It's that time again. Here ae a few pages from my sketch collection. My last few attempts at digital stuff failed miserably, so to get my bearings I've been sketching a lot more. They're not in any particulaer order.
An admiral type, a morbidly obese fairy, and a....I don't know what he is really.


I like the center figures head, as well as the crazy man behind him. people on my end really like the guy on the bottom.


Just a few more heads. The scences were an experiment to establish a more believable atmoshpere.


This one is based on a friend of mine. i was origionally going to title it "No more 'I love you's'", but I think Zid has a picture with that title. So for now it will just be the emotional portrait of someone who has said I love you to far to many unworthy people.

Damn fine!

Nice and clean, mmmmmm^_^

[Sedone]

These are really nice, Isric. I especially like the second page. The pic of the girl is good, too. It's just beggin' for color. Well done!

[klaivu]

These somehow appear less disney-like than the one in your previous sketchbook post. Love 'em. No bad crits.

edit : I'm too kewl fur grammur

you are such a good artist, and these are great sketches. I really like that guy with gogles. You made my day.

[janne]

great stuff! good to see you draw different kind of people portraying different kind of emotions. you are not stuck in stupid maneers and bad habits like i am. wonderful stories could be told with your skills.

janne.

[Frost]

Awesome stuff Isric! Love the characters, nice feeling to them and their expressions.

[Wyatt Turner]

WOW thats some cool style you have there almost a disney style of sorts. I like the cartoony-ness. I guess thats another thing for me to try out.

[nova]

Wow I could never do that sorta stuff. My favorite is that entire page of heads.. the crazy man one. Kepp it up!

[ReSistanZ]

Wow, you are improving every post! I think this stuff is sooooo sweetish!!!

I like the unbelievable clean lines you've made, did you use an eraser much? And what kind of pencil?

"Ooohh, you going wit yo bad self!" (Cruel Intentions)

[J Bradford]

Love your style Isric.

[Adam Soulraider]

beatiful work. It reminds me of Disney and i think would look good in a movie. Keep it up!

[-Tepox-]

Lovely stuff! they're so clean.

[Luci]

Im still looking at the girl on the pillows, It kinda looks like me, and a lil feels like me, from way back... *sniff* keep up the beautiful fine drawings, I'm loving them.. thanks Isric

-Luci

[Bishop_Six]

Wow, isric, these are really nice. I agree with the people on your end about that guy at the bottom of the page. He's got a lot of character.

Off the subject... has anyone noticed that all victor villian seems to do is post odd pictures in other people's threads?

[Francis]

Nice sketches. You rule.

[edible snowman]

if im half as good as you were/are getting out of highschool, i will be really happy.

[burn0ut]

victor villan is the shiznit

[Isric]

Wow, great to hear from you all.

Rinaldo, as tasty as my clean lines are I really dig the richness of yours

Sedone, thank you. I would love to see you color it. My permission is given, I love your style and I think it would suit very well.

klaivu, haha finally! No more 'these look like disney' comments. That helps muchos

Blitz, many thanks. Glad to hear the plainness works for you. An thanks aswell about the art college, I'm still pumped. I WILL drink beer.

agent44, I admire your stuff a lot so it's great to hear from you. It would make sense for goggle boy to please you I suppose, I was going for your 'cleanliness'. I've always loved it.

Janne, sweet, thanks. I don't think your stuff comes across as being 'stuck in stupid maneers and bad habits'. I would love to see you paint some of these.

Frost, support is much appreciated. I've always gone for straight human emotion

Wyatt Turner, cartooniness is a lot of fun once you understand reality. Like...I think it was Davinci (correct me if I'm wrong) who had all those sketches of people with huge noses, or eyes, ears etc.. He was just having fun, and that's sort of what I'm trying.

Nova, thanks, I will.

ReSistanZ, danka. I rarely use an eraser. I just let my mistakes guide me. Just a mechanical pencil and some computer paper.

Bradford, keen.

Adam Soulraider, I'm trying. Maybe someday it will be.

-Tepox-, well thank you! that's what I was hoping for.

Luci, thats so sad. Really though, it's people like you that I do this for. If someone is touched or reminded of something, I've done my job. In the days of old I made this picture, and it made this girl cry. She had a whole story that was very touching, but my picture reminded her of where she once was. That sort of stuff makes me feel like a success. Thank you more than you know.

Bishop_Six, thanks man, and yes. I've noticed how useless and distracting he gets. But I just ignore him.

Francis, thanks, but you worked on Exile, hence YOU rule. hehe. I Really want to see what you'll do next, so stop commenting and draw!

edible snowman, I am happy, so know that it's not going to waste. I really am thankful for all the encouragement you've given me for the past while now. Thank you.

burn0ut, yes. Yes he is.

Well that's everybody. I'll post more eventually I'm sure. Now go make me artwork in appeasement! Blarn!

[Blitz]

Drink Lots of it...College goes by even faster that way =P

[Joachim]

great work Isric, as always.
Are thse sketchbook drawings something you draw straight on or have you cleaned them up ? -just wondering

[Morgoth]

Wow cool!!! Can't stop watching 'em :)

[Collosimo]

Very nice.. I would love to be able to draw so well.. and I'm going to...

Really good characterisations.. nice technique... I like your subtle rendering..

[DiXter]

Wooh, Nice sketches Isric.
Love the guy with googles and diver suit or whatever his wearingm, very cool.
Finnish that one!

[Capt.FlushGarden]

You son of a b#"%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and how old are you, 18? do you animate those figures too or what?...dahmn you're good! please teach me!

[TheMilkMan]

Neat stuff isi!!!

[FFNeX]

I think your style ressembles Agent44's or vice-versa so it's easy to see why you like each other's art, I really like both, I think they are very similar and they both rule, I can't get enough of it.

[u2art]

As Always, I love it. I like your variety in proportions. It seems like you dont like hearing "hey MAN! That looks like Disney!! AWESOME!!" But you know...they are some of the best draughtsman anywhere. I would take it as a complement EVERY TIME!!! I think your stuff is cool, Disney or no Disney.
Plus, you are learning all the time, in time people will say "hey man that shit looks like Isric drew IT!" ... and you'll say... "I am Isric you tard.."

Later man

Art
Art's Art

[Isric]

Hahah, that made me laugh. Thanks. I do understand the signifigance of the 'diney comparison', and its is appreciated. i just hear it A LOT. Oh well, get complimented a lot and you don't complain. Adios
