really, some of the coolest drawings i´ve seen on this site!

[venli]

yey...nice style!

[Raskolnikov]

Another strike and another bullseye! Very expressive, lots of emotions and lots of aesthetic sense. Wonderful again

[krytical_error]

thanks Arne, that's a very nice thing to say considering this site, which is a treasure chest of cool.

thanks to you venli and also Raskolnikov. here is another piece for you to hopefully enjoy.

i suppose i should say how relaxing it is to make these pieces and listen to music. my other artwork is so over rendered that to bleed pixels on the digital canvas is refreshing.

[SwordOfDivineFire]

Brilliant. The little flourishes add so much to your already brilliant compositions. And it's been said before, but this is the best use of Clip-Art I've ever seen. Every piece has a narrative quality that is as unmistakable as it is elusive. They make you want to look for more. I can't wait to see more of these, they are all incredible, from concept, to composition, to execution...

[slooie]

aghhhhhh .. im so jealous of ur skills it mega-hurtz, these are amaaaaaazing

[krytical_error]

here are a few more pieces over the last week. i hope that it is as fun to look at as it is to create. using only black and white is very liberating and so relaxing. i trust that it isn't still boring to see something without color - considering all the great painters on this forum.









thank you swordofdivinefire, i need to get some more clipart images to use so i don't have to keep cycling the olds ones i think. i tried to make some sense in the pieces although they're mostly just moody sketches. if you read the file name titles, it is my attempt at being clever.

thanks slooie, although it was certainly not my intent to hurt anybody! >___<

[Jas0n 0n a Bike]

Wonderful stuff, great poses!

[orbitalharvest]

Very synthetic and that's the magic! I love Your style. ( Finding references must be fun )

[Mr.Blonde]

wow... i really dig these.. great use of bnw... keep posting!!

[harachte]

Brilliant! Love the b&w treatment for these pieces...

[bonedog]

These are really cool... I dig this thread a lot.

If I were to critique anything it would be the compositions. Some are good, but in many of them you've got high-contrast cool things all over the place. As a result there's no cohesiveness... the eye doesn't quite know how to move or where to rest. It's a subtle thing, but I think this would be the direction to go in to take them up another notch, which I hope you do.

[Metajake]

these are tight.

GREAT, HIGH energy going on!

[davi]

love this style man, i can totally picture these on band flyers(that sort of sounds bad, but i mean it in a good way). I think its because some of the posing reminds me of Derek Hess.

keep it up though!

btw, if you want to continue doing these pieces, could I please request you make a sketchbook? I just like to ask this of people since someone who spends a week on each piece of their art should have the same chance to be seen as a person who has the ability to bump their thread to the top of the forum multiple times between each post.

[Evxyza92]

Wow, I just am absolutely amazed on how you took pure black and white with some greay , and made such beautiful pictures. I love how The black and just stands out in white and it displays such a vibrant image, without so many colors!

[marc_taro]

neat stuff - cool effect...

[NateVanDyke]

Diggin the update... if these were ink on paper I'd own one right now.

[deltron05]

Very nice Illutrations .......deep and original !

[Patrick Ballesteros]

Nice ones Drew, love the expressive long lines and gestures of each one. Good seeing you at Comicon. I still need to snag your new books.

Best,
Patrick

[Leon Roé]

Hey dude, I absolutely love these. May I ask how you went about the figures, did you use the pen tool to get the crisp lines and just take your time with that or did you just blast them out by painting? These NEED to be sold in a print set with some nice packaging and presentation. Peace.

[oDaYWaLKeRo]

These are so fun. The graphic style of yours is truly amazing. These B/W silhouttes have some taste

[z!Nk]

+ I'm really charmed with these works in black and white, more pliZ!

[jojai]

wow, great style man, I've often tried and failed to get such nice defined figures using simplistic styles - check me out in the critique center

PS after looking at those pics, I'm glad my girlfriend is coming home soon

[ArtZealot]

very nice stuff!

[ArtisticSchmidt]

Nicely done! I enjoyed these. That's all I wanted to say.

[gustavo desimone]

me gusta mucho tu manejo del blanco y negro

[chuck18mp]

It's so awesome all what we can do with Photoshop!!!
