Amazing stuff, I had watched some pages before this and I see a really great improvemente, truly inspiring mate

[{CKL}]

Egg0- You just popped my double-digit page cherry! Thanks man, I really appreciate the encouragement. Hopefully it'll just keep getting better and better.


So, after my all-nighter last friday, I decided to get the wife and kids and get the hell out of the house for the weekend. Checked out my old uni, it has changed pretty drastically. I'll probably be moving back there in June. Psyched. Got back Sunday night and had to prep for my classes. Slammed with work the past two days. But I've been trying to keep up with my anatomy studies. Sorry for the shitty pencils. I'm trying to work on my lines in addition to legs. Pretty crappy so far.

I can see the end in sight for this one. I have Friday off so it's killin' time.

Lunch Doodle.

[{CKL}]

Lunch doodles. I need to not be lazy and do these in color.

[{CKL}]

Whoa, I need to update regularly again. Anyways, I have a logo commission that is screwing up my personal work and studies atm. Hopefully, I should be done with that soon. I've got some near finished studies in the pipelines, so expect a bigger dump at some point.

But for now, lunch doodles from last Friday and yesterday.

Photo study of my son Harper. Mostly focusing on neutral hues.

Hello CKLamb.

A very varied and inspiring sketchbook you have here. I'll definitely follow this sketchbook from now on.

[TFsean]

Ahh i love your stuff man, just beautiful illustrative ideas, i can go through your pages and just be entertained at the way you play with art and figures. Your colours are great and you are going through bridgeman right now so just carry on man its beautiful

[ashess]

Hey cklamb. What lovely work here. Great lunch doodles, lovely portrait of your son. In that piece, the chin seems a little long in relation to nose/forehead. But ofc I havent seen your son, maybe he just has a firm jaw. The anatomie, its good. But I think you could use some longer lines, and a few less. You can allways crosshatch later, but these studies are as good a place of any to practise line quality. Again, beatifull stuff and thank you for dropping me a word!

(edit spellos typing on phone is hard, mkay )

[Shadow Stalker]

I really like this sketchbook.

Subscribed. No time now, but I'll definitely be going through these pages soon.

[JAB!]

So sick! Keep it up!

[LastGen]

Thanks for having a look at my sketchbook.
The last study is nice, such a lovely kid. Your character concepts are great as well, keep up the good work!

[Lux_Aeterna]

hey there, thanks a lot for dropping by my sb. =) I have browsed through the pages and your works are really good. As far as I can tell, your values are very nice! i also like your character concepts a lot. I'll keep an eye on that sketchbook, its really interesting and full of nice stuff.

[Monsieur-Beefy]

This book is soo good !!

[Jovian M]

Painting of your son is awesome, man.

Man, is this a traditional painting? Sickkkkk.

[Art Minded]

I have to agree with Jovian, that painting is phenomenal. As is everything in this goldmine of a sketchbook, haha. You're seriously an inspiration, man!

Keep up the great work!

[Velocity Kendall]

Hello sir!
firstly thankyou so much for your envouragement and support. I have to guiltily admot I dont think Ive ever actually been into a private gallery, let alone displayed work in one but I should visit more, just today I was telling someone to visit museums alone more, so I should take my own advice! I dont think my stuff is really gallery fodder to be honest!
Ive missed a whole bunch of pages in your book which Im catching up with, and provisionally I have to say everything from around the post 245 zone is phenomenal.
This... wow, it would make an incredible environment.
Ive been reading a book about a future Africa after an alien biological package has hard landed on Mouth Kilimanjaro and is unfurling into a complex biomechanical jungle, and have been compiling imagery toward a picture, of coral reefs, brains, laval flows, rainforests, and colourscapes like this image; consider me inspired.

[Black Spot]

Love the picture of your two girls and your son is pretty cute as well. Life looks good.

[{CKL}]

thegrayslayer- Thanks! The Three Brothers project is my brain child, so a lot of love is going into it.

Greip- Thanks for dropping a line, I hope to see you around!

TFsean- Dude! Thanks, that means a lot coming from someone so talented and driven!

ashess- Thanks for the crit! I think you're right about that chin.

Shadow Stalker-Thanks! Don't be stranger mang!

JAB- Thanks dude!

LastGen-Thanks!

Lux_Aeterna-Thanks, I'll be keeping up with you as well!

Monsieur-Beefy-

Jovian M- LOL, man you dragged some of my undergrad stuff out. Yeah, that was one of my first observational pieces.

Art Minded- Thanks for the encouragement! It keeps me inspired!

Velocity Kendall- You should take a stroll into some private galleries for sure, you might be surprised at how your work could fit in one way or another if you chose to push it in that direction. BTW, that's an interesting idea about the colorscapes. Maybe I can use them as a basis for some of my commercial stuff.

Black Spot- Thanks, they are my love and joy. Life feels good.


So what the hell, a month and a half later, and finally an update! Gah! I've been busy wrapping up my stint here as a high school art teacher. Just trying to make the last week and a half. After that it's full time art for life! CAN'T WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!!!

So I finally had broke away from work and started a few sketches for my Three Brothers project. Rough stuff, but at least the ball is rolling again. Aside from some camping and a move to different town the next few months should be pretty busy.

Can't wait to start painting on these.

[NickyBeats]

Great updates man! Love the three brothers character, and the dynamism in the last one is wicked!! Keep at it man!

[Jovian M]

well that old painting is sweet as hell. I'd pay some bank for something like that. These Three Brothers pieces are coming along man. Concepts were looking sweet and I think these three paintings are gonna be pretty dope. I dig the pose in the last one a lot.

[{CKL}]

Nicky & Jovian- Thanks! Love you guys!


Got that bitch a ninja...bitches love ninjas...

[ThomasM]

some nice characters here and really liking that piece you made whilst you were reading that alien book. Just out of interest, what was it called? sounds great

[Shadow Stalker]

Dude, nice update. Really like the color choices.

[Mark Tarrisse]

Definitely nice work !

[Black Spot]

Good start on those three, but I'm looking forward to seeing the last one develop the most as it has a great dynamic going on.

[Kambei Shimada]

Last three characters are awesome.

Quality sketchbook man!

[{CKL}]

ThomasM- You know, I think you're referring to VC's post, but whatever he's talking about, it did sound pretty cool. Maybe he'll drop the title if he drops by.

Shadow Stalker- Thanks! Color was really difficult for me when I started out, so I really appreciate the compliment!

Mark Tarisse- Thanks dude!

Black Spot- Yeah, me too. I really need to get out of my comfort zone, and that one is pushing me.

Kambei Shimada- Thanks for dropping a line!

Some updates and a few scribbles. I wish I would have started all my design sheets in color now. I started the new culture (red,black, and cream colored clothing) going directing into color and it was a lot more fun. Still have work to do on plenty, but I just want to keep the ball rolling as the ideas come. I've got a few traditional Master Studies in progress (Sargent, Rembrandt, and Holbein) that I hope to be posting up soon, along with some other design sheets I'm playing with.

[Mark Tarrisse]

Really liking the colors you're using, and the concept are really nice too !
