siiilon, the female here is just practise, painting female is my cryptonite so I need to practise in the shapes.
But however I am looking for some kind of theme at the same time. :slight_smile:
Hereā€™s another, Todays:

#82

my oh my I really must find a middleground, one where you open up to add detail but one where you can leave the piece as it is. Hmm nevermind my inner thoughts rambling lol, just a sidenote to myself.
One more today: I hope you can see the two samurais?

#83

This will be my last in this thread.
U know initially I was gonna start this thread with some more people, at the same time as it is fun to post I always get this strange feeling of why I post.
Strange thatā€¦
U know I do things my way and not like the highway.

Maybe I will post some pics in the finished some time. Thanks for the support guys. :slight_smile:
Todays:

Thread Closed, sorry.

#88

Oh thatā€™s bad :frowning:
But anyway, thank you a lot for your advices and knowledge you shared. You will remain one of my greatest inspirations dude.
CU sometime later and somewhere else :slight_smile:

#89

yeah, itā€™ll be a loss.
I find your sketchbook very interesting and inspiring.
I bet, there are more people than you think, who are in awe of your paintings and your minimalistic and yet so impressive approach.
You know, whenever I doodle around, I think often of your thread, likeā€¦ damn, there is this guy, who nails down a painting with a few strokes, I have to learn that too.
You can be sure, you have your fans already :buttrock: theyā€™re just a bit silentā€¦

#90

U guys are very kind, I am thinking about to turn my site into some kind of blog ā€œsketchbookā€ so the work will continue but rather more private than a forum is. Feels weird hijacking a thread like I did, sorry nothing personal guys.
Bet I will see you guys around, will check in here from time to time.
keep up the good work. :slight_smile:

#91

Sad to see you like this my friend. I really enjoyed your work and the help that you have given me, but do what you thinks right. Cya around Matthew.:thumbsup:

#92

Found a blog software that I like now so hopefully I can go with this one, gonna try to update this one.
Gonna go on vacation on friday for a week though but after that I should be back up running again. Thanks for the support guys.
Thank you MattU. :slight_smile:

Hereā€™s my blog and site
http://www.umbus.com/

#93

Hey man, its a loss, but do whatever feels right for your artistic development, just know you have another fan in me and Ill keep an eye on your blog.

#94

Damn what the hell? it is on again lol :slight_smile:

Decided to open the sketchbook again, this will be synchronized with my blog.
One hour sketches from now on but I canā€™t promise to do them daily but that will be the goal.
one hour workout lol

This one became sloppy/
One hour

#95

Awesome Sketchand welcome back my friend.:applause:

#96

Welcome back!

I wonder how long will you stay here considering your unstable nature LOL
Just kidding, I am glad youā€™re here. I will do my best to accommodate my pace to yours.

Just one question : what the hell you do to make your sketches so much storytelling? I percieve it like a great background music, not telling everything, but itā€™s like huge stimpack.

#97

Thanks guys.

siiilon, lol you know me all to well by now haha. :slight_smile:

But you know this one hour is pretty good, think it has potential to pay out in the end. Maybe it will head for more finished just given that you give it more mileage.
Weā€™ll see.
This one started out as a sketch inspired by one guy making an overpaint for me in the car thread over at sijun, cars are difficult though and it all comes down to small things.
Rims are mostly killing me when it comes to cars.
Tried to make a more finished but ****ed up too much, oh well.

rough sketch///

#98

LOL!! Yeah I stay away from cars because the always turn out pretty crappy. The Rims look alright, Iā€™m kinda getting a feeling just by looking at them that ur going for a 4 spoke wheel, but one of ur spokes is a bit chunky. Other than that I think you got it. Like the lighting on the tail lights. Good work.:thumbsup:

#99

yea 4 spokes, I agree with you.
thank you. :slight_smile:

Todays started out as a jedi idea, lost depth I believe./

#100

hey Matthew, you have a very interessting thread. You loose stuff is interessting and shows a lot of potential, but still I would like to see some of that stuff more further refined and developed. You might just pick on area you refine to lead the eye better through your pictures.
