Lung's Chazzwazzers: [+17] return of the crud / feb 24

[Lung_bug]

got the scanner back, finally can start this thing... here's a few oldies for starters (have to keep the best ones for site but these are as good). the pencil scans horribly so i think i'll experiment with ink later on. anyways:

[StephenC]

rendering is sweet gots that wes9000 feel to it

[nor]

love these!

[Aveh]

wow, good stuff lung. i heard you talkin about you were gunna make a daily sketchbook, just didnt know when. im really impressed. My favorite ones are the monster page and the car studies next to it. I like when people show pages like that. kinda shows what they went through tryin to learn somethin. reminded me of seb's sketchbook. you should post some of your other study pages.

[rimwalker]

Very nice sketches, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to when your site goes active.

[Lukias]

Real nice Lung. Now you give me another thread to constantly check!
Is the first post all ref work??.
The last is a obviously concept/personal and is primo.

Keep em coming man.

PS I was just talking with my folks about cruisen through Croatia sometime this year or early next... after I travel around Northern Europe etc.
Have to keep you in mind eh.

[metalwinds]

wow, really nice stuff.. . i cant believe youre only 17. got any concept stuff for us?

[behemot5]

very good drawer.....very good....i like your pics...
:btu:

[Lung_bug]

thank you all for the nice replies

stephenc: yeh wes most definitely had a tremendeous influence on me

aveh: seb rules. will do

lukias: yeah it's all ref work, trying to work purely from life lately. building up a mental database, mastering the pencil technique and stuff. cruisin thru croatia eh? that would rule!

metalwinds: concepts... sure. i'll post some tomorrow or the day after

---

the planned diversity went to hell as it rained today and i couldn't go out of the house, so here's some more random junk and old stuffs:

[Wolvie]

Sweet.....

[feeb]

Hack.

[Aveh]

good stuff once again lung. i love that page with the cars and
back studies. Were those first pages ref'd from life or images?

[metaphysiks]

damn, you have some amazing things going on man. i have one question, in croatia do u get to work from a nude model in high school. your figures are really strong for being so young
keep it up and hope to see more
chris

[Lung_bug]

aveh: the mechanics page was from Prometheus' photo, and the second one was doodling for warmup
metaphysiks: actually we have no art classes in high school whatsoever. we had four semesters of art history and that's about it. i'd kill for a life drawing class

all from mind today, btw

[nor]

great sketch dump!

[jester]

Just as Lukias said - another sketchbook to check regularly. I especially like the pages where one can see your thought process. Great work, really!

Jester

[morphine]

Gotta save'm!
Gotta save'm all!!

[Lukias]

holy shizm!
Great to see some studies, I'm (well was 10 days ago and will soon) really getting into the study stuff myself. Funny for the amount of ref work I've done I'm starting to wonder how much of it I have been retaining and how much I'm simply copying... if you catch my drift.

The non ref'd pieces are primo man, seems to me you retain the info pretty damn well!.

Keep em coming hot shot!

[metaphysiks]

hey man its pretty incredible to have no life drawing and be pretty good with the figure. keep up the work. i was wondering if you could give me a crash course on coloting sketches in photoshop, im having a lot of trouble, maybe run through your process, can be just text.
thanks
chris

[Nimrod]

/me dies

I'd like to think this might inspire me to make my sketchbook more like this... I don't do nearly enough study work there (although I can calm myself down by telling myself I am in regular lifedrawing classes).

Thx d00d keep it up, don't let us get lazy!

[Lung_bug]

jester, morphine, nimrod- thanks :)
lukias: that's why i'd like to go to a life drawing class... i have a feeling it sticks better that way
metaphysiks: sure thing, i'll post some in a couple of days, maybe tomorrow even

---

today i slept in late, then a friend came and i had no time to draw at all :bash: . we saw some dvd's (attack of the clones, enemy at the gates, shiri), so you might recognize some of these in the sketches soon.

here's a little doodle i did at the cafe, 20 minutes ago
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/skcafe.jpg

lots of stuff tomorrow, i promise :D

[seb]

you're a monster... in the best way of course.

you make me want to hit the sketchbook even harder... you young punks are making me feel silly. heh

mike

[Lung_bug]

i lost another sketchbook damn :crosseyed:
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/sk070.gif

[rubygenesis]

really nice stuff! i likes it ~_~ i've tried alot of these methods all very kewl. keep'em comin bug ^_^

[Sketch]

Wow, really slick stuff! That robot on the top is wicked. You're method of just making a cool silhouette is something that I do often... when I can't think of anything else to draw. Do you have anymore suggestions for sketching? Keep posting!

[dilation]

amazing... i love your notes, i get a real sense of the way you think... great work

[Nold]

Damn ! This is good. Thank you for posting.

[metalwinds]

damn youre good.. .. you own my balls. .. bastard. yeah, id like to hear how you color sketches in photoshop too, im having trouble as well. really like the color stuff, its as sweet as the rest of your work. i wish i could give you some suggestions.. but i cant think of anything that you dont already know. maybe something will come to me soon. .. maybe

mmmm concepts. .. (drool) .. .. .

[Lung_bug]

thanks peeps. sketch, i'll think a bit and post em in the next update. i have a lot of weird methods :)

---

here's a decent update i hope. i felt like doing one so i did a process showing how i make these sketches. pencil and color.
http://lungbug.ice.org/sketchsteps01.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/sketchsteps02.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/sketchsteps03.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/sketchsteps04.jpg


and for the coloring part:
http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep00.jpg http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep01.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep02.jpg http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep03.jpg
i copy the base sketch to a separate layer and set it to multiply. then i fill in a opaque background depending on a few factors. first, mood. warm vs. cold, everyone can figure that out. then, i think of what colour would i want to make my biomecha. since i chose yellows/greens, i decided to put the complementary color in the bg, to stand out a bit. so i put a bit darker desaturated red. with a bit darker color and a big soft brush i filled in the main shadow areas. also, using the same brush, i threw in a few desaturated spots to make things more interesting.

http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep04.jpg http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep05.jpg
now i use a textured brush i made to fill in the local colors. on the metal parts i did a lot of color variation (notice how it goes warmer as it turns away from the light). the body also has some green/yellow/orange variation. with a gritty pencil brush i proceed to render out the headgear (pencil brush makes more texture). for the skin i use a soft round brush. i still work mostly in the midtones range of value.

http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep06.jpg http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstep07.jpg
this part is just pushing it forward. i add some brighter highlights. nothing much to say. later, when i'm done i'll optionally use an outline to show the sillhouette of the beast. this can be good, but it can be bad too. it works well in the darker areas that disappear in the background. i chose brighter orange/red to contrast the rather washed out colors i used on the rest.

http://lungbug.ice.org/colorstepg.jpg http://tonchyz.ice.org/colorstepcu.jpg
during the coloring, i'll often convert it to grayscale to check if the values are all right. if the grayscale doesn't look right, colored stuff won't either. the second pic shows a zoomed in headgear. you can notice a lot of different colors, but check the grayscale - there's a quite smooth transition. basically, you can play with saturation and hue, but the value brightness) should be accurate.


a little thing i did in oc last night:
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/greg.jpg

crappy page
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/sk072.gif

my photoshop 7 brushes (dunno how fresh tho) can be found at http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/lung_brushes.abr

i have school on monday, so i won't be able to update tomorrow. i'll try to make a nice update on monday tho (and yes, that means more nudity ;) ).

-lung

[davi]

lovely work.

get me a job in 4 years. thx.

[nor]

thnx for the process steps, they're really helpful!

[nacho]

lung you rock.
i've been watching your stuff quite a while now.. you just keep on getting better and better..
i guess you'll be one of the BIG guys in a few years. and by big i mean.. like.. huge.

keep it coming!

[rimwalker]

It's obvious you put a lot of time and effort into honing your craft. I admire and respect that. I also envy it to a huge degree. Get up the awesome work. (And thanks for the tutorial.)

[S13Drifter]

really nice stuff lung. you've got some dedication that i've been lacking as of lately. been kinda burnt out, so i've been just hangin out and playing video games. But after seeing this thread, i've decided im gonna start a daily sketch thread to keep myself motivated. i'll probably start on it in a couple days, still have some other things i need to handle.... like my demo reel for my portfolio class.....

[metaphysiks]

thanks for the info lung i really appreciate it
chris

[Sketch]

Can't wait to see more... especially your sketching tips. This piece that you posted here is very helpful. We have very similair tactics when it comes to creating... only thing is you're better;)

Keep em going!

[Lung_bug]

damn school... a quick post on the fly (crash made me. :chainsaw: )

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/sk073.gif

[Crash]

i own you now BI-ATCH, great stuff lung. Keep the posts up so i can get more inspiration.

[davi]

:love: :inlove: :hearts: :foundlove

[metalwinds]

. ... .....youre my hero.. ...nice stuff in the new post, those apples look real..damn good.

[Sketch]

Great to see more from you! This post is really testing how small of print I can read:D

[sin]

has lung posted any finished stuff, maybe im not looking hard enough, but i havent seen any :( :( :(.

FINISHED STUFF!! ::dies::

[Gygaxis]

Nice stuff there Lung, hopefully I'll remember to check back to this forum and look at this stuff *.*

[sic1]

oh my!!!!! *bows*

*applause*

*collapses from applause*

*gets back up, looks at lung's work again*

*faints*

[siskol p]

wow man, you are fantastic, what do you use when sketching in graphite?? graphite sticks, or pencils? and how do you get your hatches to go together so smoothly? whenever i bust it out they all look too individual from one another.

but please keep posting, you have got SOME talent.

take it easy

[Lung_bug]

thank you all for checking out, i'm glad the reactions are so positive :) right now i'm really swamped with school and have no time to draw at all (what sucks), but i'll be posting an update this friday or saturday.

siskol: i use a mechanical pencil and a steady hand. just go very lightly and equally. takes some time to tune the hand.

sin: yeah i haven't done any larger pieces for months now, but am working on a few right now

[fell]

hell insane work thonchy, makes me sad for not being you now.

edit: nice idea you gave me dud, ill start to dedicate sketchpages to friends toohttp://stu.aii.edu/~pas061/images/smiley/biggerbeer.gif

[behemot5]

i would like to ask you just a question....
how do you find all these ideas? :confused:

[2kre8]

yes thats a good question how do you find your ideas? is there a thread some where about that subject, or maybe start one. thanks

[a_]

more i say more!!

[Grooveholmes]

CHAZZWAZZERS!!!

[Cinsev]

i love to say i love looking at a style that is completely different than my own, it brings back that "how the heck did he do that?" feel that made me work so hard to become proficient in the first place.....

great stuff......thanks for the motivation.

[Loga4]

Sjajni crtezi zaista,Tonci.Ko ti je uzor?(ako ih imas)

[MisterE]

Great work lung, these are more than just sketches, these are works of art.

J

[sin]

::dies without lung bug update:: mooorrreeee!!!!!!

[Rusty]

Awesome work Lungbug,..those little notes to write down with your sketches enhances the look to them even more,and makes quite an interesting read ;)...
that step by step is great but i reckon you couldve pushed that painting a little bit more,my only gripe..

some of your drawings remind of of Henry Flints drawings,one of your inspirations?..

Keep at it man,interested to see more..:)

Rusty

[darkcult]

Crtezi su ti ludnica!!!:eek:
Tek sam danas skuzio ovaj thread.


Extreme Super Cool!!!

Keep 'em coming, WE WANT MORE!!!

:chug:

[Android]

:bow:

thats the first time i have used that smiley-

whatever IT is you got IT,

you have got IT in Spades my friend.

[Tedsuo]

Totally sweet. And thank you for sharing your process!

[Kortez]

WOW! and you're 16!? Promise me one thing, don't stop... I had this friend who was VERY talented and dedicated (like you) but one day he just stopped drawing and now he's just a mediocre. So, don't stop drawing.. the world would be missing out on a sh*tload!

Amazing work!

[Aidan]

Wow, im also 16 years old and my stuff is still far away from yours.
I love it.
Your way to draw a picture is quite equal to mine and you have the style im trying to develop.
Go on drawing - you rock.

[sin]

amazed by everything Lung does

::falls of over and dies::

[Layil]

youre 16!?!?!?
*sigh* now i feel old.
anyhoo, that aside, LOVE the sketchbooks, especially the running commentary; it gives us a window into your head. And thanks for the run through of your process. i shall have to give that a try.

:) keep posting!

[nor]

16...I was thinkin at least 4 yrs older.

Im 16, damnit now i need to draw more and try harder.

[ac_osorio]

OK, what in the world? Is that right? 16?
Man I'm getting old.....

Kepp it up buddy,
be cool
be the best
the skills are defenetly there!

[AmadorL]

dude you have a new f@ck'en fan!

[Lung_bug]

actually i'm 17...

Cinsev: thanks. i don't stick to one style tho, but change it quite often and through that build my 'common' one. glad i'm making you motivated, that's the best part of this.
Loga4: Hvala :) Uzori su primarno Wes, Alan Tew, Puddnhead, malo Travisa Charesta u zadnje vrijeme. Posto sam poceo s talijanima mislim da se jos osjeti i taj stih malo.
rusty: yeh the little notes... those take a lot of time sometimes. true about the painting, could've pushed it more, but it shows the idea. not familiar with Henry Flint. maybe i've seen his stuff somewhere, but the name itself doesn't ring a bell. got a link?
thank you all for the nice words and encouragement. i definitely won't stop doing this

here's some random junk to get the ball rolling now that school's done:

bwqahahaha hes back! again amazing sketches

[Grooveholmes]

I'll say it again...

Chazzwazzers!

[StephenC]

Chazzwazers indeed:chug:

[behemot5]

one of the best sketchbooks in conceptart......

[nacho]

Chazzwazzers!


yay! you're back!

[JecaTatu]

crazy good
crayzeeeee gooood!
i was thinking about your stuff and why it's so appealing to me, and i realized that your very strongest point is your sense of design. i see it most obviously in the way you layout the pages in your sketches... that's just amazing. i always just randomly cram unrelated things in my sketch books... all disjointed little images like they live in a great apartment complex. But your stuff is so unified and together. even if they're two completely unrelated drawings, they still fit in some design on your page. your excellent sense of design carries on into your other drawings as well. the shapes you use and how you use them... very very well done. i think that's why i like your stuff man, so keep up the good work and continue to rock. oh, btw, about figure drawing class... have you checked out potential sources outside of your high school? you might find in your community some artists that get together and draw from a model, or maybe at a nearby university? perhaps some workshops near you? and if there are none, maybe you should start it up, get some local artists on the phone and see if they want to get together and chip in for a model. cause that's all you need: a model. sure you could use instruction... but what better instruction than direct observation?
yah, so mounds and mounds of praise and encouragement!

[Lung_bug]

jecatatu: there's no other artists in a 12 km radius here... that is no artists younger than 50. i made arrangements with a girl i know, so that might work out.

few more studies... it was just too damn hot to work today
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/sk055.jpg
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/sk056.jpg

[JecaTatu]

wow man! isolation is SUXOR! sorry to hear that! i understand though, i've lived for a long time in the desert and mountainy regions of the US in itty bitty towns. the only thing resembling an artist in most of those towns was the guy that airbrushed unicorns on Vans and the ad layout guy for the local newspaper... chorttle chorttle

keep up the good fight though, you're doing great on your own!

[golgari]

"i want to die"

yeah, me too, when looking at your drawings ;)
no, seriously...it's amazing how all those simple things can turn into fascinating stuff when drawn by a skilled artist - like that toilet... how long did it take you to do that?

[Rusty]

shucks,you kick so much ass m8,welldone..
If you dont become a conceptual designer you deserve to be shot..;P..jk

never mind about henry flint,your recent stuff definatley comes into a par of its own.;)
youve given me a new reason to pick up the pencil again,a new level to aim 4,
thx..

Rusty

[ac_osorio]

During these pass three days I haven't been able to draw a single decent thing. I’ve come to a point where I’m fighting over perspective, figures, and all that stuff, so hard that just have to leave the table. I got frustrated and started thinking if my work is really any good (I wonder if it happens to you).

But then I come here and check your stuff, and I remember why I push myself so hard.
I found myself smiling saying “that is fu@#$ awesome”. And then I’m ok again.
I look at my work and see that is not that bad is just that I want more out of it.

Thanks for sharing your work, thanks for the inspiration.

[nor]

lung, I understand your frustrations. There is little to none artists in my school (other than myself), and ive learned more with this site than my arrogant art teacher. Seeing your work makes me want to draw, more more more!

[Loga4]

E,hvala na odgovoru!
Travis je cale!:)

Pozdrav!

[metalwinds]

everything you draw seems to be right on point. .designs and everything.. .its really amazing. i f#ckin love the robot head thingy (the one you colored). the texture in it is really awesome

another "in flames" fan?

[Lung_bug]

jecatatu: isolation really does suxor. thanks
golgari: about 15 minutes
ac_osorio: yeah it happens to me (you wouldn't believe how often and the heat here isn't helping either) but i have a way of dealing with it. break the routine, do something completely different. read a book or something. as i said, my favorite part of doing this is inspiring people and making them draw
jnorish: well, then draw! :)
loga4: hvala na informacijama... zapravo vec imam jedan kraci strip u pripremi za ovo ljeto, valjda cu ga uspjeti dovrsiti do 15.
metal: in flames rule :rock:

here's a few more

[nor]

excellent face sketches. And yes, In Flames does rule :rock:

[golgari]

15 minutes? damn, you've got to breathe with your pencil...
i like the face of that girl a lot - these other faces are technically top, but somehow they don't get me as much as that first face. hmm. i guess it's those negative shapes that enchant me every time...

hmm. i liked in flames' instrumentals a lot, but somehow never got used to the singer. "whoracle" is a great song, though ;D

[Aveh]

Lung strikes again. good stuff again guy. givin ya a lil public praise as i put it in the channel.anyways back to ya stuff. i like how its been progressing. it looks to me like you have gotten more confidence in ur lines from ur first post with the females. lol that toilet is bloody awesome =]. like i said i'd like to see some more mechanical things from u. that pic with the bull head was really nice. and from one of ur latest updates with the 4-5 pictures with the mechanical head its really nice, have u seen Space Truckers, reminded me of that a whole lot, cept it was more organic in ze movie. i would like to see how you have been progressin with cars and such. maybe an idea to go on is boats. i been workin on alot of those lately. should be really good practice with perspective and tone. like the old classical type boats the spanish used to make. keep up the good work bug. =]

[Loga4]

Cool,nadam se da ces uspeti da ga

great art lung! keep it up!

[Jeff Gran]

you rock man. I really love how you lay out your sketchbook pages. That's amazing. I think I would benefit from trying to emulate that effect. Trying to unify each page somehow. Anyway, keep drawing and keep posting.

[Fozzybar]

Lung_bug...my Mister T.

The man with the invaders-pic i always have in mind, as i once told you in irc...

You are great!

Your artwork is great!

Your knowledge about art is great!

[Lung_bug]

hey all, thanks for commenting and liking it... long time no update due to another hd crash (no luck- this is my third drive that died), so i'll be off for some time again

:(

[Coma]

3??? You may want to have someone check the power source and mother board either may be the problem...

[Tedsuo]

Three hard drives is a sign of bad karma. Stop hitting puppies with shovels, or whatever it is you're doing.

[Jimmy Scifi]

Blown away dude, you make me feel like I missed the boat. But hey, this old dogs learnt some new tricks thanks to you. I'll be back. :nana

[BluePencilArtist]

Very Amazing sketches you have here. You must have very amazing talent. Keep it up good work and never stop drawing. Art is life....

Bout time I told you how much arse you kick.. and that would be several Mike Tyson fist fulls.
When your famous, make sure you make time for my drawing lessons.
A style to cry for.

Is that the Jackass crew I see?

[Cashmere]

Lung, I can't wait...repair your hd ! :)

ampex: chazzwowzers! :)

tedsuo: but... shovels are so fun!
jimmi scifi: glad i could help
bluepencilartist: indeed, art is life
lukias: :D funny, i've been studying your sketches, so if anyone's got a kickass style, that's you, mate! cheers. and yeah that's the jackass crew. i'll have to make them a proper piece someday

didn't fix my disk yet but i have an improvised machine atm. let's hope this hard drive doesn't fry

here's a bit of recent junk, didn't actually draw much lately, been reading a lot tho, watching movies, doing roughs and gestures (might post those later too) being most of my work. time to warm the chair again, back to the full rythm tomorrow onwards so be sure to check around every once in a while ;)

next update: TOMORROW

[nor]

back and better than ever :chug:

[Rusty]

ive always envyed how well you pick out what to shade on yer drawings and the interesting poses/silhouettes...you just seem to know what parts to hold back on and what parts to add to to get a well balanced drawing..

Im in awe man,keep going.

Rusty

[Iiori]

Im glad your back. These are great!

[Atmospheria]

oh yea...this is good stuff...i see talent in you man..
keep'em comin...the head drawing is amazing by the way...

[Lung_bug]

hey peeps, thanks for the comments

here's some stuff from today
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/book17_14.jpg http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/book17_10.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/book17_11.jpg http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/book17_12.jpg

[Jeff Gran]

Great stuff, Lung. nice to see you're back. I really like the diagram of your room, it's very well done and it's cool to see it from that angle, and to see where you are and how you work and stuff. Keep it up man.

[golgari]

hell, it's great to see you back & posting stuff. i really love this thread.
that room of yours turned out really nice indeed. i dig seeing the working space of others. somehow have a kind of passion for that =)
do i see only one window there? your room has to be quite dark ;)

[Aidan]

Great to see you posting art again.

Did you draw your room all freehand without measuring anything?
And where do you always get your references from?

[Loga4]

Hvale nikad dosta:))
Odlicno kao i do sada.

[endregan]

well well well!!!

your so passionate about your art and I like that ;). This is a great thing and you are dedicated and inspire is that is for sure. your imagination is just great!!!!

Keep up the fine quality!!

[Sumrow]

:rock:

You rock...:rock: :rock: :rock:

[amphex]

Yay
lung is back =)
for some reason, when you stopped uploading, I stopped drawing =\
im weak

[xia]

Awesome........................................... ...............
Love your sketches and everything.:chug:

[Lung_bug]

jeff gran: thanks, that was my first try at it... kinda happy it turned out ok
golgari: i have a balcony door too so it can be very bright :alien4:
aidan: without measuring. i was sitting in the left chair and rotated a bit when i needed to make sure about details. it's a good exercise. like drawing from an astral body :D
loga4: :chug:
endregan, sumrow, xia: thanks
amphex: you better be drawing right now ;)

i worked for more than twelve hours today and i feel GREAT. and tired. not much to show (some stuff is secret secret, you'll see in time) but here goes:

next update: TOMORROW! wee!

[nor]

wow, great concepts!

[buffaloe]

amazing work as always =D I love the tarot cards... very creative designs...but the pregnant lady with the big hands scares the crap out of me :eek:

Glad you're back! Now I feel all inspired...... :D

[Aidan]

Your passion for drawing scares me a bit...
I mean...12 hours...
My personal record is seven hours with a one hour break.
And after that I was not drawing for one week.
Your gifted. Please keep on sharing your talent.
Can't tell how much I'm lookin forward to seeing your new site.

[metalwinds]

i really like all the thumbnails you did. great stuff as usual

[metaphysiks]

wow, the concept is great and it was a real treat to see all of the thumbnails. the samurai big band is definately a winner in my mind, and you must finish the KING of SPORKS. are you planning on painting this? i cant wait to see it.
meta

[Synista]

One smiley:


:eek:

[golgari]

ahrhrhrhr...that samurai big band made my day =)

[Lung_bug]

buffaloe: that was actually a klimt study. he did some scary stuff.
aidan: 12 hours is a good start i think. puddnhead works (or worked dunno atm) approx 15 hours a day. and look where it got him. you can think of it like a gym workout. gotta do it every day. if you work out 10 hours one day and then don't for a few weeks, it's no use. gotta keep pushin it every day. the more you do it, the better you get. sounds easy, eh? :)
i have a site up at the moment (it's temporary but is something)
metalwinds: thanks
metaphysiks: yep that's gonna be a full blown painting when i settle on a definite design and pose. will be noodling on it in the next few days.
synista: :)

i'm glad you guys liked the samurai big band... might turn that into a painting someday heheh :D

---

today i woke up at 7:20pm and till now was busy having a really bad headache so did only some hand studies:
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/study004-hands.jpg

and here's few old sketches i didn't post i think
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/rough01.gif

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/rough_c.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/chatdoodlebot.gif


next update: TOMORROW (if i don't go :beer: again)

cheers

[metaphysiks]

great stuff (again ), the hands are great, many people just dont want to do studies. i like teh design for the second one i would love to see the painting finished becuase i want to see the arms
dont go drink, i want to see more tomorrow
meta

[golgari]

*agrees with metaphysiks*
we are craving your sketches - don't put us on cold turkey! ;)
those hands are great - i like especially that second one.

by the way, i recently browsed through the beginning pages of this thread again, and noticed the many pages with notes. now... do these help you? i mean, can you remember how to draw things better when writing notes while drawing? or are you just noting them down for others to better understand? (thanks by the way, they're helpful ;) ). just being curious...

[endregan]

hehe i agree with meta dont drink it slows ya down. you draw a lot every day and that sets a good example. if we want to draw for the rest of our lives we should start now...hours a day everyday! :)

[xia]

pretty darn awesome!!! Very inspiring...
Good work, like your rendering technique a lot.
Keep it up.:chug:

[Aidan]

Damn, I want to draw as much as you do but there's so much else to do...

I think you're underrating this.
Not everybody has the passion to draw as much as you do.
The point, when you just can't go on is differently set set from person to person.

And I guess people who just don't has the passion to draw much, shouldn't wonder why they ain't getting better as much as other people are.

[Lung_bug]

metaphysiks: the robot design was a rough sketch for my friend who's into 3d modelling. he just needed the basic idea so i didn't go for details as much as i could. i'll get at it in one of the next updates

golgari: the thing with notes is that i do both, help myself and, hopefully, people who see them (glad you find them helpful). to write them, i am forced to think it all through, comipile and put in short lines. it's not as much about writing them as much as the thought process. a lot of it sticks in the brain. and that's important, right? try it once, you'll see it works

endregan: i'm not really a drinking person, but sometimes gotta get out of the house and spend some time with the lads. and you're right about the last part tho. no time to waste!

xia: thanks :)

aidan: it's always hard forcing oneself to work. the start is rough but it gets easier afterwards. i didn't set myself an aim to draw 10 hours straight from the start. two years ago, when i started doing this more seriously, i said myself "hey, let's see if i can pull off five pages every day". and so i bought a small a5 notepad and started kicking at it. it worked! after a while you want to do more and honestly, i just became addicted. i feel utterly useless when i don't draw. imho everyone should ask themselves WHY are they doing it and HOW hard do they want it.

some more random jibberish from me:

this is a school yearbook cover i did a while ago, never posted it. initially had colors but i managed to push the blue version. took some five hours in photoshop:

next update: NINJAS

[xia]

As awesome as usual kid!
Love the first and especially the last.

[jester]

Hey Lung_bug, I haven't been here for a long time and obviously missed some great art. You :rock: rock!

As many other people I'm really impressed by your lomg drawing sessions. I wonder who organises your life then? who earns the money, cooks the meals, does the washing and ironing and so on? I mean, I'm a marketing-consulter and work currently 9-10 hours a day. Then, after organising my life, I usually draw for about 1-2 hours per day. I'm also a great fan of literature and film and this has to fit in, too. Plus social life, i.e. family and friends. Plus sleeping (I don't sleep more than 6-7 hours a night, this isn't that much) - SO HOW DO YOU FIND THE TIME TO DRAW THOSE WONDERFUL PICS UP TO 12 HOURS A DAY??? Sorry for shouting ... :rolleyes:

Ok, to stop ranting - great stuff!

Jester

[metalwinds]

fuck yeah dude, its about time you update regularly. .. .at least every few days. all the stuff is great as usual, but im really diggin the colored chatdoodle.. . the colors are so simple, yet so fucking awesome. keep em comin

peace

[xia]

To Jester:
I agree with Lung. He is on his way to be great. I think I understand where he's going with this. It all comes down to you.
YOU have to make a "DECISION". It is as simple as this. What is more important to you? "Do you want to be "GREAT", or you just want to be good." Once you decide, the rest is history. It's your choice, nothing is for free. Sacrefice has to be made for the cost of being "GREATER".

[sic1]

hell yeah, lung rocks!

:chug:

[Lung_bug]

jester: hey, thanks for stopping by and for the nice words. and about my life... i'm not sure if you know i'm 17, so i still live with my parents. last year of highschool now. that takes care of the formalities like cooking and stuff.also i don't have much of a social life, but it was a sacrifice that had to be made. sleeping too sometimes, especially during school. past semester i slept 3-4 hours max daily for many months, and then just blacked out during weekends. holidays rule for drawing and i'm trying to use them the best i can :) when school starts the sessions will cut to some 8-9 hours max, tho. drawing 1-2 hours per day is a fair amount of drawing time, but if i were you i'd try to push it a bit further. mullins once said "MAKE TIME". but then again i'm still a kid

metalwinds: yeah when school starts there'll definitelly be more postable materials :) so i'll aim for a very narrow posting rythm. glad you like the colors, they were an experiment. cheers

xia: yeah, that's pretty much it :)

sic1: :chug: cheers mate

was working on dead dog gulch most of the day but i don't want to post it unfinished so here's.... SOME MORE RANDOM JUNK! *trumpets and shoes thrown at lung*.

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/backstudies.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/crappyninjastuff.jpg

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/totalcrap.jpg http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/markertest.jpg

that last one is a pencil/marker sketch... testing how it works (quite fine)

[xia]

Awesome, good observation on the first image.
Keep it up!

[golgari]

ROFL @ "real ninja's always practice". that ninja stuff is really funny. but that first page is great, too. (heck, all your stuff is great. don't ever call it junk again, makes me want to rip my heart out). normally i don't like smudging very much, but in your pictures it somehow looks very good. i guess it's because your still maintaining enough stroky quality, plus you have pretty clean outlines. nice background composition...

[PeggyChung]

hey Lung, i love your stuff. very inspirational since im 15 and i just started being serious about drawing this summer. the ninja one was hilarious :P just curious though, do you have doodles you do when your bored? cause the ones you do seem so neat and organized. also just wondering what do you draw during those hours? ive been drawing but i ll stop every 5 seconds or something. ive been studying bones and muscles and im going to move onto portraits in a bit. lastly your the one that inspired and pushed me to work harder. i draw probably 2-3 hours a day but not straight.

OT: anyone got good references for skulls? my anatomy book doesnt have that great of an example. thanks

[Jeff Gran]

awesome stuff. that ninja practicing is hilarious. And I wanted to tell you what you said about dedication and how you used to do 5 pages a day really inspired me, that's my new goal, 5 in stead of 1 each day. Keep posting man, love this stuff.

[nil]

man, doesnt your ass get sore sitting still and drawing for 12 hours a day? :D

great stuff, inspiring, the little notes on the sketches are great

[DragonGX]

you forgot the ninja wailing on his guitar!

THE REAL ULTIMATE POWER!

[metalwinds]

hehe, funny stuff you got here. your linework just keeps getting better and better. did you use reference for the first page? great work

peace

[Robolus]

Absolutely great work lung. You´re sketchbook gives me so much inspiration and motivation - thanks a lot for it!:thumbsup:

[Lung_bug]

xia: thanks
golgari: yeh i'm not a fan of smudgin myself but gotta experiment. i need to get one of those paper stumps, some people kick ass with em
ladylioness: the ninja ones are doodles. i have a tendention to subconsciously arrange things. weirdish. there's -ALWAYS- something to draw. sometimes i take one of those clothing catalogues and draw few dozen of them. on the other occasion mags like national geographic. or just draw my room or me or stuff from mind like robots, etc. a lot of time goes on anatomy too. you'll see, the further you go, the more you want to do it :)
jeff gran: kickass! i'll have to see those pages :chug:
nil: yeah... that might be a problem in the future :( thanks
metalwinds: yeh, photos
robolos: glad i'm helping. cheers

http://www.geocities.com/lung_bug/threepic.txt

not a sketch but i hope it gave you a good laugh :)
anyways, i'm off to Italy for a week and if everything goes well i won't have any time to sketch. jk :D i hope i'll have a lot of time to sketch there, it's rome after all. and i hope i'll see some real paintings and stuff. that'd rock.

so, seeya (*keeps fingers crossed*) :)

edit:
found something i didn't post!
cover of my summer sketchbook

Beautiful skin rendering!
Have fun in Italy. :chug:

[endregan]

LOL dood the webcam stuff is funny !!

perfecto mondo.

the purple sketchbook cover is sweet too. I like how its clean and pops out of the page

[jester]

Lung, thanks a lot for your answer, this explains a lot. Enjoy yourself and keep practising, you're on the right way to success!

Jester

[sic1]

Have fun in Italy :)

[PeggyChung]

haha awesome pics :P thanks for answering my quesions:D plus i TRIED your sketch book style in mine and its actually sorta fun. i ll be checking back for the mess of sketches you promised! :rolleyes:

[golgari]

hrhrhrhr :D
have fun in italy!

that purple sketchbook cover is nice, by the way. but it is digital, isn't it? do you print it and then put it on your sketchbook? or how is it supposed to be the cover? :)

[Crash]

Hey lung .... your site isnt working...again....lol

great GREAt work:chug: :chug:

[antihero]

I could not keep myself away from the "reply to post" button and well.. here i am, writing sort of a comment. I can't add anything to what has been said before, in all the replys you've allready gotten. You're _really_ good. Love your work and especially the sketchpages where you combine sweet drawings, great ideas and lots of fun.
fun really never seems to be missing when you draw and that is IMO a great thing.

Take care and _best_ wishes!

antihero

[Blind]

Hiya LB... been following this thread since the beginning (like most members here @ CA probably). Your work is really inspiring, especially to a pencil slinger like me. You have great focus for your age. Keep it!! Your ability speaks for itself... and I can't wait to see more. Looking forward to watching your progress as you grow.

Small Request: the next time you do an Open Canvas session, would you please save off a .wpe file for us to all spooge over? You explained your process very well a few pages back, but it would be most cool to see it in action.

And... the expression on this guy made me laugh out loud! Too cool!

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/markertest.jpg

[ShawnYe]

I like your stuffs...don't stop keep going, amazing work, appreciate your love for composition. :D

[catterpillar]

woah ok I'm 17 too but ONLY JUST! If I work REALLY HARD for the rest of my life I might just catch up to you!!!!!!! oh who am I trying to kid.. :hmm: :bow:

[gekitsu]

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/markertest.jpg

this is the most fuckin great drawing of twelve i have ever seen :eek:

thumbs up man, i do so enjoy yer stuff. draw more, i crave entertainment!

[Lilith]

Lung-

What constantly amazes me about this sketchbook is not the strength of your technical talent in light of your age, although it does floor me again and again on its own merits; 17 or 77 the long hours and hard work are sort of a universal trial I think (although time and difficulty vary for numerous reasons, obviously).

What I find absolutely the most awing when I look at your artwork is that the emotions and feelings of the pieces are utterly mature in their complexity. It is your grip of those expressions and the ability to convey them eloquently that I most admire, and I wanted to say so.

Thank you for inspiring so many of us to work harder. :)

[rubygenesis]

ooOOOOoo LOL Lung if funny guy! ~_~ the dude in the john!! hahaha, ew man. hahaha! >_< nice work as usual ;)

[mainevent4u88]

Dude, you friggin' rule! You possess the grafite gift...

:bow:

[Lung_bug]

thank you all for encouragement and nice words, i was getting ashamed of not updating already :) oh and glad you all liked the ninja toilet one, i may have few more similar ones here soon

blind: i use all kinds of techniques, depending on medium and mood... here's a wpe for your spooge action
gekitsu: that "twelve" totally confuses me, but thanks :D
lilith: glad you can see the emotions, i'm usually very unsure about getting that part visible in the drawings.

i didn't mean to confuse you but this pencil and marker drawing isn't meant to be the character "twelve" of street fighter 3: 3rd strike?

[Marko Djurdjevic]

Exceptional work Lung, I really enjoyed your tiny beard sprouting in your SP...*hehe*


Great, my day is made

Marko

[metalwinds]

schwingin stuff as usual, lung. the reference drawings are lacking in contrast, but other than that everything looks great. cant wait till i can see ALL the images

peace

[roger]

Great!! You should update this thread more often, like once every 30 minutes at least. :chug:

[Jamaludin]

Wowzerss !! This makes me wanna give up on drawing even more. Great work, you make drawing look easy which it aint in mu opinion. A great source of inspiration this is indeed, must be great to have mad skillz like that. Good luck dude its great as usual. Cya !!

[scumble fish]

What a mix of ideas....All good. I like seeing the digital next to the graphite.
PS...Your website is one of the more interesting ones I've been to.

[strych9ine]

Fantabulous, brother man. Holy SHIT do I love your skecthes. Update more often, please...

[jester]

Yes, pleeeeeease - more regular updates.

Jester

[PeggyChung]

as always...*drools* very nice work. haha yea i TRY to draw in class, though my thoughts of getting work done is getting in my way lol. hmm question, what type of art are you planning to get into after highschool?

[BadMange]

Lung_bug - Two quick questions...

1) This was asked earlier in this thread, but how do you do your sketchbook covers? Do you do them digitally, print and paste 'em on the cover? Or do you just draw on the inside cover or first page?

2) Where do you get your female references from? Are they poses in magazines, in your head, or on the net? Any favorite ref sites? Just curious...

And keep updating regularly, I love your style. Great poses and rendering!

-Bad Mange

[geoffd]

i view your thread often and don't think i can add anything more to this that hasen't already been said before... except your drawings are totally BOSS and i want to draw like you when i get older. :chug:
for real, i've got my eye on you and i wanna see where you go and what you come up with next. inspirational stuff, thanks for kicking my ass and forcing me to draw daily. keep it up!!

[pogonip]

Of course when I find this thread all the images are down

:mad:

:rambo: :xx:


:wtf:

Please get it back up i'll check soon !! :D

[Pezz3D]

yo lung bug i can give you hosting if you need it...

[Aidan]

omg, 18th sketchbook? :D
damn, you gotta watch after your art more!
and the sentence "school is a tremendous source of free time" is gonna be my educational death.
well, at least i hope so. ;)

So lookin forward to the thunderdome releases.

[Lung_bug]

marko: glad you like it... i get the same thing from your thread :)

metalwinds: yeah... contrast. i'll work on that. this black pencil i got might help

roger: 30 minutes :D i think i'll first try to narrow down to every day or two :)

jamaludin: give up on drawing? nonono! draw = good

scumble fish: thanks and thanks

strych9ine, jester : i try... well i'll try a bit harder now. promise

amphex: i work mostly with a mechanical pencil, 0.5 hb leads, probably what i used on those too

atmospheria: thanks, will do

metaphysiks: cheers :chug:

endregan, amadorL: thanks :)

ladylioness: graphic design + fine painting

badmange: 1) mostly i just draw on the first page, but when i collect a bunch of a4 papers, i bind them and print out a cover, like the purple one i posted here
2) refs i get from all kinds of sources, from amateur pron to scribbles from life and mind. can't really point you to a certain site, sorry. cheers

capt. harlock: draw like me? why not better? :) glad this stuff inspires you and makes you draw (that owns)

pogonip: quirky server :/

pezz3d: thanks for the offer, but seems to be working now...

aidan: 18th yep. there's 4-5 unnumbered ones on the side too. when i go through the first one, i can still remember every thought. it's so weird and funny

(working towards more often updates)
i pulled out this pen tonight (pilot g-tec c4, before you ask) and gave it another shot and lo, it kicks ass. now i'm not sleeping because i can't stop drawing. these may be crude, but i'm having a lot of fun doing them

first one i did, my fav drawing in this whole year so far
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/zempol.jpg

funbunchies; trying to do some very simple creatures. it's much easier to do muscly beasts than these. these are a lot of fun to do

http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/creature03.jpg

one random page from school:
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/randmjnk.jpg

and a random drawing while i was ill
http://lungbug.ice.org/stuff/ipse_web.gif

that's it so far. 3:30 am, i'll continue drawing, so i'll post the rest either at 6:00 or in the evening.

[Main Loop]

another impressive character on this board.. man this site is great

[Ant4d]

these are amazing.

[Crash]

good stuff , tonch.

I hope to see you tonight at the mirc channel.

[Jamaludin]

another great post, and ofcrouse ill never give up drawing but it just wont seem to improve much imo. Where do you draw what kind of environment, and what do you use I use graphite normal pencils and a rubbing stick for example. And where the * censored * by the * censored * do you get your ideas and inspiration from lol, cause thats my main problem. Anyway thanks for inspiring me and many others your work is great as usual, you keep it simpel yet very good looking. Cheers !!!

[AmadorL]

Thunderdome Lung!

[m@.]

genius

[killing.people]

[StephenC]

[Groover McNab]

one of the coolest sketcbooks! just thought i'd say that so I know when it gets updated :D

[Aidan]

Damnit, Tonc.
Youre drawin so freakin much, plz share more!

[obid619]

DUDE when the heck do you find the time to find the ideas to even start on these posterior kicking pics. <I am now in a state of mind, void of sense>

[Ra Havok]

I find it truly mindboggling that a person can draw so well when he's merely seventeen years old.


You, Lung Bug, are one of my greatest inspiriations. If I ever achieve something in art I'll owe it to (people like) you.


Thanks.

[endregan]

These are awesome

like the looser stuff as well

solid linework as usual buddy ;)

[TheDirtSyndicate]

oink.
you got skills that make the leaves tremble. cant wait for more.

[siskol p]

ahh lung...

all i can do is seethe jealousy at those skills, but i love looking at those drawings, you've definatly got the "knack" and its great to hear how dedicated you are, i can't wait to see you when you get to college, talk about blowin' up the spot...

[chudzta]

Lung is nuts. Thanks man for all this.. im just adding to the masses.

Crazy stuff. cant imagine what will be happening by the time ur in your late twenties and pumping work out.. sheesh.. piece kiddo - chudds

[DragonGX]

SO where did Lung disappear to?

[Jens]

he's in his cave drawing his fingers to stumps :D

[Turbosity]

Lung--

Can't wait to see whats next. You're freeflow ideas and sketches and sense of humor are really entertaining.

Great to see Rorschach...one of the great, classic costume designs.

I need to get some consistency to my craft and practice, this is all pretty inspirational!

[mroq]

You're genius, you've got something what I've been lookin for on this forums and which is possessed only by a few. Your ideas and creativity seems endless.

Improve them.

[Adam]

if you were a 24 yr professional artist with a master's degree, this would be amazing work. Given that you are 17 (correct?)...I don't even know what to say. You are impossibly gifted - I'm speechless. This is absolutely stunning work.

[Bishop Six]

I've just been looking through several of the pages in this thread, and I've gotta go with the crowd here, this is truly amazing stuff. This is some insane talent. And you're 17? I'm 17 too. I wish I could draw like this. Every post in here is like buckets of inspiration, each adding so much more to the giant inspiration vat. I need to start up a daily sketchbook now. Thanks, Lung bug!

Btw, were you Mr.T on the sijun forums?

[Lung_bug]

thank you all for keeping the faith. i'm still here, had a a weird phase, learned a lot from it. i'll be able to post again soon :chug: for you all, peeps, being able to inspire you always brings a smile to my face

and yeh, i was mr.t

*sinks back*

[metalwinds]

hey lung, do you plan on going to college? if so, where are you looking at going? somewhere in the US maybe.. . ..?

peace

[Yiako]

Hey man, please post ANYTHING soon. It's more that a month ago since your last pict!
