pimp.

**flurry** · January 17th, 2012, 03:40 PM

Cool update, lovely impressionistic coke can, only thing i can crit about it is the ellipse looks a little too pinched on the right hand side.
Brill statue work as always, and those trees are really lush.

**LastGen** · January 17th, 2012, 03:58 PM

Damn, those pencils are beautiful! I love your expressive lines!

**Mane** · January 20th, 2012, 09:00 AM

This at the top of the stairs at the V&A? I always sketch that statue, such a powerful pose.

**MattGamer** · January 30th, 2012, 02:17 PM

you enjoying life drawing?

**Koto** · February 5th, 2012, 08:47 AM

purb36> Cheers! Keep rocking it, buddy!
flurry> Yeah it is pinched, was worse before but I didn't want to spend a lot of time on it

LastGen> Thanks man!
Mane> It is, it's a bit of a pain to draw there since it's right near a main corridor! Wish they left it downstairs.
MattGamer> Yeah man, I want to do more landscapes but waiting for the weather to get better! Thanks for stopping by!

tehmeh> Appreciate it man!! Got to thank you for all the ref/tips/tutorials you throw all the time.

rumpenstiltzkin> Thanks dude!

Small update-

**flurry** · February 16th, 2012, 03:09 PM

Nice! I especially love the figures in the lower right. Detailing in the rock on the left is killer too.

**Luckers** · February 18th, 2012, 02:29 PM

the illustrations are looking awesome!
I really like the mood of the red piece, by the way. great work!

**Pedro Ferreira** · February 19th, 2012, 02:47 PM

ill be sure to come by this sketchbook now and then.

**greyskill** · February 23rd, 2012, 03:02 PM

Cool new stuff!

I love the trees. The vehicles are nice too!

I like your progress gifs. It is always cool to see some of another persons process!

Keep +3h kewl stuff coming, and thanks for your stop by my SB

**aks9** · February 26th, 2012, 05:04 PM

wow those last ones are super awesome, the ones with progress shots. i really like the whole composition and idea with the girl on the tank, & the guy in the red room

i am a noob at enviro stuff still, but maybe in the last one you posted, if you tinted the closest tower a little blue, desaturated a tiny bit, it would help set it apart from the fore-ground object overlapping it? they seem to merge together a bit because the value is similar in some parts

**Vritra** · February 28th, 2012, 12:58 PM

Really stellar sketchbook you have going here, Koto. Nothing but asspats from me.

The collab with Greg Hillsman is of special mention, I think. Gorgeous use of colours, and thank you for posting the process as well. Loving everything you've posted so far. Also, great to see such solid pencil work.

**kischi** · March 7th, 2012, 11:11 AM

seriously badass man- love the style from this http://www.ushareimg.com/images/418F...FlatReduct.png
and the jet wow.
thanks for stopping by

**witcrack** · March 10th, 2012, 08:05 AM

Loove that jet and the blue-haired girl. Just awesome

**Kapri** · March 11th, 2012, 05:48 PM

Very cool stuff here. The collab with Greg Hillsman has some great shapes going on. The colors feel really good too.

Nice figure drawing, even nicer environment drawing. I just ordered "Drawing scenery" by Jack Hamm and plan to go outside to draw once the weather here in Amsterdam will let me.

I'd like to see even more color stuff if you can find the time. Cheers!

**Koto** · March 18th, 2012, 08:43 PM

flurry> Thank you, long way to go yet!
Luckers> Cheers, buddy!
pgf95> Thank you for stopping by

greyskill> No probs dude, keep up teh good work yourself!
aks9> Thank you for your suggestion, a few people have mentioned that foreground being troublesome, will keep it mind for sure.
Vritra> No problem, glad you enjoyed!
kischi> Hi 5!
witcrack> Cheeers!
Kapri> I know how you feel, looking forward to spending summer enjoying the weather and drawing outside again in the nice London weather

Some miscellaneous 'speedies' (refs used)-

**Art Minded** · March 18th, 2012, 11:37 PM

Man, you are right where I want to be. Some seriously great studies in here along with awesome toons. I'll definitely be checking back when I need a bit of inspiration. Keep it up!

**purb36** · March 19th, 2012, 01:45 AM

dude, SUCH a variety of things here; i love how you're pushing your color work these days. great stuff!! always something to learn when i come here...

**greyskill** · March 23rd, 2012, 05:43 PM

Nice post.

I really love the one with the girl and the goose..
What did you do to paint the floor? It is really interesting.

The depth in the one with the pipe is great.
It looks kinda Guild Wars conceptish in vibe.

Keep the good stuff coming!

**Aragah** · March 24th, 2012, 08:20 AM

awesome stuff man. keep it up!

**Vritra** · March 29th, 2012, 04:54 AM

Oh, man, you're good. You're good.

You're already one of the better artists (for me) on the CA sketchbook section. Not just because of technical skill, but you've got a certain flair in the way you execute your work.

Just keep doing what you're doing, Koto. As I see it, you've still got a long way to go. And keep updating, so we can see you rock the road.
