sketchbook (update feb 20)

[myalias]

Hi, i have been lurking here for a while now, im very nervous about posting but i really want to be a part of this community.

[Troll Skelking]

a lot of nice sketches. perhaps you should use blank paper?

[xzacto]

agreeing w/ troll. *screaming* USE BLANK PAPER

some places will want to see gesture drawings for part of an interview or portfolio (assuming you are putting one together) and I think they might laugh if they see these, but only because it's on a lined notebook. good practice just the same but it does nothing for your portfolio

[myalias]

Thank you for the comments, I will use blank paper. I just didnt want that notebook to go to waste.

(i just need to post these last two "lined" pages )

[AdamDillabo]

awesome sketches. i need to do some more figure studies.

[Carioca]

Very nice sketches! I'm looking forward for Your updates

[Delmar]

lovely lines and good expressions in your figure studies. Maybe the shading could be tweaked a little more.....

more stuff please

[myalias]

adam: thank you, you cant go wrong with figure studies
Carioca: you and me both
Delmar: i know what you mean in regards to the shadeing, ill try to work on it some more.

xzacto i actually went to my first portfolio interveiw today, i brought that lined note book with me and they didnt even seem to notice, they did laugh though when they saw my biology notes

[myalias]

my computer keeps overheating, i think it might die on me...

that crab guy in the second half of this first page was an idea i had for Character of the Week, but i probably wont finnish it

[myalias]

Wow your stuff is amazing! I really like how you colored the nude woman in the little scan from your sketchbook.

[Zombie_dla]

[Wolfbane]

[sketcheth]

Dude. Friggin' awesome! And you're fifteen you sonova...haha, keep up the great , great work. Love your work. It's great.

[Phil Moss]

Really nice sketchbook!! How much do you work from life, reference and imagination? I think your pages are fantastic. What 'finished' work do you produce?
Will keep an admiring eye on this thread!

[shidoken]

nice work man! very vivid pencil strokes. i like your imagination and your play on all those pages... keep it up!

[_andreas_]

great sketchbook, cool colorstudys
MORE TENTACLES!

[Jasper_]

Hey man, really awesome stuff. I like your anatomy and figure studies alot.
Are you copying those from a book?

I like the fact that you seem to be drawing a lot, I'd love to see more.

[iMaiM]

Awesome studies! Very inventive sketches, and I like where you're going with that last colored piece.

[goodbye]

everyone's so good around here how do you find time to draw that much? what references do you use? whats your secret?!

[mrpank]

Keep it up, you are doing great

[myalias]

Misteh: thank you, glad you like it

Zombie_dla: thanks, i will

WolfBane: im 18, turning 19 on the 14th

sketcheth: heh, im not 15, it should say 18 on my profile, i hope

Phil Moss: i do slightly more work from imagination than from life, but not much more because i try to keep things balanced. as for finished work, i think i've only finnished a handfull of pictures in my entire life. here is one from i think a month ago, its done from ref, and took a very long time

shidoken: thanks!

_andreas_: thanks, maby some more tentacles next time around

Pyroclasm00: some of those studies are from a Burne Hogarth book, the rest are from porn

iMaiM: thanks, im trying to do more colored stuff

suhsealyuh: i try to use as little reference as possible, so none most of the time when i draw from my head. i draw alot because i have no social life

mrpank: thank you!

half way through this sketchbook -->

[davi]

you impress the shit out of me man, your works are truely a dance of line upon a umber field of flower pedals.

[Shinryu]

Some really nice sketches man, especially on the last few pages.

cheers

[voetsek]

wow i really like your work, it makes me want to pick up my sketchbook and try and get better. it's also nice to see someone else from toronto

[SirGreenSock]

Wonderful work mate! Love where youre going with the imagination and pencils!
Im digging the teen challenge piece too, got nice form and colours goin on, though the composition in real flat and uninvolving, the two characters arrent really interacting, hope you finish it up some more. Love the design of the ogre, its real fun and got a great sense with the materials.
I see you in Toronto, are you attending any of the colleges/universities round here, or plan on in the future?

Keep posting, subscribed!

[amer-nazri]
