Hi Guys,
First of I want to thank Rebaccak again for being great to work with and talk to- looking forward to working more with you on the workshop.

Conkrys:Hopefully I’ll be able to bring it.

unclehrum:thanks dude.

Krimble2000: Always an honor and a pleasure to be an inspiration

CyborgJA: Sounds awesome, lets set that up imediately. I must warn you that I am extremely passionate and overbearing, plus there are some hair issues that you might have to get used to. (very magnum-esque) Let me check with my wife to make sure it’s okay, but as long as your cooking italian dishes I don’t think she’ll mind so much :wink:

Diabolos: Cool! If you do- I would love to see it and potentially have it sent to one of those rotosculpting places to have a prototype made of it. I’ve been hoping a baddass modeler would be interested in doing this with either the superman or Thor piece from this thread.

anim_ziggy: cool, keep an eye open for it.

AzoiC: Anytime, feel free to write- I’ll check out your portfolio as soon as I can.

T4D: Hope your still thinking of them, glad they were able to get in your head like an annoying song (mine is the damn theme to mission inpossible- I’f I’m behind the wheel of a car when it strikes- things get dangerous)

Ehsan: Thanks dude- still feel I have a long way to be considered a master of any sort :slight_smile:
your work is progressing amazingly BTW

It’s funny, but getting such a response does the same thing for me.

botched: Thanks- hope to see you in the workshop :slight_smile:

snowkiwi: I have some more cute stuff- I’ll certain add some- Glad you liked the Valhalla post- it was one of my favourite endevours- the one thing that I thought I would have gotten an award for. (oh well) You and I share ther same tastes- the cat is one of my favs as well.

Intervain: Thanks- I’m sure Rebeccak will do an amazing job in keeping you guys updated about the future workshops.

Taibatsu: That is a special piece for me- drew it in a hotel one night while at a show- Mike Kaluta ended up picking it as one of his favourite pieces in the show at Gen Con a year later. It’s hanging in my sons bedroom.

olya: thaaaaaaanks.wow yourself nice portfolio- always good to hear from a fellow Canadian :slight_smile:

Djampa: Thanks I hope it goes well-being my first n all- I am going to studies previous workshops to see what works best.

batte812: Well the tutorial is at the begginning of the thread but the true secret of drawing like that is tons o shrooms…just kidding. Check the tutorial out at the begginning- read the post before it_ I think there are some decent pieces of advice- stuff that I wish someone would have told me 15 years ago.

zdparker: Thanks- Check the tutorial out at the beginning of this thread- it’s up or visit my portfolio. If memory serves correct I believe you have posted in my guestbook- I will reply to your question there. Thanks again.

Thanks again for the callout for an award- it’s nice to have so many people looking out for me.

norvman: hah! not worthy? If you knew how much of a ponce I can be at times you wouldn’t say that :slight_smile:

Blassing: Don’t worry -I’m all in for the workshop- just want to make sure you guys get the most from it- I’ll try and have it ready for April.

AdmiralRa: Thanks!

levin: The tutorial is at the begginning of the thread now- sorry to make you guys wait so long- please read the attached reply as well. Or feel free to check it out at my portfolio here.

Thanks again everyone!!

Gangus,

Thank you! :slight_smile: I’ve added to my post on the first page of your Tutorial links to your new images and tutorial images. I’ll update that post as necessary if you add additional images. That should make it pretty easy to find stuff within the thread.

Cheers!

Glen - can I ask what kind of a pencil you’re using [I mean how soft]? I always have problems choosing those - I think i went through an entire arsenal and usually am happy with the col-erase ones but I’m always happy to hear new tips and suggestions… Thanks for the tutorial - looking forward to more and more :wink: :bounce:

#57

Cheers

Be happy to answer your question:

I like to draw with those sanford col-erase pencils that you mentioned. I ussually start with a light version of the colour that I am going with (If it’s blue than I start with the light blue) If I am going sepia than I start with that yellow_ochra one.
Once I have my basics started out than I move to either the darker blue or Sepia brown wone.

I ussually go over my drawings a third time with a mechanical pencil (ussually a .5- the average size) and work in some outlines and build up some final darks with a 2H-B for the darkest areas in graphite. Odd to add this over top the col_erase work but you end up with a real cool looking finished piece this way. Sometimes If the hatching works really well_I’ll leave the craphite out -or if I am feeling particularily lazy that day :slight_smile:

Thanks for writing in- I’ll continue to add to this post- so please come back and visit sometime.

PS - Kudos to living in Montreal- beautiful city. I was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario…not so beautiful city- good people though.
