stuff is so crazy, I thought it was you taking a photo at a museum or something the first time I looked at it.
Interesting stuff with the pens.

[MartinC]

Interesting 2d and 3d staff. Like the cars a lot!!!
In some interior pictures the GI creates some wired shadow artifacts on the ceilings. Maybe increasing some settings, could help.

[Mazui]

Cool designs and environments!

The character drawings are more uneven. Perhaps it would be easier if you treated the human body as another machine or industrial design object.

[Velocity Kendall]

thanks dudes, ive PMd etc!

Mazui, fascinating idea, i will think about that
skMOP, im just a novice, but believe me im going to keep on hammering it, its just so damn fun!
PLeon; me too dude, no idea how to model beyond the basic bevel etc. give 3d a go though, the power... THE POWER!!!!

more junk while watching telly

[kiwigarbage]

Some very nice faces going on! And you have an eye for scenes

Watch those limbs though, might be a good idea to do some isolated studies of arms and legs and hands. Good luck!

[Dope Fiend]

i agree with kiwi, and damn dude, you're def steppin up those sketches, they have more soul, more thought-provoking content, and are just generally more evolved.

The 3D is mind-blowing as usual, not much crit from me, just keep working the rendering on the pencil, maybe a few value studies in that area??

keep it up my friend!

[Velocity Kendall]

i love yous guys. all my sketch hands have something of the Jeremy Beadle about them (Jeremy Beadle us a british entertainer from the 80s and 90s with a famously withered little hand)
so im firing up google and gonna do some serious study. and im going to go to town for some proper pencils, my cheapo tesco HBs are decent tools but you tear the page before they give you a proper black
thank you both; Dope, meet me in two minutes in your sketchbook!

[Dope Fiend]

thanks! and i'm lookin' forward to see where this train of motivation takes you.

i'll be checkin back soon, keep us updated!

have fun

[JakehC]

i really like your line work. seems very confident.

remember to draw-through in order to get your forms to read in the appropriate directions. i struggle with that to.

[J-P]

Some pretty groovy stuff in here, the 3d made me a bit sick in my face (in a good way). You don't see enough abstract 3d nowadays.
Thx 4 commenting btw, i must admit daved & confused is a song by tipper so credit goes to them for the idea :/
Crack on.

[Jaunay]

Hey man replying here cause love for teh sketchbook. /sketchbookreply/"The face is referenced, for sure i couldn't do that on my own not yet anyways. The feel, mood and outfit for the guy were from memory. Probably should have made that clear. Lol That song is pretty sweet, i love jazz even though im a metal head."

Also i think i just found one of your weak spots, which there aren't many. Watch out your hands that you're drawing are looking like plasticine sausages!

As for your 3d work you can tell me eff off cause its great and doesnt need crits/

Also also also you should tell me what your fav band is atm, for the music loves.

[Velocity Kendall]

LBBQ, J-P thank you both! confident I aint, its just from copying the best!
Tipper you say? Tipper Critical Path Tipper?
Jaunsters
Im one big weak spot, although 50 odd days into mission learn to draw and my hand does feel like its loosening up. my drawn hands on the other, erm, in contrast, are terrible. heres some training to rectumfy this situation... see below. still not right but better

REF: for some reason i read this as labradors hands... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...rers_hands.jpg

I love your guy, hes full of life. however you achieve it its working.
music... i dont talk favourites, ive a new favourite every day, but my joint second fave bands are Joy Division, and Autechre. Superlatives run out.. I guess the rule is, 10% of any genre will rock, and 90% will suck... Sturgeons Law? Killgore Trouts Theorum? something like that. whats moving you at the moment?
Enjoy:

[Forrest_I]

You've got some great stuff in here Velocity, those parrots look fantastic too. What were they made in?

[raminafshari]

your last update is nice , i think you could try it with chalk also .

[towy]

really nice sketchbook always
why you don't use white paper without line ? maybe a bit more easy for draw; i don't know : )
cool 3d work always
keep up ; see you next

[DaevidK]

hey, thanks for stopping by at my SP...you've got some pretty good designs here, keep drawing

[Velocity Kendall]

thanks guys!
towy, hehe i know, terrible paper! im cheap so ive been fillig up a hotel register book i got from Poundland.. when its full im going to get some nicer kit!!
ramin thankyou man! i got soe chalk today so ill try it out
Forrest thankyou! Im not sure how those parrots came to be, i got them off a royalty free model site. probably 3ds polygon modelling? Maybe Alias? I really dont know im afraid.

[ForScience]

I am really enjoying you graphical composition sense. Are you a graphic designer by training? Please keep posting. This thread is incredibly inspiring.

[bhanu]

Glad to see those hand studies in here mate, you really are churning out some golden stuff, who care what paper quality it is....
The first hand in the latest update has been done too well

[tronrobot]

yeah the hands are really nice
cheap paper ftw!
