[Flaskpost]

Beautiful work in here, kid! And thank you for the input in my sketchbook, appreciate it!

[mundanity]

looking through this sketchbook is really inspiring. you've improved so much since you started it, and keep taking leaps and bounds. i also really love your internal studies of buses and cars and make me wish I didn't get really motion sick when I try to draw or read in vehicles. thank you for posting your work to share with us all. definitely makes me want to work harder and keep at it.

ART:
K so I feel i'm finally starting to pick up my level of work from the slump I was in and the only difference to my life seems to be a healthier sleep cycle, trying to get to bed before it goes past midnight seems to have helped and i'm more eager to experiment and do work so hopefully next post will have some real cool stuff.
In the meantime I've got some stuuuff:

- pencil funnn

- screenshot studies and bust study

- figure studiesss

- characters for anthony jones contest

- face from imagination

- env from imagination

Need to work on consistency and interesting content, to the grindstoneee

ART:
It seems every time I post I think i've come to some new revelation in what everything all means and what I should be doing aha. So lately i've been struggling with my brush strokes and generally the surface the way I seemed to paint created, so I have a bunch of studies and stuff here just trying to figure it out. I seem to spent a lot of time trying to figure everything out in my head about where I want to go and whats wrong but I should probably just paint more and it would sort itself out, trying to get back into a habit of doing more little paintings and sketches, i've kind of gotten into this bad thing where when I start something in ps i feel it has to be god damn sweet best thing finished illustration ever. Feeling positive though moving forward


- Sci-fi city paintingz

STUDIES:
- Jaime Jones little section of painting hes so good
- chicks chicks chicks

[LastGen]

Great work, Sean. Your environments are so fucking sweet, that lighting you manage to create is awesome. Also the Anthony Jones-style work is very solid. Can't wait to see more characters of yours.

Instead of thinking about painting, sit down and do it. You'll get in the mood and find your flow.

[thek]

This is a bloody amazing sketchbook thread Sean, the work is just stunning. Beautifully drawn and the lighting is so spot on! I couldn't resist going back to the beginning and observing your progress from 2011, great work man.

[Othrandir]

Beautiful work, Sean! Wonderful sketchbook
Great improvement. All in all - Badass stuff man! Keep it coming

[Gyvulius]

Loving your studies. It reminds me to keep working on my own. Thanks man!

[kevin_]

[xinranliu]

Looking good, keep up the great work!

[gerezon]

Crazy improvement. Keep at it man.

[TFsean]

Thank you all for the kind words really appreciate it!

Been doing more studies and environment stuff, practicing faces too. Anyway here is stuffz.

- Study of a friend on beach
- Pencil face studies
- Environment experiments
- Finished environment painting

I have more studies and paintings that I feel aren't really worth posting anymoar but I might from time to time. I have also started using my blog more going to try and keep that updated, I might post different stuff on there if you're interested - http://seansevestre.blogspot.com/

Thanks again for all the kind words people have given over the past year
