im just not worthy. thank you for being alive wes... i love then all, but the hip hop guy portrait is my fav. briliant technic.

[AmadorL]

Dude there are tight ..like the Luda one....how long have you been drawing?

[Grooveholmes]

Wow.. Wes, 3rd and 4rth are my favorites..:rofl:

Did you use any references for the stuff on the 3rd page? The anatomy is bangin'

[Kress]

post more fool these are saucy. You go to school? if so, where?

[Deth Jester]

50+ POST MORE!!

Or just put a link to where you put them on your site..

Nice stuff.. Wes... I always love your sketches.

peace.

[I.was.ink]

These sketches and painting are magnificent. I love them all! The first one is spectacular. Like Kress said, where do you go to school?

Please post more!!!

[foster]

wes, i am completely in awe of your drawing ability and the obvious need and vivaciousness with which you pursue drawing.

these drawings knocked my socks off, buuuttttt, then i went to your site and the abundance is on the way to resuscitate me.

i have had a long day. i got mad, i stuck my foot in mouth, i felt a little the fool, but seeing your work has me smiling and excited about drawing again.

wes, i'm going to steal your childern and learn from their genetics.

i mean.
awesome as always. Sorry about lying to you again about going to CIA, it's just a long drive out there, never too convinent, and i'm lazy. If it's still on i would like to go though. I need to get back into drawing tradational and life draiwng would probably be the best step. come on irc sometime and let me know.

the new server is IRC.AsylumNet.Org
most of the chat is still in #eatpoo

[ATOMICsizePENCIL]

wes, after viewing every single piece on your page...no wait...after seeing the first few sketches you posted...i was/am humbled by your works.

simply amazing skill...wow.

your style reminds me alot of Alan Tew at www.beeba.net ...amongst others.

the only critique i can offer is on the cadavers; the're disgusting! haha..but thats just me.

:chug:

[stephen]

wow hi wes, nice f'n work man, damn i gota get my ass in gear!!

gooood shit, very inspiring thank you!

[Landmate]

i hate ass patting, but .. *sigh* your figures are beautiful.

[brokencow]

damn wes good stuff!!!
your sketch is very clean
I love that high contrast figure studie one
great job!

[DachBleddyn]

WOW! I love all of them. I like the color and technique in the first. Post more, post more!

[cos]

Damn, Awesome stuff Wes. Remember your work from a while back, was really good then too, tho think you've made even more progress. Kinda see abit of a Roundeye and Puddnhead influence in some of your doodles aswell, great cross of caracuture with realism.

Anyway kick arse stuff, look forward to more.

[xjmaschox]

Awesome Wes. Your drawings are carefree in some ways, but full of substance in others. Cadaver drawings look nice. Nice to see some new stuff from you. Is the first piece going to be a painting?

[gekitsu]

excellent.

i like the first one (very jugendstil-y) and the third one (that pirate guy cracks me up) the best.

awesome anatomy.

[suma]

wow! like your sketches weird stuff is good

[kaini]

:bigeyes: :bigeyes: :bigeyes:

Wes you kill me, you've improved so much it's not even funny

[JoshuaTheJames]

The thing that really grabs me is your consistency. Thanks for sharing!

-Joshua the Inspired



btw the "Decadence of hip hop" is just damn funny...no hometown Bone Thugs? (For one who does listen to rap anymore I must admitt, I like them)

[Hardcore]

Masterful you have a bright future kid...

[clayrodery v.03]

oh man, those are amazing, especially the 1st, 4th, and 6th one. you rock the house!

[Crunch]

great stuff man. i really like how you not only draw the figure but you also choose your composition very wisely with the surroundings. great line quality and a solid grasp on anatomy. keep up that passion for art.

[Lukias]

Hands down coolest work I have the pleasure of seeing.

I marvel at the marvelousness. Its the marvelest.

Anatomy is so mint.
This work is a perfect example of how I need to study more.

Beat-bop-a-rock ya don't stop.
Word up my home slice. :cool:

on a side note, whenever im drawing the cadavers i always get Misfits songs stuck in my head, especially "Braineaters" hehehe

brains for dinner,
brains for lunch,
brains for breakfast,
brains for brunch,
brains at every single meal,
why can't we have some guts,
oi oi oi!

[Kyri]

Really solid drawings. This is some inspiring work, love your sketching style.

[Atmospheria]

I'm speechless...

[I.was.ink]

I NEED MORE MORE MORE!!!:shocked:
Where are you wes? You have no idea how much you inspire me. Before I draw everyday I open my "wes" folder and stare at your stuff and get inspired. Once I do, which only takes like a second I start drawing.

Please post more wes. you're my hero;)

wes rules:jump1:

[tarwater]

Very nice stuff as usual wes. I first found your site about eight or nine months ago and I've been a huge fan ever since. You influence so many people to draw more. You're a perfect example of Jason Manley 's preachings that drawing from life (people, still lifes, or whatever) as much as you can teaches you more than anything, and improves your artistic vision. Thanks for sharing.

[Fozzybar]

Yeay!

Thunderdome's 1st winner is back and continues stunning ca-members...










:eek:

[bat]

Everything is absolutely amazing, very well executed pieces of art. Do you have any more information on the coro ink/marker wash technique? Please keep posting beautiful work!

bat

[clayrodery v.03]

omg that last one is breathtaking! what kind of pen are you using that gives it that purple hue? absolutely gorgeous, awesome. i don't know what else to say

clay

[Ulysses]

I love looking through your sketches Wes! Your studies of the human figure are just awesome and your shading and how you handle value is masterful. Always looking forward to more updates!

[Victor B]
