Awesome. Looks like graffiti. I love it.

Shirt design for someone who ended up not wanting it, so still looking for a buyer. Haven't decided on any kind of back splash or anything yet, also made the colors a bit brighter so it's different from the one I've been posting on facebook for those that stalk me.

Played around with charcoal and white acrylic in class today, really liking it. Expect more in the future.

Yeah, they need to be more turned to the right, but I was more focused on trying to get the hang of using the two mediums together. I have to do a real big piece like that, so I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I mess up a piece by doing something dumb lol.

Done with acrylic, spray paint, india ink, and a lot of varnish. Turned out pretty well.

It's been a long damn since you've drawn characters like that

Yeah, unfortunately when I'm up at school I don't have much time for my personal work and then when summer comes around laziness strikes! I'm trying to be better about being productive.

Some of the quick pencil studies I've done so far for my advanced drawing project.

Still getting the hang of acrylic+charcoal. Starting to get a better grasp of it.

Damn! I went through your thread and it was awesome to actually see how much your art and style progressed and refined itself! Keep it up so I have something to check often.

love the cow/woman creepy and surreal.

i like the street art style of the piece with the spray can.

i like how grungy your style can look

Awesome mouse :love:.

Thanks guys.

Here's a quick drawing that unfortunately led to me cracking the glass screen on my laptop. Power cords are assholes.

Bought some real cheap, fantastically ugly frames at Ollies the other day. Banged out a small painting for one of them today.

Here's it in the frame.

aaaaaaaaaaand a scan of the painting so you can actually see it.

And since my friend doesn't lurk on NG, here's a WIP of a poster I'm making him for his birthday. Still need to work out a background, thinking he'll be chased by some cop cars or something.

Finished product for my last project for drawing class. Think it turned out okay, but there's a few things i'm not happy with that I probably won't every go back and fix lol.

Whole thing is charcoal and white acrylic on paper.

Your style really looks like something for a deathcore T-shirt, or something. Maybe not enough blood.

Finished the poster for my friend, really happy with how it turned out. Can't wait to give it to him.

Higher quality here.

forgot to post picture

hawt dayem das sexy

Sketch for my current advanced drawing project, trying out something new with the rendering. I'm liking it so far, thoughts?

very awesome... knees look a bit odd; think his kneecaps are too big

Well, I was trying to make the kneecaps over-sized. They might be a little better when I refine the shading a bit more in the legs, but now that you've mentioned it neither knees seem to line up with the direction the feet are pointed lol. I'll fix that.

Yeah itll prolly look better once its shaded a bit more etc... atm it looks like hes wearing kneeguards.. dunno, fixing their position might just eliminate the problem altogether

Small update, made the knees less shitty.

Digging the style mate!
Reminds me of a modern more graffiti style of 'basquiat'
Keep it up!

Ignore the ' 'basquiat'' thing the first work did, i can see his styles being incorporated in your work really well though. Your style looks like it could be on some band/festival merch

I can't believe I didn't see this thread before!!
You have really awesome stuff here.
