How about yes!?

“Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don’t know whether you’re in a trough until you’re climbing out, or on a peak until you’re coming down. And that’s it you know, you never know what’s round the corner. But it’s all good. ‘If you want the rainbow, you’ve gotta put up with the rain.’ Do you know which philosopher said that?... Dolly Parton... And people say she’s just a big pair of tits.”

just found an old sketchbook....

funny...I'd completely forgotten about this one. it's the sketchbook before the one that I'm just about to finish, i must have got through this sketchbook really fast. i think it's better than the one I'm finishing up at the moment. I'm not posting many of the sketches, just the ones that i like. I'm looking at them know, and I'm thinking if this is the best pick of an entire sketch book...I've got a lot of work to do!



comments most welcome, critiques please! don't feel shy :)

A promise is a promise

Coming to the end of my latest sketch book, but there's not much that i'm pleased with. fingers crossed that the next one's gonna be a banger

in order of top to bottom, left to right
-dude on a bus
-lydia working hard on them essays, go lyd!
-man on a deck chair in green park (i sat on one as well until i was asked to pay £1.50)
-BUSTED! dude caught me drawing him on the train, good job i didn't draw his facial features first. i drew in his expression after from memory.

THE RING

After looking at these drawing and seeing the rings in them, within 7 days you'll have probably forgotten all about them, because they're not to good.

Yeah so the model had this plastic ring that she was holding (whoop-de-do). Also in this session we were instructed to try out single line drawings with both are right and left hands. There is also some 1 and 2 minute warm ups as well. urrr...feedback is welcome...sorry for not posting last week...etcetera, etcetera

Don’t know why but I’m going to leave you with a rather inspiring quote by truly great thinker, a man of true wisdom, a great philosopher, a real intellect.

"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than 12 hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady who's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick with that, everything else is cream cheese."

I really don't know

urm... i've not got a whole lot to say about this. i did this for practise...well after i did that data colour i thought i needed it. i'd appreciate some feed back, and for those of you out there in the blogging world who art master colourist, i would love some tips.





before anyone asks i didn't do the street fighter part :)

Data

Inspired by and pretty much told by Kristian Antonelli, I decided to draw Data from the Goonies.

I really like the way Kristian is colouring short round at the moment, so being the original guy that i am, I’ve copied him hahahaha, poorly, hahaha :)

Pointers please?!

life drawing again.

This was the life drawing that i did 2 weeks ago. In the session we were advised to try and do a drawing with your left hand. Or if you were left handed do one with your right. The idea being, that the drawing won’t have your normal level of control to it. The results I found were interesting. i found that without the normal control level, my drawing seem loose and i think had more energy to it.





i thought great! Try to not use so much control with your right hand, and use the control for the details and I’ve found i new way of drawing. Wrong! as soon as i got that power back with my other hand, I completely forgot about that idea.

In fact the drawing I did after looks especially stiff and over worked i think.



It would be great to get some feedback on this session, so i can apply it to my life drawing this week.

Thanks
