Maxetormer 2.-D-Sk-T, CLOSED THREAD (--Time to shed the skin-NEW SKETCHBOOK THREAD--)

**Zebz** · November 23rd, 2005, 02:20 AM

Great updates, Max! Lovin' the stuff you're postin' bro! I can't wait to see more! The inks are lovely as well. The image of your Dad is my fav! Great work! The colors are looking mighty good too. I have no backbone for color so it's nice to see someone making some strides in that area! I need to hit the sack as well but I wanted to pop in a issue some words for ya! Keep it up!!!

**Mikko Voipio** · November 23rd, 2005, 03:37 AM

Hard working man you are. Great stuff here and I really respect the amount of effort you've put in your drawings. There's progression thoughout your sketchbook, especially in the shading. I like that last post of yours, but at the moment I'm not using colors at all, so I tend to look at the sketches more carefully. Only thing that bothers me here is David's boobs.

Will have to follow your progress in the future.

**Hiipi** · November 23rd, 2005, 07:04 AM

Hello Maxxer!

Good stuff going on here, the livedrawings are superb-o! Especially the ink pieces. Don´t know if you remember me from Prague but was fun to see you there, will keep on popping by here!!!

pose so, yeah i cant od that one but I have plans to do a
very long and detalied selfportait, so expect more drawing with that
same style with more detail and hours invested on them,

hard HARD work is paying off greatly, KEEP it UP Ryan!

Ink doodle

and more ink doodles

some life drawing with charcoal

**mentler** · December 10th, 2005, 08:34 AM

Style is getting looser and juicier ‡ movin' on up!!

**madplanet** · December 10th, 2005, 07:00 PM

Nice effect with the lighting on your self-portrait. With the whiteness of the torso, the beard comes at ya like it's in 3-D. Very nice. I also really like your pen work; you pack a lot of detail in with even the loose sketches. You have a very unique style of line too. I think so, anyways.

**Zebz** · December 10th, 2005, 07:34 PM

Inks are lookin' good, mate! The charcoals are pleasant as well. You can really see the form in the first one. I like it a lot!! Don't stop! Keep it comin'!!!

I know what you mean about one class drawings. Most of my teachers only give us the class to work on a drawing. I never feel like I get anything to a level I'm happy with. I'm so SLOW!! Arg... anyhow... hope you're doin' well, bro. I really wish I was headed for Mexico again this Winter... it's so freakin' cold. lol Ah... I long for those sandy beaches...

**one2hit** · December 10th, 2005, 09:16 PM

hey, looking sharp. I'd like to see some more intense head studies, and graphite drawings. practice, practice...get some good photo ref if you need to!

**bumskee** · December 11th, 2005, 03:12 AM

Holy... Cow..

damn these are sweet man.. that's lot of drawing.. The interior of the church has to be my favourite.. frame it!

and the chick just below the airport waiting room drawing. top stuff, 5 x

**maxetormer** · December 11th, 2005, 07:11 AM

mentler: he he leat hope it stay up and moving for along time

thanks for the props master mentler.

madplanet: Im glad you diged the selfportrait and even mor happy to
hear you think I have unique style, finding a style that is right with
me is one of my main headaches so I happy to hear Im finding one
even if Im some how Im unaware of it he, he.

ZebzFree: Well it aint acapulco beach hot around here either, I live on
a mountain city so it kinda cold, (not as cold as some other places) but
Im having a good nice trasicion to winter here

Im so happy to hear
you liked the charcoals, Im divided as when to use smudging and when not
I know I can pull off a good style with my smuging its just a matter of
time and practice, so Im glad to har you like the style and modeling,
Keep strong, I will drop by your thread soon bro.

one2hit: Will do, will do, I need to get par with those amazing
portaits you are cranking up lately,

thanks for the props and
for droping by.

bumskee: Hey! thanks for the vote of cofidence it means a lot
to me, ill would frame the church one but I dont wanna tear the
skechbook apart he he, its an important sketchbook, but I do
apreciate all the nice words a lot, it really cheered me up tons.

Ok evil caracter desing, let me know what you guys think

Ca is some how more stable lately, lets hope it stays this way
(actually i think its a bit faster).

bw thaks for all the comments they really made my day.

Funy collab betewen me and Rodrigo, I drawed the sleepy gnome and
he drew a memory portait of me, cause I told him that the gnome
was my inner sleepy self, (it was one of this 5:30 am Oc seccions)

Wow...Your ink drawings are beggining to look so fresh. Great sketchbook.

**Zebz** · December 11th, 2005, 12:35 PM

Ah, I remember those late nights with Rodrigo... he thinks everyone should stay up and OC with him just because it's day time in Austraillia. lol Fun times tho. That concept rendered up real nice, Max. Drop s'more on us soon!

**madplanet** · December 11th, 2005, 01:04 PM

What do they say? Let the style find you not the other way around. i guess that it is true and let's just say that the style has found you. keep up the good work.

**Friso** · December 11th, 2005, 01:22 PM

Hey maxetormer, these are really great.
Im glad we met at the trainstation in Praha.
You gave me so many usefull comments on my sketchbook and it almost made me feel bad that i could say so little about your work.

cheers and keep up the stellar work!

**adraude** · December 16th, 2005, 02:27 PM

wow, now that last sp of yours really kicks ass. you seem to have either gained much more control over the hatching, or spend much more time with hatching it. whatever you did, it worked, it is much much convincing and catching than your other portraits. wish you'd spend more time with the hair,... *g

**P E N Ricklund** · December 17th, 2005, 03:33 PM

Hey there you cute little Mexican. Still going strong huh? Love that SP. Yummy.

What is this I'm reading.

I dubt ill ever go back to europe

Through out rambling. Europe is calling you, we know you can't resist it.
And you know you're always welcome to Sweden

Btw, how much this little Eurotrip cost you?

Hugs!

**blacky** · December 17th, 2005, 04:04 PM

Wow, great SB, four stars from me.
