My good friend Ben York died two years ago of brain cancer. he was also an exceptional soccer player and wanted to make a small tribute. Miss you, Ben.

I do Sethard.com but you're better off going to my deviantart page cause I never update my blog for some odd reason. Warmup pic:

Thanks man, added to the bookmarks. :)

Fuck cancer, I lost my dad to it as well. Your friend would be proud. I dig the cool shadows and painterly style you used on it.

...aaand some movie monster inspired drawing I did recently.

Quickly finished up the coloring on that construction practice drawing I did. Trying to get better at coloring, got a lot more practice ahead, this came out aight.

[MindCollizion]

I saw this as an image one day while looking at pictures on Google and instantly wanted to draw it myself. So I did, and here it is.

I've been wanting to get back into drawing but there hasn't been that spark that compels me to get into it.

Last self portrait for a while. Watercolor and some slight digital fixes.

Beginner question about blocking in greyscale values (in PS): say a person is wearing dark blue pants, a bright yellow top, and has a mid skin tone. Do all these parts of the character have the same mid, light and dark values? And its when I add colors afterwards that dark/light parts are differentiated? Or will the bright shirt have a brighter mid-tone than the pants?

Sorry if that's worded poorly, haha. It's kind of hard to explain.

Fun little doodle i did:

I've been drawing soccer since I was a little kid. Back in school i drew soccer comics like, all the time. maybe its time to get back to that? The most fun part was drawing your friends as soccer players, so here's my friend Jorge (aka: Lalo) from Mexican middle school :)

He probably had the best field vision out of our team, really good technical skills (unlike me who, er, likes to shoot as hard as possible all the time and hope it works out)

This stuff looks awesome! Can't wait to see whatever the story is.

One of my latest:

I know it would read completely different, but I think it would look better with all the text in one place. Now there's no room anywhere which kinda goes against the whole mountains! vibe.

The colours are spot on.

Doing an exhibit at a jazz bar called Kind of Blue, here are some picks from my sketch book. Im gonna transfer them onto canvas and redraw them in blue tones:

They're all rough drafts, I'll exhibit about 30 marker paintings. Excluding some receipts Ive drawn on.

[Jipan]

Highluxury, that looks amazing! I love the simplicity of the lines; it makes it look you did the figures in one massive stroke. The textures look great too.

I gotta get around to posting some more of my subway sketches soon. I just need to find my phone's USB cable, or charge my camera's batteries and take pictures of them. I've done a lot more of them; they're pretty fun to do.

Thanks! Yeah, I did indeed. I never use an eraser. I just keep going. Anything/everything I ever do comes out in one go. Drew strictly with ball pens for years. That and most of my sketches/works have flaws, but I just build on them and turn the result into something different than I began with.

Thats probably the reason why people tell me, my style is so oddly original (Well my motives/composition are anyway).

Some times when Im done with another sketch, I go back to a previous one and add details if I feel they fit or compliment the idea/concept.

I've always loved/ been envious of wizardry with colors. Jesus.

Fan looper poster i made

Sorry to be "This guy", but are there any tutorials online for this effect in photoshop? As in the crinkled or slightly old paper style?

[Prax]

There probably are filters/fill patterns, but I think it's better if you just scan in or find a really high res texture of old paper yourself. Then just throw it on overlay or any of the other modes and see what looks nice.

ooo! Love this one, dude. Great design! You gonna end up making that soccer comic?

[Messypandas]

Nothing to be sorry for, i used a photoshop brush to get this effect applied on a new layer and then played around with the opacity. I can PM the brush file if you'd like

There are some great pieces here. :3c

These two of mine aren't too serious, but maybe they'll make someone laugh.
I get sucked into random generators too easily.

"This animal is covered in dark pink scales and has a body shaped like a turtle. Its face resembles that of a cat and its eyes remind you of a rat's. It has a pair of long horns and a set of bat-like wings"



"You are a tsundere of doom in the land of dragons and tea your specibus is fistkind your consorts are fat birds."

I wish it could've been fisticuffs instead. Because I love that word

[Raging Spaniard]

Thanks! I dunno if I wanna make a book or ... other things, but hopefully it'll be cool :)

Quick question for art Gaf,

What is the best way to use india ink for drawing without a quill, or calligraphy quill? I have not uploaded any physical works here, but this image I am posting is from an artist with very similar work to mine. I would love to be able to draw with the dark blacks of india ink, because pigment pens really aren't my thing.

Also, when a work is finished, how do I scan/edit in a way that the image is completely black and white, and everything is deep and dark?

Good guide to getting the blacks black in their own layer:

[Haly]

The software that comes with most scanners will have the option of scanning in color, grayscale, or black and white. I wouldn't recommend black and white though, because it's very sharp and full of noise, even if your drawing is in ink. The better option would be to scan in grayscale then play with the levels in photoshop.

I use watercolor/acrylic brushes when I use ink. It can't be cheapo wal-mart brand, but the kind that costs ~around five dollars a brush from your local art store. Just have a small thing of water nearby to rinse.

Really? Great news, they did a final sprint.

Does anybody here have a good online tutorial that teaches you how to paint with light sources and stuff on for example metal balls or whatever? I find it really hard to try to differ in materials only by using different lighting...
