[PHATandy]

I saw that picture of your sketchbook - and saw the little side flap thats out the back on the side. At first i thought it would just for folding it shut sort of thing ... but then i figured.. its fucking hand rest! so you dont smudge the pencils!! what a fucking brilliant idea.

Admittedly i might be completely wrong - but still, what an awesome idea!!.

Great work though man, love the hatching, i work similarly on my life drawings and I love it.

dude that watercolour stuff looks very very promising .
hope you dont' fark it up! hahaha I am such an ass
nice sketchbook btw, I have one similar to that..
heh, talk to ya tomorrow mate!

[hyde41]

Hey man,

These are quite amazing. I'm wondering how you work your watercolors because they look fairly saturated. Are you just applying the colors with more pigment over water ratio? Or are you layering in one color over the other in a glazing fashion?
A quick WIP would be very very very nice.

Thanks for posting these, quite inspirational for "crappy sketches."

Jason Snair - hey thanks matey, i think its happens by accident half the time

oalexis - thanks chief

bhanu - hey thanks bhanu, i primise one of these days il do that walkthrough for ya

PHATandy - hey thanks man actually i think that is what it is for but my pencil use is to heavy so it still smudges so i dont use it

bumskee - haha yeah your an ass min better watch out punk

hyde41 - haha hey thanks mate, yeah il keep a wip in mind for the next painting, im not sure i can explain ho wi go about these its kind of a mix of painting like watercolor and using oil painting techniques and a heap of other junk very spur of the moment stuff

[stone.]

hey, i love the way how you shade with a pencil... i just cant do that... i tried to do it abit like your style... but it just gets so smudged and ends ub blurry, gray and all the contrast is gone...

would be cool to see a step by step, if its possible.

regards stone.

[lloorrdd]

[koppa]

stone. - haha thanks man, it will help if you have a can of fixative or even hairspray to keep your page smudging while you work, just give it a spray every so often

yeah il figure something out for a step by step

wtf?! awesome awesome. I've never used watercolors before, but I want to now. And of course the sketches are on fire! They look like they were done so quickly, I bet your hand does go up in flames with the speed. you're a danger to society.

cant wait for some more dude.
