Hello. I am trying to get better at drawing by keeping a sketchbook, so I figured I may as well share them with you guys so you can help me also. Anyway, any comments or critiques more than welcome. Be harsh:D
Anyway Here ya go, will have some more tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Some random sketches

My pitiful attempt at coloring something. Used a mouse and Photoshop. Don't really do much coloring so I gave it a shot. I have 2 tablets but they won't work for some reason:(

Thanks in advance.

some really cool designs there. I like the rock creature thing and the floating city.(i think thats it)

Your shading is a credit to your drawing i think people will agree.

anyway post some for more crit

[Robolus]

Really varried and very cool! I want more - keep posting!

[NHansen]

Thanks, I'm really glad you guys like them!
Here are two more pages:

This one was made from a picture. It's a stencil that I plan on spray painting on something, but for right now I just traced the stencil with some inks.

Thanks again!

hehe, after reading the little sign on the sketch that says "I hate drawing feet" I noticed that you hardly have any feet in your drawings! I think that should be the next challenge to yourself... force yourself to draw more feet! :D

I really love the style of your drawings.. you've even managed to make boring everyday objects come to life! (like a bar code, or the binders on a sketchbook) Great work!

[Blind]

Frazetta left out feet a lot too.

[NHansen]

Well here's another page o' sketches. I hope you like them.

Yes, keep them coming. I like your clean, confident style. The floating cities were great. I, too, hate drawing feet- sometimes the lower part of the body altogether.

[Nimrod]

Looks great! you have a smoooooth shading technique to go with good value sense. I would say draw more people from life, and get some anatomy basics down, it will make your very animated style much better looking.

Just a little comic I made when I was bored today :P

[Main Loop]

lol.. frazetta could draw feet though.. im sure he didnt mind them.. These are pretty cool.. only thing is, id avoid using a lot of graphite in a sketchbook like that.. tends to smudge a lot and rub off.. plus you can never get as dark as you like..

markers are fun!

[Noah Bradley]

Woah, you're awesome. :) All of these pieces are just great, your style is magnificent. Simply put: you rawk. :P Any chance you'll write some tutorials? :)

[Ra Havok]

I'm fond of that last sketchpage you posted.

And the little one-pager with the robot and the baby, of course.


You clearly have a healthy dose of fantasy! One of the artist's essentials.



Looking forward to more!

[NHansen]

Hey, just finished (and started) this page today at school, it was a long day. I had fun doing these though.

Sorry for the scene on the left being sideways, I'll make it a new image the right way if you guys want.

More markers. Any suggestions?

[Famboozled]

You have such a wide range of different styles... it makes your work so interesting, i think this is something really strong about your work... please keep posting

Quick question how do you make your sketches look like theyre pencil, after scanning my sketches they alwayz look like they were done in pen

[nickbachman]

i love you. i'm going to go buy some markers now.

[chudzta]

Nothing too great, I stopped drawing for a while and I had to get back into the swing of things. The next page of my sketchbook is almost filled as well, so that will be up soon. Anyway, thanks for looking.

[NHansen]

and page 12. The red colored pencils scanned really weird. It looks a lot better on paper, trust me.

[Valcon Jet]

wow this is amazing stuff! I love it :) and I think you should take the "Why can't you fly?" "Why can't you walk?" guys and make that into something bigger ... I really like the feel of it.

peace-val

[NHansen]

latest page in the sketchbook. This is the third page in the last three days. Anyways, here it is:

Thanks for looking. Peace.

[NHansen]

I just finished this nice 19"x24" version of The Chase. I think it came out pretty good, I spent like 4-5 hours on it, I wish I had a picture of it though..

[NHansen]

Well, I've been feeling like crap but I have another page anyway. here it is..

http://www.subver.com/sketchbook/page14.jpg

Thanks for looking.

[Neireth]

I've got to buy some markers now... Wow, awesome sketches. I love 'em.

[hoopa]

these r great. Very clean.

[GirafeEnFeu]

I always look forward to seeing your new stuff! I just love it! :love:

[Jeff Jaws]

I must have missed out this thread somehow. Fortunately I found it now.
You have a fresh and lovely style going! My absolute fav. is the "mindless drones" piece.
I'll have an eye on your thread, dude. Just keep 'em coming.

Jj.

[NHansen]

New page. I really like how the bottom one came out. I've been thinking of this comic that I decided I was going to try to make. He's going to be the character. Lars. Oh yeah. It's gonna be weird. Anyways, thanks for looking.

[Sinix]

Yea, this has got to be one of my favorite sketchbooks... although I find it almost freakish how neat and straightforward you keep your actual sketchbook pages.

[DavidCousens]

I know I keep saying this, but I love the unique style of your work. The layouts of your pages are really interesting too!

Great stuff!:cool:
