**hurricane** · December 18th, 2006, 07:12 PM

very nice stuff!
can't really give critique at the moment because i'm very tired.

but i'll give you a small one...add a shadow where the characters touch ground, it will give them more weight in the world.

cheers

**Magic Man** · December 18th, 2006, 07:12 PM

Awesome stuff mate, I'm sure you can be an artist till the day you die if you wish

**Deverion** · December 18th, 2006, 07:15 PM

Wow.....this is really beautiful inspiring stuff. Your life drawings are fantastic. Great Job

**Aphex™** · December 18th, 2006, 07:18 PM

Stunning work, thanks.

**openanewworld** · December 18th, 2006, 07:21 PM

bumskee, teach me coloring and costume design yeap I own you 45

dragon4lunch, you have good point I try to make it doesn't look like a cross actually, and she is not masturbating, she is using it to hide her organ a bit haha, but I will keep your word in mind

hurricane, thanks man yeap I will put shadown more on my sketches

Magic Man, yeap I try to be a starving poor artist

Deverion and Aphex, thanks

these are really cool man, watch out for min he bites man

**NicoRaven** · December 18th, 2006, 08:59 PM

As an observer I'm a fan as an artist I hate your freaking guts.....sorry about that but your so so so good. I want to draw like that.

**bunny** · December 24th, 2006, 03:11 AM

Oh man.
Your stuff is so amazing.
hmm...
I can only suggest that maybe do some portraitn studies? In your life studies, you seem to give people a sort of "anime" face, though that may be a style thing - even if it is, it's fun to break your usual 'syle' every now and then - then again, it may be deliberate, I don't know. Also, you can try drawing some ugly chicks

that is all. keep it up man!

**scorge** · December 24th, 2006, 03:43 AM

This is definitely one of the best examples of character studies I've seen in a while. Great work. Great life. Keep it up.

**TheGnoll** · December 24th, 2006, 06:55 AM

damn, all this is excellent work imho,
keep sharing

(5 stars from me)

ciao

**Stark** · January 5th, 2007, 02:37 AM

I feel bad for not discovering this SB sooner. Accept my humble apologies. This stuff if insane! Your life studies are too fluid to come from a human..you must be like...alien or something! :p I love them way too much, so I downloaded some of them to my infinitely growing inspiration folder to keep me sketching until I become better. My birthday was on the 17th and I thank you for the sick sketches you put up on that day. Thanks for the very belated birthday present!

I'll just echo what Hurricane mentioned and add more shadows to the figures. Also, do you have more sketches from the "before I started to kick Saikin's ass" phase? That would make my day to see how you've developed.

KUDOS!

**urusla** · January 5th, 2007, 05:08 AM

OMFG

What a amazing, brilliant and excellent work!!!!
My first post is dedicated to you

BTW,
我也是香港人啊
怎麼我讀中,小學時都沒有 art course 的呢??(哈哈)
想不到會在這裡碰到來自香港的高手
失敬失敬

- Oil painting, get A4 carboards, gesso, titanium white, lamp black and a flat nr 10 hog brush. Now go paint.

Replace A4 cardboard with an even wall, I'm sure you have one in your room which you can keep repainting. Make sure the room has a window so the fumes don't fill the room with bad air.

Just clean the wall with a brush and get a cheap huge can of housepaint. Cost 6 euro instead of gesso.
Tube 200 Ml Of titanium White: 8 euro
Tube 200 Ml Of lamp black : 8 euro
Flat nr 10 hog brush : 1 euro.
Bottle of cheap cooking oil : 1,5 euro.
Bar of Soap for cleaning brush: 1 euro
Canister of spirits : 2-3 euro.

Total: 28,5

These are inflated prices, I'm sure you can find even cheaper versions.

For example, I bought a tube of second rate 200 ml titanium white for 4 euro, same for lamp black. Horrible quality in the long run, but that doesn't matter, it's just to help you study and try something new.

The canister of spirits is also for people who want it easier and just rinse out their brush after every use, you can just go and wash your brush out with soap after every use, since there are no colours there is 0 chance of your colours becomming muddy. Just work thin enough.

Even the brushes used for water painting are usable in oil painting, about 1/3th of my brushes are supposedly used for water paintings, but they work just as good.

And since it's studies, you can work on one oil painting for a month instead of having to instantly finish like you would with water paintings.

Enjoy.

**Sketch** · January 6th, 2007, 12:26 PM

Holy shit! I don't normally like anime style(if you can call this stuff that) but your work is crazy good. Love all your sketches and your line work on the finished stuff is amazing. There's something about your animal life drawing that I really like as well.

**Sebastian Agresti** · January 6th, 2007, 12:47 PM

Great stuff man, how long have you been doing this?

**Miro** · January 6th, 2007, 04:31 PM

wow your linework is so fine
your linework simply rocks!
and your women's faces are simply adorable
if i were a comicbook hero, i'd know who i'd pick to draw me a girlfriend

your sense of detail is sick (in a good way that is)
keep up the good work!

cheers

**Coen** · January 6th, 2007, 04:45 PM

Hey openanewworld I know the - not being able to share art - problem man, fortunately we got this forum.

I really like your drawings, especially the figure drawings from life, they look so real. I wonder how you start these, seems like you start with a real loose gesture right?

Anyway keep going!

**designboot** · January 7th, 2007, 03:29 PM

i hope you used reference!

MORE!

**Puck** · January 7th, 2007, 05:04 PM

You've got a great structural form in your anatomy studies, just with your linework without shading, they really look like 3 dimensional shapes rather than just flat images.

Inspiring stuff - looking forward to seeing more figures.

**retmia** · January 7th, 2007, 05:14 PM

Absolutely everything perfectly fits in your work, I mean, that's so great. I'd like to see some professional work you've done.

no it isn't. you're just a moron.
i mean seriously, she's masturbating with a torture/murder device.
i never understood how christians could worship torture and murder. THATS disrespectful to RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. keep in mind that christianity isn't the only religion out there... and most dont worship a cross.

**Envisor** · January 7th, 2007, 05:47 PM

Great figures, keep posting more.

My Sketchbook- C&C very welcome
