[Ashrumm]

Like many have said i'm digging the portraits as well those figure drawings are pretty slick also very nice sense of rythm. and thanks for posting in my sketchbook!

[Windmaker]

I are inspired once again!
Thank you for that
Really, your linework is the most inspirational thing I've seen since the last most inspirational thing I saw. I'm doing studies of your portraits and figure drawings now.
Keep sharing, please

[dakoscwash]

i hope to one day draw with your sensitivity. even your pencil sketches are just beautiful. i'm in awe.

Nice those train sketches look great, lots of character to them.

[bbassir]

Wow! Those portraits on page 27 are phenomenal! Beautiful line work and full of personality! Keep it coming.

[max1975]

Thise portraits are looking very good, showing steady improvement since last time I looked in (which was waaaaaaay to long ago, sorry 'bout that ). You have a unique and awesome way of seeing things.

[Osmus]

i'm really liking your portraits! they would be badass with color in em'!

awesome figures too

[|.DaDa.|]

Great work! Love the interior design of the store, since I live in the Netherlands and often go to shop in Amsterdam, I am going to check it out soon, cant wait!

[paperX]

[Brendan N]

Really love all of them, nothing to crit here but I would love to see some colours here again - always enjoy seeing your colours. Hope to see an update here soon - considering your were pushing me for one the other day, I'll have to become a serious annoyance very soon haha.

Hope all's well,
cheers!!

i dig the heads in the last couple of pages. they have that "blind contour" kind of feeling as though you're looking at someone and not lifting your pen off the paper. but they also have some cool graphic elements to them. best of both worlds.

p.s. i've been missing out on my NHK for a while. the last time i turned it on, i was watching sumo, found out Asashouryuu got sent back to Mongolia for mental health reasons, and then Abe-shushou resigned. Looks like there's been some out-of-the-ordinary stuff going on.

[Bojee]

What'cha been up to lately bro? Thanks for the visit and the crit.

[pennington]

hot, man these are groovy. great shapes and beautiful lines. there's tons of emotion in your art, can't get enough.

[tensai]

oh noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
i just wrote everybody and what i did the last couple of weeks and all that crap which took me up to 1,5 hours and now my damn browser crashed when uploading the images to CA. i'm really sorry but i'll just say thanks for all the real cool replies and mad, undeserved respect.

here is some of what i did the last couple of months, while i was in tokyo, amsterdam and seoul:

some train sketches





sp and my woman when we fled from into a restaurant to escape the heat in tokyo
























more coming

[tensai]

...and some more seoul train stuff, stuff from ref, some from life, some portraits of my wife, me, friends from life, airport/airplane stuff, boats, pussy, a still-life and a not so successful watercolour value sketch of a street food stall in seoul:



















my wife, and an sp, i look sick...(?)


a dash of colour for brendan
















hope to post more soon!

comments and crits as always greatly appreciated.

[Windmaker]

Wow!
Great update! I always admire your train sketches. You manage to capture so much personality with so few strokes! I always learn something new when watching your thread

Keep having fun

Edit: I forgot to ask a question. How big are the train sketches usually?
Also, the environment drawings from the last post are... also great!

[bradley]

wow, total work horse! great sketches really fun

[iman121]

I like your style

[Onir]

good lord, your work never ceases to amaze. those portraits are so clean yet so gestural; really wish I knew how to do that! lol seriously your line quality is really impressive, always gets me when I look in your book. have you ever thought of doing some traditional animation? your confident line and your style really seem like they would create a great looking piece. gotta learn to use markers like you do as well.. man so much inspiration great work man!

[Eon]

Yeesh, your lines are quite amazing!

[koppa]

awesome

[Zord]

Wow man... the lines are powerful as usual. The ships and cats stand out to me. The lines are simple but the presence of awesome permeates through each sketch. 8) Cheers man!

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

Gorgeous update.

[bumskee]

wicked...
love the damn simplified stylised awsomely looking line work!

[AlexC]

love this one, your work seems both mechanical and loose, an interesting combination. Love your works

[Sirio_Brozzi]

Those loose pen drawings are awesome, you've really got control of where to put detail. Nice stuff yo.

[bhanu]

Hey there lok, nice update man.
Those greyscale watercolors look delicious . I can learn a lot about about simplifying expressions and faces from you. THanks for the inspiration sir.

[SMILEFACE]

[_andreas_]

your way of drawing never fails to be sugar to my eyes.
