MrBobMarley sketches...................portraits...4-20

**MrBobMarley** · July 1st, 2006, 02:15 AM

So I lost all the pics from my old sb thread. Thought I'd try a fresh book. I was thinking about the sirens from the greek stories and mermaids today. Don't know what it'll look like tomorrow, just kinda going with it so far

**MrBobMarley** · July 1st, 2006, 01:30 PM

Little progress this morning. *edit* Changed it again, got rid of the crazy eyebrow, got a ways to go.

**dCepT** · July 1st, 2006, 01:40 PM

Looks good so far! Nothing very intelligent to say... just wanted to return the favour after you dropped by my SB

**MrBobMarley** · July 1st, 2006, 04:28 PM

Thanks dCepT, I hope to finish it soon.

Working on a bunch of new sketches and work, planning to dump them at once. But for the sake of something to look at, here's some of the not too embarassing stuff from my last sb. Putting these in here will also remind me of my faults and why I need to keep trying.

**DerMidlet** · July 1st, 2006, 05:31 PM

Really like those pastel pieces man, good stuff

**dannE-B** · July 1st, 2006, 05:38 PM

looking very nice, i really like that piece done on black paper...whats that done with? pastel or Pencil crayon? anyways good work.

**MrBobMarley** · July 1st, 2006, 06:23 PM

Thanks for looking fellas. Those aren't pastels, they're prismacolor pencils, my favorite medium. The bottom 3 in my last post are prisma pencils, the last two drawn on black matboard. I want to get in the habit of posting an image everytime I post, nobody wants to just see text. Couple old ones.

**DerMidlet** · July 1st, 2006, 10:28 PM

oh, cool well I like em even more then, I could never get the hang of colored pencils

**MrBobMarley** · July 2nd, 2006, 11:24 AM

A lot of people aren't used to it, kind of like me and painting

Some new sketches. Trying to wean myself of the hairy line work that's plagued me forever. Also, skimmed the best of CA forum for a while today. Made me realize all I draw is oversized, musclebound characters(look below) when not working from reference. I hope to remove that block over the course of this book.

**dCepT** · July 3rd, 2006, 06:15 AM

Nice studies, man! The prismacolors are looking particularliy tasty!

高手啊,风格也不错，不过英文不太好，不能用英语来回复你了，见谅啊。

**wookiedabo** · July 3rd, 2006, 08:30 AM

heh, the coloured stuff and all the women are beautiful dude, lookin great on that front. you seem to be in mucyh the same rut as me when it comes to drawin blokes. they look good, but bulky. ive kinda been recently drawin just standing poses and simple gestures using the clothes as a focus for the form, rather than the anatomy of the figure itself. that seems to be workin for me, in that i tend now not to draw such heavily muscled characters. just my take tho. all in all lookin good.

**Magic Man** · July 4th, 2006, 08:55 AM

I applaud you for stepping outside your comfort zone so publicly, its a difficult thing to do, but if you keep to your word, stepping out of your comfort zone will pay bi dividends later on down the track.

btw, thanks for the comment in my sb, much appreciated.

**Jackwhat** · July 4th, 2006, 12:32 PM

Harr, you draw pretty ladies! Im liking your style quiet a bit, i dont mind a bit of beef, im not quiet sure about something with your recent quick sketches, maybe theyre a bit stumpy? Or their heads are too big in comparison, not quiet sure what it is.

Knowing my poor judgement of proportion im probably talking complete shit but nevermind. Give more updates! Do a female streetfighter character

that way I get the best of both worlds!

**Wolfbane** · July 4th, 2006, 12:48 PM

wow, looking really good here, mr.Bob Marley! Such good understanding of colors and values!!!
i can see that you love ladies, and they are all looking really good,
but personaly i think you should focus even MORE on male studies, since they arent really on the same level.

**MrBobMarley** · July 5th, 2006, 12:19 AM

dCepT - that's a new one on me....tasty hehe. Thanks

Magic Man - advice from dudes light years ahead of me is always welcome. I fully intend to improve.

Jackwhat, WolfBane, wookiedabo - check your sketchbooks fellas. I probably will throw a Cammy in my sketch time tomorrow.Thanks for your crits

This is my thing for the COW, a leviathan. I'm way too tired to write the story for it now, but here's where it's at now.

**Stark** · July 5th, 2006, 12:31 AM

Uh....yes? Please?

**Listing** · July 5th, 2006, 01:47 AM

your portraiture is quite nice and strikes me as excelling your figures. Really nice overall. I recommend more color work. Good.

**Fishspawn** · July 5th, 2006, 02:07 AM

Wow. I like it.

**MrBobMarley** · July 5th, 2006, 03:42 PM

Saikin - Uh....yes? Please?

....sorry you lost me
Listing -thanks dude, I'm pushing for more

Fishspawn - thanks dude

Decided on Chun li instead. Tried not to go too big on the eyes. She's got a kind of "who me?!" kinda look

**Stark** · July 5th, 2006, 06:53 PM

My post was just randomness...

Nice Chun Li...what about a...uh...I dunno, Cristie from Tekken? or perhaps an even more sexified Milla Jovovich (is that even possible?)

**bradley** · July 10th, 2006, 03:02 PM

hey man, returning the favour for commenting in my book and glad you did otherwise i wouldnt of discovered this gem of a sketchbook. Your women are way hotter than your men but maybe im biased. That Chun Li stands out.

**Infinit** · July 10th, 2006, 05:37 PM

great girly pics
I like your sketch style (the one in the chun-li pic)
If you want to get rid of all the muscle packed guys in your drawing
try to draw extreme thin or fat people, it helps trust me

**darkchild** · July 10th, 2006, 05:47 PM

Love your line work. Great work on the ladies. My favorite has got to be the girl playing pool...awesome.

**ganaa** · July 19th, 2006, 10:16 PM

INCREDIBLE... I really really like all of your sketch. All this prismacolors are looks so FANTASY................. AMAZING. I looking forward more & more stuff.

**Mag-Neo** · July 22nd, 2006, 04:47 AM

-... nice sketchbook man, i like it all too much. All of your prismacolors are looks very interesting, & so tasty... ALL THE BEST... GOODLUCK...

**wahabs art** · July 22nd, 2006, 06:47 AM

ur work is gtreat i luv it how old r u ?

**MrBobMarley** · July 22nd, 2006, 08:42 PM

Thanks for stopping by and commenting guys

I'll visit your sb's soon if I haven't already. And I'm 4 years from 2 bakers' dozens old.

Here's some new ones. From the mind, except for the last one and the hair on the little face where there should be a eyeball on the big face.

**Stark** · July 22nd, 2006, 08:44 PM

Love the last batch! The women are good. Maybe vary the style of eyebrows?

**SprayNation** · July 22nd, 2006, 10:19 PM

Hey, nice updates! Your chicks are rockin'! I always make females look to masculine, which ultimately makes me question my sexuality *sigh*, but yours are dope. Huge fan of the Chun-Li. Small crit, she's swayin' a little. That cow is pretty tight too! You should make a small island that he's standing on, cause the waters a little shallow there

. Thanks for the crit-swap bra'!
