[Call0ps]

love them all!! your style is real nice. plz keep sharing

[Noë]

MAN I love your pencils (with charcoal?).. Sell me your sketchbook once it's finished? ^^ nah I'm sure you wouldn't do that. Not for a price I would be able to pay anyway
Ehh enough asspatting.. One thing I noticed was that the eyes of your faces are often a bit out of proportion, or not on the same line. Watch that a lot.. The rest is ehh perfect, maybe also try to vary the subjects you draw, draw some machinery maybe.. Dunno, it seems like you vary quite a lot already.

Love
Marleen

Call0ps - thanks mate, i appreciate the kind words

Noë - hey thanks a lot, nah they just pencil no charcoal, yeah im not too fussed with proportions in my sketchbook its just for fun i gotta be all exact and crap at work all day...bleh
haha dunno if i would sell this book, only sketchbook so far ive kinda liked

had a life drawing session last night at a club where the models are burlesque dancers hers some sketches from that

[Noë]

Ah didn't know it's your work also ^^
Nice update, I like the bird lots.
Just ehh what do you do to get those really dark greys and blacks, if you only use pencil? d'you just put the contrast a whole bit higher or do you use like 10b pencils ?

Love
Marleen

[koppa]

Noë - hey mate thanks again, um the heaviest pencil il use is a 6 or 8b, i think using the graphite sticks instead of pencils helps because i use them to blend in large area while a pencil has a narrow tip so heavy blacks can be hard to make look right - does that help?

nother one

[Call0ps]

another great sketch koppa! how many variety of graphite do u use in your sketchs ? her eye is a bit deslocated i think. anyway keep the good damn job !

[steak-tron]

wow great pages Koppa. Twas a pleasure ta' look through them .

[Justin.]

Shit... how have I missed this sketchbook?

These are some incredible drawings. I don't know how you manage to render the planes so nice like that- it is irregular, but extremley form defining... frickin awesome!

[koppa]

Call0ps - hey thanks matey, um i just use a mechanical penicl and a 6b or 8b graphite stick whichever i can find in my messy bag

steak-tron - hey thanks a lot buddy your stuffs wicked

Justin Oaksford - cheers justin

i met up with this yahoo called lukias and we went and did some sketching at the national gallery, then we did this weird thing in he park where 2 lukes sat there and drew pictures of lukes drawing lukes erm then we got pretty drunk later on erm well yeah...
