here are some of my older ones, i believe i've posted them all before, but way back so newer visitors of this thread may not have seen them. i'll put them under NSFW tags so that they don't overload anyones computers with images because theres a few of them. :)

pennywise, i hope you enjoy my more composed style. :)

i've heard that from a few people and can't wait to do that! when i get to school i'm sure i'll get to, but something makes me feel creepy about asking a friend to model while i draw them. :(

most of them probably wouldnt even mind, but i don't know how to ask without coming across as a weirdo haha. :D
 
ya actually i can't stand to draw people i know because they can never fucking sit still. have to catch them sleeping lol.

best to have a paid figure drawing session in school!

regardless your prismacolor drawings are great, they look like vectors in illustrator lol

I like this one. It has that cool combination of abstract and real that I was talking about in your other piece. It strikes a nice balance.

Thanks for using the NSFW tags too. I'm sure you can all see how it keeps the thread from getting a little too out of control and jumbled. For one or a few images, especially if they are smaller, it's fine to just post the images. But if you are posting a bunch of images, especially larger ones, I would appreciate if you all wouldn't mind using the NSFW tags like ryan did. Thanks. :)
 
i done this for my girlfriend a few weeks ago (pastels on canvas).
its actually the first major 'different' style of artwork i have yet produced.

Once you're in school you won't feel so weird about it at all. It's just routine at that point, and your friends and family will understand. I once spent an entire weekend working on homework drawing my husband and children's feet and hands, lol.

If you're not comfortable drawing from them right now, use a mirror and draw yourself or draw your own hands or feet without a mirror. Don't get me wrong, your work is skilled (your use of line weight, color (and lack of sometimes), and the depth you're able to show), but there really is a lot to be learned from drawing from life. A picture flattens the image for you. Your eyes don't have to translate a 3 dimensional vision on to paper (or canvas, whatever it may be) - which can take a lot of practice to master.

Anyway, it's nice to see the progression of your work over the years. I think it's obvious that you've developed your own unique style and I'm honestly really excited to see how that evolves once you go through school.

[and i have to add that i'm guilty of often saying 'that's nice' or 'nice stuff':o more often than not though, it's because i don't feel i have the time to type out a huge critique or analyzation of someone's work - OR wonder if they'd welcome it, but it caught my eye enough to comment on it. soooooooooooo, i'm going to attempt to stop doing that, but know that it doesn't always mean the person doesn't like it - they took the time to comment, even if it was generically.;)]

I meant more in terms of IRL. On here, I'm sure people appreciate any comments. Although it's not to hard, if you see something you like, to type out a sentence or two that explains what it is about it that you like, or even some sort of constructive criticism. I have to think that if people weren't able to hear comments about what they could do to try to improve their work, they wouldn't be posting it here for everyone to see and comment on.

awesome you are my favorite bluelight artist

i was wondering if you could do a piece that i want to get tattooed , involving a hypodermic needle , a bit like the black & white style you have in your gallery?
 
ya ryan great shit man, imma post some of my own shit once they finish uploading. bleh they will look like shit cuz i pic'd em offa my camera phone. ill scan em someday
 
heres my self portrait. btw im notorious for not finishing any of my artwork
Image034.jpg


this is 1 of very few that i actually finished
Image033.jpg


this is an assignment for my rapid viz class. not done obviously
assignment is called Mechanical Animals
Image031.jpg



Image039.jpg


theres a few of em. ill probably post more. deffinatly will post more once i find acces to a scanner
 
here's a piece i've been working on. its not done, imo. also this .jpg isn't really reproducing it very well. illustrator vectors tend to piss me off when saved for web >< i think if you click for the full scaled version it looks better

self_portrait.jpg
 
^ that one's cool as fuck though. whether or not the scan did it justice, it still looks quality man, i cant wait to see it when it's done. are you putting any water color in it (do you know yet?) or are you just kind of winging it?

anyways... about your previous portraits... i like the way they tend to pop off the paper. they give the viewer an uncomfortable feeling but they're still deep enough to keep the realism. they have a similar feel to the style of derek hess.
 
here... i did a thing for my buddy... since i'm probably going to be going into graphic design for school, i've tried just experimenting (novice as it is... gotta start somewhere) and i threw this quick basic thing together for my buddy. it's a picture of him, digitally manipulated with some most primitive of programs. :D
