WoW cool stuff man... loving ure style and some of the expressiveness in the faces. It reminds of the style from a Gorillaz music video.. its really cool.

Theres no need to put all of ure stuff into a fancy mount.. just throw down all ure sketchbook pages and people dont care.

Excellet start and welcome to the CA.org daily sketgchbooks.. :D

[aesir]

Damn! I never saw this thread before. I love your characters. I've gotta try and emulate your style a bit in my own drawings :)

[van]

Damn! I love it all. I gotta pick your brain now. How do you go about head construction? I see your construction lines but I am not sure how you are using them.

:D

[IanE]

I, too, am interested in the question Van presents...

Your style is very awesome, everything looks great! I think the way you construct your bodies, namely the heads, is what makes it so unique and cool.

Very awesome work, man! Can't wait to see more!

*dumbpost*

[PHATandy]

The first set of pictures in your last post are awesome.. there alot more realistic compared to the others in term of shape and form. I wouldnt mind seeing more of them, i find them alot more detailed and not so cartoony, youve got an ace style there. Its a pleasure to few your works (if only there would be more :D) keep posting man, looking forward to more.

[Sketch]

Damn man. I've seen most of these already but they still make me say YEEEEAAAAHHHH! You're starting to be a big insipiration for me man. What are you putting in that coffee on Sunday?

[Warhead82]

Shiit d000d, i have always loved your work, just like everyone else, and it is a big inspiration to me also. :D keep it comin mate.

[cburt]

man, you've got some great style here. the expressions on those faces are so cool. i just left someone else a pretty similar comment to this one, but i feel like your characters have a real context to them and a real history. they feel like they each have a story rather than just being a costumed creation. thats really admirable. i look forward to seeing some more of your work. keep it up

[goflamesgo]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments,it really inspires me to draw more. :confident
Anyways,Sketch,it must be the marble cake from blenz,its the best. :wink:
Honestly,I guess it's just all the hours of drawing things over and over that got me to the point I'm at,but I still have a looooong way to go,and alot of stuff to learn...

Anyways,thanks for your comments,as for your questions,feel free to ask anytime,and I'll give my opinion when I can. I am not the best or anything,but I will give tips or my method if someone asks for help(If I got the time that is :wink: ).

Anyways,IanE,Van,here is a dumb tutorial that I made today. I hope it helps you out... :perv:
head tutorial (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/mcberns/Rjohns-dumb-head-tutorial.jpg)

R'john

[Sketch]

thanks for the tutorial, Rjhon. I like how simple you made it. There's some things in there I've never heard before.... I've done a couple heads this morning and your guidlines seem to be giving me some interesting results. Just have to fine tune them. Also could you make a simple ass tutorial on how you do bodys? That would help my dumb ass out.

See yah later on today man... this time I'm getting some marble cake!

[dadamafia]

funky thread dude. im lovin the stuff.

[mentler]

Solid *****

[goflamesgo]

Hey guys,thanks for your comments. I'll try to do some body tutorials when I get the chance. Anyways,heres stuff I did today with the vancouver sketch group.

[goflamesgo]

here's some sketches...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/mcberns/warmups.jpg

the sketches have nothing to do with reading rainbow,I just wanted to ask that...

R'jizzle

[SeraphSword]

Very cool stuff man. You should post more often. And who doesn't remember reading rainbow? I wonder if Levar Burton ever got another gig? :wink:

[rodrigo!]

i love art that has so much movement and energy in it, i wish i cud capture that with my own stuff
thanks for sharing!!

[Sketch]

hey man, I love the TeenWolf!

[goflamesgo]

seraphsword,come on,we all know that levar burton went on to bigger and better things...like that christmas special he directed where whoppi goldberg became santa clause...hehe ;)

[thirdeye]

Hey,

Just discovered your sketchbook - all I want to say is - WOW !!!!

Great style. Cool characters.

I want MORE !!! :)

Take care,
3rdeye

[Undertow]

as usual great stuff! Next month I'm planning on spending a weekend up in Vancouver with my wife, I'll have to get the details of where and when you guys all hang out to draw up there. BTW, are you working for anyone right now? If not it's a crying shame that you're not regularly drawing a book. A writer friend of mine that used to work for Dark Horse is looking to hook up with an artist. If you're interrested let me know and I can put you in contact with him.
-Mike

p.s. I have a guess as to how you got your name. Church sign reads "God says that we should cheer our enemies. Go Flames Go!" Just a guess, you either hate Calgary, or love them;) So how about that NHL season?:/

[goflamesgo]

hehe,I'm a former flames fan. I lost interest in the game,but when they got to the playoffs,the excitement came back. I used to love them as a kid...I was lucky enough to be a fan when they won the cup...Mike Vernon was the best,I wanted to be like him and some player named bozak...I don't hate them,but I don't love em. As for the salary cap,its kind of ridiculous how much the players want. But I'm not really in the know when it comes to those matters,so I can't really say anything intelligent about the issue. What I do know is,its a shame they couldn't save the season...

Adrien Clarkson,proposed that they give the stanley cup to the best girl team in Canada...yeah right!!!
