[Idiot Apathy]

Really great referenced stuff, good accurate tonality I think.

Perhaps though, your digitals could use some more attention to edges and clean up. The bits of white that shine through really hurt them I think.

Cheers! And punch bumskee for me (not too hard though! maybe in the non-painting arm?)

[K Monsta]

great work. Curious, for the train sketches what type of pencil are you using?

[koppa]

hullo folks just a quick sketch, need to force myself to keep updating il try to get some of my new stuff up on the weekend

atlantis - ha thanks mate im glad it makes you happy

Idiot apathy - yeah your right about cleaning up, im a bit lazy to say the least i rarely finish anything (id love to hit bumskee for ya but i fear he might stab me with his wacom pen, hes done it before )

K monsta - i just use a basic mechanical pencil sometimes i use a graphite pencil for shading, hope that helps dude

anywas heres a quicky il update soon i promise (crosses fingers)

[bhanu]

Killa stuff mate,
Keep up the mindfucking work.

[Inkin]

nice portraits man...a lot of humanity in your sketces

[Breakfastburrito]

cross hatching master!!

wow.
i really like your technique in shading,
along with everything else of course!

[Listing]

I like the sketch pages and the last portrait. Some very nice work. In your cross-hatching be wary of scratchiness and general quality. You certainly have much of it but it slips.

[Matsign]

I'm probably repeating myself, but I love your sb pages man, you inspire me.

[liam.c]

oh man !!!!!!!!

[dtran]

DUUDE! you just been "RIGHT CLICK, SAVE!" "RIGHT CLICK, SAVE!" "RIGHT CLICK, SAVE!" "RIGHT CLICK, SAVE!" "RIGHT CLICK, SAVE!" "RIGHT CLICK, SAVE!" "RIGHT CLICK, SAVE!" I love your speed paintings.

hey i've had a few messages asking how i work with pencil are you guys interested in me posting a step by step or something?



have a good un

[bhanu]

Nice work mate,
the way you mix hatching and shading is cool. REally likin it.
A step by step update, bring it on partner. Its always interesting to see how other artists go about their art.
Take care.

[koppa]

ok il post a step by step hopefully before the weeks out (hopefully)

[marc_taro]

Hey man - sorry I didn't make the time to check in before - this is a great thread! looks like we're doing some of the same stuff - working life, from ref, trying to get a good likeness going? - nice layered,textured feeling on a lot of this work....

[koppa]

yeah true marc, best way to learn i reckon, so much better studying a real person than a photo.
need to get off my ass and do it more hehe
thanks for the kind words too dude

[liquidjack]

Dig the style alot. I'm not sure if you posted this q&a, but how long does it take you to do one of these sketchpad pages approx.?

[koppa]

hey liquidjack the last few usually take bout 20 - 30 mins i think, somethin like that

[koppa]

howdee heres a quickee



have a good weekend folks

[SprayNation]
