JPW

Hello, Oblio!

May I suggest JPW's sketchbook for the editorial?

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89440

He has an amazing and fun cartoon style, as well as a nice sense of graphic design. It's a great sketchbook.

edit: Forgot to add that it's definitely not safe for work

and on the same note- Hurricane's Sketchbook got over 5000 replies. Talk about popularity. I barely made 2 pages.

Before going.. i have to tell you this: Shawn Barber's DVD kicks ASS. Expect some traditional stuff from me.

CLICK------------------------> and BUY DAMMIT! It's worthy!

found another great SB

Sanoma - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=98926

If you have good finds - PM me. WE NEED TO KNOW.

[Oblio]

HI all... i'm here for a quick update on a SB.
As always... if you have one you love - drop me a PM. We all want to see nice art. I'll make a night round soon in that area and fish up some SB's myself.
Until then... enjoy.

Francis Vallejo is pretty breakthrough: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...t=98861&page=4
He's got a sort of hip hop, graffitti, caricature, graphic design thing going on, using diverse media.

[Oblio]

So.. it works.
I had a really full weekend.. and before taking a look at the ChOW area.. here's some more SB's for you.

Openanewworld and zanzan are two amazing artists that I think should be looked at a bit closer. Hermann (Openanewworld) did a front and back sketch of a comic book cover (it's a scene with at least 5-6 people and great interaction) and zanzan has some of the best sketches I've seen outside of the greats on CA...

I'll dig for some more.

[Oblio]

I can't go on without marking few things down.



ArenaNet artists have a tradition - once they get the green light to post their art from a project - they do it in mass all on CA.
Grab a chair... and make sure you don't swallow once you bite your lips.
Behold:

And while you are there... be reaady for another blow. Marko Djurdjevik has one year in review at MARVEL.


it's all here:
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=107294

I was afraid you'll miss these. Now.. i'm going to focus more on this section here as Oregano will give me a hand on CHOW.
But... before you explode let me channel you towards one event where you have the chance to express yourself like never before.

1 November is International Day of Self Portraiting - join us.
Last year we gathered more then 330 SP's made in one day.
It's time .. to wave the art scene again. And what better way then to let yourself splash your artistic identity on the canvas?

Click this dammit!

well.. this guy used to have the most impressive colection of sketchbooks.. he is the owner of the record for keeping his calm under the Oooh.. Aaaaahhh and questions like "what brush did you use? " or.. "how do you do stop the ink bleed from one page to the other?" form the viewers of his works on paper. He used to draw people in the subway now he's trying to do it on the move while riding his bicycle.
He had a contract with a certain maker of colored pencils and another maker of printer ink - he advertised on this site and was not banned for spam.
He has no holes.. all his holes are covered - one is blocked with a 60 bucks ink brush - japanese tool for perversions.
He can draw a million guns and rifles and such.. if for each he is allowed to draw some **** farting some ***** while a penguin is **** with a ******* for the pleasure of a latex Santa.

Not long ago.. he recovered his guts and started what is called on this site - a regular SB. See if it's regular enough!
Readers... i give you El Coro and his thread:

Good Morning Terra... here's your ART Update!

First a song by request:

Just saw your post in the sketchbook section and thought I'd get involved.

There are tons of great SBs out there but I'd like to recommend SirGreenSock as people might not necessarily have checked his stuff out. He's burning through sketchbooks at the moment and doing some really good and varied stuff:
