"ooooh popeye!"

these sketches are brilliant ...

.....

[yeticatcher]

Really nice anatomy and stylization on the human figures. Designs are looking good too.

[popeye]

fool: thanks.
Jens: thanks!and that's a mushroom, and i think u are right, i should work on my shading.
yeticatcher : i am glad that u like those designs.

perhaps it doesnt really matter if this thread is in the sketch book section or not..anyway, here are some old stuff.

[xia]

Great stuff!
Are you the same POPEYE from Sijun Speedpaint?

[Rusty]

some of those show some real promise popeye,My only advice is maybe try not to be to refined with your lines,the drawing of the gnome looking character holding the fabric is nice an loose,..
personaly i like to traceback over a roughed out drawing onto another piece of paper..

keep at it m8
Rusty

[popeye]

Xia: you are right and thanks!and it seems like this place is more appropriate to post sketch than the speedpainting thread.

Rusty:you are right and sometimes i just cant help refining those lines, which may actually ruin the freshness of the drawing.so do u use light box to trace your drawing or the other way?
btw i want to see your drawing so badly and none of your link is working for me... please post some new stuff!
:)

still some more old stuff.

this one was supposed to be a photoreal painting, which means a photocopy with acrylic, but this is a one of the most boring exercise on earth, and i didnt have the patience to finish it. honestly i dont know if i actually got anything from doing this...

[metaphysiks]

wow, some really nice stuff here. i think the first post had the strongest drawings, even though the ideas for all of the drawings are really killer. the head studies seem a little muddy and overworked but the photo realistic painting was very very well done. i agree with rusty and i really liked the drawings that had a loose energetic feel to them while showing that you payed attention to them. keep up the good work.
meta

[popeye]

metaphysiks:thanks and i admit that those head studies are pretty lame..i suck at painting.but it kinda interesting that i acutally prefer those muddy sketchy heads than the photocopy, but well..

[steak-tron]

great work man, boobs-for-eyes gave me a hearty laugh.
I like the quick head-studies paintings. They show that you have a knowledge of the few strokes needed to show head information.
I esp. like the paint of the girl with the swords, something about her expression.
Please stick around the ol' sketchbook thread.

[dakoscwash]

Oh my goodness.. Don't know how I ever missed this.. You have some of the most creative work I have ever seen. I'm absolutely in love with sketch of the guy hanging from the rock formations. Everything here is great.. I want your imagination sir.

[popeye]

darkcowash and steaktron: thanks a lot ! i will keep posting.

[AmadorL]

DUDE THIS IS A PHAT AZZ THREAD..

that photoreal life painting looks good even tho you think it wasn't worth finishing ...Have you worked with gouach i think thats how you spell it.

how long have you been at it (painting/drawing)?

-A

[popeye]

xia: u 're welcomwe!!
amadorl: not my first time. it's been a while. there are some acrylics and some gouaches.been drawing for some time, but i started painting two years ago

[JackalAnubis]

wow how did I not see this thread earlier????????? great stuff, you are very creative. great execution as well. I feel you on that photorealism thing, I think you did an amazing job on that pic, but the whole gird system is a huge crutch. you need to update more often.

but i honestly think this is a 5 star thread

[edit] poop. it wouldnt let me!

[MacJ]

Popeye, you are definately stepping it up a notch. I must say, I really wish you would do more paintings (get the damn oil paints already), and then WRITE about them. Seriously, do it now. Drawing is fun

Amazing stuff,

-j

[obid619]

This is a lot of great stuff man. Keep at it!

[popeye]

stacy: glad u like my stuff! well...forget about that star thing..it's meaningless.hehe

man your imagination is wild wow keep it up

[goodidea]

they all look just great, i hope i will be doing such good work one day:p

[elboy]

nice stuff. I especially like your gestures in certain pieces. and it doesn't seem like you're over-exerting or trying too hard in sketches (this is a good thing), you're just drawing naturally. dunno if that really made sense, but good stuff.

[Keepiru]

Popeye, your drawings are amazing. I'm really enjoying this wierd, courtly world you're creating. The jesters and that little guy with the neck ruffle are rockin, and your turtle thing is really charming. I can't wait to see more! update soon!

[popeye]

keepiru: thanks!who is the guy with the neck ruffle btw?
eboy: cheers! glad that u found gestures from drawings
2kre8 and mikecorriero:thank you!

[Matt Dixon]

Cwor! Beautiful work, Popeye.

[artkitty]

Wow wow wow! Love that demon guy. Very creepy but has that classically rendered feel.

[van]

Rock on! How did I miss this thread?!

[steak-tron]

wow. perfect job of making the hatch markes follow the contours. excellent work.

[Phuzion]

Wow, I haven't really seen that much concept stuff to come out of Art Center at this level. You're rockin' it. Really nice work man... what term are you? Anywho, keep kickin' ass. Peace

-Daniel

[xia]

Those are great!!!! Mucha is the man!!! great freaking study, u nailed them. Make me want to study after some masters too. :chug:

[popeye]

van:thanks. i was trying to imitate the way they paint them.hope i didnt screw them up..
phuzion:thanks for the compliment! this is my first term at ac.
hehe, i did most of the stuff before i came here. i wish i still have time to do that...
xia:thanks mate! i think master copy is kinda cool to do.dont know if i have learnt anything but they just make my sketch book looks cooler.hehe

[JackalAnubis]

that was awesome:electric: :bars: :electric:

[Phuzion]

I'm glad you're first term actually, we need more raw talent coming in here. The school's getting a big ego because they think they're "making" the artists, not to mention higher skill level means better classes. Killah, keep at it, can't wait to see more. Peace

-Daniel

[fukifino]

I think killing.people put it best when he said:

fuuuuuck.

:D

[MacJ]

V,

I can't believe you, you're going nuts. Did you draw those from photos? I know you didn't draw the sculptures live at the museum, I mean I haven't seen you around here in days.

Shit, holler at me!

[Ra Havok]

Hey popeye,

I enjoy looking at your sketches. Particularly the ones you do from life, like this one http://www.soildhollow.com/picture_library/mate1.jpg

Very pleasant lines.

They are wonderful, arent they. Keep it up!

[popeye]

van and jackanbius: thanks for the kind words!
phuzion:thank you and i am flattered!! by the way do u regret of choosing this school at the first place?i mean the crazy expenses and the big ego thing.
i totally agree with you on that, especially when i was painting some useless color splotches with expensive gouaches and being one of the many audiences of someone who can bullshit nonstop for a day..
mac:no i got photos from there.btw, it's time for u to start a thread as well.
fukifino: thanks!^^

Dude, this is one of the best scetchbooks I have seen in a while. What I really admire, is your ability to render the three dimensional shapes with simple strokes and shading...You really construct your figures...I also really dig the overall mood that the grainy paper creates...I'm inspired man..

Keep posting!

--------------------Gabriel

[elboy]

good stuff in here. some of it is really funny too.
sometimes the way you use lines to define planes and form reminds me of MacJ (like in the drawings of your teachers. there are better examples, but this is the most recent). Anyway, it looks like you know MacJ, so that's interesting. I'm sure it's possible that there's a professional artist you two are emulating, but since I don't know too many professional artists/illustrators I associate the style w/ MacJ since the first time I saw it was in his works.
Geez, how many times did I mention MacJ, and in someone else's thread for that matter. I really like your stuff too, popeye.

[popeye]

elboy:lol, you really got good eyes. yea i know macj and he's been the one who inspires me a lot. dont know if the style is directly from a particular artist that we like.

gaboartpage: thank you so much. I am happy that you really looked through the whole thread. and your praises are just too much.:p just kidding.
btw i have been checking out your stuff and i see great improvement from your first post to the last! keep up your good work man!

Chris J. Anderson!: thanks a lot! i am totally flattered.
btw, i like that s.mead vs c.mullins pic on your site. :) .cool painting.

[SpazMcFlash]

Dang Popeye! These are all great. The woman in the masquerade/renessance dress on this page is just beautiful. I love her mask.
I also seriously dig that demon on the last page. That first sketch of his face in 3/4 view is great. I love his refined facial features.
Also the guy flying through the hoop hair just cracks me up. Geesh... all of these rock man!
I can't wait till Adrian n I head on down south so then we can all get our sketch on! MacJ might be making the trip down with us... just keep your fingers crossed.

Keep it up!

Ok... and your beast of burden is just hilarious and beautiful at the same time. I love how he's holding up the pallette for her to paint her toe nails! hahaha
