Im Scottish, im colourblind, Im 19(now 21), I love illustration, and I am starting my own business in freelance illustration soon(hopefully If all goes well).

This is my 3rd DSB, so Its gonna be better than the last rubbish one. My resolution for this sketchbook is to hold back posting utter crap that I used to rush out just for the sake of posting things, and just post my art when I really think I have something worth sharing this time.

Thought I might as well post this bunch of stuff also, seein as its a new thread. Ive recently been starting to learn anatomy, and just learning the way the muscles work on the body.

Drew a greenhouse at the botanics today in 2H pencil before it rained, scanned and upped the contrast to the max to get a grainy texture. Probably gonna be painted over.

[Shinryu]

The first fellow Scotsman, i have seen on this forum, Howdi Howdi

your sketches are great, your colour work dosent catch ma eye as much though.

Did you take the course at glasgow building and printing college, the one on illustration.

keep up the work

[Cocofuppa]

Lo there Shinryu, fellow scotsman :D Thnx for the reply dude, yeh the colours are a bit bland on the last post huh. To answer your question, I went to trusty ol' Telford College in Edinburgh to study illustration rather than Glasgow :P The college may be a dungheap, but that doesnt reflect the quality of the tutors there AT all :)

Peace

[Cocofuppa]

Woke up at 9am, looked in the mirror and did a quick sketch of my face half asleep. Used the whole afternoon to shade the darn thing in 2h/B Pencil in an A5 sketchbook. Painted over with a few highlights etc and a drab of colour in PS. Theres also a small colour study slapped next to it I did out of my head yesterday, like a kind of flare fizzing/bubbling in water or something(done with a mouse btw) :S

Well anyway, thats just a few things ive been up to recently, so there ya go! Oh and Ive also started using a little A6 book to sketch on the bus and everywhere I go, and OMG ITS SO HARD! Just trying to draw a straight line as the bus goes round a corner is insanely hard lol!

ARGHHHH ILLUSTRATION IS SUCH A LOAD OF SHITE ITS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

So i walk into waterstones(book shop) and flick through the design section, and come across a wee book with lots of drawings in it... drawings that a fucking 10 year old tit with a ball point pen could have drawn blindfolded instead of a real illustrator.

My god i hate poncy arty fucking farty trendy illustration, its just such a fucking mockery of proper illustrators, those baggy trouserd arsewipes with there elitist attitudes and generally bullshit drawings with meaning.

This is a tribute to the one and only jon burgerman (and everyother wanker who cant draw for shit but yet still gets lots of work) who although i respect him as a fucking good business man, i think his work is utter shite.

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

P.S. New Years Resolution: Actually PROPERLY start a business in illustration and fucking show these snobby tits how to bloody do it right!

Sorry for the swearing, no offence meant, just had to make my self clear.

[IanE]

I swear, I wouldn't be able to tell you were 17, in Scotland, and colorblind had you not told us. This sketchbook is really really great, you have a lot of talent and potential. Best of luck to you with you business by the way. I'll be checking this sketch book more often, lots of good pieces here. Keep it up.

[Cocofuppa]

Cheers IanE, appreciated, anyway i just farted with some phtoshop brushes tonight for a few secs to see what kind of natural, dirty, splatty, printmaking(ish) looking effects I could take with minimal effort.

Its not much but its more than usual which is nothing at all :P
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Natrual-Digital-Mess.jpg

Actually looking at it again, its pretty shit tbh, but theres some nice marks in it imo.

Peace

[Cocofuppa]

Experimental thing using random textures and illustration. Its an stylized ink drawing of a paint tube i did, which has been turned into some shite figure person thing or whatever it is. So all n all, its a load of shite, but its fun to paint :P

[JoshuaTheJames]

Heheh. COol stuff.

[EccoXile]

oo, fun stuff in here :D nice variety. and i like paint tube stick man >O

[Cocofuppa]

Right, now I HAVE actually been drawing n painting quite a bit, but its all in my A3 sketchbook so i am unable to scan it so ive taken these bloody crap photos instead. Also the photos are fucking rubbish quality and do not do my work justice at all which sucks!

[Cocofuppa]

Cheers Big Ears!

[FunkyFresh]

I like the drawing with the joined together heads!

[Cocofuppa]

Aye Im back again, I wasn't gonna post this till I finished them, but at this rate that could be next year, so I might as well post it anyway, fuck it!

First one is a random piece of shite which I have turned into some bizarre reference to the almighty power of hardcore music!
http://www.mi7shogun.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/websitesketches/Hardcore-Energy.jpg

Second one is just a piece that I really dont have a clue about, Im just painting it as I see fit, no thought really as to what it is at all! Ur guess is as good a mine!

[Cocofuppa]

On a roll today w00t, custom brushes ROCK, can you feeeel the looseness of the brushstrokes baby! Brilliant sketch if I do say so myself :P.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/Face.jpg
To answer your question, I do use acrylics, as u can probably see in the photo of my desk. The first image of the freak-ass face was a new method which I am keeping hush hush on atm as It is a semi 3D illustrative technique im working on.

dude how many pounds is tha sketchbook you paint in?!

[Fellah.]

Nice stuff, really like the first one - so sick and so funny!

[runtosaurus]

I really like the stuff you have going on here, some of it is pretty bizarre. Strange choice of colors on a lot of the stuff too, it reminds me a lot of graffitti art!

[Cocofuppa]

Muffinman: It is quite heavy, thick thick paint, doublesided pages. And only 12 pages in!
Fellah: Cheers dude, appreciated.
Runtosaurus: Thanks bud, bizarre is a good thing, and well yes i do choose wierd colours cos of me colourblindess. Graffiti style, hmmm i can see where u come from, but its not really much of an inspiration tbh.

Peace

[incognito]

Great stuff man, great stuff. I really like your designs and choice of color, even if you may not see the actual color, it looks awesome and interesting.

Though only crit I can give you is...well I don't have a crit yet.

Keep posting.

[klinesmoker]

http://img94.exs.cx/img94/3561/shinyhead4nv.jpg
That was me in third grade! Wasn't I just the pimpest?

I love the style you use here, but I think you might have a tendency to get too caught up in conveying a message and not following through on how to convey it. That makes no sense, huh?

Oh well, you have great inkings at the top there. Love 'em. Simply awesome!

Incognito: Cheers dude, crit away!

Klinesmoker: Well tbh mate, I aim to convey something in my drawings, i dunno what that might be, but its what I ususally do. Thats what being an illustrator is aboot to me I guess lol. Dunno bout the following through bit, I wouldn't necasserily say that, but I do draw a load of bollocks that means nothing quite a lot hehe.

Peace

[Skulldog]

I noticed your colorblind up there, crazy, I was going to comment that I really loved your choice in colors, you really take a sometimes harsh color, say that electric blue, and keep it from being something distracting in the picture.

That and you have some really awesome linework, love that mix of more graphic work and more realistic take on human features you have.

[Cocofuppa]

Cheers Skulldog, appreciated. Here's some stuff Ive drawered to pass the time. A quick quick colour study of my kitchen from my seat at 3pm today, and a random freaky face thing thats quite shite lol.

ps I know how ya feel about the no reply thing ... its like could I get a little feed back and three thousand views later it's like nothing.

Well later, love the SB :yayca:

Davidskiwan: Cheers dude, roger that.
Ink_Monkey: Appreciated man.
Badger: Gotta love the acrylics lol.

Anyway, here's a DAS clay piece I did very quickly with a bit of digital stuff over it. I intended to do a really fine sculpture, but then thought fuck it i'll do a speed paint type thing with clay instead, so here it is, rough as a badgers arse and IIIIII LIKE IT! lol

OK, I looked so now I'm replying. I love your work.

I think you should ad some of this work to your website. Most of what you've posted here blows away the images you've got on your site.

There's something really nice about the photos you take of your work sitting on your drawing table. That might actually be a nice way to present your work on your site.

Anyway, keep on posting. I always look forward to a new post from you.

Wow, your stuff is amazing and i love your style. I can't believe your 19, but then again i'm not that surprized, this is a new generation.

If you weren't so cool and didn't update your sketchbook so much, I wouldn't believe that you are color blind. But dont take that offensivley. your stuff is crazy man, I think you'll make a great ilustarator. How much formal trainging have you had?

[Cocofuppa]

Mentler: Post toasties.. dunno what they are but they sound nice, your work rawks dude, cheers :P

PixelDragoon: Thanx dude, I studied Illustration for 2yr at college and got a diploma out of it, on top of drawing TMNT and copying crap out of magazines for the previous 18 or so years.

I just got a ring for someone who wants a caricature done, so I guess I gotta get the whole "business" thing startin now i suppose lol!

Never replied in this thread, but heck... I had to look, so I bloody well reply, huh? ;)

Man I LOVE your paintings, real vibrant collors which work well with the funky linework!!!!!!!!!

You've got the talent, make it happen..............

[Wisdom_Cube]

Damn man, I'm 19, and you gave me some inspiration in using color. I'm colorblind as well (red/green) :P Found out during some eye tests when i was thinking about joining the Airforce. Well, screw the military decided to go to school for animation, and art. Your style is awesome man. You dont understand how relieving this is too me. Sorry if I couldnt leave any critiques, not confident enough yet to do so.

BTW are you Completely color blind(you see black and white)? Because, if you are, damn man you are a VERY select few in this world who are, HELL it's even more rare than blind people from what Ive read.... I give you even more praise if you are.

W_C

[Cocofuppa]

Soz for late reply, been away doing stuff, living life, enjoying stuff etc. Ive got a bunch of stuff to post, but aint got round to takin pics or scanning them(when i get it set up).

Darolan: Cheers bud, what can I say, I love colour!
Wisdom_Cube: Yeh, im Red/Green as well.. but Its never stopped me.. i just need to ask now n again or use labelled products. Lime green/yellow, purple/violet etc, reds/browns, u get the drift.. its just a bit hard to distinguish em apart.

Anyway, heres 2 tiny things for now: The first is a quick mock of a CD cover illustration for someone Im doin for free for a mate, and the second is just a quick bash In PS of a ladyboy?... haha!
If someone can guess the subject matter behind the first image, then they get a pat on the back from me, cos Its got a bit of thought put into it! :P

Aprat: cheers mate, I love acrylics, and I totally agree with you btw, I think it does help things a bit in terms of values. I just think of it like Light bits, Medium bits, Dark bits.. and all the bits in between.. effin simple!

Majofo: Haha, thanks man, I tend to try and be originial lol... most of the time its utter crap though, but ach well who cares lol im havin fun.

This is just an image of a face, the hair was taken from this guy I saw who had his hair practically welded to his face... so funny lol. Anyway I like it, can't get enough of that fuckin crisp white bit above the lips and below the nose haha.

[Mr.Blonde]

very conceptual and compositionally based paintings. I respect your colors, and i'd like to see some gestural human anatomy work to see what you can do when you put your mind to it.

[Cocofuppa]

Lo there..

Mr.Blonde: Cheers, I dunno bout much drawing gestural figure work(ive never done a life drawin class ever you see), im still workin on that atm. Ive been doodlin figures from me brain every day at work which I'll post very soon which are gestural to a certain degee! I just cant get the angles right in my brain, its so frustrating lol. My poses aren't natural, they are stiff and rigid and have about as much flair as a tree. Anyway, I painted this tonite to see what I could come up with. If only I had a fit bird to draw nekkid every nite ffs lol.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/Figure-Made-up.jpg
Im especially havin trouble with the bit under the chin at these angles, legs and hands. the torso is so-so :S

You got mad painting skills, dude. Your sketchbook kicks mines ass :er:

[Cocofuppa]

G'day

Quick_Sketch: Don't say that mate lol, if anything you should be saying how urs is gonna own mine! lol

Dead Road 7: My Workspace is a desk, its boring and cluttered, will see what I can do, cheers lol.

Right well, I got off my arse and recharged the digi-cam, so heres some pics of stuff Ive had floating about for a while. Some of the pics are a bit shoddy lol, soz bout that.

[acorn]

why hanvt i come upon this thread before
:nohope:
This is some really cool stuff !! iv forgotten what its like to pain on paper larger than A4 :dead:

keep em coming!!!! =)

[EccoXile]

long time no see.eally nice stuff, lovely sketchbook. Nice colors, need some work on the fgiure but good style, awesome designs, and i enjoy the texture in your ps stuff.

[peterhurman]

you have some fun stuff in here. you may not be the best on here technically but your sketchbook is deffinitely one of the nicest to look at. the acrlylic self portrait is nice too.

[berf]

Really awsome stuff man, i really love the sketchbook paintings. The colors you use are awsome!

[JeroArt]

Nice stuff u have here man!
U have so much control already over so many styles. Something i think is the best thing to have as an illustrator.
Do you have a lot jobs/offers already?

Well keep it up!

[Cocofuppa]

Lo folks,

Acorn: Cheers mate, I use a hefty A3 and A4 sketchbook depending on where I am at the time.

EccoXile: Thanks again.. yeh my figures are shite atm rofl, I really need to go to a life drawing class, then Ill rock the boat lol(hopefully :P)

oven g love: Roger that, although personally I'd say I got the technical ability, just not the theoretical ability lol.

Berf: Colours are good, is perhaps colourblindness a good thing then lol?

JeroArt: I share the same opinion, variation is key to becoming a successful illustrator imo, I want to be an all rounder rather than a gimmick tbh, a bit like a plumber, but I would be yer local illy boy instead :P Ive had job offers in the past year, none which I chased up, I wasn't quite ready tbh. BUT I intend to start v soon, ill keep yall posted on progress.

Anyway pff, reason Im replyin the now is to get an opinion, this is a sketch im deciding to finish up for a change, but im not to sure on the cropping or about the tight layout atm. I really like the intamacy in the little relationship between the guy n' the fly but any help would be sweet.

[Wafflehouseninja]

So uh.. yeh I decided to paint a portrait on canvas because Ive not really done one for a while.
Still painting as I speak but here is the progess atm.

After 15 mins of painting:

After about 2-3 hours of painting.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/DSC00632.jpg


Oh and soz about the contrast on the last pic, cos it was taken late in the evening and I haven't had the chance to install PS after reformatting.

Peace


This Oil?

[Cocofuppa]

Wafflehouseninja: Tis all Acrylic mate, I don't do oils(yet) unfortunatly. The giveaway was in the pics with the tubes of acrylic next to the canvas :P

Cheers

[acorn]

Forget oils, to much uneeded blackouts, but maybe i should open my window.

great stuff!!!!

More random dead heads would be nice :D
keep it coming :teeth:

[Cocofuppa]

Hehe, Ive never tried oils acorn, but perhaps I should lol, get some toxic inspiration rofl! Heres a bit of A4 lined paper with shite all over it, folded in half, taken from work where I doodle stuff on breaks. Topped with a bit of photoshop'ness over it for extra flavour.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/Work-Sketch.jpg

[Eriboss]

nice stuff you got here man, i thought i commented before, but i musta forgot by the looks of things.
Great Trad work man, really nice painterly style
look foward to seeing more!

Eri :evilmustache:

[the_allejo05]

nice work..your colors speak for themselves..what do you mean you have not tried oils??..then you are not a painter...artist must like oils..its a rule..i hate acrylics..hehe..keep them coming.

[Cocofuppa]

Eriboss: Cheers man, there will be more... at some point lol.
the_allejo05: Smell a bit or sarcasm there lol, oils pfff.... I will paint with any old crap, even the ol cheapo watercolour/poster paint blocks schools make you use. Its not what paint you use, its how ya use it! rofl

Omg, I had a fucking brilliant night clubbin yesterday.. going to bed at 6/7am and waking up in a random flat with 10 irish birds at 9am, kwality :P ANNNNNNNYWAY lol, heres a post of a boring painting/sketch of my wooden figure thing. Its primarily done with acrylic paints, and then some coloured pencil over the acrylic to get the gradiants right. The pencil gives it a really nice texture as well, which is cool. I dunno, but I think I may do this more often, its boring subject matter to paint, but Im quite taking to the two mediums together, works v nicely, v practial!

Oh my god, I never normally drink tea, but I decided to drink it today to ease my sore throat. What a mistake that was! Apparently tea is ok to drink anytime no matter how old, but this was 2 years out of date apparently, and OMG MY STOMACH DID NOT LIKE THAT ONE BIT, almost chucked it right up after the last gulp! This is how i felt..... :P

[EmmDoubleEw]

Wow, that's very impressive work, even more for your age.

What color perception disorder do you have? Deuteranomaly? Or straight out full color-blindness?

[Cocofuppa]

EmmDoubleEw: Cheers mate, I wouldn't really say its impressive for my age, its just that Ive drawn a fair bit over the years, anyone who has done the same will be as good if not better than me. As for colour perception disorder.. ummmmm eh? Lol, all I know is that apparently im colour blind red/green(got told that when i was wee) and that I mix up similar tones of stuff by mistake all the time givin me green skin rofl :P

Peace

[Cocofuppa]

Did a bit more work on that sickboy sketch. Just cleaned it up a bit basically.

[bumskee]

You sure you are colourblind???? ... stumped by your sketchbook here.. brilliant stuff, the thing I noticed was there's good amount of graphic design elements? evident in your work. and ur use of colour is a beauty. I really couldn't tell if you were colour blind, seems all solid to me.. You would make a great graphic designer, the ones that create new trends and stuff. And an illustrator too..

Love your work and your sketchbook.... keep going man!! :confident

[hurricane]

HAHA, "the monster with a balloon" excellent !!!


cheers man ! beautifull stuff !!

[Cocofuppa]

Bumskee: Appreciated words mate, thanks v much! I did a bit of graphic design as part of my illustration course, same general pishy design principles apply lol, and I also did work experience with the design team at a newspaper, so yeh it kinda rubs off in my illustrations.

Hurricane: Cheers mate, that monster was v random(i told y'all I draw garbage, no j/k haha) lol, so random I decided to create another one!

2 Images today, I saw a really old 70/80s painting program at like 8.30am one day, the guy was ace, could paint snowscapes like a legend!(Bob something?) Anyway I tried to remember what he did and bashed out this pic, and heres another monster too.

Hey, glad you're back. This has always been one of my favorite sketchbooks. I really love the pictures you take of your work sitting on the drawing table.. The surroundings become part of the art.

[Cocofuppa]

Lo again:

PS say hi to Scotland for me (my favorite holiday country)...

[PHATandy]

Cool stuff man, love the style of the VS one reminds me of aztec sort of totem heads and masks, looks ace.

As mundane as this one (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/badhairday.jpg) is, it really made me laugh for no reasons. Bad hair days arent funny. Well drawn though.

Keep it up.

[Cocofuppa]

ArcoNL: Thanks mate, Scotland rAwks! :D
PHATandy: Cheers dude, I was actually aiming for a sort of aztec look actually, so u got that spot on! Kickass sketchbook yourself btw, all kinds'a crazy concept shit you got going on, keep it up :P

Just remembered I wanted to scan in these figure/arm studies. All of them are without reference, or maybe a glance at my arm at the most. I'm progressing slowly but surely haha.

The elephant and stag are self promo WIP at the moment, but the others are all genuine pieces traded for British dough. Can someone help me out with the Stags front legs btw, cos I can't seem to get them right just now which is very annoying :P

Cheers

[neoknocker]

Cool work. Where's me pint! :)

[Pheep]

I like your style, so free and loose. As for the stag, it looks kinda like the bent leg is sticking out of its chest; maybe move it up or change the angle so it connects properly wit the shoulder. Cheers!

[Cocofuppa]

neoknocker: It's still in the brewery im afraid dude, and its Tennents :P
Pheep: Cheers dude, i've went over the stag again, and it looks much better now.

Just wanted to post a small update to the stag pic together with a speedpaint of it.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/AOI-Post.jpg

Cheers slags :D

[thegreypencil]

style +10. wicked pure wickednezz.

[Cocofuppa]

thegreypencil: Thanks mate, another few points and its time to level up I think hehe! :P

Just some more stag stuff again, I'm finally starting to get somewhere near completetion of the skectch, the mental block of trying to decide where to create the shapes of black and shade are almost gone, woo! :D Almost ready to get it vectored up soon yay!
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/AOI-Post2.jpg
Cheers

[Cocofuppa]

Right, a bit more progess, but this time I really need some help with the stag's legs. So if anyone knows animal anatomy, any help would be mucho appreciated!
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/AOI-Post3.jpg
I think the legs are too small, but I can't quite judge exactly. I've been using many references but just can't seem to get it right. Normally I would keep trying this type of thing until I get it right, but I don't have all day to spend working on it, and would ideally like to finish it soon so I can get it into my portfolio pronto :D.

Cheers

[joiton]

Hi cocofupa!
Nice stuff you have here. I like your fat lines.
About the deer legs (the front ones) if you just make them stright and pointing down will improve a lot.

Hope that helps :)

Keep drawing!

[Pixeldragoon]

Yeah- Straight and pointing down would be best, IMO.

[Cocofuppa]

Jointon, Pixeldragoon: I think that might just be the answer, thank's lads! :hatsoff:

Ta

[Cocofuppa]

Right, heres the new and improved version. Much happier about it now, just thought I would post the last sketch, see if anyone has any last minute suggestions before I move on to the final vector version.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/AOI-Post4.jpg

[cartoonfox]

HAHAHA, your thread title made me laugh!!

awesome work man. cool style you've got going.
This one (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/raver.jpg) is awesome! I simply Love it!

Great stuff. I look forward to seeing more

Hey... so where's my free sausage roll? :p


peace

[thegreypencil]

mmmmm dope is the word. i liek them mad color combis. crazy crazy.

can i get a vegetable pasty instead im vegetarian...mmmmmm

[Cocofuppa]

Cartoon Fox: Cheers mate, only me, you and any UK going members would get the thread title :P But seriously, HOW GOOD are greggs sausage rolls! :D
Thegreypencil: Hmmm ill think about it, not promising anything like :P

For some reason I got inspired to paint a figure. It's totally no ref, 30mins, and signals an improvement for me. I've still never been to a life drawing class, so the drawing is just based on my memory and observations, and considering I hardly draw figures, im happy with it.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/Figure.jpg
It's still shit compared to most folk here's anatomy studies, but its no too shabby like, it has a bit more form and weight imo.

Cheers

[thegreypencil]

howdy!

grrrr.....n vege pasty!?!?!?!? *RAGE*

by theway,,,ahem. nice anatomy study but you might wanna push the abdomen out abit more...go ref...its looking too vertically aligned right now those covexities.

also yea its good to draw without ref.....but dont let it become a habit. things you are ignorant about should be corrected as soon as possible eh!

draw on!

[Cocofuppa]

thegreypencil: Thank's mate, I will try and use reference more often. Judging by your own anatomy studies, I can see you know your stuff, awesome sketches!

Anyway, just posting some stuff I have drawn in-between things like accidentally burning myself in the sun etc etc.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/Cocofuppa/pig2.jpg
The idea is to visualise lots of piggybanks floating away by helium balloons into the sky, looking very worried and nervous.

Oh and the final version of that stag is available to check out on my website for anyone who cares.

Archipelago: Thanks bud, that was in acrylics I think.

Long time no post eh.. well heres a few things I can muster up for now. It's just a couple of reeeeeally quick figure sketches(hence the looseness) and a small vector illo I am using as part of a promotional piece.

Thanks

[White Rose]

wow.. your sketchbook thread..got some really sweet art....
so what do you plan to do next

[White Rose]

oh and about the boat..why did you choose a red sky....?

[Cocofuppa]

White Rose: Cheers for the reply, not sure what I'm gonna draw next.. just have to wait n' see I guess, I'm not inspired atm. Oh and there isn't a particular reason why the sky is red.. I just think it looks nice.

Ta

[peterhurman]

always a pleasure to look through your sketchbook. i love the piggybank piece, the colours work really well together.

[Mindflaw]

I like the piggybank pic too thought without having read the text I thought "yeah money has an easy way to just fly away"....I like the sketch better than the finished piece though...but it still a strong piece since you get your thoughts and message through to the viewer.

[Cocofuppa]

Oven g love: Glad you liked it, the end result was somewhat of a rush job, and personally I'd love to finish up the painterly sketch, but I still love the idea 'cos many people can relate to it.

Mindflaw: Again, many thanks dude, I guess the image is a success then, if without any text, it made YOU think the same as what I was thinking when I created it. Cheers

No new work atm, but ill probably have something this week maybe lol.

[Chandan]

Really fresh stuff man. Those paintings in your sketchbook are great and it's sad most of us don't do stuff like that. Keep doing your thing...i'll be back to check up on ya.

Hello folks, long time no speak, I almost forgot about this sketchbook! Anyway, I've discovered some free time just now, so I thought it would be a good idea to start drawing a bit more often.

Oh, I also wanted to chuck this illustration up too. It's from a job I did recently, and was from a total of 45 illos. Talk about no social life lol.

Another drawing for today: The classic life drawing of an apple. Apologies for the awful picture quality, I need to invest in an A3 scanner at some point it seems.

Another pint of water today, corrected the contrast a bit, and added some highlights in Photoshop. About 1 hr or so.
