Sketchthread !!!!

ThE_BirD

Time for a new community sketch thread so I'll start...I just got back from vacation and I filled up a small drawing pad, so here's pretty much my entire Christmas sketchbook of headstudies in a single page...

Steakhouse

OMG, PEOPLE!

Nostradamus

You are the wowzer!

Jeff Parrott

Bird that is amazing, I just found my new desktop.

adam

Yah totally, this is my new desktop.

monster

Cool, the one on the bottom left is my favorite.

JBoskma

Amazing work man! rocks

mrrogers

Prs-Phil

great work, paul

well, I have enough courrage to post my scetchwork next to yours

The problem I have is with the inconsistancy of my doodels, allthough some of them are a bit older I cant seem to get an overall good basequality

jzero

Bird's gone all MarkoD on us! Yikes! Cool variety, there.
Page fulla heads, huh? Sounds like a challenge to me. Not as easy as it sounds.

Here's a couple heads I did yesterday at the museum.



Paul, are we gonna do the Sketch Group thing on Sunday?

/jzero

Spydeys

hmm some stuff of me, i dont post much here, but ahwell

NoSeRider

All from my sketchbook. Took advantage of my cruddy scanner and used the greytones that were scanned in and edited with Photoshop.

Asthane

Nice work Nose, you've improved a lot since you've come to polycount. Kinda depressing since my 2d work still sucks after all these years

gauss

just an odd little sketch. call it 'experimental' i guess and nice work nose, keep on rocking.

pior

Quickie one...



Hmmm I think I like the untouched pencil version better now ...

Gauss, I really like this last 'experiment'. Anything else of the same kind?

CheapAlert

pior: Stop.

HAMMER TIME :D

1.16.05 work sketch - 0.5 mechanical lead on printer paper - smudged with Wendy's napkin

Josh_Singh

killingpeople: makes me sad. reminds me of an alzheimer's unit my mom used to work at.

John Warner

wow.. yah.. really sad..

obviously a great job, killingpeople..

pior

Damn KP awesome shade handling you have... The highlight on the guys latex glove is soo sexy! Very good pice to learn stuff from, thanks for posting man.

This one is supposed to be waiting in the briefing room :



page shot with shadow-hairdresser

MoP

Bird, Killingpeople, Pior... really outstanding stuff. I love it. NoSeRider, those are retro-cool too... looking at those sends me back to 70's and 80's comics...

Here's some stuff I was drawing today, felt pen and fineliner in my A4 sketchbook... Most are from photo reference (I love google image search! )



and here I threw some quick PS colour onto it...

MoP

swampbug

Killingpeople.. very nice piece. Not only rendered well, but the story and feelings it has behind it. I just love the old mans expression and tounge sticking out, the fact hes a #1 dad and not a #1 grandpa was a nice touch. I think you avoided the cliche by doing that. It makes it more emotional.

steady

amazing KP, i love it.
Pior i think i see some sort of capcom/megaman influence in your dude with the big pants, cool stuff.
MoP those are some great exercise sketches keep it up.
Here's some doodles I've been doing in my boring winter semester class:
I only have my camera here and it might take a bit to load..






I wish I could color like Hung Tae Kim, must learn painter..

killingpeople

thanks swampbug, the #1 dad pin came from where my mind was primarily, great observation. people around me do not give old people the respect they truly deserve, senile or wise, they've put up with a lot of bullshit. people my age are more concerned with sex and looking like movie stars. i am no better a human, i have the same cultral appetites. it made for a good subject to ponder over while sketching.

love the sumo armor steady.

MoP, i thought the top right dude you sketched looks very similar to me these days.

pior, very sexy work. i love your style.

Cricket

I'll throw my hat into the ring to test out my avatar. She's still a WIP.

pior

Hey Mop, neat colors you have here. I guess it's rather hard to handle pastel-esque colors of this kind? I like the effect on the top-right-colored... Sweat strokes Paul

Steady, hmmm why not actually... I'm not the 'grew up with megaman' kind, but the X-series sure had a great influence back in the days. And playing the old Rockmans from the Nes time is soooo damn fuuun!

Killing, funny to hear about style ... The actual 'style' of your Oldman piece sortof 'clicked' for me, I realized that maybe I could try and use this little brand new paper smudgestick I've been having for years without making any use of it. I tried to 'render' here, it's all new for me...

Lady Marmelade :



And two bald guys... one has a '1' labelled on him, for 'KP for #1 !'



Cheers

killingpeople

cricket!? i like the lines in your sketch, they have a stylish graphic quality to them. they remind me of the lines used in some aeon flux drawings, but much tighter.

pior, awesome dude nicely done.

after helping a friend with some digital painting, i had to paint something

shotgun

pior i love that fat chick
feels real solid

here's some stuff from me
meh

pior

I'm hooked :]

This one just saw a space mermaid. Or maybe he just came back to earth and see a real girl for the first time in a while... All in one a stupid looking Spaceman :P



And another rendering test:



Shot, yeah her boobs are of the solid kind Besides that, I can't see your images, I have 6 red Xs here

Laters!

darkshadow

hmm spider, THATS SOME UGLY ASS SH*T ahahha, just j/k, no i like the expression on his face, nicely done

killingpeople

MoP

I concur

pior

Haha yeah me too, too

Boo!


(Ahhh yeah Shot, I can see them now... Real nice!)

killingpeople

awesome work prior! excellent! man it has been a while since i've sketched in ps

Artreth

Here is one I did between studying



Just a normal 2B pencil on some cheap paper.
A little Legacy of Kain fan art...

gauss

mr. toast: not only does the old guy have a boner, but death is totally staring at it. 5 stars, kill, 5 stars.

and i do also enjoy the digital sketchy sketch at the top of this page--it's hard to manage a nice composition with that many 'busy' elements but it's still very eye pleasing. nice work.

Josh_Singh

pior, How do you get that "color dodge" over your pencils? really nice effect
Killing people, You are ripping up this thread!

About a hour and a half

Shotguns have to be my favorite, killing's rock, and same with poirs

Crash

ok. this sucks compared to you guys... anyways.

poopinmymouth

Pior, Lady marmalade is so awesome. I love her beefiness.

Killing that ps sketch is very nice. I love the colors and his arm bands. 8-)

Shotgun you are crazy and you know I love it.

Cricket, great linework. 8-)

pior

Heyhey Poop, noprob, I'll get you a date with her at some point in april this year

Ghost, it's a simple gradient overlayed in PS... just in case if you were wondering whether the effect was natural media or digital

Don't know the original name of this mode tho... i'ts here on the list :



Maybe something like 'point light?'

Grads are often hideous in digital art but I find that in this case they make wonders, especially if you plan on coloring the piece further later on.

Gotta run!

killingpeople

Crash

thats awsome kill.

ultra

Hi all! Very nice work from u all.
That´s mine

ryan77

cep i love that dude, every once in awhile those links dont work for me though.

cep

I think I'll finish it, and color it, maybe.

ryan77: thanks for the heads up, I'll just use the webspace my ISP gave me instead of freeweb from now on.

Thegodzero

15 year olds shouldn't be that good.... Damn it!!

I'm going to go cry now.. little bastid!

gauss

cep: great work buddy, glad i could watch the beginning of that design

and killing, you're killing me. you're handling your painting with visibly increasing skill--the bowtie piece is really striking and well rendered. keep posting and--as my one of my professors would say--keep drawing like your hair is on fire.
