The Rug Rly Tied the Room Toghether...

[Arrowhead]

This is my 1st thread Ive put up, Wheew!
Alright so I wanted to post what I've been messing around with lately.
Ive been working on an online class for using painter as well so I will be posting up a bunch of work that I did for that.
Your comments are very much appreciated.
Thanks

[Arrowhead]

the class starts with a bunch of eyes soo...

[Arrowhead]

Heres a mouth I just finished, mainly focused on the teeth.

Also, I havent ever done a self portrait before, so I figured it is time.
Im still working on figuring out how to paint with my wacom, so bear with me.
Any crits or comments as always are graciously appreciated.

[Sinto]

like the color studies dude! I'd like to see anatomy studies ;)

[satori]

its interesting to see how authentic a painting/drawing becomes, if you get the eyes right. in #2 the 3 sketch, theres a totaly unfinished piece, but it alredy has some life because of the eyes.
I think I just decided to do some more studies on eyes =)
post more, this is interesting

[Arrowhead]

Sinto - Hey thanks man, ya know I was just thinking about doing a few figure studies here pretty soon. Should have some stuff up in a few days on that.

Satori - I totally agree, the eyes seem to make or break alot of things and are a ton of fun to paint.



Shall be posting more in the next few days when I can, have a friend coming into town and works a bit busy so keep checking back.
Thanks again for the comments and keep em comin!

I love the shark!

God your eyes and the mouth scare me, but they are really captivating. There's so much depth. I suck at that. :[

More please!

[Thunderrobot]

I love the vector illustration of John Goodman. :)

[Arrowhead]

Hey thanks-
I have only done a few of those so it was just a quick drawing but it was a ton of fun.
Shomer Shobbas!

[Thunderrobot]

LOL there are too many funny lines from that movie...

is this your homework?

[Harry_]

AW! cheers mate, thats a really good idea, ill defineately have to try that, thanks for the pointers

[Retronym]

The mouth is a bit shallow, think about the teeth as following a half circle curve.

[amordecosmos]

Thanks for commenting in my sketchbook! And thats a really good idea about incorporating that type of drawing into faces or skulls, I might try that! You got some cute little drawings in here.

[Arrowhead]

Retronym - You know I totally agree, It should have some darker darks, I'm not sure if im going to re visit that one though... Think ill just do another and keep this in mind. Hmmm

amordecosmos - thanks!

This was just me being bored, and figured id do a sketch of a girl, seeing as how i find Im typically pretty awful at getting them right.

[The7Artist7]

Nice stuff - and yeah - lovin the eyes! Post more!!

[Nibras]

OMG cooolest sb ever. I just feel excited going through it. Very imagenative and creative loving all the little people/creatures they loook so cool.

[Arrowhead]

lilnebo- Wow! Coolest sketchbook ever is quite a compliment... Haha Thanks a bunch!!

I've done a few more quick sketches, ill post that up once I get home, so keep checking back.

-update-
heres a quick sketch of Lennon I did from a photo I have.

[Muzz 2k7]

I love the eye's, Look almost like they're going to blink at me :)

Anyway thanks for the advice, Ill seriously take a shot at the egg studies. Maybe even get back to you about them.

[sageguy]

Hey thanks for the note. I think it's interesting that you used those colors for your backgrounds. I would love to see you continue to work on that Apr. 1st profile picture. It looks really good. And of course the eyes look good. KEEP GOING! I like it.

[anticasper]

HI! your avator and pict With the person in glasses and with a beard is wonderful! I love this style man! I would like more +)

[Thunderrobot]

cool Lennon, what program do you do your digital work in?

[dCepT]

Yo! Got some cool stuff in here! Diggin' on a couple of those pencil characters! You'd benefit from some anatomy studies (yes, the never ending anatomy crit :P Workin' on it myself though... hehe)... Even with your imaginary characters/creatures, it's good to have a strong mental library of anatomy..

The Walter-piece is tight! Is that illustrator or somesuch?

dC

[Dorkthrone]

More, please. Like dCepT said, some anatomy studies can go a long way. Nice work, though. Kudos for the Big Lebowski quote.

[Arrowhead]

Just a bit of Logo Design I have been playing with, any ideas?
My name is Josh Strey, so I figured id just roll with the 2 initials..

[cout<mecha]

Nice work in here! I also like your 3D architecture stuff but the 2D stuff needs more emotion. Post more please!
