Wow Kierston I really like the first one. Especially how the first wash shows through in the texture of your creature. Though, His right knee seems to be positioned kind of wierd in relation to where the foot is placed.

[rubygenesis]

hey thx! ya it was an older sketch i didnt bother to fix it up just wanted to try out this ink/alcohol coloring. ;)

el coro did inspire me to paint this before he had even started the sketchbook thread.

[el coro]

rubygenesis: nice work! way to make the effort. you've definitely got a good idea of this technique, try next time to get darker with the initial ink wash. sometimes i'll wait 10-15 minutes and apply another wash just to tome it down more. that way the colored pencil and gouache really pop...killing people: great work on the sketchpages(btw, gouache on canvas-BAD) gouache is not really as flexible as oils or acrylics,so when appled to canvas it can crack in time. not in a good way, though. rudecorleone: nice try el pasoan! try not to apply too much of any one thing, and use a bigger (way bigger) brush for your ink block in. rule of thumb: use a bigger brush than you think you need to. it will allow you to work much faster and will add spontanuity and deftness to your brushwork. i'm very flattered that you guys have actually been putting in the time to learn this. i guess it means that i dont suck as bad as i thought i did...

[killing.people]

el coro: definatly not .. and fetch for the paint peeling, guess i'll take it into photoshop and make it better .. then burn it .. ur .. something.

! wow wes9000, those are great! my fave's arethe first pink couple and the angry large-bellied man on the bottom. is the first one from life with creative modifications or is it all from life or your head?

I gotta get my hands on some of that marker ink.

[nick reynolds]

These are the only colors of the inks i could find in central AZ... expensive too. THis is my first time painting in about a year and a half so I know it sucks. I never leaned to mix paint. =( This bird is a test to see if I want it in another drawing im working on. its not original, I know...

Dang wes your the man!!! are you in college still like your website says?

[Lono]

Shit, Wes!

:eek:

every time i see your work i get the urge to move all of my stuff into a cave,,, dynamite the entrance,, and do nothing but draw and paint until i become ripe and ready to pop.. at that point i would tunnle out so that i could give it back to the people.. :) you know,,, just like Miyamoto Musashi and Friedrich Nietzsche.. those crazy bastards came out of there caves with books and shit. id probably come out with a stack of Strathmore "acid free" sketch pads under my arm, and some really bogus B.O.

so if i went cave hunting tomorrow,, what do you think the likelyhood is that i would stumble apon you or el coro's cave?
you gots DSL up in that mug?


:p

-Lono

[killing.people]

blue nipples :drool:

el coro: one of these days, you will have to post the tellatuby pic again. w-wwweeeee!

[rubygenesis]

WOW, everyone great stuff!! keep posting! I'll have more to post soon...keep it up, this is just wut i needed to get back into my sketchbook mode I luv it! :nod: :nod: :nod:

[quantas]

Wes,

you are amazing as usual. Would you please post some more work please? Thank you.....
I am not trying to learn from you. I have my own techniques, etc, but i am inspired by your work. thanks

[wes9000]

I'm still just mucking around...this is really cool!

[prismacolor]

I was just noticing that a lot of Terese Nielsen's work looks like "el coro's". She uses an acrylic underpainting instead of the marker ink. Worth checking out for inspiration.
http://daydream-graphics.com/artists/nielsen/main.asp

[bonedog]

Here are my attempts. Didn't have the tools but the inspiration is still from justin's work. Some are better than others... but I guess you learn from them all. Hey Justin, do you know the best place to buy the marker refills in SF? I used a red marker on one and even though I waited it stilled turned the white prismacolor pink. It was an old school AD xylene marker with the delicious toxic smell... maybe it's best to avoid those? Has anyone tried using Nupastel?

nice job.

[killing.people]

rubygen: it looks like you are really having fun with el coro's way of render. hey! .. the first time ihave seen you get so solid.

rude: that looks great. i didnt realize what the offering was at first .. or that it was an offering. i find your decoritive way of value very interesting.

bonedog: wow great job, i like the first two the most. you have such bold contrast of values yet a soft transition of values describing form, you have an inate display of chiarocuro, like wes9000.

-killing.bastards

[JoshuaTheJames]

bonedog those first two are super tight!!!

...

i've always like to get the most out of my paper but coro has helped me take it to the next level! ...not really his style ...just the fact i crammed all that gram ;)

[bonedog]

thanks guys.

and yah, i think el coro has made a lot of people realize how far you can take a sketchbook.

here's another one, a quick copy of a Iliya Repin painting.

[Wizard of KOZ]

I've been messing with the Coro style with a couple of my sketches, and this is the best of the bunch...which isn't saying much...anyway...I couldn't find the Inks coro posted so I've been using Doc Martin Inks...is that a sutible substitute?

http://www.landofkoz.com/storage/kiss.jpg

[killing.people]

...
hey
great to see some of your current work, i was growing curious. el coro is an insiration and i love his work. it looks like you were having problems with the inks. doc martin? like the shoe dye!?

did you hear i got banned? :D .. didnt see that comming .. :rolleyes:

-killing.koz ;)

[JoshuaTheJames]

did you hear i got banned? :D ..

[Wizard of KOZ]

Hey Killin yeah I heard...we have that much in common now...lol anyway actualy the inks are working out fine...at least I think...I need more practice blending them and not making the colors so saturated. Doc Martin Inks are really good...I've used them before...they are a bit on the expenxisve side...about 3.50 per bottle...and the're tiny. I'm just not sure if Doc Martin Inks are good for the tech that Coro has shared with us.

[JoshuaTheJames]

thickpaint!

three thumbs up!

-Joshua!

[bonedog]

thickpaint: keep it up, man. i like em a lot.

alright... here's another one. not quite finished yet. this one is wearing me out!

ahh. two legged horse redux. nice work. you've got a nice way of doing your highlights though i'd be careful to not let them get too stylized. the birds are cool, too.

-bone

[nick reynolds]

heres another one... I really dont like this one, I had alot of trouble with the blending of the color pencils. I went dark first =( oops. Its a cover to a self promotion video game box. Something to send employers... The portfolio thing was painted on a seperate page in my sketchbook and put in with photoshop. No big whoop.

Everybody is doing some cool work.

[nacho]

lotsa nice stuff in this thread. i had to try the technique, i didn't have these fancy materials el coro uses for his sketchbook tho.

GODDAMNBOY! the colors in the background are too dope!!!

nacho - great ! :)

[rubygenesis]

This my little brother Matthew (well a likeness of him anyways), we like to spend
a few hours together working in our sketchbooks when we can. here he's hard at
work on a page, so I thought I'd pull off a few 'quick' studies.

[rubygenesis]

This is my cat Zambooka, she would not hold still at all. So I pretty much filled in all the details from memory...

[killing.people]

they are beautiful studies genesis.

[rubygenesis]

thanks killing, you rock :)

[taff]

awwww - a cat. I really like this one, the brownish paws of the siamese look good. The brwown hair on its back seems a little confusing to me.

*pur* :chug:

[daarken]

tried doing some coro stuff today. i have to do this illustration for class about the homeless, so i decided to do a little study.
