Out of Breath Records Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 What kind of paper do you use for india ink? I've only used it to tattoo, and it's a wonderful black and I wanted to start painting with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedunknown Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've been thinking about making a thread like this, especially after seeing cryprvs' stuff. I need to upgrade to a real website, but I'm using tumblr for now. Very basic: http://dustindonovan.tumblr.com/ The latest is a set of prints that are kinda nsfw, so I'll spoiler it kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I took an art class once when I was 8 years old. I decided to start drawing again. That last one is based on my favorite place- Arch Rock in Pfeiffer Beach. Purple sand! Photo here for comparison: During a few days of the year, the sun sets directly in between the key hole, and it is probably one of the most majestic things I have ever witnessed. brianmorgante, THE_James_Champ and kamalatapes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedunknown Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 There's a lot of great simplification to those, Justice. Saying what you need with brevity. Some people need years of training to bring simplicity back into their work, so that's awesome. kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarzioo_ Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It's bloody so I'll hide it but it's not drawn very well so it's not that jarring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedunknown Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I like it. Makes me think of the aesthetic of something like Superjail in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I just do crappy design work for a living. Sometimes I get to do fun stuff. Sometimes I bang my head against the wall. That's the freelance life, though. www.facebook.com/fleshandbonedesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedunknown Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I hVe no idea what that is Part of the point haha. I call them abominations. I put down an ink wash then find random messes of things in them. Compositionally and conceptually, I'm mainly just focusing on silhouette creation, mark making, and finding loose connections in subject matter at the moment between sketches I make. Since this is the fifth, I'll soon get into more value control and color palette selection. Value will really help give more sense to the mess, but I'm also working on distortion of figure, so things will never really look academic. I want to get back to some traditional figure drawing soon, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedunknown Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Finished old dude sketch from my avatar. Playing with more color. Pretty sloppy. Am I really the only one here who wants to obnoxiously self promote? Not sure how I'd feel about that. Fairmount 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You should move on from wrestling. I think you've mastered that. Try a Fenway scene or something. Unless you are making some bank them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I mean that politely too. Seems like too much talent to do variations of the same thing over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've been kicking around a lot of ideas. I think what I really need to do is iconic scenes in wrestling. But I've also considered doing the same with television shows. Either way, I need to do anything right now, because I've been reeeeal lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
