Marker Sketch Girls

[serj]

Hello! I've posted here several sketches for you. Comment's are welcome. Luck to all!

[CamiloDragon]

sexy and strong

[Serpian]

Wow..

[newman]

lovely stuff serj!
particularly like the bald girl with her back turned, v. nice tone work on that one.

[ICH]

Nice works here, and good use of markers.
I like the poses and the "mood of skinny girl" on your stuff.
The only thing that bother me is some too visible seamless whit Charest's work, like this:

[Carnifex]

the first two ones aren't as strong as the rest,but those others are simply great.
i keep thinking that the one with the two girls would make a great tattoo for some reason.

[Jorge Gecov]

I really like it!!!
Very good stuff here, congrats.
It reminds me Feng Zhu artwork.

[Ming_64]

These are great! The mechs especillay are superbly detailed.

Also, there's something a bit retro about-looking about these (80s I think), maybe because they're rendered in markers. I think it's very refreshing.

[yoitisi]

Very cool, I see I've got something to learn here, being a frequent user of markers too :) Awesome.

The anatomy is a bit questonable here and there, specially the transition from body to legs in the front views. Mainly in the first drawings though.

[Summer Pudding]

Mmmm, there's some really arresting images here. I'd really like to see the tone and palette.of them worked up more in some of them.

Spuddlington

[JAG.]

great designs.. def reminds me of Feng. good stuff though :D - JAG

[novenus]

Very sexy... I see that you like your women bald! One additional comment: the motorcycle and its exhaust. Simply impossible and ridiculously phallic. It doesn't work for me. :}

[VashTheStampede]

wow wow wow and wow. i totally dig those.

[Lohan]

hey. looks like feng zhu

[GUYJIN]

looks better than feng zhu (IMHO)

[dragon4lunch]

Hehe, I think you can at least crank out girl a little better than the Feng, but I'm not going to diss the Feng of course. His environments rock!

I agree with the afore mentioned exhaust. Good stuff though! Tight! :)

[Lone Wolf]

Cool stuff. Great vehicle designs on your website.

[Reilly]

Wow, man, I love these!
These are all with markers? Any chance you could talk about your process a little?

[Mitchell]

Pretty cool mate! I also saw the Travis Charest influence in them, but cool none the less.

[Evan_L]

Jolly good work!
I like your use of bold linework and tone to describe forms, you pulled it off well. Sometimes its nice to get those really solid clean lines in there! Gad thats an ugly motorcycle! And I thought mine was un-ergonomic looking :)

[serj]

Thanks to all for your comments. Here's another set of marker sketches.

[serj]

.....

[redcap]

Very nice work!
Love some of the expressions on some of the girls.

Your work looks a lot like Feng Zhu's... If you have not seen his site and his tutorial items , you should take a look.

[MeTaL-Mike]

Awesome drawing man. I love cool chick designs. Rocks dude!!

[prayas]

pretty awesome stuff! love to see even more.

P..:

[Hookswords]

I love this collection. Please keep posting your great works

[slydark]

wow.

I love your work.
great job for sure!!

[Kan Muftić]

Phuckin outstanding! Haven't seen original pancil & marker work for a while now.
Congrats mate!
Five stars!

[The Fritz]

I like'm, all a bit same same, but very professional, brings Feng Zhu into my mind! Nice work!

[Haxxxor]

wow this is really impressive...

!!!I absolutly love your style... the mechanics rock like hell!
Mate please keep it up and try some different things to.

5 Stars from me

[serj]

Thanks all :)

[Verithin]

Feng + Frazetta (- the colour) ='s SERJ!

Beautiful stuff... marker master and some dern sexy gals!

[Sammy]

-- Solid, classic ID style! feels great to see some markers on canson!

[DiMb]

i really like your style.. can you let m know what tools you use to create these images... im pretty into the concept art style but enjoy working off the computer more than one.. seems you've found a good way to do this...
DiMb

[Blue Severin]

These are great, I love that they're trad media too. Stuff like this just makes me want to go draw.

[Kilbourne]

repeatedly awesome and astounding

[B.Rockwell]

Crazy marker skills you got there. :hatsoff:

[Dolgopolov]

хорошие работы, стилистика киберпанка радует, единственное что смущает-это некоторая стилизованная угловатость тел персонажей, ну это на мой вкус уже

[El_Bert]

Bookmarked this one ;) My list of fav threads grows big.

Great works. Still has that "straight-from-the-sketchbook" feel to it, and I like that.

[Pippis]

Hello Serj!

I may have missed this part when not looking through all the comments in this thread, but, what kind of markers do you use? Do you begin with ordinary pencils and advance with ink and marker?

Lovely work! I like every part of if!

[wheezy]

You are currently my hero...that may change in a couple hours from now...but right now, in this moment, you are my hero.

[Lord Dubu]

I think this might be my favorite thread in the past 6 months. Holy crap these are awesome and inspiring. Makes me want to draw again... which I haven't done in... (wait for it) SIX MONTHS.

[asoir]

incredible work!

[joe12south]

I LOVE that last update, the archer. Good, good stuff.

[Dragonis]

AMAZING ARTS!

i have been wondering if you have some tutorials which you could show us? that would be awesome... :D thx

[Lotet]

LOVE EM! fresh style, nice colors...nice, everything!

[serj]

[Lord Dubu]

Holy crap that batch is full of awesome!!! Especially: The armored lizard writer guy.

[Jutami]

Great stuff. I love how your technical and very detailed constructs still look very clear. I'll just join the others in the choir singing awesome. :D

Cheers

[Kilbourne]

AAAAWWEESSSOMMMEE!!!!!


augh! greatness... overloading... eyeballs...! talking... like... Shatner!

[Deselect]

Beautiful work. I am always a big fan of pencil, ink and markers sketches. Happy to have discovered yours. I would love to see more variation in the subject matter, but you have highly creative and detailed work!

[Razorb]

really impressive :) makes me wanna use markers again !

[MeTaL-Mike]

Again. Your stuff rocks man. do you my any change have a tutorial on your technique? would you be interested in making one? it would help us newbs a lot man.

Cheers

[cakeypigdog]

top banana: really nice design, rendering and style.

[StompinTom]

aawesome marker technique and amazing drawing abilities! how do you get such bright popping white highlights so crisply? and what sort of paper is that, i cant read it.

[aefx]

Amazing work Serj! If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for your white highlights? I'm having trouble finding something satisfying to use for white highlights on marker.

[Dr.Satan]

Robots + naked ladies = goodness.

I like the older work that shows how you build on your sketch with the markers in a very painterly fashion. These have a nice solid look to them.

Good work.

[Twisted Synapses]

Seriously... this is some amazing work. You've got the technology, and the hot hot ladies. Beautiful stuff man, I cannot wait to see more! :teeth:

[Looped_Warrior]

Very Impressive Marker Renderings....

[SpookyFish]

Your work is truly inspiring. I especially like the camoflauged sniper, the attention to detail is superb. You mentioned using Copic markers, could you possibly try to explain your technique a bit? I've just recently started doing marker sketches I'd really like to know how you achieve that amazing look. I'm currently using a 20 set of Staedtler fibre-tip pens, but I'd really like to get a set of Copics once I can afford it. Just out of curiosity, how many markers do you use?

[solidcube]

You think these are good, check out his real gallery here:
http://serjjart.com/?c=2

And cry.

All I'm saying, Serj, is that I think you must make heavy use of a ruling pen.

Because these rule.

[Lotet]

again...wow, just amazing, simply beautifull

[Chermilla]

Incredible skills you have! I really dig your style a LOT. I'm not really into the whole naked girls in skimpy underwear thing BUT you do it well, and I love the cyborg/mechanical influences throughout and the oversized weapons and armor.

Do you use pantone pens to do these? Because I tried using them once I found it pretty hard to do, plus they cost SO much money to buy!

Is there a certain set you use, colour wise? I'd love to know!!

Thanks, and keep posting.

[Chermilla]

copic markers

Oops, soz just read this!! :)

[CaptainInsano]

yeah, these are pretty frickin' dope. that sniper one is really cool.

[serj]

Some color sketches

[Maikel]

over nice ,this thread is so hot

[Derek Gores]

Like everyone else, I love 'em. However I bet you are hoping for a challenge in the remarks somewhere in the posts, so here goes: Everything is so high contrast that I bet you would find quite a challenge depicting a scene with lots of space, lots of layers of complex figures in a busy environment. (Currently every little piece has extreme lights and darks). Basically, I'd like to see you try something with some atmosphere and depth, instead of just the detailed figure in shallow space. Go for it!!

2nd challenge: Your range of mechanical forms is quite broad. Your organic form range is much more simplistic. Try to go nuts exploring how to render life with the same enthusiasm! Cant wait to see the results!

You might enjoy some of my work.

Thanks again!

[Kresh]

whatever you're doing....dont stop

[Magnethead]

I like this stuff a lot.

really enjoyed looking at it.

you can tell some of it is either older work or isn't using as much reference. either way its cool to see the difference.

nice work.

[voraz]

Great style and concepts, keep it up!
cheers

[MeTaL-Mike]

awesome dude. thanks for sharing your work and materials with us.

[Demonique768]

Hey some really nice work!
sometimes the skirts are a little too straight or flat? like they should curve around the leg... i dont know sides that some really nice stuff

[oddjob]

oh man, i love your style. more please.

[Zombie_Frog]

Wonderful work. Very sharp rendering.

[Obi-one]

the last update is very nice, especially the orks. The renderings are impressive.

[Dragonis]

You rule man!!!

Your works are awesome! i love especially the Archer woman, OGRS and knight! the last ones are breathtaking. You use Copic Markers buy i would like to ask what paper do you use. Lot of people say they prefere normal print paper instead of special paper for markers. What is your opinion about it? you are one of the best marker artists here so i would be grateful if you could tell sthg about it :D

and one more... have you got some tutorials to show us? that would be AWESOME!!! THX :D

[serj]

Here all tutorials that I have :(
paper Canson and "Gosznak"

[MeTaL-Mike]

Really awesome dude! just can't get enough of this stuff man..

[Loga4]

Awesome drawings and concepts!

[zao75231]

wow, amazing :)

[Chermilla]

KEEP 'EM COMING!!! Love the dragon, he's awsome. :)

Cx

[Lotet]

WOW...love the ORC stuff! damn ur good

[Coleb]

Awesome dragon. Is that white pencil on top of the marker?

[Alex Alexandrov]

yes what is the white stuff on top of the marker i use paint on my works but yours is too clean is that Photoshop overdrawing ?

[Seraphim Collective]

I really love your style, and attention to detail. Thumbs up!

[serj]

white stuff :)

[Kan Muftić]

Shit... Fucking speachless.. I quit!

[Utum]

I love your style, really interesting work you have here. I could be looking at it for hours. One thing i'd like to ask you is if you could give some insight in the process, what material (i already saw the pictures up there) you use and your workflow.

I think your style is really unique in itself, but many people (or at least I) would appreciate it.

Another thing is, if you ever have time, why don't you drop by the Character Of the Week section. It would be indeed very funny to see some entries from you there.

Anyways, keep posting you're 5 stars guy.

[Dragonis]

many thanks for answering and for more paintings! they are amazing :D thx and keep posting!!! :D

[eartai]

Wow, I really like what I see here. I'm going to have to keep watching your thread!

[stoph]

your girls, especially some of the latest stuff, are gorgeous! i think, however, my favourite would have to be the the girl in the second page, top center. this is some real eye candy, the fact its all marker and pencil is a credit to you, sir! :yayca:

[solidcube]

This is a stylistic quibble and not specifically directed toward you...

Those cartoon-stylized orcs are done to death. They were done to death back in the late 80s when Games Workshop was still pioneering the style. And then of course Blizzard came along and took it even further.

See if you can make them sinister again. Originally they weren't supposed to be these somewhat dopey comedic figures; they were supposed to be scary.

The technical execution is of course amazing, on all of it. Keep it up!

BTW what are the specific brands on your white stuff?

[JTumburus]

just 3 words: out- stan - ding!!! :P

[Derek Gores]

Still hot! What other kinds of stuff do you do? Love to see these in charcoal. Or paint!! Or 8' tall... Surprise us!

[AntiMatty]

some really awesome stuff! what kind of markers do you use?
* oops* , now i see copic markers huh? those are like $6 each here.

[Lelle]

I am amazed, thank you for showing!

[kev ferrara]

Sweet hotties and cool machinery. Keep up the good work!

[pogonip]

Man this stuff is freaking awesome ! I love your style please more more more !! Im a for your art ....

[altologico]

your marker skill is great!!

wow . . .

[Ryan DeMita]

dude you've got mad skillz with the markers. respect. i like your tech work more so than the figurative stuff. i think your figures are simple compared to the complexity of the machines, props, and the like. they may benefit from more definition of form to make them pop out. in some images, your figures work because of the nice contrast of detailed mechanics and the simplicity of the figure. regardless, this stuff rocks. keep it up!

-ryan

[orionlesc]

Very gooD drawing man!

[VOYAGER]

Чувак, ты жжешь, мощные работы, неужели это все без фотошопа?! Просто атас!!!
Mad stuff is here. Outstanding. Keep it up!!!

[Nadiamoon]

Wow. Klassnie illustrazii. O4en ponravilis. Sexualno i "mechni4no".
Keep going

[thundercake]

I check this thread every time I come here...fantastic :D

[beetleboy]

really cool stuff! Just out of curiosity how many markers do you get through in a month?

[Me,Myself & Me again]

All i have to say is " WOW"

Keep postin plz

[Rhythmus]

Excellent stuff, i am very impressed with both your concepts and your very clean, precise execution of them.

And is it wrong to be so attracted to the girls with the blades on their arms?

[chuck18mp]

your stuff's inspiring me... wow it's so nice ! But I would like to see front sides of some of your works like the girl with the baseball bat and the archer girl too thanks .

[Pavel Sokov]

great work, i love how you render metal

[Vinicam]

no more works? i really love your stuff...

[Velocity Kendall]

These are wicked cool! They remind me of the concept drawings for the Incal and Heavy Metal or Ron Cobbs sketches!

[Dragonspit]

I gotta agree with Ryan's comments. in the end, its a treat to look through the thread.

[DANKA]

Very very nice sketches! i agree with Carnifex, the first are less good then the other ones..that seem to improve much!
Very good mecha-design, and good marker technique!
You love Feng Zhu right? ;-) keep up!

[FightingSeraph]

Excellent stuff, Serj. Makes me want to do more stuff with my copics.

[Jalc]

awsome stuff ! markers are awsome ofc :P

[George Pfromm II]

beautiful. the red and blue girl wearing number twelve is my favorite. all of this is really amazing.

[serj]

Thanx to all!) I really appreciate Your opinion

[Vinicam]

Thanx to all!) I really appreciate Your opinion

:)

But you gonna update with more marker works? I really like marker sketches, and your are my favorites!

[Big Orange]

I really like those drawings, very Heavy Metal in tone, I'd say.

[serj]

:) I've got to search maybe in my case) - there could be some more marker sketches, I did not draw such stuff last time (

[Vinicam]

hope you find more... :)

[Mox3d]

Oh if I weren't so tied up. Just wonderful material all the way. It appears to me that you treat life and mech in similar styles but that your life forms are quite regimented and disciplined in contrast to the wild machine creations and I admire that greatly.

[lord_senneian]

Fucking WOW!

[autoo1014]

Very
Cool
