ATC's

Friday

I had ordered it a few days ago immediately after watching the video I posted on here, about Hirschfeld. I've never been the type of person who was interested in the history of art or anything like that, matter of fact the only other artist documentary I own is the Frazetta Fire and Ice 2 disc.
and now I find myself interested in finding out about every artist I've ever liked!

what I discovered interesting is that I find a little bit of myself in every different documentary, I can relate in some way or another with these artist including the fact that we all tend to be very solitary figures, we sit alone with our thoughts huddled over paper at our work station, always with our minds set on drawing.

anywho, I quite enjoyed this one, pick it up if you get a chance. the line king

Workshop Day

just finished watching the Nicolas Marlet workshop over at CGMW it was very interesting to see his approach to drawing, It was just a video of him drawing there was no commentary, just a vid of him doing his thing, it left me with a feeling of more to be desired but great non the less. If your a fan of his work I'd recommend you sign up to watch him work.

Trading Card Information

Ok guys, If you are interested in doing the artist trading card (ATC) swap with me. I will need to talk about some personal details with you such as postal mail information and the like. So I have created an email address specifically for the ATC swap. You may email me at

backpacboy@gmail.com

-with the subject as "(yourname) ATC swap" so I can keep things organized, I'd highly appreciate it.

Let the artist trading card fun begin! ;)

I received some sketchcards I ordered from amazon the other day, not sure how I feel about them yet. The difference here is the the cards are textured so pencil lines don't go down as smoothly and the marker tends to bleed out a little more.

also I have not forgotten the robin hood character, tho I'm not feeling the blue lines here, I think I'll switch back to red.

Morning.

If any of you have a PS3 add me to your friends list with a note telling me you know me from the blog, my gamer tag is ABOMINATION. I play a ton of Battlefield Bad company 2 and Red Dead Redemption.

the liars and cheats DownLoadableContent will be out soon for Red Dead I'm so excited for it!

a day with Krang

Who wants to trade?

I still wanted to work some things out then I will caricature the figure.

Also I got my sketch cards ready Mooks, let me know.

So heres the Deal hopefully someone will roll with me on this, it works much like collecting cards when you were a kid (or like me you still buy baseball cards) except your trying to collect artist cards from around the globe! you can purchase these blank cards at your local art store or you may create your own using the specific trading card dimensions 2.5" x 3.5" .

1. create a card and and another artist creates a card. could be anything that you choose to draw (but it MUST be drawn)

2. trade cards with one another over postal mail (you must stick to the code and commit to trading and not screw anyone)

3. on back of card you must write down your name, (doesn't have to be your real name) the link to your website, state, country, card number, or email if you choose.

4. trade with various artists you meet from around the world and share photos of your awesome collection with people.

If you would like to trade with me let me know.

Push it damn you!

I'm trying to work on this next pose here, still making small adjustments that can make it much stronger this is generally what the early stages of my work look like. but since I'm trying a bit more here I really need to focus on exaggerating the gesture next. I find it easier when I lay down a semi generic pose and build on top of that, but I'm trying here so go easy on me. ;)

I had to try something with a situation after drawing Namor with a situation-less pose. The above says he's kicking back having a brew more or less.
