Bojee's Monkey Brain (More paint less talk) Sept. 8th

[Bojee]

The reason for the title is cause I'm kinda all over the place, but I like it that way. ;)
Gonna try to stay regular with this but we'll see how it goes.

I'm going to start this off with something I did for UK vs Seattle Drizzledome( a new interpretation of the statue of liberty) . I did lots of variations, but this is what I finally chose.



More soon. :bashful::party:

[Sok N. Wett]

Woo Hoo I'm the first to de-virginized your thread. Awesome work with that piece for the thunderdome. Your paintings are so cool, it's always good to know one or two traditional painter. If you stay regular with your sketch thread, I'll stay regular with mine.

[Groover McNab]

Hey man, good to see you starting one of these! Nice paintings!

[Bojee]

Thanks Sok , will do, we'll keep each other honest.:teeth:

Groover- thanks man, more to come soon, guys like you are the inspiration to get one started. :wink: :teeth:

[rollb82]

i like the city scape paintings! very nice.

[Bojee]

rollb82- Thanks dude, they're fun to do.

A few more from a small show I have up right now.

Thanks Kekai,
Lol, I just said basically the same thing on yours.

[mentler]

Terrific Works!!
Love your use of color ~ really like the little speedos as well!

[Bojee]

Mentler- Thank you, your very kind, I just started checking out your posts, great stuff. :rendered: you must not sleep very much. :wink:

[fattkid]

Dang man, watchoo doin up so early? Good to see you got a painting thread going. I like your style. I hope you keep updating this thread, especially once you move to the East Coast. I love seeing peoples progress over time. It's inspiring, and educational. See ya at sketchgroup soon!

[Bojee]

Thanks Trevor, that's kinda why I'm starting this, don't want to lose touch with everyone I'm meeting. Make you a deal, you keep me honest with this sketchbook and I'll do the same with you. :wink: Great job on the scholarship. :} :} Can't wait to start seeing the progress.

[fattkid]

Deal!

All right Eljay talked me into it. :wink: These are 20s to 25s.

Bojee - this brown paper series is so refreshing and dynamic. I mean I realllllly like these for their bold decisions on design and color and when to say when. I need to learn this myself....I tend to render everything up way too much.

Cheers!
Dave

[Bojee]

fattkid- Alright trevor we're on , I'll be checking up on you, hope to see you soon dude.

Redehlert- Dave thanks man, a little different than what you do huh? I love your stuff too man. When you going to come by the drawing session? Thanks a lot dude , it's just me having fun, I love life stuff, been trying to work more out of my head lately to balance it out. Thanks for stoping by. :wink:

Hey Bojee,
I do intend on attending Art Not Terminal sometime this month or in the month of October. I need life art in my life. :wink:
Your work is different than what I do - mine tends to be rather anal (both figuratively and literally)! But I can tell you this much - your work is inspiring! I'll see ya tonight and perhaps your creative skillz will rub off on me so I can loosen up a bit. All I have to say is keep on drawing those things from your head...me like!
Cheers!
Dave

[Bojee]

Dave- It'd be great to see you there. These are all from life by the way, I'll be posting the other stuff soon, you'll definitely be able to tell a difference. Just getting warmed up. Thanks for the support dude, see you tonight. :wink:

[mentler]

Have eye injury ~ will be fine ~ have eye patch for now ~ hard to draw or paint so I checking threads. Like your quick stuff ~ I really need to do this and get a lot of work out quick ~ over think every damn thing.
Colour very red ~ assuming photo or my monitor!

[insane visions]

Im diggin it_yes indeed:)

Mentler- Sorry to hear about your eye, hope you get better soon. Gesture stuff is probably my favorite too, I enjoy working on the other things but I think they are the most successful. Hard for me to check the color once it's posted, I host my work at photobucket and for some reason it's not compatible with macs anymore. It might be something they are doing here too...not sure. Photobucket seems to be the common denominator cause I can't see other peoples stuff if they are hosted by photobucket either.

Rich- I'm honored, just getting started with this thing. Your all over the boards these days. Anybody take you up on your challenge?? I couldn't tell if you had 3 matches( 2 on our challenge and one on the UK's) or none? I hope it's 3. Take care dude.
:)

[Michael78]

yeah cool cool stuff... Ive seen your gestures at the sunday life drawing session but didnt realize you had such a nice painting style too. i really like the old guy in red with long grey beard and white turbin thingy.. :confident

im glad to be back to life drawing.. it seems like the most enjoyable way to draw. Kinda like your getting a runners high but without the running :bashful:

[eliWolff]

I'm glad you started a sketchbook! For some reason I just see the little :404sign: on some of the posts.. I really like those oil paintings alot (that girl with the big hat is cool). Was the model really wearing stilts for the last painting you just posted? I've never seen a model do that!

[Bojee]

Eli- thanks for stopping by, which posts are you having trouble seeing, only the first one and the kong stuff are posted differently. Anyone else getting red X's

yeah the model was really wearing stilts, it was a lot of fun. You missed a good one today, the model was a ballet dancer, started off a little slow but ended really strong. I'll post some of the stuff later.

[eliWolff]

The portraits from sep 9th, and the small gouache studies from yesterday are not showing up for me. :[

[Bojee]

Hmm, I got comments on those so I'm not sure what's going on.

I still blast out a few here and there :D Not much from ref lateley, although I learned alot form the ones I did do. Basicly, I need to paint more/work harder, I feel Im makeing progress though. :}
Great work your doing, keep it up :}

Woohoo! Bojee has a sketchBook, finally...it's about time. Thanks for the inspiration and help from you and Master Aaron after all these damn long years....
ever since I start picked up pencil about four or five years ago. Without you guys, I would probably be a bumb homeless kid somewhere on the street of Seattle. Woo hoo!

You go Guy!

[eliWolff]

That worm thing is really creepy to me for some reason.. :\ It's like what if her "jack in the box" got possessed and grew really big and attacked her.. I like seeing the different versions like that -- B&W and various color studies..

[Bojee]

Xia- thanks for stopping by dude, it's nice to get a visit by one of the stars of CA. I'll be looking for inspiration on your thread so keep them coming.:rendered::rendered:

Eli- It's creepy? Cool that's what i'm going for, I've got a long way to go on the composition but it's good practice for me to work on other stuff besides life stuff. Thanks for the comments. :rendered:

[jester]

Bojee, great gestures! I especially like the ones on the newspapers. Great idea: it's cheap and looks very interesting. Very nice gouache and oils, too!

Jester

[Bojee]

Jester, thanks, the ink on the newspaper makes it a little tricky sometimes and it's more stuff that's done in the moment, the longevity of them are pretty low but it's fun to mix it up and try something new. Thanks for stopping by. ;)

[Bojee]

liam c.- Thanks, Were you talking about Egon Scheile? If so thank you( big influence of mine), If not I don't know a Scheel, I haven't looked at Alice Neel's work in a long time, Now I'm going to have to. Thanks for stopping by.

[redehlert]

Hey Bojee,

I think I like the first comp idea more than the new 'side view'. What I'd love to get an impression of moreso in the first comp is the sense of the beasty coming in from above since that is our viewing perspective.
I'm wondering if this wormy guy should come in from the lower left and bend (much as a snake does in a tree) over and above the sleeping girl. It may create a more dynamic composition that creates a circle of tension. You have the girl's head pointing to the body mass in the lower left and then the body curls around the lower margin of the canvas to come back into sight right where you have the head right now, completing the circle.
As it stands right now, the face of the beasty doesn't cross over the strong diagonal of the bed, so I have to determine where the beasty resides in space (is it on the floor or in the air?). Does that make sense?
And lastly....that ajar door could have some awesome 'hallway night light' (orange-green, perhaps) spilling in across the room and onto the bed thereby creating a disturbing shadow across the little girl.
Food for thought?
Cheers!
D

[Groover McNab]

Man you're starting your sketch thread off with a bang! Not like mine that started with a whimper... :)

I really really like your traditional stuff, especially the stylized figure quickies. And great idea drawing over magazines and newspapers! That's awesome, it has a very nice graphic look to it.

[Bojee]

Redehlert- Dave, thanks for the critique, I'll work on it. I like the drawing in the second one better but the first one still seems more lecherous/creepy almost pedophile ish. 8) :perv: 8)

Groover McNab- Thanks man, I appreciate it, just putting it out there and seeing what people think. The traditional stuff is more what I do all the time but I'm trying to stretch myself. Thanks for checking it out. :rendered: :teeth: :teeth:

[Sok N. Wett]

Dammit you update more than me.....Nicholas Cage as SUPERMAN...LOL, Love your sketches they are getting better, pretty soon you'll be the masters of paint and pencil, and all shall bow before your undeniable talent, cept for me cause I'll probably fall on my face, cause I'm clumsy.

Bojee,, Hey Buddy! it's nice to see you doing stuff out of your head. Keep 'em coming.

>:D

[Bojee]

Thick Paint- Joe, hey what's up man, haven't talked to you in a while, are you going to Henry's thing this weekend?? I'm going to at least stop by.Might be the last time I'll see him in a while.

Stuff out of my head? yeah it's really good practice for me, stretching me in new ways, plus it's fun.

Thanks for stopping by , you should share the wealth of your stuff with the rest of these guys. If you haven't already checkout Rusty,prostrate sunrise, stokes, insane visions, hardcore pixx, and Sammy. They're all my favorites right now.

Take care dude. :party: :party: :party:

[Soja]

Hey Bojee!

Hey u have nice stuff in here!!
The Couache studies are pretty cool!
And ur life drawings too!!

[Bojee]

Soja- Thanks dude, just workin at it like you, Thanks for checking my stuff out. :teeth: :teeth:

[thickpaint]

Bojee, Henry's workshop got cancelled. Not enough people signed up.

I check stuff out here from time to time during lunch. But I find it to be a part time job just to keep up with all the new post. :$ Or Maybe I've just been in the game industry too long. :dead:

Been thinking abut starting my own sketchbook thread but I’m much more of a lurker. :teeth:

Nice to see vartiey out of you besides the drawing/paintings session.

Keep'um coming.

-j

[Bojee]

Joe- that sucks about the workshop, I was really looking forward to seeing him, I wish I had known he was having problems filling the workshop , I could have helped.

I know what you mean about keeping up with the posts let alone posting yourself, it's a lot of work. I've been trying to do this daily and it's pushing me in new directions. Man it was rough at first, I think my mind was really rusty but it's getting easier. I think I have lots of questions for you if you don't mind sharing. :P

It'd be cool if you started your own thread, if nothing else for purely selfish reasons, but I understand if you don't. For me it's another trick that I play on myself to get me to produce. I seem to get more work done away from home then at home though.

Thanks for stopping in and the nice words, means a lot coming from you.
take care- A

I personally don't care too much for art with a political message, on any side of the fence *shrug*. Anyway I love what's been going on here in this thread, the style is great, and what you do with color is sugar to my eyes. Not...sugar IN my eyes, but like O_o you know. Those life paitings you did last sunday blew me away like melted cheese flapping in the breeze.

[Bojee]

Nate - thanks dude ( that is you right?),I haven't got everyones screen name down yet. Thank you,your very kind, sometimes when I look at my stuff all can see is how far I have to go. So thanks . :rendered:

[one2hit]

yeap that's right. Names are the one thing I can never remember, I think I called you Aaron a few times, or alex...sorry about that. Well, what are you doing with your art right now? Is it your profession, or a hobbie? It's really tough for me to feel justified giving critisism, because I've been looking at my own art recently...and it's just dissapointing. It's not disheartning, but it's not uplifting either. Anyway, if I were to give you some crits I would say that the two images on the first page are your weakest. The ones with the child in the bed and the monster creeping up. Some of the anatomy seems a bit off, and lacks weight...like the limbs aren't falling into the right planes. Your life drawings are wonderful, so I think all you need to spend some more time thinking about the body, and how it naturally falls when drawing concepts.

It seems to me like you have the most fun when you are painting eh? You do some marvelous color work, maybe spend some more time pencil rendering, or doing gestures with just a pencil and your imagination. Keep going though man, I know you will of course. Can't wait for updates. Getting better is the most exciting part of art to me. The further you have to go, the more fun you know you're going to have down the road!

[Bojee]

Nate- Yeah you got me, I'm just starting drawing out of my head again, trying to push myself in new directions. They'll get better. I have fun doing it all though, actually it's sometimes more fun doing stuff I'm not as good at. Just trying to grow as an artist.

Sweet! <3 haha

The spacesuit looks cool with the round retro look. You see sky captain yet? I guess alot of people are dogging on it but I really liked it. The marker values really pop. I think im going to work with markers for the next couple weeks. I spent alot of time with the pencil cause that was the chosen medium for my T-dome. Doesnt feel quite right though.. I keep wanting to put in more broad strokes.. those little hatch marks get annoying after awhile :S

the 2nd guy is freaky.. i like him alot. Im about to start designing a succubus for my next 3d character.

[Bojee]

Michael- Thanks, hell yeah I saw sky captain. I liked it , It was a little flat story wise and Gwenyth paltrow bugged me a little bit but I liked it alot , reminded me alot of the old black and white serials, Buck rogers, flash gordon, the rocketeer and all that. The retro style is so cool. :) :) :)

[steak-tron]

wow Bojee, you've got some great work here man. i love those gesture experiments you've got but those portraits are great too -- you captured the JetPackMike chin perfectly:)

Those collages are killer too man. It's great to see diversity here and your successful on alot of fronts.

Figure over style! Make sure the form is accurate, and reads as a realistic body before style! Style comes later. All things (minus purely abstract, or fictional creations) are based off of real life. *ducks from flames in case he's speaking out of his ass* Block in that form, check proportions, flip the image, do whatever.... get it down before you move to the next step. I'm sure you're probably already doing this, but maybe something is holding ya back? haha...like more practice...I know I need it : /

Diggin' the SP dude. Started doing those myself. It's kind of an erie feeling to capture your own likeliness isn't it? Keep working on the SPs though. Based on my experience with them, you learn a lot, and improve quickly...they really do help! Focus on blocking in a good likeliness of yourself, check all the proportions, make sure the lines relate to each other, the same way the contours of your own face do in the mirror, then find tones. I made a horrible error this morning during life drawing. I didn't check the block-in with integrity, and the head ended up a bit too big in the end, with no hope of being able to change it. I was very happy with the drawing minus the head. I screwed up early in the beginning, and it affected everything. Oh yeah...excuse my horrendous lack of being able to be litterate at this hour...well it's not late yet, but damn, I'm tired. No coherancy at all.

oh yeah...
about this image:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v88/bojee/digital/nightmare9.jpg
I kind of had some weird thoughts about this image falling asleep last night. I think I'd like to draw it, with my own twist if you don't mind me posting it, or sending it to you....had kind of a cool idea to bring more feeling to it.

[Bojee]

Nate- Your funny dude, your quiet as a mouse at the session but here your the mouse that roared. :) One thing though , if your going to talk like you know something you better be willing to put your own stuff out there in some way so people know whether you can do it yourself or not. Start your own sketchbook, post there regularly and I think people might respect your opinion more. :)

Now as to what you said, I agree with a lot of it, especially your critique of the gun piece,it's weak, but this is a Daily "Sketchbook",I'm more concerned with the daily part right now, just me trying to work my ideas out, I'm not too majorly concerned about it yet, when I get a couple months into this I'll be a lot harder on myself, but thanks for the crit, your saying good things, stuff I definitely need to be thinking about. It'll only make me try harder.

Now about you doing another version of my piece, go for it, pm me with it and if I like it I'll post it or you can post it. :)

Keep those crits coming, I definitely need it, make sure that you put yourself out there as well though. :)

oh yeah, I know dude. I was just saying, "for next time" you know, I wasn't implying that you should redraw the image, or try again...just giving you some things to watch out for in the future I guess.

I'd love nothing more than to have my own sketchbook thread here...but I really don't feel like I have enough content worth posting...and I'm sorta like, a hypocrite, because I don't apply the stuff I talk about to my own art most of the time, and it comes out lookin' crappy. :yawn: School's about to start for me, so I'll soon have a lot of free time to draw...I'll try to get a sketchbook thread started before the end of the quarter.

Sok- I'm not sure what one line forms means but on the gestures I don't lift up the pen very often. And yes I definitely make passes to girls who wear glasses.:) You got to love the librarian look.:) Anything that make their face stand out is interesting to me. Thanks Bro.

Hey Bojee!!!
Nice Work man!! The last paintings are amazing. I love the life drawings.
Hope I can do some tonight!!

Really diggin the life studies...fab work buddy!

[Bojee]

Sok- thanks bro , me too, that's the tough stuff. We got to get you to start coming to the drawing session doing some life stuff too. Lot's of people from the industry show up.

Lowpolymatt- Thanks bro, the life stuff is where I come from,I know I have a long way to go there too but i feel a lot more comfortable with it, the doing stuff out of my head is the tough one, it seems to be a muscle that I let atrophy. Working on it though. Thanks for stopping by, it's nice to get the international crowd in here. :) Too bad you guys lost I thought you had them. :(

[lowpolymatt]

My 'imagination' muscles seem to have atropie'd (sp) also...So I know exactly where you're coming from. As for the TD, it was great fun and got me using said imagination muscles so it was n't a loss at all...

A quick SP, these never turn out the way I want them to but just means I got to do them more. Have you guys seen andrews most recent posts, man that stuff is crazy cool. Quite the inspiration, theres a lot of it around here. :)

[one2hit]

OUEWRLjnasidufayhoetrvxlghbka!!

Those life paintings are awesome! Those paintings on that brown paper are the coolest things! awoeurlwdfkjasdfjha3w4ui man....you gotta do some more of those.

As for the SPs. Keep doing them, they help a lot! I really don't think the last one looks like you though. It's extremely contour. Focus on the planes, and construction a bit more before you lay down defining lines. The line thickness seems even all over and it's taking away from the images weight...it's validity...the believablity of it. Try making the nose seem more like an object that exists 3 dimensionally...give it the Z axis..make it move back in space, the harsh lines around the bridge, and lack of any planes other than the one facing us takes away from it's depth, and importance of it being a crucial feature of the face. The nose rules...take advantage of that and make an awesome excellent snausage for us to witness.

hrmm I did an SP last night, not too happy with it but whatever...first shot giving it half an effort:

[mentler]

I agree the little life drawing thumbnails are very well done indeed!!

[one2hit]

It's kind of like what your quote in your signature says...the Loomis one. If you can see the tone and shadow on your own face, you can see the planes, the tones and shadows react to the way your face is shaped in the light. When you do SPs try to get in a place where there is one direct light source...I think that helps me. Like go to your bathroom, unscrew all the lightbulbs except for one, sit on a stool infront of your mirror and go. If you have one huge light hanging on the ceiling, try something else.

[Bojee]

Nate- Thanks for the comments, I'll work on it. Your first Self- Portrait is good, how long did you spend on it?? These little ones are just quick ones before I go to bed. :) I'll post more gestures soon.

Mentler- Thank you, Your presence on the boards is great. :) I hope your eye is better.

[one2hit]

a little over an hour, I think.

NUUuuuoooooooooooooOo!~ do some more portraits (#*@dammit! :blahblah: I crave excellent facial anatomy! I craaaaaaave it!! GIVE IT TO ME

[Michael78]

I really like the Demon with horns.. lots of life coming through! :wink: The Sp looks good too.. I read Nates comments. Maybe hell share some of the crit love over in my sketchbook :perv: :P Keep up the posting I think your one of the few on here who have a very distinct style. Its always interesting to see your work. :^^:

[Bojee]

Michael- thanks dude, lots of new stuff running around in my head right now, trying not to play it safe. Too easy only to post things that you like, I find it more honest to post all of it. Trying also to keep up with the daily part of the sketchbook too. Have you seen Mindcandyman's sketchbook ?? Man, very inspirational!
Glad you like the demon,seemed a little stiff to me but the next attempts will get better. Creature drawings are very new to me, with him I was trying to draw something less gaunt, thicker than my normal drawings.The creature by the waterfall was after i watched Carlos Huante draw a creature. The Self portrait was me thinking about pen drawings, looking at Hardcore pixx's work and also Andrew's self portraits, more amazing stuff. Thanks for the kind words bro, don't be a stranger.

[Sok N. Wett]

Your gesture type style is one of a kind, and that's good, you can probably add some paint on them, and sell it for millions. When it comes to creatures i'm still trying to get a hang of it, unlike Kekai who spews them out in a couple of seconds...lol, but yeah I'm riding the same boat with you on the creatures, but i'm cheating cause your doing all the rowing, i'm just along for the ride.

the Sp is better...as long as you struggle, as long as you strive, you can improve. If you really want it, you will really learn to see. I think the next step is to try and capture your likliness. No matter how stylized or insane Andrew Jones' stuff is, more often than not, you can tell it is him, because he puts down on paper as he looks in real life. Spend some time infront of a mirror, stare at yourself (in a non sexual way) Learn what you look like and what features make you, you. You're posting at a rapid rate, good for you bro! Keep going, see you saturday?

I still think your a pussy for not posting, as much as you're giving advice you could be doing your own sketchbook, quit being a voyeur and join in. :) Your giving out some good advice but also walk your talk. ;) Show me that your not just reading this stuff out of a book.

hey buddy. your = possesive. you're = you are

[eliWolff]

It's cool to see all the different styles you're trying out right now. I keep forcing myself to draw stuff I'm not comfortable with.. I'd rather just draw creatures, but I'm trying to draw realistic anatomy better, so I'm kinda opposite of you where your creature drawings are new to you.. ok I'm rambling now.. it's late and I should go to sleep instead of lurking online.. :dead:

oh, that latest SP looks great, but for some reason it looks squished to me.. like you drew it normal, then in photoshop scaled it horizontally about 15%.. weird..

Spend some time infront of a mirror, stare at yourself (in a non sexual way) Learn what you look like and what features make you, you. You're posting at a rapid rate, good for you bro! Keep going, see you saturday?

And Likliness= Likeness. ;)

[Bojee]

It's cool to see all the different styles you're trying out right now. I keep forcing myself to draw stuff I'm not comfortable with.. I'd rather just draw creatures, but I'm trying to draw realistic anatomy better, so I'm kinda opposite of you where your creature drawings are new to you.. ok I'm rambling now.. it's late and I should go to sleep instead of lurking online.. :dead:

oh, that latest SP looks great, but for some reason it looks squished to me.. like you drew it normal, then in photoshop scaled it horizontally about 15%.. weird..

Heh, yeah eli, I did I play with it in Photoshop.I mentioned it but your probably tired. :) Thanks bro.

[jetpack42]

I still think your a pussy for not posting, as much as you're giving advice you could be doing your own sketchbook, quit being a voyeur and join in. :) Your giving out some good advice but also walk your talk. ;)

ahahahahahha, yeah. and the thunderdomes too, nate, ehh???? mmhmmm???? hahaha, too funny alan.

This is a sweet thread. I always see you updating it when I'm up late at night...I always get my second wind around 11. I love your gesture drawings, always have. They are so fresh, and the way you emphasize things turns out really great looking. Something about the style doesn't seem...refined? solid? It's great, and I love it, but I think there is more there for you to discover, it doesn't seem complete yet.

And the portrait is great. I did like the black and white version better...because it looks like you adjusted the levels in photoshop. When I squint at both versions, the color one loses alot of contrast...it gets very washed out. i love all the reds and purples in his skin...you never realize how many reds and blues are in black people's skin until you really observe, its pretty awesome to see though, in your painting, and in life. The contrast in the black and white one works for me, if you could translate it into the color one I think the painting would be twice as successful...

Keep updating this...in about 2 weeks I'm going to start another sketchbook and we'll keep this thing real together, like the Hong Kong Danger Duo! you should get in on that too, nate....

sissy.


see you fellas saturday! woot!

[Bojee]

Jp- I agree bro, there's always more to discover, I agree about the painting too, I'm game about the sketchbook, we'll definitely fire each other up. These late nights are crazy, if i'm working time just seems to fly by. See you this weekend bro, we'll make it memorable. :)

[Bojee]

A small update tonight, a funny one from an old sketchbook of mine.

[Sok N. Wett]

I almost got scared that you didn't update, I'm like checking your threads like crazy, and I'm like where did he hide those pictures, and bam almost midnight you finally posted something, thanks for giving me a near fatal heart attack, caused by beans, the magical fruits, actually that wouldn't give me a heart attack would it.....

[Bojee]

I came home early just for you dude. Thanks for looking. See you tomorrow night. I wish I could see your posts to return the favor. Thanks bro. :)

Man, I wish I could still see your posts, sigh, one day again maybe. :)

[JadeDragon]

Wow! That is really cool work, Bojee! Those watercolors are beeeeyootiful!

Very unique. Id love to see you apply that watercolor technique over some of your non-from-life work.

I'll definitely be back for more! Cheers!~~~JadeDragon

Wow! New faces. Go away for awhile and hell I feel like a stranger. :) This thread is awesome. You have a great, unqiue line style going on. Very refreshing. :)

[Soja]

Hey Bojee!!
How u doin! I see u doin great! Ur new stuff is amazing man!
Still loving ur life drawings a lot!! The very cool!! The lines are very nice!
Keep it on man!!

[Bojee]

Soja- What's up bro,thanks for the visit, these last few posts I've been doing just the opposite, talkin but no work, not a big fan of scanning. Glad your keeping at it, I'm about to head over and see what you've been up to . Thanks for dropping by bro. :)

Hey I forgot to mention whoever gave me the stars thanks :) , very unexpected. I'll try to live up to it. :)

[flex mathews]

very cool work, i really like your life drawings with gouache. very fresh style and color.

[steak-tron]

man alive Bojee, those gestures are awe-some. Your pen-work is beautiful and I love how you fill in certain areas with gray tints.

the rest is cool stuff too, I really like how your doing your own thing. Fresh way of drawing with an honest presentation.

Keep em coming my man.
-steak

[Sok N. Wett]

Well since no one is taking the credit for giving you stars......I'll take it, I don't even know how the star thing works, but I gave ya a 5.

Star 1 - Creativity
Star 2 - Linework
Star 3 - Quality
Star 4 - Overall Presentation
Star 5 - Daily dedication
Fist of the North Star - OH YEAH!!!

[Bojee]

Flex mathews- Thanks I appreciate it, the life stuff is by far what I've done the most of.

Steak- Thanks dude, coming from you that's very high praise, your work's kind of new to me but I love what you've been doing lately. :)

Sok- Thanks for the check list :) I'll try to run through it more often, and thanks for the support bro, your starting to be a real presence on the boards. Can't wait for the next meeting. :)

Life drawing from today, didn't get much sleep last night but we had a great model so it made up for it. Nothing like forcing yourself to get up with a hangover or not enoough sleep or both to go to life drawing and then you have a shitty model and your thinking "man, I could be sleeping right now." anyway here you go .

I like your lines very much.They are so clear.

[Bojee]

Heartbeat- Thank you, thanks for stopping by. :) And I hope to see you posting more in your sketchbook. :)

[I.was.ink]

You have some very nice stuff here Bojee. I really like the distorted proportions of your pics. It adds a lot of character to em:)

I particularly like the drawings that are looser and have more broken lines.

I.was.ink.- Thanks , I kind of have trouble seeing my posts so would you mind describing which ones your talking about a little bit more so I can figure out which ones your talking about. i know it's kind of weird but I can't see posts that are hosted by photobucket. Thanks I appreciate it. :)

[Sok N. Wett]

Soooo that's how you got so many post, you reply individually.....Your very smart, S-M-R-T, smart.

[Bojee]

Sok- Heh, yeah one or two at a time, I try to stay on it so i don't have a long list, I'm a terrible typist. :)

[bwkeough]

I'm going to join the mob and say, "the gestures from life are killer!!"

what's interesting is that you don't seem to have the same easy confidence when drawing from your imagination (if I'm analyzing your lines and pencil marks correctly). The next time you work on a character design try starting with an imaginary gesture.

[Bojee]

bwkeough- Thanks, I agree about the work from my head, still kind of brand new to me so if they seem stiff I might be over thinking it, bottom line is I need to be drawing more so that they'll come more easily. Thanks for looking. :)

[Bojee]

Small post for tonight, this'll probably be another one where you say I think it looks better in BW, I played with the levels, Can't seem to get a decent shot at night. You got to love a catholic school girl outfit. I'll post the color version tomorrow. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v88/bojee/Sketchbook/kimbw2.jpg

[I.was.ink]

I'm talking about the first page in the post you did yesterday. There's two ladies on it posing. The broken lines and the way you let the viewer jump in and out of the figure is great. I say you keep going for those loose lines, they're soooo full of touch and sensitivity.

-ink

[cotron]

love your lifedrawings, so stylish... very nice shapes you got going on there. first time i've seen your book, i'll be stoppin back!

[Bojee]

I.was.ink- Thanks for the clarification, those are the quick ones and I like those too. 2mins each the other ones in that batch were 20s.

Cotron- Thanks man, I just checked out your stuff and i really like the graphic style of it, I like the way you compose pictures. Thanks for stopping by. :)

[nova]

these recent gestures have so much action in them.. the first one is my favorite! really awesome work

[eliWolff]

Your gestures are my favorites! They are exhagerated in just the right spots to be really interesting to look at, yet you can still easily can tell what the pose was..

[hurricane]

love the latest figures.... awesome way of handling the pen

great stuff man !
post more!!

Ohhh nice stuff.....You can feel the manliness coming out of him, no pun intended, I love the way you drew those quick unproportional drawings, it's a style of their own, it's like the lines drew themself into an alternate universe, where the real meets the surreal meets the meaning of life.....I don't know what I'm saying cause I'm high on Coke (coca cola & pepsi).

im very inspired by your gesture drawings. it would be so cool to do an animation with the way you draw your gestures....i got some ideas floatin around in my head now. thanks for sharing! <3

[Bojee]

brkofdon- Thanks, if you can use them somehow go for it, I'd love to see what you could do with them. :)

[eliWolff]

wow -- tons more gestures! I really gotta go to life drawing this weekend.. I hate the fact that I missed both days last weekend.. :nohope:

[Bojee]

It's not the same without ya bro. :) I was just thinking about you, your avatar's changed a few times today, can't find the right fit??

[eliWolff]

heh.. yeah I can't decide on a good avatar.. I keep getting new ideas and it's so easy to change it.. hopefully I'll find one I can settle on for a few weeks at least!

[Bojee]

Keep going it's pretty entertaining. :)

[xia]

I love the color on the last one! Beautiful choice of palette.

[Bojee]

Thanks Xia, gonna be needing a new update on your thread pretty soon. :)

[liam.c]

soo nice i love eveyr one of htem :)

[Bojee]

Liam- thanks dude, I love your work,man you draw well. :)

[Sok N. Wett]

Damn you Allen and your posting skills....I swear you posted to every thread that I posted in and more......I can't wait to get my 1000 post mark.....:)

[Dennal Floss]

Wow man !!
So free, so uninhibited, so wiggly !! I love your life drawings and collages. The digistuff is eyecandy, I got one fave from page one ( let u guess which one ). Keep working on the drawings from the brain, you got two visual worlds that seem to be reaching out to meet and I'm looking forward to the imminent collision.
Lotsa stuff in dat monkey brain.

[Sok N. Wett]

Guess who I got on my avatar....Duh Sok, he can see your avatar....ahh dammit shuttup brain.

[Bojee]

Sok- Heh, sometimes I think we're chasing each other. ;) Hey you got the flea as your avatar!!!! The perfect fit!!! ;) He's such a great character, heh, you are too! ;)

Dennal Floss- Heh heh, thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to that crash too!;) The out of the head stuff is still a bit new yet but i can feel things changing. :)
Thanks a lot dude, I really appreciate it.:)

[Zebz]

Crazy work, man! I love the strange lines you have. Your gestures are fluid and very different. I like them a lot. The paints are pretty nice. I'd like to see some of your more "proportioned" work as these seem exagerated, etc. So bring on some anatomy studies! You're sketching style is very cool tho. Try not to lose that but maybe just develop it a bit further. Render some a bit more? Just some ideas. Keep on truckin'. I'll be watching!

[Rusty]

mmmmmmmmm.lovely gouache studies bojee...just diggin those extreme poses too man.

Jace

[Bojee]

ZebzFree- Thanks dude

Rusty- Jace, thanks dude, i can't tell you how happy I am that I can see your posts again. :) Thanks for the kind words dude, I know I got a long way to go. :)

[Bojee]

Another catholic schoolgirl from last night. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v88/bojee/clothed%20figures/kym.jpg

painted big, 30''x40", could've used a lot more time on this one.

[steak-tron]

mmmmmm, I can't get enough of those figure drawings of yours. Normally I don't like my figures abstracted but you've struck gold with these. I've had the habit of always ignoring teachers when they say things like "go for the movement, or essence, of the figure". Since using the boards i've realised they are in fact important but you've done it in such a beautifully fluid and graphic manner. With only a few lines you descibe the direction the weights moving and noting the structure along the way. They look even better with the skin tones. Sorry if that sounds a little vague.

the school girl paints are looking good to but the cranium is too small, i.e. the eyes are too far up. If you added a little more hair to the last one it would look right.

I really enjoy your thread man, keep posting :teeth:

[Bojee]

Steak- Thanks bro, I'll see if I can get some more figure stuff up for you soon, sometimes I think posting is distracting me from my other work, sorry I'm slacking.
Your right about the portrait, I'll try to fix it, thanks for the help. Thanks for the inspiration too, your tearin it up over on your thread. :teeth:

[Sok N. Wett]

Hmm damn that schoolgirl is always there, I might just go to life drawing just to see her........or not.........maybe........great girl by the way, i mean painting.

[Bojee]

Sok- Thanks dude, heh, yeah you should show up, we got lots of cute girls posing, maybe that's how I should promote it to the group to get more people down there.:) It was a 2 week pose. That's why there was 2 paintings of her. :)

Some 20's from sunday, You'd like this girl too Sok! :)

Madoliane- Thanks, I kind of like those ones too especially the girl jumping for the stars but the client flaked on me. People can be soo fickle sometimes. :) I hadn't really thought about taking it further but I'll see what I can do, thanks for stopping by and good luck with the portraits. :)

[lowpolymatt]

I could sit and look at your gesture stuff all day......gah...

*jealous* ( In a nice way )

[Bojee]

Matt- Thanks, gestures are probably the most fun I have with any of this, less thinking and just doing. Are there a lot of drawing sessions where your at? And do any of them focus on Gestures? Thanks for looking bro, your tanks are looking sweet too.:)

[lowpolymatt]

Well, we're (my wife and I) currently in the process of finding a decent life class. The one we were going to wasn't really very good, So now we're looking for another. Hopefully something will turn up soon. My figure work needs a lot of improvement to be honest. For now though I'll stick to concepty stuff, a life class will come along soon im sure.

I have to say finding decent classes is one of the real pains here in London. Unfortunately a lot of art classes are aimed at the 90 year old oil painters and as such things like gesture classes a few and far between. Would love to come and have a go...but the flight every week might dry up my bank to quick ;)

Anyway, in my absence, you'll have to do more! So thats all worked out nicely then eh!

Keep it up man, great great work as always.
Matt

[Bojee]

Too bad, what we do isn't really a class, it's just an open session, we hire the models, people pay a fee ( $6) and then come and draw. We've got a couple of purely gesture sessions a month, and then vary the format of the other ones to work on things we need to work on. Is there anything like that in london? It seemed like when I was at the Tate or the National portrait galllery I saw and advertisement for one. Good luck on your search. :)

[one2hit]

whoa. I see improvements! <3 The gesture stuff owns me! and I love the sitting people. The schoolgirl on the large canvas was really cool, the only small problem I see with it, is in the jaw. It doesn't seem quite straight, there is a small distracting divit where the jaw meets the chin, not a big problem though. The painting session was cool, and thanks for letting me watch you guys, although I think I would have stayed at home if I knew my car was going to get broken into and all my shizzz was gonna get stolen :dead: hehe.

[Sok N. Wett]

Great gestures as always, so is gesture just really quick sketches of a certain pose, because your gesture drawings are so different from everyone else, I guess that's why it's stands out more than others.

Whoa Nate your car got broken into? Sorry to hear that, was it near the life drawing session? That sucks I had 2 friends that had their stuff stolen 4 times each person. It's a bummer when will people quit learning to steal....well I'm off to the store I gonna get myself some new pencils using my 5 finger discounts.

[winwinja]

Wow! Very impressive drawing style..
WOOOW

[Bojee]

Nate- sorry your car got broken into, where did you park? we haven't had any problems like that before.

Sok- I don't know if you were serious about the gesture question but they are just quick drawings while the model holds the pose for avery short amount of time, 1min, 2min, 3mins,I've done 30sec and 15 sec but they seem to work best after I've warmed up a bit. Not exactly sure why gestures are different than others, guess just the way I was taught and me trying to do the things I like in other peoples work, I was taught to break it down to the essentials, what about the pose and the model that makes it/them unique. thanks for stopping by.

[Bojee]

Win- Thanks :)

[mentler]

Wonderful loose figures and location sketches. A real Franklin Mcmahon feeling with a little Marbury Brown undertone. ~~~ but you are probably not that old! Great feeling of forms in space!

[one2hit]

right outside the gallery. maybe I left something in view but I don't think so. I'm not upset about it. It's just bothersome...if only that person would have waited for me to come out, I would have given them what they took. Then I wouldn't have to drive around cold. Brbrrrrrrr

[Bojee]

Mentler- Thank you, If I get to pick I think I'd lean more towards Marbury Brown, I love old school Illustrators. Bill Sienkiewicz was and is a big influence on my sketching style, I like Kent Williams and Dave McKean too. They both were influenced by Barron Storey. I also love Egon Scheile's work as well. Many others that are thrown into the mix and hopefully some of my own personality as well. :)

This isn't my work for any just tuning in, just talking about influences, this is Bill Sienkiewicz's work, if you haven't seen his sketchbook or comics seek them out.

Lol,yeah I know, funny stuff. :teeth:

[mentler]

I have that book ~~~ and I can't find it ~~~ going to have to clean studio now BUMMER! I was trying to think of Mckean couldn't dig it out of my brain, which is not surprising, lots of stuff stuck in there.

[Bojee]

Mckean's a stud too, have you ever seen "Cages". Do you know Barron Storey? He used to be a big time illustrator/teacher in new york, he's had influence over many artist out there now that I think are cutting edge. Dave McKean,Kent Williams, George Pratt, and countless others. Barron Storey Link (http://www.barronstorey.com/index.htm)

I saw your Fat Albert sketches right after I watched the trailer for the new live action Fat Albert movie.. why do they have to keep turning good cartoons into bad live action movies? Anyways, it'd be cool to see your take on Fat Albert.. but isn't that cartoon from the 70s? :blahblah:

[Layil]

Dude i LOVE your style!! its some of the most original stuff ive seen on CA. You color guache stuff is awsome and makes me want to try it out. Keep it up!

[Bojee]

Layil- I hope you try gouache , it's a blast, the color you can get is great , the only thing you need to remember is that it'll dry lighter than it looks. It's fast too. Thanks for the kind words , can't wait to see what you do with it. :)

Edit:lol, gender correction,My bad ( I thought bengal was a girl :nohope: ) I saw your self-portrait thread a long time ago and really dug it but didn't make the connection.Great stuff, now to check out your sketchbook

[Sok N. Wett]

So where can i get these gouche at, and what is it. I wanted to try some EL Coro's technique and i guess gouche is one of the stuff I need, and ink wash, so is ink wash, ink and alcohol, or is it ink and added water, any why is it that I have a pair of left shoes on.......find out on the next episode of "What's Krazy Sok going to do next"

I wish Bengal was a girl, cause that girl on the avatar is Hot, with a capital DAMN!

[Bojee]

Lol, Damn Sok, you leave the best laugh out loud posts of anybody on the boards. Thanks dude. :) Lol, that's some funny shit. :)

Oh yeah, Goauche is an opaque watercolor real easy to find. :)

Hey Eli, I forgot to respond to your last post, not exactly sure why they can't leave well enough alone except for $, bill cosby's supposed to be involved so maybe it'll be good. Fat Albert ran until 80, not sure if I'll have time to work on it though. Yours is looking good. :)
