Sketchbook Pages








































Too exhausted to write anything on here. It took me an hour this time to sign in to blogger. I don't remember my password but somehow I was able to get in. Well let me try to explain what this is. Its all stuff from my sketch book, been meaning to update sooner but I always seem to have an excuse .......my scanners not working I can't sign in , this is too big to scan, I was going to borrow a camera but eh( I'm a little bitch and a wine ER sometimes). Well anyway this is some of the sketches Ive been sneaking into my sketchbook. Trying hard to concentrate on one drawing at a time but its seems that I have add that I can't shake off or I just have to get back to work. I guess I feel like I just need to improve faster and the more I do the better Ill get, but then you can argue if you spend lots of hours one drawing and make it look good (render/shading/color) you demonstrate skills of a ninja. But overall excited about getting back on the computer which is really what I need to do and model some ideas that I have. No need to maximize any images there all just seconds of pencil sweeping, nothing ambitious all for practice and development. I'm actually a better critic , even tovu said he will pay for my words. Oh yeah lastly the elephant warrior guy is an updated version of the one I posted a while back. I did this a while back but did this on big paper along with extended turnaround of him 3/4 and back side. There's a couple of guys I have to draw on smaller paper so I can scan. Reason for drawing on the big paper was to have the freedom of adding more detail on the face and kind of feeling unrestrained from boundaries, but it takes longer to draw on too. Also been listening to the new Rx bandits CD "and the battle begun".......without a doubt best album out right now, musically and lyrically . Matt embree has to be one of the best lyricist, if you don't agree listen to the whole goddamn albulm and read the lyrics and if your still not convinced give me a band or and artist that has released something better last year or this year. At this point I don't think there is but it would be awesome of one of guys knew and doesn't matter what style or medium its delivered if its good it will stand strong. ahh excuse the grammar and spelling if you read this...

Yeah, the thingies with the claw thingies are cool, but work on your action lines. The top two are pretty good, but the other ones don't have fluid movement. You want either one swift curve or an S curve. Don't keep them straight and stiff (tee-hee!) and don't throw in too many curves (tee-hee again!).
