Looking tight Seems like you're shooting high

Is that a COW I see I'm proud.
And I love the sketch trade. Way to go man.

Hugs! And stop sleeping.

[Evil_Sloth]

ahhh, art fuel. this should keep me going for a few more months.
do you prefer loose strokes or precise controlled strokes when you do life drawing?
mind blowing talent here.

[Diego]

SEXY update man...love that cow...

[Saise]

This COW is almost great :3 i like it, but ithink the chara design and this scary faces looks better. I luv them. In one sentence: You rox! Nothing more to said...

[antant]

Awesome sketchbook. Your life studies, original creations and sketches are all superb! Man, it makes me just want to bounce from work, run home and start sketching away...

From page 1 to to now, not only is your work great in my unexperienced opinion, but it actually is getting better if thats possible.

Thanks for sharing!

[vigostar]

I think im secretly in love with your artwork min... its sooooo purdy!!!!

[Onir]

it feels like I say it everytime in this thread, but holy crap lol, amazing stuff once again! your studies are beautiful and your doodles even more so (imo of course). must say as well that I really am liking these fashion studies you're doing, they all look great! again, keep the sketches coming, they always look wonderful!

[Teigrob]

Hey Bumskee! Dude! Where you at? I've seen you posting elsewhere, but nada drawings here! Taking a break? Look forward to seeing what you have to show in the future.

[Nutter]

Neat first C.O.W. post, although I think there were too many shaggy wolf bear type creatures.

Is Monday life drawing on next week? Coz I'll finally be able to make it. YEAH!!!!!!!!

[Form]

guys you should see his latest stuff... omg...

[loomer]

looking great here man. And you are making the most of that Bridgman. I think I copid at least 75% of that book in one sketchbook or another..but looking at your studies (as well as vigostar's) makes me realize I could benefit from drawing them again.

Man...all this is looking really good. I like that last page with all the scary heads...cause it's scary!

But man..that full color C.O.W. piece is awesome. I'd love to see you do more color pieces...cause I'm selfish
OK..I'm gonna come overseas with Dylan..We'll all hang.
(are there Kangaroos everywhere, or has the Discovery Channel lied to us Americans?)

Bumskee! Awesome!

This is freaking great:

MIKECORRIERO, thanks yo, love your proejct. last update was mind blowing. thanks for the nice words.

shyamshriram, thanks!!

Saise, thanks for the nice words dude.

antant, thanks mate, I am glad you enjoyed my work, and thanks heaps for the mega compliment!!

vigostar, hehe thanks ROb!

Onir, nice of you to drop by, thanks mate. well, I have been a bit lazy recently.. gotta get myself cracking!! how u doing anyway?

Teigrob, Hey. I think I been sleping too much and that thing I told you about kept me busy for past few days. hope you are all settled in, ready for Chow?? thanks Tei!

Nutter, Oh kewl, but unfortunately we aren;'t meeting up this monday dude!!!! well, finally you can make it but..oh well....

just kidding..meh yeah I know I am lame hehe I think u got it absolutely right about the COW, I just sort of started from a line when I was scribbling so..

Form, hehe don't lie, I have nothing..

loomer, hahah kangaroos!?!? everywhere???? no.. that's so not true, we don't ride kangaroos to work and we don't see on in our backyard too.. you have to like drive out to the bush for a bit..like 3~5 hrs from the Sydney then you do. did you know koalas stink? I think there's too much BS on TV. hehe anways! thanks for the nice words and encouragement, means a lot coming from you! how's dylan by the way? I haven't touched bridgman in like two weeks I think..

van, thanks!! I guess it's ok, but as nutter pointed out, very boring for COW entry though.

liam.c thanks yo!!

small update..I beeeeen so lazy.. sleeping.. going to try and participate in COW,EOW and Chow.. and do some real finished paintings for myself.. well that's the plan plus keep bridgman going.. well hopefully? C&C welcome as always!

scribbling.. might finished it up later..probably not though..


COW entry.. enter shortly..


abandoned.. just didn't work out, too many flaws, but I thought I throw it up here. going to have another crack at this guardian business..


WIP! another attempt at real tight finished painting.. I get so excited when i start something but gets bored of it so easily too quickly.. but yeah..

[Form]

see. i told you all so.

[sve]

Bumskee, that's a beautiful update. I thought why you work in black in white, maybe you like contrast too much, and suddenly - colors! Those are really gorgeous paintings, I'm enjoying those purple-violet colors with golden dust.

The second painting reminds me the Batman movie where crazy Joker tried to poison the city with huge balloon. The lighting is great and the mood.
I hope you win.

I like the knight and the golden hair child very much, the most, actually. Very romantic and engaging peace. Of course, again I'm asking myself: Was it from an imagination? Colors and the theme complete each other.

The last one is lovely. The worm is heavy and rough, and the fairy looks lovely with those transparent wings. Beautiful!. I'm taking those three, OK.
Sveta Dudetta.

[bumskee]

Form. u cheeky bastard!! thanks for the EOW notice hehe..

Sve! how u doing? well, black and white allows you to work quickly plus you are working with values, I think it's very important part of learning process. But I just realised I hardly have anything in colour plus it's about time I venture slightly into colours. Scarey thought though. The knight and the golden hair piece although abandoned, I will certainly try again with the same theme, i think I just lost my interest, the work lacks something I have yet to figure out. This idea has been roaming my head for a bit so, and they were all off from head. Well glad you like the stuff!! you are such a poet dude. hehe

EOW entry!!

[sve]

Hey, Min, that's great piece.
Don't want to be in this little valley in this minute. Intimidating feeling before disaster takes it over. Jeez. I see some buildings there, Oh God! Draw some hero just for the balance.
Sveta Dudetta

[Teigrob]

Ahhh...Bumskee posted! Wonderful, simply wonderful! I SO need to get into painting again...I am so lazy...just want to doodle pencil sketches all day long. But I think...I think I will *actually* paint my ChOW! Yes! There's no fear of me winning, so hey...why not, eh? Especially with you for competition, and Oregano, and Form, and...but I depress myself. Cheers dude, and keep on posting regularily!!

[Onir]

gaaah amazing stuff as always man hehe; love these last paintings you done all seem to give a nice dark feeling to them. must say I like the one with the man holding his cloak over the girl; looks so cool to respond to whatcha said before I'm doing alright; haven't been able to post many things because alot of what I've done here is in charcoal so I can't scan it. I'ma try to get into a better posting groove though. anyway, great stuff as always man, hope to see more as always!

[rodrigo!]

i like ur eow entry but i dont like how uve painted the clouds..look rushed IMO

[Diego]

hey dude, great stuff, hope to see more and more of those bridgman's studies.
Cheers.

[ammoburger]

beautiful

[vigostar]

hey, Min.. its good seeing that your participating in various activites here... good work overall... i def. wanna see you stay focus and bang out a fully rendered colored piece.... i think you could make some magic happen!!! do it!!! hopefully we get our sketch trade done by the end of the year!!!!
