Just wanted to move some sketches over to this sketchbook from my old one, hope no one minds...

But first I wanted to take the time to respond to some replies in the old sketchbook, sorry it took so long clanlord and extremeillustrator, I appreciate your feedback:

Hola!

I came to this sketchbook by chance and it created me an impression. Is this your first SB here? If it is you are on a way to improve considering your sense of movement and volume. You got some serious base and if you continue drawing more and more you will definitely develop the right skills you need. My only concern is about why there is no finished work here - or if there is sorry because I do not consider fast painting as fully finished work.
There are tons of cool sketches out here and It is very funny to look at them. Cheers for the work and I am really looking forward to see more from you. - G

Thank you clanlord! I really do want to post some finished work on here soon, so far everything is NDA but I'm going to put some time into doing some finished private pieces finally. Hopefully those will be here soon.

no doubt the work is good i like the way u draw the faces its really impressive. keep working hard that what i can say.

Thank you extremeillustrator! Encouragement is much needed, life has been hard lately.

And the moved sketches:

Daily sketch, and one of my 20 minute brain farts.

[ismo]

That DSG piece made my day, thanks

Everything's looking good so far, definately an sb to keep an eye on. Your drawing seem pretty tight and there's plenty of variety in the subjects. Keep pushing and studying.

[bagtaggar]

Rumpelstiltzkin: Thank you!
ismo: also thank you!

Here is some more from today:


And I'm sure most of you recognize this from a book...

[brubaker]

wonderful sketches! I love the angular style. I really like post #7 too.

[Quike Garcia]

Hahaha, the hippo looks great I really like your works

[bagtaggar]

Thank you brubaker!

Thank you Quike Garcia!

[bagtaggar]

Just screwin' around at the end of the work day...

[Abrodos]

Amazing value/light skills. Try to correct those small anatomy flaws and this SB will be greater than it currently is! Keep up the good work!

[Harmageddon]

"wow", that's the first word that came to mind..
You have great skills, both in linedrawing and coloring I see no real flaws. Although let this in no way encourage you to stop developing, quite the contrary! Just keep on rocking!

[Artofinca]

Lovely sketchbook, post more!

[bagtaggar]

Abrodos: I'll keep it in mind, thanks.

Harmageddon: Thanks! I'll keep churning 'em out!

Artofinca: Also thank you, saw your sketchbook as well, beautiful work!

Some WIP, a painting I'm working on for a couple of close friends of mine, fraternal twin brothers, who are headed to Afghanistan:

I'm thinking about putting together a tutorial... in the next month or so if I have time...

What would you like to see tutorialized? Sketching technique, painting technique, or something more abstract, like thinking about forms/shapes?

[Quike Garcia]

I'd love to see some tutorial in painting technique.. I really suck at it

[UrbanHermit]

Your sketchbook shows some great ideas. What I admire the most is your hatching skills it really brings life to your drawings. I can see from your work as well you have your own style, you can tell each drawing came from the same artist.

I suggest you make a tutorial on your hatching techinique if you find the time to make one.

[Icecold]

Well i have problems with traditional media, i can handle with digitals, so sketching techniques with the pressure on how to shade well would be great,
Thank you already for spending some time on such a newb like meh

[bagtaggar]

Sounds like I should do a sketch tutorial if I go by the majority

Here's some mushy smush:

I haven't done mechanical work in a little while... Here's another squeezing:
