[mentler]

I feel better that you are here ::: that is the first step in the cure :::

I make house calls ::: beware of the uncreative, the often carry the POX

Ey mate, you`ve made a few leaps and bounds since you`ve been over `there`. Your visualisations are fermenting nicely, looks like you`re pulling your flavour into some thing quite demented =D

[haiku]

Hey Eyal,
Really uniuqe stuff you got there, i love the way your imagination works.

[Muttonhead]

Wow, great work. Love your ideas and your style.
Your figure studies are really strong and show an excellent grasp for structure.

I would love to see you rubberize and stretch your figures more.

Also, lets see some of the characters in an environment (I'm one to talk, hehe), but it would be cool to see....

I will keep checkin up on your thread.

-Sean

[Eyal]

sorry slow updates lately
its not that i havent been working tho!
thanks to everyone who have replied

here's a bunch of more stuff, some are old enough (like over a week) that i really dont like them by now.

http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad1.jpg
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad2.jpg
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad3.jpg

a collab with mr. joel "im actually always late" early. may dig deeper into this one sometime
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad4.jpg
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad5.jpg

a different collab with mr. daniel actually-i-dunno-his-last-name. it came out pretty well for a first collab with this guy, even if a little out of control
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad6.jpg

random silly heads. next time bigger, i promise
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad7.jpg

http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook/dec8_skpad8.jpg


ill make another update tomorrow, probably last until next semester

[Eyal]

obviously, no update
got caught up with pre-flight arrangements and it just didnt work out

so may be the last update until next semester starts, as i have no scanner here at home. but i may figuer something out yet...
if not so happy holidays everyone, and thanks for stopping by

[|NTeRN]

sweet stuff!!! ever check out lonos sketch book thread. your two's art style and general topic is pretty close. anyways keep it up. awesome stuff

[Sketch]

Nice work. I like how I can see how you work through a drawing. You're lifedrawing is really impressive.

[Zebz]

You mentioned earlier in this thread how the more you draw the more it scares you how messed up your head is. I notice that in some of my stuff too. I'm often reluctant to draw things because of it. But it's more what I'm afraid other people might think! LoL I wanna show my mom my sketchbook but I'm afraid she'll commit me! If girl already things I'm freakin' nuts! lol We are just warped people livin' in a cracked out fantasy world. But we love it, don't we? :confident

The life drawings are lookin' really strong. Keep at those. I like how you're still workin' on figure stuff and distortin' it and such. Don't be afraid to push those values though. You can get darker! Keep it up, you're sketchbook is lookin' mighty nice!

[Eyal]

im back to school now, so here's a bunch of new stuff ive done over the break

i used my time mostly to do my digital stuff, and less drawings
but workshop has put me on such a crazy wave of drawing
maybe its the remains of all the redbull we consumed?

workshop was *amazing*
just un fucking believable

id appreciate it if people replied just for sake of splitting the download size on several thread pages. this is really starting to sum up.. thanks.

[MoP]

Cool stuff Eyal! It was good seeing you in SF... you crazy man. Some of these sketches really freak me out... The selfportraits especially! >:D
It seems the workshop put everyone on drawing overdrive... I know I didn't have any Red Bull there and I'm drawing more than ever now... heheh

Keep it up!

[Eyal]

hey was great seeing you too man, my pleasure
hope you made it back in time for tea and biscWITS
ye feels like the workshop gave everyone a big push! just be sure to stay on the wave!

[Eyal]

http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook05/jan27_skpad2.jpg

[Main Loop]

cool, i like your shading technique.. looks inspired by lukias

[poopinmymouth]

Awesome work man, you rock me. But less traditional and more digital!!

8-)

[Eyal]

main loop: good call!
its kind of an impatient approach to rendering, i just hatch all over the place. i dont feel i have a solid rendering technique yet tho, it is slowly firming together i hope.

http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook05/jan27_skpad5.jpg

Lovely, (weird) characters you do with your pencil.
Admire your faces and the emotions you get within.

More!

[anna]

did Benjamin saw it?

[Pichuerca]

nice rendering man!

Practice a bit the hands! I guess for the fat ugly woman drawing where you didn´t finished her and and you decided to cut it. ;)
Becareful with the proportions in some sketches, above all be careful the length of the characters in relation with his arms.

Keep it

[Eyal]

pichurca: thank you for your comments. absolutely right, i noticed it myself i tend to make the arms too long often. sometimes its intetional but sometimes its not and i should deffinately pay more attention

leonard: thank you too man :)

[Eyal]

open lens shooting project thing i went kamikaze on
"do anything u want" is always a good project topic

[Xaya]

Weird! and because of it is a pleasure for me to look at those pages!

I don´t have to say that you have a great anatomical understandness,
also that you rendering is more than interesting.

It is also nice to see that not all pages are filled with top notch placement of graphite.

Morro ähh... more please!


-Xaya

[HappyelToro]

Very nice

[mos667]

Very cool stuff, I'm addicted!!

[vantrum]

great work.... i love your mix of style and tight proportions. any advice on how i can learn to draw faces better?

[Eyal]

xaya: "understandness" lol :) thank you, but hardly
mos667: ill try and post small doses

heres a not-really-so-concluding conclusion to the hands workshop i took this week
i wanted it to be about passions in life, and love and sacrifies
things that have been on my mind recently
but it just looked too gay.. so final thing is quite pointless

ye ive seen flex's stuff,
cant see what u'r talking about tho

[Keepiru]

Damn, I feel like I need a shower after looking at some of the stuff on this thread. You have quite the imagination! This stuff is really great, keep it up!

[Eyal]

goach thingy

http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook05/mar23_skpad1.jpg

[miracola]

dude,

I am so lovin' your sketchbook. Go make a book of your sketches and tell me where to send the money bro. I'd buy a book of your work in a heartbeat! So much raw energy and talent. Great stuff.

jeff

[Ryu]

Yup, nice sketchbook... I saw you go to school (art school i presume), so could i ask for how much time do you draw ?

Very nice stuff, i especially liked your hand work, the first one with the head in the middle is gorgeous, love the way you shade (btw, any insight on how you do that ? :p )

Ryu: honestly, I have no idea. I just enjoy making lines?

Here's sometihng a little different now.
The ""environment"" sketch from a few updates ago, now being worked as a WIP scene painting for a school project.
This is the Goodly state, where the birds chirp, the water stream, the romansque is in the air.
Dont worry though, I am not french, it will all rott and die at the end, just need to paint some other shit first...

A little thing, I think it ended up looking like a lot a Manley style, hmm.. I should watch out for that. Since it's pretty much my first ""painting"", I can let it go for now.
Color theory critiques will be great appreciated, don't hold them in if you've got them please.

Was supposed to be a Noble, Love-craft novles creature. I dunno this lovercraft, so its just a creature who likes sugar and to spoil himself with sweets and fancy clothes. Or something like that :?

I love your pencil work shotgun, and I really enjoyed looking at your latest bunch. One critique I have though, is of your design choices. Almost all the interest of these pieces comes from the sheer oddity or weirdness. I'd really like to see you try to make a piece that doesn't rely so much on being "odd" and just focused on aesthetic appeal. I don't mean a tit queen or a brad pitt drawing, but something that someone would be able to call beautiful, something that wouldn't wierd out a 40 year old woman who wasn't an artist, if that makes any sense.

These are nice, I just don't know what you are trying to develope with them, other than rendering style and freeing your design choices.

[Eyal]

Oh, I don't understand why you are looking for anything behind my sketchbook pages. there are very few "lets design something" drawings here. Those drawings are part of a journey to my inside.

My drawings serve no purpos except as lines I expressed on the paper.

Beyond that, I am focusing on anatomy, rendering, proportions, prespective, ability of visualation, and...character. There are probably more, but you got the point.

I am not selling these to anyone (although as Miracola replied recently - some find it appealing), these are my own thoughts and emotions that I share here. Sometimes, they follow a more "commercial design" path. Mostly,...
it's like a well you are digging into, deeper and deeper into the earth. At one point the water (or brainmatter, whatever) will burst out and many many water will spray above your head. All you can do is to catch as many as you can...
I'm not even trying to put them together right now, just collect them. But I keep them meanwhile, and sometimes, I will put them together as a design. That process is also a skill I have to develop, no doubt.

Thanks for the comment.

[Eyal]

Back to the sketchbook.
I didn't get to draw a lot lately because of school.
Fuggit!

More weirdyness from land of the delicate blueberries, levelling faires and snub hunting psychedelies

and today, abu loogoo, the snub master.

EDIT:
Scanned some more.
I'm trying to focus a little bit and have more "content" behind these. Slowly, it will build.. I hope?
Abu Loogoo, btw,is still being revised and rendered to death.

*updated below

[thebluepuppy]

i love your tradtional portraits, nice werk.

[dadamafia]

i love this stuff bro. ill bee frequentin this thread.

[theguy]

Study simple shapes. You're understanding of value doesn't come through in your concept pieces. That's one huge difference between your life drawings and your concept. :yawn:

[Eyal]

Thank you John.
This is the best feedback I've heard in a while, very true..
You have found the folly in my algorythem ;)

Here is a pretty much finished version. I may work the background a little more if I have more time later, I have had to move on to other "families"

The Magdalena Sisters

[Sartell]

Figured I would take the honors~*

I'm too excited to tell you how happy i'm gonna be when you fully get back into this SB~*
It'll take some time but the life you've always had in your drawings will only expand. Pimping is a must:}

Stumbled onto this from the Workshop thread, and...Whoa! Another casual virtuoso with a demented imagination. I'd really like to see more color stuff. About the only critique I could think of is that I'm left wanting a more 'finished' feel.

[ArtZealot]

nice pencil rendering skills, i'd love to see some more digitals if possible. usually someone who can pencil as well as you can do digital even better. this one: http://webspace.ringling.edu/~eshoham/sketchbook05/apr15_skpad2.jpg would be awesome if it was colored up in photoshop. keep it up man.

[ChromaticCodex]

I can haz an update? :(
