Commando Sketchbook - Doodles, Studies and poop

[CommandoFilis]

Haven't posted in waaay too long... Went through the storm of "poop happens" happens. Anyhow, it's starting to calm down a little so here's to a new sketchbook adventure and hopefully there's no more tension here. Some old and some more recent stuff, most of these are speed paints of roughly 2-4 hours.

































Collage of random pages from my sketchbook

Small sketchbook update + study

Let me drop a couple of references i think you might like:

Dave rapozza - Crimson daggers (especially his TMNT portraits)
Alex Pascenko

I really like your style. Especially the Pencil drawings you uploaded last. About the digital stuff, have you tryed exploring more textures/brushes? I feel some of them are a little too smooth, but maybe that's because they're speed paintings..

Cool stuff, be sure to check the 2 dudes I sent you !

your pencils are hot man!!! good stuff!

[CommandoFilis]

@Dave'swarmInside: Bro, they're like my idols lol (not IDOLS, but I look up to them along side many others haha). Yeah I see what you man, I've tried playing/adding chalk brushes (or other textured brushes i cant read from other artist). But I tend to fail a lot with incorporating it properly. The smooth look (or "clean" look) is something I really wanna change. Will play up the advice more! Thanks!

@Kevin_: Thanks!

Quick stuff for fun

Poop Sketchbook pages for the moment

Couple of sketchbookness and some experimental thing I wanted to try out.... diiiidn't work out as I hoped.. oh well more playing around to do.

[CommandoFilis]

Aaaah finished some work... heres some doodles for fun

[CommandoFilis]

My brain decided that sleeping is stupid and waking up at 6am is unnecessary, making me wish I can kick it. Quick poop before I force myself to bed.

Poop self portrait, study + quick character poop

[CommandoFilis]

Some doodles I did to unwind from the stress :C







A work in progress of a piece im making for a friend, crits are very welcomed!

[lionheartGFX]

You having 2 sketchbooks really confused me for a bit x). Good update, still loving your sketches. great paintings too. I'm planning on going to attend life drawing weekly from now on, one small session had a bigger impact on my drawing than I would have thought.

[CommandoFilis]

Thanks!

@Tofa: Yeah, I was afraid that if i reposted again it would do that delay thing like last time i revived it late... but i guess it didn't :C... oh well. Totally do the live model weekly (if you can) + drawing everything you see from life everyday is important imo. Then apply what you learned from the sessions into your drawings (like repeating a certain pose for a character).

Sketchpoop + continued wip for friend + character poops

CRITS ARE WELCOME

[CommandoFilis]

Finished up some layouts, some doodads

[KONM]

Ahhh, the pencil sketches are awesome. You have some good, dynamic poses.

I really like the astronaut and zombies on this page. By any chance, are the zombies inspired by the Walking Dead? I've been digging the comics, the show, and even the game lately.

[Kungfoowiz]

Lovve your sketches, really good work man =)

[ozark]

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're far from poop. I'm poop compared to you.

[Niam]

I love those sketchbook pages!!

[CommandoFilis]

@KONM: Nah, it's just random doodles to get my mind off of stuff. But I've seen the show, but haven't read the comics. I like the show so far tho

@Kungfoowiz: Thanks!

@Ozark: It's hard not to be hard to myself :C... But the word poop amuses me in general.

@Niam: Thanks!

Small oopdates. These 2 are inside jokes (I know), but I wanna share them anyways.





1-2 hour studies, last 2 are for something i'm working on atm :B

[johnny24]

you pencil work is so... amazing!! i will follow your work

[CommandoFilis]

Thanks Johnny24!

Small Update, set of a character. Trying to stick to more contemporary fashion for this one
CRITS ARE WELCOMED!

[Tofa]

awesome work! sorry to say I don't have any crits for the last one, looks like good concept art

[ja1307]

really strong work, ace pencils and paintings and good ideas.

[Zikes]

Nice sketchbook! Loving the pencilsketches! Keep it up!

[CommandoFilis]

Thanks guys!

Can't post my digital stuff atm :C, more stress relieving doodads from my book

[Andrew Sonea]

Cool to see another Canadian on here, and a young one as well (judging by your self portrait). Some really nice stuff you've got here! Loving your studies and pencils. I think you could benefit from putting in a few more hours into things to polish them a bit more and bring them to the next level as it currently feels like you are abandoning some pieces a bit too early.

Anyways keep it up!

[CommandoFilis]

@Andrew Sonea: I'm not exactly young, I'm a 21 year old who looks 12 :C... Will keep the advice in mind, I tend to get either impatient or at a loss to how to continue properly (thus leaving things as is). Going to work on that as much as I can! Thanks!

Studeez + Doodle + applied study onto doodle, might finish it up later tomorrow

[CommandoFilis]

continued!

Super small update for now with a study :B
