Following the recent Lukias and A sketchathon posts which I really enjoyed, I thought I'd make an effort in scanning some shit, mostly doodles and stuff, c&c welcome.

also a whole sketchbook of quicky character sketches/concepts based along the lines of MadMax/ Escape from new york future street gang style theme uploaded here, the dl is pretty big tho.

Lovely... Good to see some loose pencil, as I get jealous of tight pencil. Now I only get jealous of how good you are.

I love the way you use your pencil in the first picture. Excellent.

The thin lines in the second ones is just perfection.
- Whappetiflapp! they say...

All the pictures are great, but those two things are the things that stuck in my mind.

Great sketches. You give a lot of personality to your characters. I like that!

Cheers

great stuff, i like the first one the most, it's cool beacause you can see the people there are in the middle of some adventures, this pic is telling a story. Anyway I've got a question: what kind of pencil(s) you use?

Awesome bro, as per.

I think your combo of harsh, rigid lines with the smokey, kinda fluffy shading that you work into some of the pieces is primo.
Sweet ass details too.

Do Sum MorE 4 mE!

Love the loose gesture marks in these sketches--great work Cos. Really like the extreme angle on the second from the bottom too!

Thanks for the comments ppl

Basse - Yeah I do often try to get a contrast in my sketching style, thin line sketching, plain shapes of shadow and light, heavier rendered stuff, keeps it more interesting I think..

ODD - Pencils I use, If I plan to work into the piece I'll usually use a 2b or higher, if I'm just line sketching than a H or Hb.

Lukiaz - Me mights scan more at some time, tho scanning loads of shit is too friggin long and boring, probably be awhile.

Cos,

this stuff kicks butt! Wicked.

I like the gritty, rapid style. It really shows your talent.

I was going to point out the ones I really liked out of the group, but as I went back to review them I realised that the more I saw, the better I liked them... so not much point in choosing favourites, eh?

Also, do I detect a bit of a Simon Bisley influence?

Great stuff. When you get around to scanning more, post them too!

A - Cheers guy, glad you liked 'em. Yeah definetely some Biz influence in my stuff, tho I don't really see it any more, other still do so I guess it's still there. I'll stick another bunch up at some time. (we should probably get some kinda sijun sketchathon thread going at some stage, be cool.)
