Awesome stuff man, your anatomy is really awesome, rembering surface muscles seems like a really valuable study. Good job.

I think i learned something looking through your stuff. Keep it up.

Your anatomical observation is inspiring man.

**Pesmerga** · February 27th, 2006, 11:22 AM

What a dump!

This is what sketchbooks are all about

It was cool looking back at your sketches dude.

**rodrigo!** · March 1st, 2006, 06:33 AM

cheers for the kind words! im beginning to realise that art is my life at the moment...there are so many more pages of drawings...i cant post them all obviously...but every breath and every day of my life has been filled with drawing and art in general...its awesome! ahhh. just some silly, girly reflections

hurricane: not as sexy as your dreads. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
ah yeah, thanks

inkfish- richer's book as reference. most of it in that last post was observational studies. i find its better to see examples in life or drawing from memory and seeing how u can apply the knowledge.,...its tough...

ANDY- thanks a lot buddy! im so glad u said that. youre stuff is coming allong really well, youre dedicated fer ur age man! cheers!

summer pudding thanks man! i love your enviro sketches, especially the street corner one!!

ahh adam..cheers man, im glad ur gonna come to ashtons more.

**Form** · March 1st, 2006, 07:33 AM

your improving too quickly. Time to lose a finger, im afraid.

**T-Raktor** · March 1st, 2006, 08:13 AM

Dude, your works are constantly improving, and that's very nice. Keep it up!!

**Pierre** · March 1st, 2006, 08:23 AM

hey rodrigo, i dig the one drawing of the girl sitting in the armchair. very loose! nice progression that you have here in your sketchbook!

**johnny78** · March 1st, 2006, 10:01 AM

I´ve just seen 2 pages but:
- very good pencil technique
- and really beautfifull gestures.
Makes me want to attend a figure drawings class

Just wondering because of your name: Tienes padres que hablan espanol?

**pogy366** · March 1st, 2006, 10:12 AM

... dude, you even make the "boring studies" interesting. Your life drawing kick ass, but for my money, i like the results of your imagination at work. i really like the girl in the armchair.

**mitch** · March 1st, 2006, 11:38 AM

great sketches man. your life studies are realy good. you have really good form and your shading is really good(it reaminds me of one of my teachers)

**vigostar** · March 1st, 2006, 11:45 AM

**Manuel Baum** · March 1st, 2006, 01:54 PM

wow your progress and the level youz made it up to are tooootally sick... keep it up!

**Chandan** · March 1st, 2006, 05:29 PM

So much inspiration packed into this thread! Please, please, please never ever stop the way you're working! I might not be as old as you, but my goal is to be as good so inspire me some more!

**Inkfish** · March 2nd, 2006, 03:19 PM

oh man, ArtistArticle14142.jpg and ArtistArticle14143.jpg are really hot.! The one minor point i'd like to mention is that the small places in the girls face in ArtistArticle14143.jpg that you didn't tone seem to break the form a bit... (atleast my drawing teacher busts my balls about this

) The smoke effect you created looks cool.

on a side note i can relate what you said about life being all about art, exept for me it's more like all about sleeping and going to work/school

I still manage to cram some drawing here and there every day, but i'd love to be in a situation where i could draw as much as i'd like to. Not to sound bitter or anything

**staylor** · March 5th, 2006, 01:33 PM

Damn you're fast!
I really like the crazy imaginative pictures.

It would be cool to see some finished stuff of yours, but I'm only saying that because I want to see them

**asoir** · March 5th, 2006, 01:51 PM

it hurts that this thread isn't 5*, cmon, this stuff is fucking awesome!

**Orozc0** · March 5th, 2006, 06:56 PM

awesome update. love the life drawing and the girl with the smoke was very nicely executed.

**Form** · March 5th, 2006, 11:27 PM

they love you man
they really really love you

**tensai** · March 6th, 2006, 03:17 AM

jesus shit - respect for the anatomy and figure stuff but when you go all out wild (http://www.renderosity.com/photos/Ar...ticle14144.jpg) is when you really got me dripping.

good stuff man.

**fooxoo** · March 6th, 2006, 03:39 AM

Hmm, those latest ones are really nice, I love the studies, also I really like how you shade? Care to tell me how you do it? I cant get the 'thing' in that kinda shading ....

http://www.renderosity.com/photos/Ar...ticle14142.jpg - in this one - the girl in the middle - great pose!

**T-Raktor** · March 6th, 2006, 04:07 AM

Hey, i want to see more, where are the updates?

**fionkell** · March 6th, 2006, 04:37 AM

Fark! Great life studies, looks like you're steamin away there

**Erilaz** · March 6th, 2006, 06:01 AM

Holy crap, I can't believe I've never run into this thread before. I'll never make THAT mistake again!

Fantastic studies. A real inspiration.

**rodrigo!** · March 7th, 2006, 07:42 AM

woswers! you guys are crazeee

thanks hurri- your improvement is body scary.

form- ill draw with my toes you sly bastard!

T-Raktor- thanks glad to hear!

Pierre- thanks for checking out the progression man!

johnny78- si, pero no puedo hablar contigo porque solo hablar ingles en mi casa. lol! thats the best i can do, i know i suck, i really do! blargh! all those years of english have wittled my spanish down to just being able to understand it spoken to me.

pogy366-lol its all a lie, theyre boring as! haha

vigostar-thanks buddy ill try!

mitch- thanks man, but im sure your teacher would be able to teach me a LOT

maxetormer haha thanks man...no time=500 million years.

embee-yeah im on level 5 now, need more EXP damit! must aquire some new spells and skills...bowhunting skills....u know this one gang wanted me to join because im good with a bowstaff. i hope u get that haha!!!!

Chandan- thanks man as long as i have the net and a working scanner i probably wont stop

Inkfish- cheers man thanks for all the support.

Orozc0-thanks a lot man!!

tensai thanks man i hope you cleaned yourself up, wahetever you do when you drip it sounds pretty messy lol. im just gald u cud find something amongst it all u liked

fooxoo-
yeah but im not much help, just repeating what all the masters say...heres a great tutorial by the amazing Ron Lemen..

http://www.anticz.com/drawing1.htm

for hatching just shade around the form, for example youd shade in curved lines around a cylinder...learn the planes of the face too...ummmm just do it lightly, and slooowly, take your time.....always keep in mind the basics mentioned in the tutorial, always...thats about all since im no master and its something i cant really describe.

T-Raktor- i got yer updates right HERE. lol

thanks iolarnula

haha well Erilaz, its kinda impossible to make the same mistake since youve already found my thread, thanks alot man!

so anyways. tried to get some stuff done and so on, ive been trying to do a lot of finished stuff, but failing, i did manage to finish one though. apart from that ive just been thinking a lot about what i want to do this year.

A more finished piece than usual, testing out some things i want to implement into some artworks later on, once i have a stronger conceptual frame of mind, and ive developed wat i want to show...

done all outta my head, some on the train which was heaps annoying

stuff at work from life..

these are some smokers and characters from work...i just jot down a few features while im at work and then i go back home and draw them and kind of try to recreate them...bleh

just some gestures from imagination

life gestures really quick.

oh and also a PHOTO woooo at an exhibition i was in last month. it finishes sometime this month,

**T-Raktor** · March 7th, 2006, 07:49 AM

What can i say, i asked updates and here they are. Thanks! ( i like the semi-naked chick in the first photo from the updates).

Cheers!

**Recursive_End** · March 7th, 2006, 07:51 AM

Magnifique sb man!
Love those gestures you did. Anyhow, how much time does it takes you to fill a page like the first ones in the last update ?
Very good work anyway
