[roger]

[nacho]

thanks for the comments!

here's another quick sketch of some old bum i want to put in a finished picture.

[dakoscwash]

Wow, something about the batman sketch is amazing, it's so simple, yet conveys so much. I love it, saved.

[Robolus]

Wow Nacho, I´m really glad you made it!
Really great sketches and style!
The lightsituation of the last pic is awesome.

POST MORE!!!

[flex mathews]

awesome work, i love your looseness. keep posting.

[mentler]

Really nice drama in the lighting and tasteful use of highlights!

[nacho]

i don't draw as much as i wanted to..
here's one i did today. not much to show lately.

[JadeDragon]

Nacho,

Excellent sketchbook, man. I really dig your style, especially the painted stuff. That speared hound killed me. I would love to see more stuff along those lines, although your portraits are just as fun to drool over.

Keep posting more stuff, amigo!

CIao!~~~JadeDragon

[nacho]

thanks for the comments!
especially thanks to rob; meeting you at the workshop really inspired me and influenced my drawing..

for a weekly activity for a german forum. some kind of jedi.
kinda in the same style as the spear-perforated hound beast..

[flex mathews]

very nice work... we should oc sometime.

[Bojee]

Me likes very much.

[I.was.ink]

Great job on that BATMAN!

[nacho]

long time no update... so here's a selfportrait i did last night after coming home from suxx0r hardcore work.

[rodrigo!]

wow man awesome work, ( i say that way too often on these boards) but anyway, i love the looseness of your lines like mentler said they have a mood of their own i hope you can keep sharing

[Bojee]

I hope you post more often, this is really nice work.

[Yoell]

would love to see the trooper in the desert fleshed out more.

look forward to more.

daymn, i feel like i forgot everything about drawing and painting..so right now i'm kinda.. relearning it, getting back into a daily routine.

here's a pirate gurrl wip (which is really crappy right now, so i'd appreciate any suggestions on how to continue):


and a warmup quicky that was much more fun than the pirate chick.

[auden100]

This stuff is sweet, man. Get your ass rolling a start updating it more often. That would make me smile. You want me to smile, don't you?

[Sanby]

Sweet stuff. That SP is great. Keep posting, I love your sketches.

your work is fantastic mate!!

i want to see more - lots more, and something finished too.

There is definate sponteneity in your strokes and i want to see if and how that translates into your polished stuff. What has been your learning process? Did you attend any sort of art school? Your work is very fresh and unique, i wouldnt be surprised if you were a very dedicated self taught student, but i could be wrong.

Care to share?
