Super Skoda - Sketchbook

[super skoda]

Doudou
Ha Ha ! I usually don't carry water colors with me. Most of the time, I'll draw stuff with a pen or pencil and a few days later, I'll paint over them.

I made the book in the photo from scratch. I really got into book binding a few years ago. If I have all the materials I need, I can put a book together in just about 3 or 4 hours.

If you are interested, there are lots of great books on the subject. I found this book particularly helpful:http://www.amazon.com/Hand-Bookbindi...6145304&sr=8-1

I think its great how you make your own books, I'd imagine it adds an extra personal touch to the work you do in it! I might even try making one myself
Also i really like the watercolours you are doing, its great how you've achieved certain effects in them, brings the pieces to life. Do you use any particular colour palette? Or just use colours depending on what each painting is about/what mood you want to achieve?

[Delmar]

Ha! Finally found one who might be interested in my collection of playmate pictures from the 50's and 60's as reference..hehe

No, your style is great....i swear i had to laugh so hard when i saw the exhausted plain on the very first page.....and tin tin is great...your definitely right about the more realistic the more scary!...

Your watercolors are awesome! One of the only people that I've seen successfully work that medium. Any advice in their use and application?

[codenothing]

sigh.... now i have to go buy a set of watercolors.... Damn you insperational artists!!!

[Lair Radical]

Love it! Great style and color. Just right.

[super skoda]

MonkeYoakum: Dude, you haven't seen anyone use water colors till you checked out Sargent's stuff: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0520...38#reader-link
My only advice is to keep it loose and use paint all the time.
codenothing: Get some! Watercolors are really fun.
Lair Radical: Thanks!

[MonkeYoakum]

ok damn. You're right those are some rich colors. I might just have to break out my set.

[DeathChalupa]

Neat. I really like your girls and vivid colors.
Like if I found your sketchbook discarded in some remote area with no identification, I'd be pretty psyched and keep it in my book shelf <_<

[smokenmirrors]

lovin' your figure work and traditional methods. Beautiful!

[BRINKMAN!]

Nice cuckoo! I also love the lettering/typography in your sketchbook.

[Nellin]

Man.. Your style is really awesome.. 4 Stars thats a joke.. you are 5 stars in my book!

[Ninjerina]

Like some other people said above, you have a great fluidity to your style. My favorite one is the two pager of the face muscles of the guy with I guess a pig ear(?) definetly cool. Man, this website intimidates me!

[super skoda]

Thanks Ja love everybody!

Ninjerina: I think the "pigs ear" was the skin from that dudes face. I copied it from a photo in a book about human taxidermy.

Heres some from my Saturday morning figure drawing session:

[Eon]

Those watercolor pieces are just beautiful. Looking at them also helps me see how to light people, so thanks!

[Azalin]
