Rusty sketches...

[Rusty]

OK,new thread....old threads gone like a fart in the wind..
After a breif encounter with Lukias in the flesh a few weeks back(well i think it was him,i was drunk as a skunk.;P),seeing his awesome artwork,and experiencing his passion for drawing really woke me up.i really felt i wasnt pushing myself hard enough,and didnt take art that seriously..
cheers bro ;)

Just one page at the moment,more pages to come soon.
Just playing around with skin texture/folds,wrinkles in this piece.inspired by a blob like creature of Luke`s.
Enlarged 200%,HB on A4 sized paper..

[endregan]

:-O!

that is what I call skin. for someone who believes themselves to be not taking themselves seriously, your drawing shows that you are despite what you say!

greatness. :)

[thomasaurus]

thank god, I thought we lost you Rusty!

Beautiful work as always

[Lukias]

Daham! Fark meh. Dude this is the sort of thing I wouldn't think could be done unless I'd seen it. and I seen it.
I'm a little scared to think what you'll be doing down the track.
Hey it was me you met eh Jace the ace.. you better have the good whiskey out again when we meet up. heh.

Anyway, good sheeit mate!.

[R_M]

Rusty, your rendering is beutiful!
I really like the way you did the teeth on the screaming guy.

I hope this thread is going to be a real daily sketchbook!

[Ra Havok]

Snazzy sketch, Rusty.
:chug:

[Jens]

i love it how you can just learn a lot about pencil rendering by looking at your drawing..

the face on the bottom left and the scared face are fantastic and have really nice expressions. Good tot see you at it again :D

[TARGETE]

Good stuff Rusty..great rendering. I liked your old thread alot. The best way to go about improving is turn to life..and draw from it constantly and also to make sure you can replicate it as best you can in your drawing or painting..even doing a photorealistic image will teach you alot. Not that thats what you always want to do..but having the ability to draw and paint realistic is only a plus even if you spread to any style.

Did you get my private message buddy?

Your furry friend
Rusty

[S.C. Watson]

Rusty, that's some serious skill you've got there. Beautiful work.

Aint' HB's great? I do most of my pencil sketching with an HB and H combo.

I'm going to go and do some pencil sketching now. You know how it is. Monkey see, monkey do.

[Robolus]

Your ability to render with pencil is amazing. 5 stars from me, I would give you more if it would be possible. :chug:

[-The Swift-]

wow!!!!!!!! talent! this stuff is great! weird-but great! keep it up!:D

[Aidan]

O M G!!
The niveau of this section is freakin badass!
So many extremely talented artists.

Rock on!

[Jeff Gran]

To be able to draw anything I imagine, with depth, proportion, and action, is my goal. I think you have achieved it. Keep experimenting and keep us posted; your work inspires and teaches me. Thanks.

[steak-tron]

Rusty, these r incredible. but just a taste. I'm amazed at the subtletie of your tones wit just an hb. do you do the smudge thing? I've long shyed away from it cuz it used to make fun of me. The tones almost look like airbrush, but not shitty airbrush if you know what I mean. anywhays it's f'n good, i draw now, then check back on your thread.
crazy awesome dude -steak

[a_]

Your posts make us hungry for more.

If it would not be so much trouble, perhaps you could post a step by step of these drawings?

[AmadorL]

Need more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rant:

[Kress]

Hey wait a minute, I thought you said you HAVEN'T been drawing. These look like you've been practicing the whole time you b*st*rd.
So glad you started a thread up again. I don't care how stressed you are, I think you should find time to draw anyway - it'll make you all shiny and happy :)

Woohoooo!!!!! Rusty's back!!!!!!

[madphill]

good to see you back bud. I just put mine back up as well....

[obid619]

I just saw him post in Kress's book.

[el_kyrre]

Man rusty!

I think you really need to stop drawing!

c´mon... there are other thing in life to do, besides giving folks like me the feeling of being a 3 year old child with some waxy crayons, barely able to draw!

I mean... I thought i made progress, and I got to the point were I am able to do a halfway descent drawing.
And than I see your stuff, and you tell me, you did it on your 45 mins bus ride home, while its all shaky and stuff! And it still looks so much better than mine!

But i will going to be able to do just the same as you, let me tell ya!

Two thumbs up for your shtuff from ME!

el_kyrre :beer:

[Vader]

I think that your sketches are very smooth and have a really soft appearence. Post so more soon.

[a_]

We're seriously begging here. Please post some more, whatever you have.

[Rusty]

http://rhodes.design-culture.net/images/solider1.jpg

no refs used on both,photoshop.

sorry cant reply gotta get back to work,cheers Isric for hosting the pics bud.

thanks for the kind remarks people
Rusty

[lavhoes]

The mood you've established is absolutely breathtaking.

The concept piece for the solider is awesome, but I really love the battle scene. The washed-out hopelessness you present really gets across your T-dome theme.

I love it =D

[MGH]

That's a killer battle scene Rusty. Very well done!

[Atmospheria]

killer sketches...liked the t-dome stuff aswell...

waiting for your new sketches bro.

[Ra Havok]

Holy son of something something...

gah.

That battle scene is absolutely incredibly stunning. Jeez!
I'm at a loss for words, really.


:chug:

[chudzta]

Wow.. nice scene.. good colors on the right half.. If it were me I wouldve cropped a lil more off the left. a bit. but thats just my own tastes. either works. Still wonderful- keep it up - chudds

[xia]

YES! Rusty, it's been ages...we need inspiration!
Just one or two of your precious sketches...or more.

[siskol p]

is it just me, or are most of the links to the photos broken?

[treeboy]

not broken, theyre just hosted on isrics site, and atm hes exceeded his bandwidth

[foster]

gimme some sugar baby! rusty, ruuuuuusssssttttyyyyy.

[Kress]

we have to figure out a way to punish Rusty for taking such long breaks... hmmm.... any suggestions?

[Lukias]

The bastard is supposed to be coming to my house.. where upon he will receive a beat-down with a bag full of sketch pads.
After which I'll politely ask "Dude can you teach me the ways of perspective drawing?"
Then we'll get stuck into the whiskey, giggle like school girls and roll down grassy hills.

[metalwinds]

(to lukias)

YES, and while youre at it.. .MAKE HIM POST!

[Kress]

uhm, how about getting together and DRAWING..? (then posting :p )

What a novel idea. :)


Jase.. school holidays?. Dont keep in touch with those.. but sounds cool! I gave you my number eh.. if you need details just say, contact me in advance and I'll suss things out no probs!.
Collab would be mighty interesting, such different styles n'all. Your animation ways I must drain from you. My prescious.

[siskol p]

well now that i can see them, i see what everyone's gushing about. man that rough of the WW2 guy definatly falls under the category of (at the risk of being a "sexist pig") TITS AND ASS!

you're definatly in the green all across my board sir, looking foreward to the next batch.

peace

siskol

[Diego]

dude, your latest stuff is sick....
I really liked the ww1 british soldier, so rough and solid concept.:D You should add some color to it.

-D

[insane visions]
