Stupid exams make me not draw. Still, I got a sketch done.

I DRINK ALONE. Based on George Thoroughgood's song.

dude, normally, your finished work is so crisp and angular but i gotta say, i love the raw energy of your pencil lines. Like a lot. Slick work!

Awesome shit man. Only issue I have with it is his sword handle kinda runs a tangent into his left arm, I thought the handle was his fore-arm. But otherwise looks great man.

This is great character design right here: very distinctive, with a nice silhouette.

Agree with the tangent thing that Dave mentioned. But yeah, I really dig the energy in the lines.

Whoah, thanks for all the comments!
You guys are right on all accounts - I'm rather rusty since I hadn't drawn for a while, but I had no time to deal with the tangets tangent. Also, I am painfully aware that my pencils far outmatch my finished work, even tho they are by no means stellar. I will definitely get at least one finished thing this month, only, sadly, not today.

OPEN THE GATES OF BATTLE! So the female half-orc monk can kick the crap out of the ogre. I was there when it happened.

When I was a kid I used to love Metzen's Warcraft 2 loading screen sketches. In fact, they got me into drawing.

I will not do one-character sketches this february, for that would be cheating.

I love coming to threads seeing sketchy stuff, to me it's kind of the point of this challenge, to keep it loose and exercise, not try to impress with FINISHED art. Even colors can hold the "loose" look and a few people are doing excellent with it. So no apologies man, these are looking great.

Yes, and Mjolnir is lodged in its skull. Or at least that was the general idea.

After walking around most topics (I couldn't see them all and comment there, despite my best intentions) I realized two things:

1. Everyone on this forum is awesome.
2. There's not nearly enough bears, dinosaurs or sharks.

So I decided to fix that with my next pic, and upload it before I go to bed, so I can get some work done tomorrow. Here goes:

Some strange japanese comtraption - some sort of a brush pen, although I know not its name, since it's in Japanese. And since it's the unoficcial 'draw a dog day' I whipped up this Post-apoc wolf.

i wish I could work on that more, but I don't have the strength - some crappy virus beat me to a pulp today. Hopefully - more tomorrow.

Dude. That Metzen-inspired one is so clearly Metzen-inspired. I always loved his work in the old Warcraft manuals. Way to capture that essence!

Thanks, Slothjammer. I really appreciate your opinion - it is because of one of your post backs on the Tavern that I started paying more attention to colors and stuff.

And now - KUNG FU PANDA vs. BOXING BEAR. That would make an awesome Rocky-style movie, albeit a rather short one.

These are awesome sketches man. I really love how loose everything is. And there's a good amount of bears here but there could always be more. I like the sketches you inked also, great lines there.

Well, here it is, my FEB 07, 30 minutes late. Drat and double drat.

These are rough sketches for Post-Apoc Riding-hood.

I can only imagine how you must hold your pencil to get those kinds of sketch lines. You're somehow able to draw really "fast-looking" lines, which must mean you're probably holding the pencil kinda loose, and maybe fairly high-up the shaft (yuk yuk), but you're also able to throw in harder/darker, sharp/pointy lines in to the mix too, meaning there must be some pressure there as well. I dunno - however you're doing it, the results are pretty distinctive; it creates like... a really energetic feel with a lot of power behind it and strong shapes with curves leading in to points, etc.

But yeah - it's great to see you on the boards, hangem. I still remember when you coloured bayless's superhero drawings and it still blows my mind to this day the direction that you took them in and how cool they were, haha.

So yeah, the sketches are cool, colour is cool, it's all cool. Cool cool cool cool cool! Cool!

Cog, this was an awesome post. It really was.
There's no secret to how I draw the pencil - just like everyone else, I only try not to spend too much time drawing - if it sucks, move on to the next pic - every next thing you do is better than your previous stuff, so dwelling on something that sucks gets you nowhere.

I also like being on these boards, I'll start walking around giving everyone a piece of my mind ASAP.
About these sketches - I have no clue where they're going, may have to redo the rat. The face of the fox is an example of sticking to it till it comes out the way you want it to - hence the graynessness

Image

EDIT: also

I'll be honest, your looser more abstract form is way more confident than when you try to make things a bit more generic. Dont you dare stray again, Im loving it when you're not so worried about bringing things 100% home, keep em loose as hell man.

Yeah, but sometimes it simply yields crappy results.
I have decided to post colored stuff from the 14-th on.
Luckily, it isn't the 14th today.

This could've been a great picture, if someone else thought of it.

Thanks guys and yes, it's just that.

I'll redraw it after the 14th and finish it - I also thing it's a neat idea, even if I say so myself.
