I promised to post some of my sketch-book images under Lukiaz' thread, and here they are:

sweet looking drawings man. love the expressions on the first drawing. everyone looks pissed.

[Sedone]

Very cool! Those are solid drawings.

[Isric]

great penmanship (how do you spell that?), looks like your making the pen do what you want, not the other way around. Thanks for posting these

Great stuff A, liking the loose gritty style in these. The alien character design on the last page is very nice, looks like you have an old 2000ad influence in your stuff.

Thanks guys.

Isric: I love the style of penmanship used by many European comic artists (Moebius, Milo Manara are a couple that spring to mind) and try to replicate some of their techniques. Over the past few years I've forced myself to use a fountain pen for most drawing - with results like you see here. I'm glad you think the practice has been worth it.

Also, if you're interested I've posted some life drawings in another thread. They're probably going to end up in a portfolio which I'll need to use for getting another art job...

Oh, and here's a better (clearer) example of the type of pen technique I normally use (from my A5 diary):

Wow man, awesome work!. I also see 2000AD similarities.
Nice quick strokes, overall a true display of primo skills.

Keen as to see alot more man.
