hey,im new to these forums but im blowen away by all the stuff ive seen in these forums so far....

I intend to visit these forums alot an hopefully post up some sketches or finish crap ive done.I never use photos when doing my SP,its either done looking into a mirror or straight from my imagination.
HTML is something im real new to so some people links might not work n stuff..

those are all really good, especially the ones done with the mouse. Can anyone say "carporal tunnel syndrome"? j/k
What pencils do u use for your sketches? i really like your linework.

[Rusty]

Thanks Helltaxi......:)
I use HB`s,2B pencils of any kind,no real difference in brands from experience..Charcoal or Pastel pencils used with a smudging stick(cant remember the proper name 4 them at this time)r great 4 life drawing .. Black colouring pencils r great alternative to normal graphite pencils...paper,any ol shit will do,mainly use cartridge sketch pads.

[Rusty]

A coloured up SP i drew on the bus then painted up with photoshop..about 40 mins to colour.

[Rusty]

A James Dean inspired SP i painted up on Photoshop,also used a mirror,no photos..The proportions ive kept more realistic rather than slightly charicaturing it like some of my recent SP....about an hour to do..

I would take an art class if i had time.. got too much goin on right now so i have learn by myself. :)
This forum gives me so much insperation. :nod:

[clayrodery v.03]

Hey thanks Rusty. No, i'm not self-taught, well, kind of not. i'm a senior in high school right now and so far high school art hasn't taught me damn near anything. i go to a figure drawing class every week, and thats where i really learn stuff. also this past summer attended ringling's precolleg program and learned more in 4 weeks than i had in my 4 years of high school. anyway, thansk again, and BTW those last few Terminator ones rock the fuckin house, great job!
