DUDE... u got sum serious fuckin talent goin on bro. i just started back drawing tonight, i got bored and couldnt sleep and i was lookin up some vemon pics to doodle and get my edge back. but then i saw ur work.. and im blown away, i have sumthing to work towards and try to compete with. i was woundering, if u have any spare time on ur hands.. could u email me a few step-by-step pics? just basic bodies. i havent touched a pencil in about a year, so im still gettin sum rust off.. tomorow ill post my doodle i did tonight, but if u could help get me back on my feet with just a few very simple step-bystep to making a torso.. i would greatly appreciate it. and dude, i know u might just think were messin around.. but u should seriously send some of these to marvel. i hold up thier pics to urs and u can tell ur shit is meant for comics, plus uve never taken classes.. ill mail u money to take them. i see u going places with drawing and it hurts me watching you not make shit off all of these nice ass pics. SEND IT IN OR I WILL. HELL LOVE THIS.. my mom took 5 years of classes and she even thinks ur shits amazing. she did like you, had the talent just did nothing with it.. dont be like her. but yo, props on all ur work. lookin forward to seein more and mayb posting some of my things once i get back into it.

[Tigermilk]

U totally rule, man. The last guy was really great. Good anatomy and nice rendering. The face was rather.. different tho.
I'd like to see more!

evidence: man, believe me, i wish i was doing something in art but i just finished school and got a job as an engineer. my hearts not in it and im realizing it real quick. im hoping to start something on the side, but we'll see what happens. thanks for checking in hope to hear from you again.

purb36: MAH MAN ! lol. man i got problems, after scanning these 2 pics my scanner shitted on me. i cant seem to get it to work properly, i saw the sketches you did in the thunderdome and there pretty good bro, i wanted to put some of mine on the thread too but this scanner is crapping out on me. i think ill have purchased a new one by thursday. i hope. i think im gonna miss the deadline man, sorry about that, if so, you up on me.

drag-5: thanks for the advice bud. i really appreciate it. i agree with you in a lotta things you said. since ive basically trained myself with comic books and basically drawing off of memory cuz i dont really use reference that much(which by the way i keep telling myself i should, otherwise ill be stuck where im at forever) im having trouble mixing the comic world with the real world, but hopefully i can do that succesfully one day. thanks again.

Jae: whattup man, thanks so much, i sent ya an email, hope you got it. definately post some of your stuff yo. Thanks for lookin in.

Tigermilk: thanks man, yeah the face is kinda, ugh. i have no idea why its a pig. im muslim and we dont even eat ham or pork. lol. but thanks for looking and ill hope to hear from you again.

anyways here some stuff i did at work and im pretty pissed right now cuz my scanner is , well......i guess busted. gotta buy a new one and i think ill have it by thursday. anyways, heres whassup. . . . .

[purb36]

once again, good stuff man.

for the sword guard (the disc-shaped thing between the handle and the blade), on a standard sword it would cover the area from the first knuckle of the index finger to the first knuckle of the thumb. dont know if it was meant to be smaller or larger or standard or whatever; just lettin you know.

4th quarter; check up.

[PaulGanguly]

It's called a "hilt", and it varies between swords. Some swords similar to this one have no hilt whatsoever.

Anyway, Sajad, I still maintain that this is great work, but my only problem with it is that the figures are too static, and when they are more dynamic, the poses still seem a little canned.

I'm aware that you're not an art student per se, but I think that a figure drawing class would be serve you well, but pending that, the book dynamic anatomy would likely give you a lot more diversity in your poses.

Also, some of this stuff would be great to see colored.

All in all, just wanted to say keep up the good work.

-Paul

[sajad126]

hey thanks for the advice guys.....much appreciated. i hope to be able to take everyones advice and put em to good use one day. anyways, my pc is busted on top of my scanner so i while i was at my boys house i scanned this is there, its all i got for now......until i get my hardware back.. . . . . . later.

ps, sorry for the shit being so big, i just dont have time to fix it. . . . later.

[Insane14]

OMG, your stuff is B-E-utiful. Lovely, lovely work. Your Marvel work is Incredible. Well I'll be lookin for more.

[spork891]

Your sketchbook is a lot of fun. I like the imaginative bits you throw in. Do you find that you study directly out of comic books most often?

[legacy]

wow man, this shit is great. your lines are so clean and concentrated.
please keep these coming man

[sajad126]

Insane14: thanks so much, its very much appreciated, i got alot to learn still, im glad you like the marvel stuff though cuz thas what i doi more than anything else is the comic book stuff, im trying to mix the both of em though, keep on checkin. . . . thanks again ")

spork891: im glad you like it, i actually taught myself through comic book art. havent really taken any classes so im kinda wingin it. but to answer your question . . . . my art is totally based on comic books so thas why alotta it looks funky proportion wise. but im working on it, but as long as it looks appealing to some im happy !! thanks much. ")

legacy: im real glad you like it man !! haha. ill definately keep em coming, ive been outta a computer and scanner for a couple days and just found out today that ill be getting it back next week. so ill try and post something else as soon as i get my computer back man.

im real glad to hear from some folks and the commenst have given me some push to try and bust out some more stuff. . . thanks again guys. ")

[looky]

[theartguy]

wow! inspiring progression. keep it up bro!

-S

[Aremah]

Very Travis Charest - the later pics - but with your own touch. I'm lovin' it

[sajad126]

looky: Thanks so much and i hope you like the drawing !! i try to keep up with request, lol.

theartguy: hey thanks man ! hope you keep checking it out. lemme know what you think from time to time.

Aremah: hey thats a great compliment to me cuz im a huge travis charest fan and i look for his stuff alot as well as jim lee's. thanks a bunch.

well heres some stuff i did a couple days back while at work. hulk and juggy was a request by looky so i hope you like it man. and the second one is just well, doodles. later guys !!! GO HEAT !!! you see my boy D-wade !!! That guy is unbelievable. but the pistons are gonna tough to beat !

[luxun]

dunno if i can post this here, but i did some quick colors over one of your sketches from page one. here it is, done in oc.

[Gridur]

I've been lurking this thread now from now and then, and i must say that i get inspired each time to get better on my figure drawing, you really rule on these, and each pic you post is just great, dont know if i can crit anything, but i'll be sure to watch if you would post a bad thing someday hehe, very well, cant wait to see more more more!!!

[Aremah]

Now, for a bit more constructive comments, since last night I was just in awe.

I really like your pencilwork. I'm not entirely sure how 'proper' it is given the field (and inking that follows) - there are many shades of gray all evenly filled - but I like it.

I also like your general anatomy - i.e. well formed, buff muscles, but not overdone with bulging veins, etc. However, if there is one nitpick to be said, it is the size of the chests in some shots (mostly the front ones, like the shadowed batman doodle) - they are huge, and somehow don't entirely fit with the rest of their bodies.

But it's just a nitpick, and only in some pictures. I'll definitely keep an eye out for this thread, keep drawing!

[looky]

thanks i like it

now i must do a clay figure couse my man pencilator just bout me super sculpt so im going to do something=)

work on dude but more details

work on bro!

[Frank the Ninja]

Awesome man. I have always checked out your stuff in this thread. You really make me want to draw more.

The only comment that I can think of that would be helpful to you in general is, try more variety. Different styles and subjects. It helps I hear.

Keep it up, awesome stuff.

[sajad126]

luxun: good job man, looks good. i gotta start to color more man.

Gridur: LOL, thanks man, im sure if you look enough youll find stuff that you can crit on, lol. thanks again for checking in.

Aremah: hey your right man. . . .i gotta keep an eye out for that from now on. thanks !

looky: thanks yo ! keep checking in and lemme know wassup.

Frank the Ninja: Lol, thanks man. . . yeah, i should do that, it does help, i mean everyone keeps saying so you know? lol. . . . im on it, thanks man ! and are you really a ninja? i never met a ninja b4 ?

well heres just some stuff i did at work in pen, just some doodles when your trying to pass the time at work.. . . .the second one is for a friend. aight, take care guys. . . . .

[USER777]

good stuff, i really like your style. a little cartoony, but not too much.

are you a professional yet? if not, you should become one
no real crits, but maybe you can give me some in my sketchbook.

cheers,

Lim

[purb36]

with a capital "TT"

love the last set of drawings. thx for providing the competition in the t-dome; let's keep it up. g'luck with work homie.

[Darolan]

Geezer,

Very cool style you got going on here. If I were you I'd go for it and send some to the major publishers.

As for crits I've checked almost your whole thread and I noticed that you almost never draw a person standing on his feet (or in full lenght)
A lot of times you just stop at the knees or make 'em stand in water. Why's that? You talented enough to overcome this.

Anyways, I really enjoyed your thread and man do you post often!

[Sok N. Wett]

Billy definately you have the talent to overcome that no foot thing..lol. It's a bad habit for me to I use to always draw clenching fist to hide drawing actual hands. Sorry I haven't been posting here, but I've always check your updates. I was going to send you those comic book boards, but it got lost during my move, and thought I still had them, but that site I gave ya awhile back, you should be able to order from em. Start doing some panels and start submitting em. Get some finished looking piece done and put them on the website, let me know if you need help with that. Anyways keep doing your thang.

[Sept13]

Hey, you got great style there, especially nice with proportions and anatomy.

But there's a flaw, you've became a bit repeative and there's nothing really "new" to expect. I'd like to see you draw something totally new for yourself, do something that's totally original and that's never been done before.

You got the skill, now get to your full potential

I quess joining into the daily sketch group could widen your selection of drawings a quite.

[darkchild]

Your pencils are amazing. Great line work. I'm still trying to improve my line and rendering. It's funny because when I first started to sketch people I started with imitating Jim Lee and the X-Men. You did a way beter job of sketching super heroes than I did. Keep posting your work. I'll be checking back.

[sajad126]

lim: thanks for the comments lim, comic art is just more fun if you keep it somewhat cartoony. . . if you dont, its not comic art. oh and i wish i was a professional. . . .that would mean i get paid. that would also mean i could quit my regular job and be blessed by making a living doing what i love........aaah, one day.

purb36: what up purb !? thanks man, havent started doing the bathroom for the thunderdome, but whatta freaking great idea. i havent started it yet but im looking forward to have fun with this one. i cant beleiev im actually drawing captain americas bathroom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lolololol!!!!!!!

Darolan: hey much thanks ! ! man, i ve heard that from alotta people about chopping off the feet. honestly i dont even realize i do that. and its not liek i have a phobia of drawing feet either, but i guess im giving the wrong impression, mayB its cuz im a lazy ass and pretty much get bored real quick witha drawing and i guess i pass my threshold b4 i get the knees or feet, lolol. but i promise ill try to be aware of it. and yeah i try to keep posting often cuz i figure this way i will draw more. . . . try anyways.

Sok N. Wett: YOOOOOooooooooooo !!!! wassup yo ? havent heard from you in a while, hope all is good. its cool about the boards, i think im gonna order some next week. btw, your sketchbook is looking pretty tight my friend.

Sept13: you know what? after reading your post i actually went through my thread and i think your 100% right. i think im gonna do that, good job sept !!!! hope you check back and lemme know how im doing with that

darkchild: thanks, thats how i got started...with comic books. jim lee is awesome and i dunno if you read my earlier posts or not but i mention him a lot as well as travis charest and adam hughes.. . . you know who else is awesome but its hard to find his art? bart sears. whatta beast. anyways, keep hittin the sketchbook. sooner or later it will come along, thanks for the post

well just something i did this morning......

[purb36]

well, if you go take a look at where Thor popped a squat, youll see that it was your idea in the first place; im just putting it to good use... 8)

keep on truckin. trucker.

[Majofo]

Hey Sajad,

[QUOTE=sajad126] comic art is just more fun if you keep it somewhat cartoony. . . if you dont, its not comic art. }

Okay so I am wondering what you think of guys like Alex Ross?? his art is not really cartoony...do you consider what Alex Ross Does as Comic art??

Oh and also...earlier a guy asked you if you could draw The Hulk vs The Juggernaut.
I was wondering if you could draw a pic of THe Joker???

Incase you don't know who Alex Ross is....
Alex Ross' homepage

Thanks,
Matt

[sajad126]

majofo: whats up bud? yeah man alex ross is the man, i love his books "marvels"? hes more of an amazing painter who does comic book chartacters. know what i mean? he brings a serious tone to each character. i love the guy, his sketches and colored pieces are amazing. you have to consider him a comis book artist becuase he does comic books, but if he wasnt drawing superheroes, you wouldnt know he was a comic book artist. the guy is freakin amazing though. but you know what? mayB its just that, he found that this style works perfect for his audience? mayB people are getting tired of the cartoony characters and want to see the heroes in more serious forms. . .. i dunno, good point though bro. take care.

[Majofo]

For me Alex Ross's art kind of makes me feel like it's real. The way it looks and all makes it very easy for me to imagine it actually happening somewhere. It's Super cool. I know a lot of people that don't like the cartoony look in comics..I think the best kind of comic art is the kind that's more realistic but with a cartoony touch to it rather then cartoony all the way. Like Ed McGuiness..his arts cool but it's far to cartoony for my tastes.

anyways...talk to you later..as ever your art is top notch.

~matt

[sajad126]

whats up peoples, kinda bummed, my team lost tonight to the detroit pistons, but they basically got this game cuz wade was unable to play. hopefully hell play game 7 and man am i excited for that game!!!! if any of you can watch it. . .WATCH IT ! its gonna be a dandy of a game. I PROMISE. anyways, here somethin i did for a friend.. . . . later guys..

LETS GO HEAT !!!! LETS GO HEAT !!!!! LETS GO HEAT !!!!!!!

[purb36]

i love it when you call me big pop-pa!

[looky]

the right leg on tarzan looks a bit stiff if you ask me dont know if somebody els said it but as always your work is nice =)

do you have any idea what i can do in super sculpt bro?

[sajad126]

Looky: yeah man, your right. . . gotta loosen it up a lil bit. . .hmm something to sculpt? for some reason i always though subzero or scorpion would be cool to scult especially subzero. i saw an idea one time thats omeone had but it dindt come out to good. he had subzero holding a head infront of him as if he just finished him. . . . and hanging from the head was the spinal cord. that would be cool, and i will def try one day. hope it helped in any way whats so ever. lol. probably confused you more.

purb: lol, you knwo it bro, good idea with the thunderdome man ! cant wait to get at it yo.

anyways, just some doodles i run back at everynow and then at work, i prolly wont ever touch these again.. . . the last one is actually on a divider. . . lol

[P E N Ricklund]

Looking good. Thou that's the biggest version of spiderman I've ever seen.
That's not one friendly neighbourhood spider I'd wanna met.
Those faces on the other drawing is nice, looks like something new from you They could have been in love

[Projkt]

I love your style and your work, keep it up. I especially love your versus shit being that I’m a big comic book fan I think it’s awesome. How long do you usually spend on a drawing?

[FLCL00]

got some great stuff, but that head on spidey is really small compared to his body. other than that, great rendering

[sajad126]

pencilator : hey man yeah he is kinda big and his head actually is freakishly small after reading FLCL00 's post. . . how the hell did i miss that?! thanks again for the company bud.

projkt : thanks for checking in . . .good to hear someone else who loves comics like me hmm. how long on a drawing? well, i draw rather quickly and dont pace myself which i should. which probably is why i dont have much finish pieces. i gotta shake that habit along with many others.

FLCL00 : hey thanks man ! ! yeah his head is small. . . i seriousely dont know how i missed that!?

havent had time to actually draw a lot lately. wish i did. i was looking for a folder to take to work and found this binder that had some drawings from like 99 i think. anyways, they brought back some memories cuz i remember drawing some of these while in class, hahaha. . ..lol. .. here they are. . .

[cretin]

Good stuff! The lady in your first post is pretty solid! You do that in ball-point pen? Looks great, I love your Wolverine pics, too! ^^ Your style is really cool, too. Can't wait to see more from you!

[Nifelfang]

Hi!
Never comment something here before, but i thought i should drop a comment here now.
This is cool pics you've got here, and i love the way you shade your stuff!
And the anatomy is just awesome! me like a lot

Peace dude.

[purb36]

hey dude, i just wanted to say again how i love all the care you give to these drawings.

love the wildc.a.t.s. warblade that you drew; on that same page though, the guy on the bottom right...his left arm (right side on the screen) is really messed up. the way the shoulder is pointing, we should be seeing more downward on the arm. it looks fine at first glance, but i you really look at it, it kinda looks like its broken.
keep it up with the good art man; g'luck with work and stuff. see you in the dome. and oh, it was actually 2.5 weeks...one week rest and then one and a half weeks to work on your vision of beauty.
happy hunting.

edit: oh, and the last guy with the gun, his face looks a little flat. i think the eye on the left (his right eye) lookes like it's too far back in his head, which flattens the face.

i crit because i care.

[metroeast]

I like your take on the Thundercats. Looks a lot like Jim Lee. You should self publish your own stuff.

[Tigermilk]

Hey, man!
Great stuff, id love to see som coloured ones too.
Keep it up!

[sajad126]

cretin: hey thanks alot, yeah its all in ball point pen, its one of my favorites. . . thanks for noticing it !

Nifelfang: thanks so much ! im glad you decided to post, keep watching and let me know what you think. . . . .

purb36: yo purb, thanks agin for the line !what can i say yo, keep it real in the oriental !! by the way i gotta check that place out some day.

metroeast: thundercats rock !!! jims lee rocks !!! if i could publish my stuff. . . . that would ROCK !!! thanks for the encouragement !

Tigermilk: hey thanks tiger! man that sounded gay. anyways, i will hopefully be putting forth more energy to turn my stuff into colored pieces just gimmie some time on that. im a fool thats lazy which makes me the worst kind.

just something here i dunno if i posted b4 and dont wanna go back in the thread to check.

[sajad126]

i was at work and my friend there asked me to sketch this for em. i guess he loves LOBO, anyways, here it is. . .it was on a small 4X5 scrap sheet of paper. . . thought it would give me something to post. . . .

[P E N Ricklund]

Ohh... who dosn't love LOBO
Thou his chest looks a little to small for the head. If we're talking LOBO that is
Plz, make another where he's bashing and smashing someone's face.

[looky]

hmm subzero subzero dosent ring any bell who? draw him =) and in that pose you just described or not just but a whil ago.

thanks for the ideas always welcome work on bro!

[Kondor]

howdy, pretty awesome work on here, i'm a big comic book fan! and you're work is imense!

[curing laziness]

cool stuff. more plz.

[klid]

nice body of work here, the only crit i have, and i dont know if anyone has already said this, but your hands on the majority of the pieces are too small. other than that keep doin it. peace

[obi_e]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!! That sums it up for me my man. What you have is a gift from God.Keep up the good work. Do you have a website?

[metroeast]

I like the Lobo and Gambit sketches. Very clean drawing with a nice take on the characters. I like how you thinned down Lobo.

[sajad126]

pencilator : thanks man, yeah i didnt really plan on it getting as thin as it did but hey. thanks.

looky : the guy from the video game "mortal kombat", the blue one? aight next time ill have something for you. thanks again !

Kondor : much thanks man ! keep a look out.

curing laziness : thanks, ill try to keep em coming more often as im trying to draw everyday now.

klid : your right, ill keep a look out for it, thanks for the advice.

obi_e : thanks alot, i still have a lot to learn though. but keep lookin in from time to time. thanks again !

metroeast : thanks for the crit ! i will keep it in mind, thanks again! !

heres just some drawings i did this past week. .
oh i saw batman 2wice this past week.....
it was a FREAKING awesome movie !!!
i cant wait for fantastic 4. . . .

[looky]

thx dude your spoiling me =)

[sajad126]

Looky : heres that pic of subzero I was talking about. hope it helps.. ... I saw someone try and do a sculpture of it when i was in junior high, it was pretty cool, cuz the spine from the head was made from like string with rocks as the lil pieces of bone. . . anyways, i thought it was pretty neat. . . . hope it helps. . ..actually now that i think about it, its probably not something you would like cuz you like doing creatures and stuff right? If thats the case, theres a charcter called Goro from the same game, hes got 4 arms and hes freaking huge dude, he would make a pretty good piece i think. . . . anyways, here you go man. keep on with them cool as sculptures !

[Sok N. Wett]

Wattap Billy, it's always good to see your updates. Haven't been here for awhile, Started a new job 2 weeks ago siding houses, so I really haven't time to draw anything. Just wanted to say wassup and keep doing your thing, try and get some comic panels going, you definately need to get that comic book career going.

[OleOlsen]

hey sajad....very nice...i really like the fantastic four drawing. I've seen Batman, too. And i was really satisfied, it is going back to the roots.....more black and more dark. I really didn't like that techno colored part 3 and 4. they sucked a lot. But the new one is great. Just as your art

[sajad126]

Sok N. Wett: hey sok, long time no see, hope everythings good. as usuall thanks for the postive reinforcement man, hope to hear from you again..

OleOlsen: yeah man i didnt even see those batmans cuz they looked way too colorful. batman was meant to be dark and this one had it right, like the first batman with micheal keaton. thanks for the input man, hows life over there by the way?

just something i was doing today while on the phone and then tried to finish later on.. . . .

[RanGob]

GOD! You have some serious skills buddy! I love your style, and your art. Your stuff keeps my pencil pumpin'. Keep it up im officially a regular ( Yours is the first sketchbook I will officially be checking daily, seeing as how I just joined 4 days ago.) Don't stop!!
