[Cocofuppa]

I cant b arsed with the previous sketchbook no more, so i am starting a new one :D, and there will be no elves, dwarves, goblins or any other pish related to fantasy RPGS :P To start it off, i thought i wuld post the one of the last things i did on the last SB. PURE KWALITY LIKE :P

[bhuddistmonk]

this is cool, dude. Is the front tire we can see supposed to be flat? i like how the car is plaid. Mabye you should add more shadows and highlights? good work.

[Cocofuppa]

The tire is simply not drawn correctly, and probably wont ever be :P Im workin on an A2 sp atm so ill get a few shots of that soon instead.

[Cocofuppa]

Just an experiment, no ref or anything, just tryin to remember the colour of the night when i was going home the other day. It was a pish 7 o clock busy up town scene.

[-The Swift-]

sorry, yeah cool colours, and the mini rules!:)

[Cocofuppa]

Started work on another SP, working A2 atm, just done some rough pencil work and shadows. Goin for a moody kind of portrait this time. Final painting wont be b/w, i just aint chose the colours yet :P Oh yeh and soz for blur(shadky hand).
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/DSC00213.JPG

[Cocofuppa]

[Cocofuppa]

[Cocofuppa]

Not been able to post much lately, too busy with college shite, but anyway heres a piece for college ive just started to develop. Anyone familiar with Rezerection will know what Its all about, and the rest of you(most likely all :P) can work it out :D
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/rezerection1.jpg

[Jeff Jaws]

lol. last one's great, still I like the mini a lot, as its acutally one of my favourite cars! good job, keep it up!

Jj.

[Cocofuppa]

Cheers JJ, and heres an old illustration from the start of my course, it was a black n white pen drawing, but i just though id see what it looked like in colour. Also wanted to test out takin pics of work, which didnt turn out well cos i need daylight and a tripod :P
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/A-Team.jpg
Oh btw, the illustration was to show "how i was late for college one morning" :P

[Cocofuppa]

Got an illustration thing ere for show from the botanic gardens I did, dunno wot u make of it, but ere u go :D
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Botanic.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Im not gonna b able to finish this drawing tonight, but i thought id post it anyway, and i mite post the finished one if anyone cares :P
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Uma.jpg
Its all from a photo-ref, but the important thing im tryin to do is train myself to have a good eye for detail and get the likeness as good as poss, also an exercise in pencils(i dont do enuff :()

[Cocofuppa]

Fook it, ill post the finished one anyway :P
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Uma%20Thurman%20Portrait.jpg

[bhuddistmonk]

hey dude, your stuff is really improving. your b/w stuff is AWSOME, but you need to work on your color some....your form is really good, and the black van is THE SHIT, reminds of those monty python cartoons :) That portait of uma thurman is really good, shes a hottie. i like the stylized hair, but an issue i see is her righ *our left* eye. the lid needs to be just a tad higher so she doesnt look like she has a lazy eye. Celeb portraits are hard because everyone knows if its wrong. Very nice, youve got a shitload of talent and your going in the right direction. great work!


p.s. - with that boxer pic i wouldnt have noticed any problems with it if it hadnt been for your little side note, the finished guy getting hit is very good. the anatomy is spot-on

[Cocofuppa]

cheers bud, i noticed the thing with umas eye after i finished it, but i may go bk and fix it in Photoshop or summit :P

[Cocofuppa]

On the same theme of kill bill(college stuff), I had to do another drawing of uma. Yes its from a photo, and i dont giv a fook if u think its cheating, so this is a big fo to all those ppl who think that using photo ref is evil. Its a learning curve and I gotta start sumwhere. It saves time and thats all i care about atm soo.. :P
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Uma2%20copy.jpg
I will shut up now lol :D

[bhuddistmonk]

nice form and fabric wrinkles, and remember there is no such thing as cheating in art, because there are NO RULES!

[Cocofuppa]

Managed to nick a few pieces bk from college today. 2 self portraits (both A2), and done in thickass-straight-from-tube mofo-acrylics :D And an update on that ad i was doing. I wuldnt mind sum comments on the ad, cos its quite an important thing im doing atm.

http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/rezerection2.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Gonna b doing another few Uma sketches for college. This one is like 15% done, and is very light atm as its done in 2H pencil. From a photo obviously, but im wanting to show my ability to draw here, not my anatomical knowledge.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/uma%20hat2.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

And here it is. Scanned a bit wierd etc etc, but it looks much better in real life.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Uma%20Hat3.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

So i was like, hey i think ill post 2 more things.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/kbill%20sketch.jpg
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Loose%20Sketch.jpg
I reeeeeeally need to loosen up. Ive been drawin tight like that pencil drawing of the old guy for as long as i can remember, which is my weakest aspect atm.
The plant one took around 1min with a B pencil, just swishin away with the lines :P

[Cocofuppa]

And so i was like yeh, im gonna experiment in PS a bit more...
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Kwality%20Soldier.jpg
So i did.

[Cocofuppa]

ANDDD then i was like, maybe 1 more fuckin thing for tonight. Can you feeel the ANGERRRRRRRRR?
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Angry%20Face.jpg
RARRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Jamaludin]

wow your pencils rock dude, you got something going on :D

[Cocofuppa]

Figured i gotta get experimenting a bit to loosen my drawing up, and i think this attempt was successful(ish). Drawn, and then scanned in for colouring.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Pony%20Walkman.jpg
And it involved ZERO paint brushes at all :P

[Cocofuppa]

Yeh umm, who said analytical drawing had to be boring?
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Stapler.jpg
Mwahahahaha eat staples!

[bhuddistmonk]

dude, this shit is cool. your really improving. keep drawing or ill kick your ass. lol

[Cocofuppa]

Did another quick ink drawing like the previous post. Best thing about em is that they take like 2 mins to do :)
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Keys.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Just messin, tried to create a splattered, spontaneous lookin image. Kinda inspired by that guy who does those cool MGS drawings.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Orange%20Spray%20P%20Face.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Aye so eh, i uhh drew another pic eh! Ken wot a mean like Jimmy?

[Cocofuppa]

http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Charity%20Illy%201.jpg
Any comments would b fookin useful :P Dont b shy now u bunch of pussies! lol :D

[Cocofuppa]

Fuck knows what im drawin here, just fookin around.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Wierd%20Potatoe.jpg

[mr.right]

Dude, your creativity and style are off the wall. I bet you don't even WALK in straight lines. Do you have any process work? Or do you just spit out what's in your head and work it till it's magic? I was just curious because I really liked where you took the walkman and showed it before colors. It reminded me a lot of Paul Pope's work (the only true American manga artist).

Crap, now I feel like I have to back that statement up. It's a little on the longish side, but if you look him up and want to know what I think, just ask.

Later Days

[Cocofuppa]

Cheers for the comments mr.right. I tend to just draw whatever im feelin at the time, just scribble onto the paper as a form of expression rather than trying to draw a good picture. I dont really have any 1 process, but for those walkman drawings, i dipped string into indian ink, and tried to draw the walkman from life. I then scanned the line work in, make a duplicate layer of it(set mode to multiply) and then paint any colours in between those 2 layers.

And oh yeh, that paul pope dude has a nice style goin on, very bright colours, like pure magenta/clashing colours with the loose linework etc, so i kinda see where u got it from.

pff :P need beer.. after writing this!

[Cocofuppa]

Dont mean to post twice in 1 day, but i just found out a fuckin real bizarre technique! Anyone care to tell me how i did it, or am i the first? WEEEEEEEEE :D
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/i%20just%20found%20this%20out!%20copy.jpg

http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Pollution.jpg
And the best thing about this "thing" is that it takes me like 30 seconds to do! WEEEEEEEEEEEE :D(even did a virtual mount on the last 1 :P)

[Cronus]

Isn't that the one where you keep tapping ctrl while drawing? Or maybe shift.

[Cocofuppa]

Indeed it is Cronus! :P Its just cool that i found it oot meself, even if its been discovered a million times b4 lol.
Anyway, heres a small sketch of a plant i drew at the local botanic gardens.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/botanic%20flower%20sketch.jpg
(edit): i didnt like the colour of the last 1, so i made it funkier looking.

[Cocofuppa]

[MisterJ]

you´ve got style. I really like your drwaings very much
Wow wonderful
MisterJ:cool:

[KidGMan]

Digging your style!:D

[Cocofuppa]

Did a couple of wee paintings after bein inspired by fredflickstones tiny paintings and el coros demos. The indian dude was from a b/w photo on national geographic, so i had to make up the colour myself. Its prolly the best thing ive done in a while imo in my sketchbook.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Indian%20Painting.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Another A5 painting, pen line, quick wash and then acrylic with a bit o pencil over it. Dont ask me what its about, cos i have no bloody idea.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/CLine%20Eastwood.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Ok, did this small sketch (oringinally it was supposed to be daddy cool, Clint Eastwood), and turned it into a bizarre styled hair thing with gradients n stuff. Original drawing was all 2H, so i had to use an extra multiply layer cos of the crap scanning.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Hyrbid%20Clint%20Eastwood.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Did a paintover of pai mei from Kill Bill 2 sketch i did a while back. I like it, just a bit of experimentation with brush dynamics.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Japanese%20Dude%20paintover.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

After looking at some guys life drawing sketches on the forums, el coros and manleys comments made me realise how important life drawing is. AND SOOO, i drew my wee pika again.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/pikachu%20colour.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

After checkin fred flicks colour theory thingymajig, i thought id try again at colour. I intended to paint fruit from my head, but its turned out to be just a round "thing" instead. The colours i wanted were to make it like a kind of mid-day light, where the colours aren't as intense.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Apple%20Colour%20Test.jpg
Does it look rightish? Oh and im colour blind green/red, so its even harder for me :P.

[Cocofuppa]

Cmon folks, stop looking and not replying! If you think its shite, SAY its shite, or else dont bother looking at all! If the colours are dodgy and it looks awful to you, tell me! LOL, stop being pussies! Anyway i just passed my illustration course with a merit pass so im chuffed atm. Ive gone back to that pencil sketch as a possible cover for a comments book at my college show.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Comments%20Book%20Clint%20Eastwood.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Well, my end of year illustration show is on the go as i speak, so im a bit tied up at the mo. Suffice to say, I have this small digi painting i did just now. Im pretty pleased the way the sky turned out, after all its just an experiment.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Ocean%20Eye.jpg

[Cocofuppa]

Did this thing, really tryin to get stuck into custom brushes in PS.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Experiment2%20copy.jpg

[Yina]

cool stuff! i like the colours of your digipaint, nice work. : ) you're colour blind red/green :eek: makes things difficult..

[Cocofuppa]

Thought I might make a male version of that evolution illustration i did ages ago. Aint convinced i wanna take it further, the pose is just hmmmmm. Anyway just thought id post it.
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Male-Evolution.jpg

[Xpose]

I like it! It's diffrent but cool

[chudzta]

cocofuppas! u know there are these things called cocoa mounds.. but everytime i try to think of what they are to ask someone if they want one.. all i can bloody think is cocofuppas! and u cant eat cocofuppas! ah!

anywho i like teh June 9th mountain.. and god i remember that female retro pink and stuff pic like yesterday lol it stood out. keep up to painting pal - ry

[Cocofuppa]

LOL, must say ive never heard of coco mounds b4 :P Anywhos I got myself a drawing board today, and let this be the start of my career very soon (I hope :D) Cant fookin w8!

[Cocofuppa]

Been real busy atm, but heres a sample of a possible web/illustration project I might be doing. It all depends if i get the job or not :S http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Retail%20Junky%201.jpg

[mr.right]

Hey man, about the web page design, it's way awesome. A few suggestions though:

Can you get the red box around the item for sale (jacket) to be the same pink/salmon(?) color as the girl?
Can you get the green boxes above the item to change every time a new item is clicked on? There doesn't have to be any rhyme or reason to each design, the boxes can have the same design in different places, I just think that right now the area is static... or wait, I think I understand,... So you click on womenswear and several options appear in the green boxes? And then you click on the option you want? Perhaps a rollover that will switch from green and white pic of item to a full color photo?

Looks good. Solid design mate. (oh, and what size is it?)

[Cocofuppa]

Thnx mr.right, the design is just a rough idea, so i havnt worked out exactly how i want it to work yet, but u pretty much hit the nail on the head on how i was wanting it to work :D Heres another 2 things for the same project. www.retailjunky.com wants a web makeover, and asked me to show em some visuals. Sooo if they like em then i mite get work. The thing is, their website SUCKS atm, so no matter how many illustrations are on it, it will still SUCK, and im no webdesigner, i just know how to design things in general so i made a few alternatives for them!

Any help appreciated folks :D Cheers.
