some very nice renderings, some of the pics still dont show up though, mostly in 2nd and third post

[the good war]

heyo links ARE CASE SENSITIVE!...:D (it took me a while to correct my image links) for those of you that would hunt me down i'm 18,i don't think anyone cares but why not get it out of the way. the majority of this work was done some while ago ( alot 2 years ago). id like to hear whatever you have to say. enis code oplo

[the good war]

my friend, brothers and i are planning on making unreal mod for a contest here is my first conart piece for a bot anyone else participating?
http://www.angelfire.com/apes2/tgw/dskctch/grandma_copy_fin.jpg
this will have to do for 2 days

[the good war]

hey everyone i am so happy with the way that this painting turned out and only took a few hours ( which is quick for me but incredible slow for everyone else i hear)... another concept image for the mod... originally it was going to be a regular gay buffalo with a scarf hung around his ankle but things change

http://www.angelfire.com/apes2/tgw/buffalo_fin.jpg

[dARCKLOWN]

Maybe its just me but every pic is red X :/

[the good war]

i think its just you it works for me
alright some very quick sketches havent posted because im lazy and a couple of longer peices are in the works ... quick stuff begin, more mod con art

I really really like your work. Espeically the portraits of the guy. He has cute expressions. Its very impressive that you capture them so well. All around I really am impressed. Keep posting.

Oh it wasn't to bad of a load for me on 56k. (I cant afford to feed the hamsters in the tower to make them work faster..)

[the good war]

heyo, thanks and i am that guy. here is an older sketch for a potential painting... which never took off. i've been camping ect. ect. so no new work right now

[the good war]

heyo i finished the snail, continued work on a drug free design and started to model my grandma with four legs charactor in max( shortly after max crashed)
i was going to add some variation in the shell but i most likely won't use this design so i just finished so it could leave me alone
if anyone could give me some clue as to how craig mullins creates such realistic art i would be forever in your dept
http://www.angelfire.com/apes2/tgw/dskctch/snail_fin_for_internet.jpg

[the good war]

these pictures go in the crappy sketches catagory
the mod i was creating took an entirely differnt turn from i original planned now it has hope!
these images dont relate at all to the mod...
we (my team and i) have just decided it is going to be a western civilization led by a 4 armed buffalo god vs. some atlantians led by the crab grandma that was shown above...excellent stuff.

[the good war]

heyo my new plan for art is to fail and fail constantly.it is the onl way ill learn, i often resist drawing to save myself from frusteration but now i look forward to failing. here is an example... i made these last night in one sitting

[Hunger_Artist]

very colorful aliens.. especially like that granma with claw-feet.

you seem to do some really detailed sketches, it would be neat to see that come out more in your paintings

[the good war]

thanks for the love Hunger_Artist
my paintings often times will be simpler because color is so much more complicated than shading but im learning thanks
- side note today doing these studies i've learned more about my skills and learning style than i did about reality which is unusual. ive learned that im better suited to creating a picture detail by detail because i often become discouraged when the entire pictures color seems off but when you try to match one color then slightly alter that to match the agacent color the image starts to hold itself together more... as if even though it is incorrect colors the colors are comparitivly correct to each other. another thing i learned was that i prefer 100% opacicy because it saves energy and makes you understand the colors your laying down more than if you were to make layered color, and because i enjoy the aethstitic value more. in the hand study i learned to create shading on skin by lowering the value but allowing the saturation to remain the same until you reach your next major value change . also some stuff about color sat. that would be hard to explain. and im making my 100% opac. style follow more rules like detailed areas are complimented by vast simgle tone areas and this balance should be sought after

wow, great textures on the 3d stuff!

[Janshi]

Lots of wicked stuff here, I especially love those out-of-this-world sketches...but your human studies earn also great merit.

[the good war]

thanks

[the good war]

hi everyone
i am just giving everyone a notice that i have run out of space on my server so i am going to have to delete some of the older pictures
:dork: <-he's kinda cool

[the good war]

http://home.earthlink.net/~neo8josh/jonathanlindquist
heyo nothing really major here just some speed paintings trying out some methods I observed while studying some Craig Mullins paintings in terms of logic efficiency technique that type of thing
I found these studies to be extremely useful so far because I do not copy the photos piece for piece at all, but rather I study the picture and gain an understanding of it to the point that I know why the values ect are what they are and then I take my own interpretation of what should happen and correct it to any anomalies I did not anticipate in the photo.
I focus on -
- ease of technique
- gaining lighting knowledge
- Expansion of spatial understanding of natural forms
- generalizing large shapes, values, areas to gain understanding of the whole

Look at the progress!
please bear with the crap for the first couple of images

[jetpack42]

Some of the observations in your studies are real accurate. Others, not so. Keep doing them, and other studies, and try to focus on what you are seeing. Its one thing I am trying to learn myself, but its one big key to better art. Keep 'em coming!!

[killing.people]

nice stuff jonanthan. your stuff is so loose and feels strangely comfortable. i really like your study sketches. thanks for the insiration.

[the good war]

trying to be a good citizen here=)
thanks alot guys your work is also inspirational
good point jetpack, i was focusing on abstracting everything to a level i could understand and memorize but hopefully i will get closer to
reality sooner or later
thanks

i am having troubles uploading the last few images but i am working on it

[jetpack42]

cool, bro. keep working the faces. i need to start doing some of that. your pen work looks the best when you use longer, fewer, lines to describe what you are drawing. Awesome work, keep up the volume. you're going to watts?

[the good war]

thanks ill keep that in mind i have a tendoncy to want to describe a ton of minute devations in form and i end up creating abunch of tiny stabs at the page i and looks like i stabbed the page afterword
i really want to go to watts i got a list of classes in the mail but it turned out to be the courses held during the summer so i sent away for another brochure... i don't know how quickly classes fill up up there so i am kind of anxious

[stormeffex]

good shit jon, your stuff is coming together nicely. your studies are great and the speedpainting stuff is cool. some of the values on the photo studies turned out well. keep it up.

[the good war]

thanks
how's has it be going for you tou? anyone hire you yet?
i am planning on attending the watts atelier this year I'll try to update this sketchbook more when i am in school

btw i just checked out your website and the charactors in your sketchbook are pretty awesome
but for the paintings i would say try to change the color of objects as they go into shadow

[liam.c]

thease are going verry nicly looks like your thinking about thease things productivly .and you seem to have a verry good imigionation .ill keep watching <excuse typing>

[imglue]

MAN the digital paintings need more practice but its your linework and ability in pen that just captivates me. you got something there, its very fine art almost, just practice drawing from life and proportions and such and then just take that to a whole other level.
again, like phil said, ou got some really strong line work and detailed stuff, keep working with it.

[the good war]

ahh it been quite a long period of time

thanks, its nice to be noticed by such talented artists

for two good reasons though i have been creating a few illustrations i will show here at the end of the month and i fucked up my mind boxing... for several hours after boxing every time i would try to focus on something like drawing i would get a splitting head ache i find now that the head ache no longer plagues me but my initial accuracy and detail i am able to put into a drawing has dropped dramatically i feel like i have lost several years of drawing. i found it to be extremely depressing but i am growing once again and where as i scanned 90%of my last sketch i now find myself scanning 10% i finished another 50 page sketchbook but all of it is crap except for these now rare decient images
( far scarier than losing your ability to draw is losing your ability to visual manipulate what you see i found my self stuggling without it for a period of time but its back now)

[maxetormer]

HI

Nice stuff there is some anatomy
errors here and there (the ear on
the smiling fella on the last
one is off anatomy wise.)

But overall they look pretty good and your
imagination is pure gold, so keep at it and post
more often :D I had never finded my self lossing my hability,
I mean, I do strugle some times with things I thought I knew
but I strugle with this things because I dont know
as much as I should know about em.
just never stop practicing dude and you will get
all the skills you wanna get. :D

P. S. increast the constrat of your scans by
using a copy multiply layer of your drawings on top
of your images that way they will look better,
the light of the scanner gets reflected by the
graphite and the result is a loss of contrats.

thank you for the kind words maxetormer i have been attending a few fig study classes lately to get better at anatomy
my friend and i have planned out a comic book-its about slavery, rebellion, war and ironic nessisary evils. so to get in shape for this i created 3 quick paintings today and hopefully a few more tommorrow.....i been pretty horrible about drawing lately i need a job and that has been my main focus so i haven't drawn for about a month- good news though the local college will let me skip the first year of thier computer animation associates degree

Nice work. You're making good progress. I'm insanely jealous of you're linework, so clean and sparkly. How do you do that? You're color studies are coming along too. Keep at it.

Just a preference thing, man, but you might want to alteast do an autolevels adjustment on the pencil sketches before posting them. Some of them are kind of hard to read.

thanks. i started working with pen about 6 months ago or something to work on my drawing alone, if you place yourself in the mindset that the only thing you want to make is the drawing then the drawing has to be clean and nice because you won't have shading or color tho make up for it. i filled up an entire page with little crosshatchings to gain eye hand control , it works because its easy to tell if your hand ever strays one way or another. i think the largest part in clean line work is just the planning that goes into a drawing before you commit with ink... one more think i really like using sharpies now because they are faster, give a stylized look, make comosition easy,and the line work appears better because you don't have to worry about crosshatching or little gaps in the line wok here and there. i would also suggest sharpies because and downfall of differnt line weights next to each other can be avoided if you lead one into another.
when yuo draw make clearity of line your prime concern and it will come

i heard the levels comment before, i haven't scanned any pencils in a while but i will have to remember the LEVELS
