Randle's Sketchlings

**randle** · February 17th, 2007, 10:39 PM

I work mostly out of a 8x11 sketchpad with a mechanical pencil; although I have fond memories of #2 Ticonderoga pencils; mechanical pencils are much more convenient for an artist on the run in today's fast-paced 21st century world.

I prefer the term "Drawer" to "Artist" as I never quite learned how to work the color wheel, and I believe the term has a certain 'mystic' quality to it if you think in terms of 'drawing' something from the nether-realms of the dream-creatures.

Anyhow, comments and criticisms are always welcome, enjoy.

these are pretty badass. ecspecially the third down. On the second one down the feet and the hand on the right are awesome, but I think the head couldve used more imagination.

awsome stuff, i love the linework. w the exception of the 2nd piece i think your shading gets lost in the mid tones. it would be nice to see you push the shadows a bit more. anway u have some great talent, good understanding of the basics. it would be awsome to see soem of your work from life as well as any work u have pushed past this stage. again, great work... will return=D
