RAnDoM Pencil ISH

[Jordan85]

First post. I've been creeping on this site for too long i guess i have to post. there are way to many talented artists on here maybe it'll give me needed motivation. :yayca:

[Jordan85]

4 pieces. Images were done on a3 and scanned in a a4 scanner so there not the best quality. comments and crits welcome.

[Robolus]

I like the way you render and how you use the pencil.

[Dorkthrone]

Your rendering style is interesting.

[bluecloud]

i like the muscle structure , wolverine is badass but the pose is stiff ....

[Jordan85]

thx for the comments much appreciated.

these were done a while ago. scanner still crap.

[Jordan85]

Robots

[Rich_C]

Nice pencils on the rhino one, try some colouring

[Jordan85]

late post! watercolour study with some bridgman studies and some faces. last one is from observation.
sry for the bad quality.
crits welcome.

[heroesnvillains]

i love comic art, and your stuff looks good. keep up with poses.

[Jordan85]

here are some drawings.

[Jordan85]

no references. :lounge:

[Exon-Ion]

I like your pencil rendering, looks very interesting, keep up with the anatomy studies, they're looking good.

[Jordan85]

Exon: thanks, anatomy studies r a must do.

3 pieces. Only used refs on dinosaurs to get the form but details on triceratops face mostly made up.

[Jordan85]

another one.

must post colour :oneye:

[Night Snake]

very cool drawings man, post more if u have.

[Jordan85]

Thanks.

Loomis studies I did today. Work from graphic design module and a hulk wolverine sketch i did last night.

[Jordan85]

:ninja++:

[Jordan85]

:afroboy:

[Jordan85]

studies using pen to gain confidence hopefully. also a quick draw off last night between me and little brother on grafitti design :anime:
critique welcome

[sleepykit]

your pencil studies are BRILLIANT, and your watercolour work showed great promise! more? hehe, and i love the dinosaurs! great progress

[Jordan85]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I need to work a lot more on colour then I will post them. Theres lots more I need to do but dont have photoshop yet.
I'll post more soon though. :lounge:

[Jordan85]

the last piece i need to finish

[Jordan85]

I'v taken a different direction. Less comic more shady style. Liking it. Might do more study drawings like this.

[Janos]

Well this is what i would call a very hormonal sketchbook. Which is a compliment. Your comic characters have great energy and life in them, I wich some of this woulkd translate better to your more traditional studies.
Try to pick out some components of your comic stuff and bring it in with teh more traditional stuff.

Cheers

[Jordan85]

lol hormonal sketchbook. I see what u mean i guess :)
thanks for the crit. I'll try to make that transition hopefully.

[leanunlibro]

Interesting stuff here.Post more!

[Jordan85]

thx for comment :)
Unfinished drawing from yesterday. I kinda rushed certain parts and tend to jump from character to character when drawing. I'll finish it soon though.

any critique for improvement??

[Jordan85]

This is how far I got!. I would've finished it but got interested elsewhere.

Its all really done with the intension of studying. :ninja++:

[Jordan85]

Thanks for the comment unnamed!

Sketches.

[G_U_T_S]

You have some awesome work here, really great stuff. Your shading reminds me of David Finch's style. Hope to see more from you.

[Jordan85]

GUTS - Thx for the comment. Its funny that u say that. David Finch is a HUGE!! influence to me
I seem to understand his style more then any other comic artist and its kinda weird because I haven't
yet seen his tutorial dvd and have only read Ultimatum (unfortunately). Im guessing its
the art I've seen online and subconsciously picking it up.
I guess theres actually a lot u can learn from just looking at art.

[Blondebeard]

See above. =D

[Jordan85]

Thanks for the comments much appreciated.

These were done with magic Markers. The first one I was just testing and was done very quickly to get a feel for the colours.
enjoyed doing the second one.

[NickyBeats]

hey man, thanks for swinging by my sketchbook! i totally agree with everyone in here, your work is awesome man!! im very envious of your ability to shade like that, ive wanted to be able to since i picked up my first comic. i think it was an old wolverine issue or something. but yea, someone mentioned david finch, and i met that dude at comic con new york last year. he is the friggin man. everything that guy touches turns to gold, have you seen his acrylic paintings? i honestly think hes a waaay better painter than a penciler, id kill for this DD painting he did. i almost crapped when i saw it at his booth. haha, sorry for the rant, but i had to say. also, your style also kind of reminds me of Dale Keown a bit. i love his work too, oh and Tom Raney. god...dont get me started on comics, ill go on forever haha. anyways, your work is top notch, and in no time at all im guessing youll be furiously scribbling sketches at cons for fans of yours. keep at it man!!

[DaStreets]

Oh sh*t. Great rendering. I love the comic book style you have. The marvel characters are looking really nice. Great studies too, which brigdman book did u use? Also what pencils do u use? If u can comment me back that'd be cool. thanks. Post much more

[Jordan85]

Thx all for comments. I replied in your sketchbook.

Quick markers. Should've taken more time on this.

[zerdron]

I see venom.....and his tongue.

[Jordan85]

I thought I'd post this b4 I finish it. It's a tattoo design for brothers friend.

Also posted in the critique section.

[Jordan85]

Haven't been doing much drawing lately, feeling ill. It's impossible to draw when not feeling well. But I did do some studies.
Need to pick up and do more.

Only used refs in the first pic, on the faces and hands were drawn from my hand.

[cubesoflard]

Nice line-work man. You might have heard this before but your drawings would look really sick if you scanned them in Photoshop and leveled them out to make them pop. Can't wait to see more of your work.

[Jordan85]

Cudesoflard - Thx for your comment. Yeah I need photoshop but haven't got it yet :( so im stuck with traditional methods :)

Some robot designs!

[mike butkus]

Amazing drawings! Reminds me of the days when i first started to draw, just not as good. Again great job!

[Jordan85]

Cheers Mike! Your sketchbooks really inspiring and reminds me of where I'd kill to be :)

Studies 'n sketches.

[pauloricardo]

Hello.....

nice stuff in pencils you have here... I like this medium a lot, do you also like to ink your drawings?

give a look in my SB, and give me your opinion

see you

[Jordan85]

pauloricardo - Thanks for the comment. Im glad you like the work. Besides messin around with sketches I haven't tried inking. But i did buy a speedball crow quill pen today and hoping I'll be able to ink some pieces soon! :)

[Sublimus]

Good stuff in here so far dude!

I think you would benefit from incorporating some more studies into your routine though. Because it looks like there is a big difference in the quality of the work when you are drawing something new and when you are drawing something you have rehearsed. What I mean is it looks like you have a few shapes/poses memorized, and don't quite know how all the parts under them are working, so you are having trouble drawing them in different poses/angles.


Hope that's not too harsh, but just keep up the hard work, and you'll be sailing in no time!!

[Jordan85]

Sublimus - Thx. The harsher the critique the better, you are dead right. I'v actually never studied the whats underneath the skin before apart from the skull so most of the work is from guessing. So I'm taking your advice. Anatomy studies, figure drawings!

Doing drawings like these have caused me more trouble then you could imagine but Here's some bridgman and anatomy google studies.

[REONIN]

really good drawings and also ur rendering.

SKETCHBOOK (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=184964)

[fantasyartist]

Realy great drawings mate! I'll give you some stars and keep an eye on this sketchbook.

[equili_brium]

loving the pencils, they're great! The ink sketches look a bit stiff though, in comparison.

[Martell.Joshua]

My mind is blown. I feel like shit now. I cant draw like you at all. Im so far behind. I NEED TO KEEP STUDYING AND PRACTICING!!!

[Jordan85]

Fantasy - Thanks for the stars :)

Unnamed - Thanks a lot. WHERES YA SKETCHBOOK GONE!!?
