Look at and make fun of my sketches (8/31 )

[winjer]

Im making a new sketchbook thread. Check it out dawg. ill update this once every month.

[loomer]

Hells no! You will update this every week!
These are nice...you have good control of your lines...I wish I had that.

- just sketch like a madman and post your shit so we can make fun of you, praise you, kiss your ass, crit you, tell you to study Loomis and Bridgman, etc, etc....it'll be grand :confident

[romance]

These are great! I don't have any reason to make fun of them...yet. Keep posting so I can find one.

[winjer]

Heres some stuff from this month.

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/8.jpg

I draw batman a lot when i have no inspiration... I think its because I have a fantasy of beating down and terrorizing punks

[winjer]

two from the park.

[loomer]

those two from the park are quite elegant and beautiful....nice job man.
I am really feeling the first one...really great breakdown of the big simple shapes.

- I also really dig the dude blowing stuff out of his mouth. It reminds me a bit of James Jean...but I don't know why, cause nothing very JamesJean is popping out. Whatever..it's a great sketch..

- Are ya gonna come to Art Out Loud at the Society? hope to see ya there

[Steph Laberis]

I'm not gunna make fun of your drawings. Sorreh.

But I will leave some feedback! Your canary and your crane appeals to me most, you're exploring with your cross hatching and thus they feel the most solid. Also, nice gesture on the canary's body; very sexy linework! You statue studies would benefit from that same sensitivity of form, since they read as very flat as they are.

The chesire cats feel cliche, I've seen him in every 15-20 year old's sketchbook ;) Batman needs a lot of anatomy help, from the plane of his chest pointing inward to his tiny hips. I know this was just a doodle, but dig up some refs for the next one! ^_^

[winjer]

Willow-whisp: Hey thanks for the crits. I never noticed the flaws in batman til you mentioned them. I havent been to life drawing in a few months.. need to go back..

Loomer: That thing probably looks like james jean work cuz i look at his work too much. Ive found that if someones work is interesting enough i start to see little bits of them popping up in my work. I hope it doesnt get too bad, I dont want to be one of the james jean clones. Thats pretty embarassing.

[l.e.b]

winjer your shading is really good, it really brings out the work youve done. the cat in a suit has a quality expression >:D

[darkchild]

Those two sketches from the park are cool. Nice, clean and clear. Great work on them. Your creatures are well done, but your anatomy needs a bit of work. Batman has a bit of a big head and he doesn't seem to have his cowl on. Great work so far. Please keep posting.

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/11.jpg

Did this for school. I think its cool so im posting it here.

First two are from almost 9 months ago i think. the bottom one i did yesterday at life drawing. It was good to go back. about 30 minutes.

[AmishCommy]

hey hey,

I gotta scan in your bad ass rock (or waht's left of it) from the park.
Oh yeah, Nells and I are planning to go boozing after the Jazz session this Thursday. Just giving you a heads up.

[winjer]

Amish- yeah thursday drinking will be sweet. I have no classes the next day. I think some sva chicks might come too.

Heres some more life drawings for my immense fanbase to look at.

[vigostar]

yeah.. wooww.... oohhh- and a hole lotta ahhhs.... looking good... just post..

[AmishCommy]

check out waht i just found:

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[winjer]

damn now everyone knows im that guy in the back with the thick emo glasses. whos that guy in the front with the messed up hair. what a loser

[AmishCommy]

that girl in the front with Black hair is Natelie Ascencios, she's one of my heroes. I'm pissed off noone told me.

[winjer]

thats wierd i was talking to her. I thought she was a student somewhere.

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/20.jpg

Im avante garde now

[AmishCommy]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/12.jpg
boreddd..self portraitBWAHAHAHAHA!!!! nice glasses foureyes!!!

[winjer]

yeah those are cool people glasses

[winjer]

I did these in natalie ascenscioseses class today. The chick in that pic isnt her.

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/21.jpg

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/22.jpg

[loomer]

Natalie Ascencios is teaching at SVA now? cool..good illustrator.
Those life drawings are looking real good...are you taking McMullan or Gaffney?
I gotta get me some of those cool people glasses...even if I don't need em

[AmishCommy]

HOLY SHIT!!!! i gotta come sit in on one of the classes.

[winjer]

i dunno if youd get anything out of it commy. She teaches basic stuff to the second year, like proportions and gesture. Im not really in her class, i just go there to draw.

loomar i am taking babboni who also teaches the high focus drawing. Ill try to sneak in to gaffneys classes too. Im developing a habit of bumming around sva going into classes im not in. Im in one class thats supposedly for juniors and seniors only. Its pretty fun.

[loomer]

Smart man..sneak in to all the awesome classes. the teachers will almost never mind. I had Rob..he's good, but I did prefer Gaffney. I kinds related to him more, and I think he's a superior draftsman.

post some more shit man..you gotta have like 8,000 life drawings already!

[winjer]

arff. i might finish this. someday.

[winjer]

i made these

[AmishCommy]

are these from last night? Those hands are awesome. I love waht you leave out as much as the stuff you put in.

[Snowsfall]

Stop making your heads so big some of the time, it looks silly.
oh and you should grow your fro back like in that picture, so I can laugh at you and stuff.

[winjer]

nah commie there was no drawing done last night. Those are from in class today.

Ok cameron ill make my heads a normal size. I started doing that one night and i found it funny but yeah now it happens unintentionally. My fro is growing back since i dont get haircuts, so no worries there. Ill look insane soon enough. Maybe i should come to your drawing class. Got any on friday or thursday?

[Snowsfall]

try tuesday, but that class is painful, the teacher knows next to nothing.

[winjer]

[loomer]

Send those fuckers into the New Yorker already...
great hands on these....

[Mikko Voipio]

Hello. Nicely done figures here. Would like to see more. Maybe more "finished"
ones too.

[AmishCommy]

Maybe more "finished" ones too.

yeah totally,

and why the hell are you using tone and negative space to imply shape? are you too lazy to finish shit?!?!

[winjer]

yeah totally,

and why the hell are you using tone and negative space to imply shape? are you too lazy to finish shit?!?!


yeah god damn you im too lazy to finish stuff. Whats the point. Maybe next year ill finish some stuff for a portfolio. Ill enroll in jacob collins atelier and make some photorealistic stuff.

[vigostar]

Good idea.. Maybe go to Walmart and buy some skills while your at it!!!! Joking... after yesterday i had to hit you with something... good stuff dude.. keep on working..

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/gawd.jpg

this is a gay elf god.

[~Faust~]

Your line work is very clear and confident I like it! Great anatomy studies so far.

I'm sorry I don't find anything to make fun of :).

[winjer]

heres one i worked on for more than 30 minutes.

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/33.jpg

[Bad Brownie]

I gotta say, I like what you're showin' here. Love the figure sketches.

I've said this on a lot of posts, but I'll say it again cuz I'm proud: I went to SVA for a little while! (well, I took a class.) Decided to go to opposite coast.

There, I said it and I feel cool.

Anywho. yea, fix batman...everything else I just love.

I'll stop in and check up on you later...when you post.

[Snowsfall]

Whoa that almost looks finished. You should try to finish more things.
That said it took me awhile to realize that it was a leg on that log, and the girls right hand is pretty huge. I think rendering the closet bird would of helped, It's attracting alot of attention now since it is such a large dark shape.

[AmishCommy]

ya dude, you tottaly have to cut out this whole "spending time on things" deal. totally working against you.

[loomer]

Ill enroll in jacob collins atelier and make some photorealistic stuff.

you are the funniest motherfucker ....I cracked up when I read that.

that last piece almost looks like a woodcut.kinda cool
i also like elfgaygodgay

Do you have to submit any finished work in right now? I forgot who your principles of illustration teacher is now. Don't they usually have you do a piece every 3 weeks? Are you hiding stuff from us!?

ok- hopefully i'll get out of my habitat and sketch with y'all sooon

-

[cbalaskas]

Not bloody bad Winjer. I agree with Snowsfall on the bird and the hand, I like the placement of blacks on his cape, and I think dumping the cross-hatch in the forest canopy in favor of bolder blacks would strengthen the composition. I dig the stylie bark work dude.

Loomer, you ghost, come play with us on Sunday! (I know, there are no days off from being a daddy.)

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/34.jpg

This is my first gouache painting. Its terrible but whatever ill post it for some crits. Its supposed to be Bush but it looks like star wars or something.

loomer: yeah i have a finished illustration in my room that i havent posted and im not gonna. The woodcut one was for my history of illustration class.

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/35.jpg

[AmishCommy]

what the hell dude?!?!! that reaks of personal style!!!! get back to tirelessly copying plaster casts and drawing cute anime characters.

ass!!!

[winjer]

damn youre right. Do you think anyone makes plaster casts of the dragonballs characters?

[loomer]

george bush looks mad old there...and kind of adorable
are you working on some toned paper now? try some some white highlights with a pastel pencil...it's fun

- there' gotta be more stuff..we all know you are sketching like a madman lately...when you aren't terrorizing CA.org Challenges ;)

[winjer]

Loomer: yeah i draw and paint all day now but i suck so much that i only make something decent like once a month....

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/drapery2.jpg

[Snowsfall]

and theres your once a month decent thing, is that the same one you showed me earlier? I can't tell if you worked on it more.
My only crit is to maybe thow some shadows or something behind it so we can see what its resting/hanging on.

[ApolloNuevo]

wow, your figure studies are SO fluid. love em... and that drapery study at the end is making me jealous.

keep posting!
-apollo

[cbalaskas]

Last two pieces are tight man. Excellent mass and weight, and I really dig the light and shadow in the drapery study. Later mate.

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/36.jpg

quick sketch for an illustration project

[loomer]

drapery study is quite beautiful sir! It almost looks like it could be a Jacob Collins underpainting! Maybe you have more in common with Mr.Collins than you think! I can can see you at the Water Street Atelier...ah yes.

Diggin' the sketch too....I especially like the drips. I absolutely love drips...why do they look so effin' cool?

can't wait to see how you SVA vs. CCAD comes out :)

[styler]

the illustration project is pretty tight, nice stuff

[johnnyhotrod]

you might have some info ive been looking for. Where can someone get a job just drawing illustrations and what kind of education is needed?

Love the art keep drawing and ill keep looking>
johnny

[winjer]

Loomer: thanks i am practicing to secretly be an academic master.

Johnny: the only education you need is knowing how to draw well. Maybe some painting skills too. As to where you can get a job doing illustrations.. try searching online job boards. My school has its own one and I just kinda luck into them.

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/37.jpg

events transpired in my life that led up to me attending this pyramid scheme. I wonder if the people who come up with that shit burn in hell. How depressing. But i did manage to draw through it all. I misplaced johnny lees eye, but im surprised i got anything down at all in the midst of that shit.

[timpaatkins]

Hey Winj-man, sup? I like your Mick Jagger, and the live ones you did Oct. 5. They have a nice stylization. Develop that shit man, just to see where it takes you.

this might have been a 2 minute, but probably more like 5. i cant remember

[poise]

hey Shiraj,
I just came across your SB, and wow!! you have some really good sketches/drawings. I don't know if I asked you this, but how long have you been going to art school? The way you draw really reminds me of how people drew in my college, but I like it a lot that is why I went there, :)
You have really nice lines dude keep it up :)

[winjer]

hey tiffany ive been drawing since i was 19, and ive been going to art school for like 3 years now if you count the stuff i did at the art students league. Been at SVA for a year and a half

[AmishCommy]

you gonna come draw with us today or are you continuing your anti-social streak.

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/45.jpg

hmm... i havent drawn any monkey fights or elven fantasy in a while. this sketchbook thread is so boring... ill try to fix that....

[loomer]

glad to see you posting this here. Like I already said before - I think there's a lot of smart decisions going on here, especially differentiating between hard, bony forms and soft fleshy parts. I also like all the working inside the figure...
For the first time though..I see what McMullan was sayin about indulging yourself. Your line quality is really progressing beautifully, and I think you may be using this as way to avoid other figurative problems. I realize the repeated line is a bit of searching, but I think you kinda like the way it looks. One thing Sam Martine told me (I used to go his class a day or two after high focus) was to just put the fuckn line down and be done with it. One of the greatest things he told and I'll never forget it "An innaccurate line put down with integrity is stronger and better than a more accurate line with no integrity behind it." And it looks better to - it even looks MORE correct. I think you are at the point where you can make your decision, make your mark and move on.
I dunno...just a though I suppose.Either way..its' a really good drawing.

[Jens]

wow, i should check this thread more often, you're on to something with this sketchbook! I like your strokes and also this drawing http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/7.jpg

more! :D

HaHaHaHa! Your drawing are weird looking!!! Ha Ha Ha! I'm making fun of them! So strange and stra...nnnge... yea!!! Sorry.

Thes are really great, Winjer. Nice to see all of the experimentation going on in this thread. You're really bustin' chops to try and mess around in different ways. There's even some sculpture type stuff up in here! Grrrrreat work! Love to see more updates. Keep at it.

[seba_boi]

I was gonna make fun of your sketches, but that would be playing a bad joke on myself... :D :D :D Youse got the skills!!! You have good figure drawings too... Post often!...

[AmishCommy]

hahaha - nice use of lensflares. post the non-blinged out version.

[spoonbender]

The sweeping lines of your figure studies are marvellous, they give them a certain graphic almost comic book quality, your sketches have a lovely exaggerated life to them it's a little sinister makes me think of the Lemony Snicket film.

[winjer]

http://winj.kicks-ass.net/DSB/49.jpg

this was actually drawn without me looking at the paper. thats why it exudes so much badassity. also i now have stars bitch. STARZZZZZ

[loomer]

You are killing me..my laughing is actually waking up the baby...did you actually write 'asian' over that sketch?!
You're insane..I love it. I just saw the beautiful Arkady portrait in his SB...
I actually dig that lil superman looking dude..kinda would be cool to see a slimmed down, not looking like a barrell chested freak version.

an eye i painted with 3 colors

[embee]

Your sketchbook is awesome *bookmarked*
Yor lines on the lifedrawings are so dynamic...
The pic of the eye isn't sharp enough... looks like a photo though.
The one you did without looking at the paper of course doesn't look naturalistic, but is great, It has sme very nice style somehow.

I'll sure come back here.
