not safe for work #99577

[snootchy]

very nice updates, i especially like the thumbnails because you are limiting yourself to specific area to work in rather than places random sketches anywhere on the page (nice switching it up)

also liked the rendered robo head dude

Nice update bra! That thumbnail at the top right would look awesome as a full fledged drawing/painting! I also like the semi-rendered figures below and to the right of the thumbnails!

Rock on brotha man!

[shou']

Keep it up with the studies! Don't forget about including the variation in your lineweights.

I look forward to when you return to the still life fruit studies.

[bleupencil]

Heyyyy! Looks like I'm not the only one who's been out of it for a while. C'mon Gren, come back!!

[vanbythevaseline]

I was reading some of your thumbnails and I saw something in you that reminded me of...well, me when I was in Illustration. Don't give up, you are better today than you were yesterday. Always remember that. Just keep practicing.

[Minne Danhieux]

very nice sketchbook! il ike your creativity and your pencil work... the colors are also starting to look very good. fantastic.

[grenappels]

gah i do not seem able to figure out how to have a life and practice real hard at the same time...... but... i'll be back to updating soon!!! i promise and then i'll reply to all you helpful people. you dont know how helpful you are. i'm such a downer until i read your words of encouragement. thank you all especially van i read that post when i was in a really bad self-defeating mood and it warmed me up a lot.

[Eon]

Cool you're back! Can't wait to see for you to start posting your artworks again!

[grenappels]

really sorry everyone i feel so bad for not posting for so long. ill reply to what i haven't even though its from like 4 months ago..

eon- yes i'm back! and i havent found time to get to a scanner but i'm gonna start up the wacom again and i;ll be posting digis at least. and im glad to hear you find my sketches amusing... sometimes i feel like a weirdo with his own inside jokes cause i mostly draw that shit to make myself laugh and only a couple other people irl see it

snootchy- i'm kindof pissed at myself for leavin you off like i did... im gonna get back into your sb man i promise. and thanks for supporting mine

peetaer- i've only really gotten around to your sb but man your figures are getting to be fucking solid. im really lookin forward to seeing how far it goes, and i will try to keep up !!!

shou- thanks man, i will do more still life fruits... probably soon cause i dont really feel like painting with real paints but i miss painting random things from being in classes

van- thanks again... that post made me feel very good. kicked a lot of negative thoughts out of my head. i really needed to hear it

jocky- i try to be creative but usually i feel like im just bein a weirdo haha thanks

anyway i dont have anything new, i havent got around to a scanner and the wacoms been collecting dust. i haven't been totally idle, i've done some projects for people that i actually spent 10+ hours on and finished... which is something i hadn't done since highschool and i'm graduating college in a year. also it was good to experience making something for someone... bein responsible and all... which im very bad at, i'm realizing. i do have a wip i just started tonight and plan on finishing, and i thought i'd post it so i'm "forced" to finish it.

also if anyone sees this right away and can tell me whether the perspective on the dog is off... it seems off to me but every time i "fix" it it ends up just how it is... i forgot these things about drawing that make it so fun/frustrating
/edit i guess hes kindof big looking.. not in a normal way.. or maybe its that i havent fixed the leash yet

[Easily]

Hey there. Love the new post.
I don`t see anything with the dog, but hey, that could be just me.

[grenappels]

thank you easily, i shrunk the dog a little bit but im starting to think it might have been in my head.... anyway little update

[kingkostas]

i like the natural feeling of the scene mate,but i think its a little empty
Keep up

[grenappels]

lol thanks and the scene is empty cause its for a logo... i think i got carried away though, a logo doesnt need to be polished... and i cant really draw anymore im too tired

[snootchy]

sup grenappels, hey no worries mate, it's all good, just glad to see you back in action and that's freaking awesome that you're finishing up school soon! Cool logo, what's the logo gonna be used for? I think the dog sits in the environment well and looks like a great start for a logo, not really sure what it's for but looking forward to the finish!

[grenappels]

thanks snootchy, its for a record company hes starting or soemthing, vague details haha, here it is more or less done... im not sure where to go from here. i think i;ll post it in the wip section and see if anyone sees an issue im not aware of. no ref by the way, one of the first things i actually finished sans ref!! its so free feeling its like not wearing clothes

[DavePalumbo]

cool SB, I can't believe that you have Zardoz fan art! I remember seeing that picture of Sean Connery with the red harnesses at the video store and just not believing my eyes at how ridiculous it looked.

[RickyRubyo]

i like your scratchy stylee. nice dog~!

[Eon]

It was nice seeing your process in that last pic! You tend to end up building realistic figures in anatomy and proportions. Very cool!

[p sage]

Man, some of the stuff in here is hilarious

Your creativity is fantastic and it seems like your sense of humor makes you draw some absurd and therefore unique subjects.

I'm gonna start watching this thread. Cool stuff.

[Peetaer]

Awesome logo dood. Real memorable, which is what the client wants!

Are you gonna add colors? If you are then just keep them solid. What I mean by that is keep the t-shirt one color, the pants one color, the shoes one color...etc...

For some reason I keep seeing a desaturated red (for t-shirt) and a desaturated jean blue (for pants). Just a suggestion.

[grenappels]

dave palumbo- cant believe you stopped by here! youre great dude... im lookin up to you

ricky rubio- thanks dude

eon- yeah it takes me a long while to get it right lookin... haha thanks

p sage- lol i draw too much silly shit i think. its very hard for me to follow through on anything serious. at least i can make people laugh thanks

peetaer- nope no colors... i might fix the foot closest to the viewer, i think it has problems, but aside from that.. thats that! and bro put a link to ur sb in your sig otherwise im keepin you in mine, i wanna be able to click once to check how your shits comin along

anyway many ideas from being stoned... and then a very sober photo study... which im embarassed to say took me like 5 hours but hey im happy with it... learned some neat tricks

[grenappels]

start of a painting, some heads and some posemaniacs

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Hihihi your stoned stuff is kinda funny^^ Nice photo study as well, good work on that one I gotta say work more on colours and shiat, but that is universal if you are not like Nox or coro or someone

-E

[Demon Lizardman]

The city picture looks pretty nice, and your sketches are pretty decent too. I like it!

[grenappels]

mischievous--more colors, check... im certainly not nox or coro lol. thanks man

demon lizardman- thanks for the encouragement

anyway more doodles.. wacom is unfair in how much easier it is than pen... just ctrl z when you dont like the first mark... bad habbits i can feel them already!!

[a la bapsi]

love the way you handle line.
keep it up

[grenappels]

thanks bapsi thats what im focussing on most! anyway been lookin at too much daumier... you come up with your own caption...

[grenappels]

more silly poop

[Peetaer]

Cool new doodles bra, you got some wacky ideas up in yo skull. You should definitely flesh some of these out. I especially like the "perv" robot ideas. Rock those out.

That building photo study looks stellar!

[grenappels]

thanks peetaer! ha yea i want to flesh shit out but they all such silly ideas i feel ridiculous putting a lot of time into them
