Came upon your gallery. Looked through it all. Had to comment. Amazing stuff man, the kind of pencil art I aspire to, and am working towards. Not to mention it's also the kind of art that gets me all jealous about other's skills lol, but spurs me on, makes me want to do better.

Really enjoyed your artwork.

Just wanted to ask how you got there. Drawing lots of images? Art classes? If that makes sense. I guess what I'm wondering about (while being fully aware that the process is different for many people and pretty much most people should do certain kinds of studies and use references and stuff), is what kind of process you went through to get to where you are today with your art?

I'm aware it's a long question, but just thought I'd ask. Anyways, good stuff man, added you to my watch, looking forward to seeing more.

Hey, thanks for chancing upon my page and just gushed on whatever I did. It does mean a lot when people just give cred for something done hard.

as for your question, you can see i'm a deviant for four years, and if you take a look back to the first stuff, it is actually a painstaking process. it's also financially hard as well.

as a child, i know i'm born for this. i studied art school (i majored in advertising in college) but i never was this good. i got to this point by drawing, at the same time painting (in manual rendering... say... watercolor). to get the satisfaction, of course, you need the resources. perusing through the web just doesn't get it, so you buy books.

after my stint in painting, which i could get away with daft anatomy, i went and worked as an animator. yeah, cartoons. you need to know motion and emotion. after that, i got hooked into comics and just fell in love with the artwork.

always think, "hey, i can do that!"

don't let the financial aspect fool you. don't just improve your craft because you get to do art commissions. do them for yourself.

here's a tip: when you draw figures, look in the mirror.

Hey, thanks for replying!

Have started getting books and stuff. Also magazines. I've also had recommended to me, life drawing classes which, given I've got time, I can definitely look into soon. I've got that drive now, I guess, like I've never had before.

And yeah, the art's all for me really. Just want to develop it more and more. It's a great motivation once you're in that mindset. It's a joy seeing your work anyhow, thanks again.

Looking forward to seeing more!

life drawing's just for drawing naked people. the best thing is prop yourself in a coffeeshop, draw the guy next to you with a laptop, draw that hobo outside, draw that carjacker.

hi, and thanks! and to answer your question, no, i don't use ANY reference for all my works, except maybe for lighting and shadows. i'm admittedly bad at them.

why, are you about to do something really new to your craft?

sure thing. i will give it a fair critique. i was once a fashion designer wannabe. i tried to apply in different clothing companies and all they could say was, no offense to homosexuals, "sorry, you're not gay enough".

Designokee In reply to creative-latina [2009-09-14 15:27:48 +0000 UTC]

someone has to start from something. i started drawing at an early age, you know, picasso style. then as i encountered comics in high school, i tried my hand in human anatomy. i got good at it, enough to be buried under lots of paint during college. after graduation, i made sure that while i work, i will further improve my technique. i went from drawing insanely buff men to the shapely women you see now.

now, i can't even draw a naked man!
