thanks a lot comixnut for youtr support too

you guys r awesome

here is an inkwash sketch i did today took a couple hours or so.

**Zebz** · February 9th, 2005, 11:42 PM

This sketchbook blows. Don't listen to these people Rod, you suck donkey balls!

I'm just kiddin' man! I'm lovin' the experimentation with different medias. Keep it up. Still wish we could get you to look at the form different overall though. It still looks so much like solid shapes and not carefully rendered. Hmm.... Like approach the drawing leaving the comicy style behind a bit. I think you're starting to but it's just in yoy so much, y'know? Keep up the great work though. It's coming.... I know it's coming!

**rodrigo!** · February 10th, 2005, 03:36 AM

thanks a lot zebzfree man, ill keep it in mind for next time aye
and whats coming?

spent afternoon mucking around with sketch in photoshop.

**rodrigo!** · February 15th, 2005, 02:37 AM

**hurricane** · February 15th, 2005, 06:30 AM

**Profil** · February 15th, 2005, 10:11 AM

Nice dude

I dont write here often but I watch every update. Nice to see you keep fighting.

**rodrigo!** · February 19th, 2005, 08:24 AM

thanx a lot everyone for the kind words of support!!

just a some SP's and hands

**NightVision** · February 19th, 2005, 10:01 AM

light is great on these ...

and I like how realistic they are ... much better than your usual comicbookstyle faces, that always have some stifness in them ... although they have been improving over the course of this sketchbook too.
Can't wait to see you do more of these and incorporate what you learn, in the comicbook faces !

Laterz !

**maxetormer** · February 23rd, 2005, 12:57 AM

I agree, your are making some serious progress here
really nice, this last SPs look a lot more fluid
and natural that any of your faces so far, keep
pushing it dude, your progression is nice and smuth

**rodrigo!** · February 25th, 2005, 06:59 AM

thanks a lot nightvision im glad to hear that!

hey max thanks a lot for the input dude!!

,....havent drawn in a few days coz of school and having soccer like 5 times a week takes it out of me,

**JadeDragon** · February 28th, 2005, 04:45 AM

Rodrigo!

Those last few posts are awesome. I love what you are doing with your lighting and your rendering.

And those backgrounds....WHOO! Great perspective work there. Great to see you working on all sorts of techniques.

Keep up the kickass work, bud! I'll be back to see what you are up to...~~~JadeDragon

**rodrigo!** · March 5th, 2005, 08:36 AM

thanks a lot man im really happy to hear that!!
i look forward to seeing more of your stuff too!

anyways

another self portrait sketch thing

**mentler** · March 5th, 2005, 09:07 AM

Good looking updates ::: one thing I noticed on the spine study is that it does not seem to have enough curvature :::: unfortunately the ref that we have for the spine for the most part is taken from dead resources and medical studies which never seem to have enough bend in the spine :::: the reason for this is mainly because they don't recreate the weight of the rest of the living body on it. Look at x-rays from living bodies to get a better idea of how much more curved the spine really is.

Also when visualizing the curve visualize the inside without the dorsal spines!

**Craig Houghton** · March 8th, 2005, 05:20 AM

I haven't written in a bit, but I've been meaning to. I've been watching either way.

I'm looking at that last self portrait thing and I'm loving the planes. You have such a healthy way of handling your subjects. I have to work to beat that sort of thing into myself.

Everything is looking great. Oh, and I read that soccer causes brain damage over time through continual bonks on the head. So, no more soccer. ..then again, there's nothing wrong with a little brain damage. It works for me, at least.

More updates, please.

-Craig

**PHATandy** · March 8th, 2005, 12:12 PM

Good work man.. your style and technique is coming along really nicely. You faces are getting much better. The only thing id like to see is maybe some environments and stuff.. your experiments withcolour are pretty good.
The only crit is with the School environment piece is that the perspective pieces are all very straight forward. Maybe try working on some close ups ones and some stuff at deeper angles not everything fading at 1 point in front of you.

Good work though keep it up.

**rodrigo!** · March 13th, 2005, 04:49 AM

thanks mentler i never even knew that you are right of course

thanks a lot craigman good to hear from u again! im glad ure watching its all i ask! oh and who says i dont have to work to beat that thing into myself either hmmm?

thanks phatandy its appreciated id work on environments if i had time, i really liek environments! ill keep your words in mind for the future

i am doing an A2 drawing as part of my major work, the left side is anatomy studies and the right side is self portraits, the sides are separated by a big spine that runs through the middle!

top left quarter

bottom left quarter

**fionkell** · March 20th, 2005, 04:34 AM

I am blown away by what I am seeing here...wow! You're my age too. Now I feel even more inadequate

Hey, are you doing your HSC? (noticed you were from Sydney) What are you doing for your major work?

**rodrigo!** · March 20th, 2005, 05:52 AM
