[eighty+]

Hi 1st 5 of todayd sketch'es ok

[eighty+]

ok 2nd 5 ok

[eighty+]

ok thats it :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[D Akey]

Still looking great as far as the drawings go. The studio stuff takes on a little bit of the ol' German Expressionism. Very cool stuff. Stylizations of different kinds tend to group one into the existing tone that is evoked previously. So looking like Lautrec would make me think of a cavalier theatricality. Looking similar to Scheele, as with your latest nude sketches, makes me think of edginess and introspection brought on by lean times. So when painting in an existing style it's like painting with more than paint. Ain't always so. But it's a cool thing.

And then of course comes the time when one's body of work becomes large enough, it takes on that voice.

I have no trouble seeing anymore this range as part of your style (for as long as you do it this way). But I am also starting to experience it as your voice with that quality that is your own, not unlike being able to recognize the sound of your voice. All kinda goes together.

And within that voice, you are getting more and more polished, while maintaining your look. Very cool.

And as to the color stuff -- the roof tiles. . . nice and patient. Paid off all that you put into it. Each tile becomes like a piano key on a grand keyboard.

And as to the horse, what can I say but "Hello Dali'". . . :D

Nice work, 78-

[eighty+]

Thanks. D. Akey. You have put the smile back on my face after that

Nightmare, hope someone can tell me why it happened and how

To avoid it ??? Could it be something todo with the transform

Button :cool::cool: all suggestions. Welcome as getting tired fighting

with my computer as can't win :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[eighty+]

Hi done a quick finger bash on Dali this morning and as you can see he is

not amused :eek: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[Lima]

got the roof one ok u can see what has happened see if the ref pic is still there ok or look at Lima's roof one yeah :eek::eek::eek:
Fabulous 80 great colors. Well done Sir.

[eighty+]

thanks Lima. Would liked to have shown you it as a full picture but it wasn't

To be. Now after 6 hours tiling the water still comes in so looks if I got

To go back and do some more tiling otherwise my name will be mud

In the village. :eek: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[eighty+]

Great character drawings 78-
Showing more and more artistic command all the time.

As to the color rooftops, looks great. Wish some of our buildings looked so lively around here for real.


Edit (included this pic):

Oh, and there's one drawing that I find very intriguing. . . didn't know how to describe it so I grabbed it and included it in this post.

What's the story on this one?

[MSIE]

wow! I always enjoy looking at your drawings :)

this one here reminds me of Egon Schiele, looks great! :)

59305

[eighty+]

Thanks D Akey that one done as a copy can't remember who by when looking for a larger pad to draw on at the life class found this a4 which had two of my old sketch'es the sort of sketches you look for when looking for something to draw then I found bus model's :D since then haven't done any cos the bus
sketch's get me out and the walking is good for the legs so Lima tells me
will post the other one but I was never happy with it allways thought the ear
was too far back meant to sort but forgot liked the expression on the young
girls face only realy put it in for the girls, not to happy with the stuff I've
been turning out at the life class been sitting down may try standing up with
easel and pencils ar-- rh :eek:

missie Thank you glad you enjoy that's a reward in its self will try to get
better ok

[eighty+]

my trouble is keeping the reaper at bay yeah :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S


here's a quick smash to make u laugh :cool::cool:

[eighty+]

hi thanks to harlyquin for the idea:D:D:D

[D Akey]

I seem to recall that Gustav Klimpt also created an interesting image in response to his critics, basically having a gorgeous lady mooning them from within the frame in one of his most famous paintings.

http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isc...29l3.10.1l14l0 (http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=800&bih=272&q=klimpt+goldfish&gbv=2&oq=klimpt+goldfish&aq=f&aqi=g-s1g-ms1&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=2393l5351l0l5714l15l14l0l0l0l0l201l1929l3.1 0.1l14l0)

Your latest painting seems to be an only slightly more respectful comment to the powers that be that sort of shows how fully you merit the 55 years to which you are now aged, as observed by the good Dr. Lima. I'll give a second opinion. . . you rock, my dear fellow. Careful though, as you may soon loose your senior discount.

Well done sirs!

[eighty+]

Crikey where would I be with no bus pass. Ar------rrh. :eek::eek::eek:

[eighty+]

the bloke said to the women why do u stand like that ???

she said so I don't pee in my shoes nuff said

[J Witt]

Thank you for always sharing these they are a joy to look at

[scribbledsoul]

I really like the one of the bald guy the best. Very expressive, with wonderful lines. But they are all great! :D

[eighty+]

No J Witt my thanks to you for looking and sharing with me ok


Soul baby. Funny you pick the bald guy as he took 5 seconds have

Noticed that the ones smashed out come out the best :confused:

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[coops]

I like the one of the girl with the shoulder length hair Eighty, keep them coming :)

[D Akey]

Nice work. What's "The Masters Collection" that you put below some of the pics?

I particularly like the lady with that on her just above. So the smashes work best? I can guess which ones they are and would guess that is because you are going for a broad impression that lets you get the essence of the likenesses. It's freer. But not to discount the value of a careful drawing. They're different takes. But I like them all. Well done, lad. These last couple rounds are great. :):):)

[eighty+]

Ok Ok lokks like I owe you one tell the bartender to put one on

my Slate cheers D Akey :D:D:D

Joserphine Joserphine I wont keep telling you get off the swing

your food is on the table :eek::eek::eek:

[D Akey]

May I be the first to say "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I was just musing the other day that the normally bored-as-all-get-out bus riders must really treasure you and your sketching. Wonder if this is how the artist Ryder got his reputation. . .

The way I see it is that there is an art to interacting with people as well, and you, my artful dodger, are in the pocket. . . er. . . let me rephrase that. . . you are in the zone. . . they missed ya.

So that one a sketch of some of the drunken sailors from the ship on shore leave getting taken in by some amoeba pretending to be an egg? Or is that a metaphorical picture above of all thems wots scramblin' to get a seat on the bus? Anyway, it's right brilliant, lad.

Looks like Kilroy's still here. . . Just so long as it ain't the pillory, I think we're in good shape. :D

Oh yeah, the drawings are rockin!

[eighty+]

[eighty+]

Thanks. ATTA .....Kenmo

Good to hear your both enjoy them. :eek::eek: :cool::cool: :D:D

[I-BRDP]

First of all Eighty+ congrats for the improvent clearly visible from post #1 to post #21342523454. This means that I have chance myself to learn if I practice 80+ years :)

The potrait are getting better and better from the emotional point of you as if you are more watching the scene instead of caring only to sketching it.

I don't know if you're aware but I'm really attracted by this Wacom "toy". (http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Inkling.aspx)
What do you think about?

[coops]

Once again amazing work Eighty:)

[eighty+]

hi hello Monza its all in your own hand's :eek: you must take a sketchbook
with you at all time's not to keep your pocket warm :D but to sketch bit hard
at first but soon get used to it:cool: as for the Wacom what you can afford
mine was a small bamboo pen and touch was over the moon with it as got artrage as part of the package i have upgraded but don't no why think it the old story like golf of fishing or frog with his moter cars if you look in the forums for
John Singer Sargeant you will see that I've copied the three master's drawing
i think that and the bus sketch'es helped me to improve ok good luck bash on

Hi Katie Katie Coops you didn't say :eek: what you thought of my
primrose'es or stone's :cool::cool::cool::D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[D Akey]

Sketchy Ploos, I think you have stones, my man. Especially for a public sketch artist, one's gotta have them. (Was that the question?) :D

Nice drawings! Go man Go!!!!!

--------------------------------

About the new Wacom thing. I wonder if it essentially does what scanning a drawing and putting it into Illustrator and convert it to vector, or if there's a new wrinkle. More compact than a scanner if you are on location or in the field, with a laptop if you needed something immediately.

Also I wonder if it deals with half tones any differently. Vector and sketchbooks seem like they would overlap only a little unless you were a designer.

I'm not a vector kind of guy. So it would be moot for me. But I might be missing some features in my initial look at it.

[eighty+]

hi D M'Akey ( no not the question ) but a great answer I should have told Monza that :D:D:D

as for Wacom thing 21ux I only got to help me get over the shock of last year

help fill the mind but to me its like sitting in a Rolls Royce and can't drive

:eek::eek: :cool::cool::cool: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

ok that's it for today :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[eighty+]

hi a quickie this morning ok

[D Akey]

Wow and double Wow. . . or Wow Wow! :D

I'm blown away by your foray into the expressionistic. Those drawings of that nature are sensational. They look so sure, my dear Mister +. (There's experimental stuff in there as well and that's cool as well. But I'm talking right now specifically about your more polished looking stuff.)

It's almost as if your personal moving line about in your sketchbook locked in to a style in which you have ennobled the sketchy line into a finished personal voice. You can see where it can express many different things, from gorgeous to edgy. And sometimes the discovery of what we're saying comes out on its own and surprises us.

And it seems to really suit you on whatever level you have grabbed it. They all work, from Klimpt to Schiele to Lautrec (who in my opinion is borderline expressionistic).

Anyway, the cool bit is do your thing, look confident in your marks, and you own it. You're there enough times now to show it's happening.

Bravo, lad!

[justjean]

ah mr. 80+ thanks for a very entertaining and enjoyable trip as I sip my morning tea and enjoy the sights through your eyes now if I happen to visit Brighton bus station will I dare to say hello when I see you sketching at the bus stop :D

You know, I really look forward to logging in every morning and seeing your great sketches. Do you know that you inspired me to buy a little sketchbook and carry it around everywhere with me, for the first time in I don't know how many years? It's a lot of fun (and great practice too)! :D

~ Scribbles :p

[eighty+]

hi 1st 5 today's ok

[scribbledsoul]

hi soul baby sorry nearly missed you, youv'e made my day thanks

have you read the Conclusion in one of my posts roughly about two

months ago by a art teacher who lives in Exeter but if you hang on

I'll repost ok it was him that made me start drawing the full lenth

instead of just heads but finding it hard now i've been banned from favourite

sketching place the mall , been told there's pose maniac's on the web ok

[scribbledsoul]

It sucks that you can't sketch at the mall anymore! We artists never get a break, do we? :p

Hey, did you see the doodles that I posted today? That's the result of me carrying a sketchbook around; now I'm hooked on sketching everything I can get my hands on. Sigh... I blame you. You've corrupted me! (Just kidding, of course!) I'm actually having fun with my art again, instead of trying to create perfection all of the time. Woots! :D

[eighty+]

soul baby Go Go GO :cool: :cool: :cool: :D :D :D

[scribbledsoul]

Hehe VROOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!! :D

[eighty+]

hi soul baby hope your VROOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMING

here's a quickie to help you Vroooom

[D Akey]

Re: the little kid painting. . .

It's an right awesome figure, Mr. Ploos. Very convincin' with personality and all. It makes me think you're holdin' out on us, sorta holdin' back like. . .

As to the background, it's very different from the figure, which is okay. You went graphic albeit in perspective so there's depth, but a different kind of depth. Compared to the figure of the kid it's graphic is what I mean and so it gives the whole scene a sort of staged quality. Again, for fans of theater like myself, it works fine, as an idea of place for the actor.

Painters have used this also where part of the picture is rendered and the other part attended to just enough to communicate. This one you did creates a very specific and clear hierarchy of what's important. And that communicates in and of itself. It also gives it a distinct atrsy quality.

I have seen music videos where a figure is spliced into a drawing (and there are infinite variations on that approach). It's expedient. You don't have to render a train station or whatever. All one needs is a kid and the sky's the limit.

One mechanical caution, when you are doing perspective on bricks, you should mind the weight and ratio of your brick surface with the line weight. Practically speaking, the grout or mortar is recessed somewhat and as it vanishes away one sees far less of it until it's invisible. At that point one breaks it up differently like glazing over a few of the bricks to show separation. But even with a very graphic treatment where one doesn't noodle all the details, the line weight should thin as it recedes.

But the kid is brilliant! The rest is interesting in a good way. And I think your explorations are paying off in grand fashion.

[scribbledsoul]

I like! :D

[eighty+]

Hi D Akey. Thanks for looking and your comments I lost 1/3 of it when using

A ruler and the transom button must have missed the ruler so took picture

Instead so from then on filled in add lib so to speak, as you say like a stage

Setting , I should have created another V/P but was to annoyed at

Losing the pic; as was my 1st attempt that was not a copy of someone's

Else's Stuff glad you picked up about the brickwork I have to be more

Careful on detail o hawkeye:D regards. Eighty+

[eighty+]

I'm not all that familiar with all the ins and outs of the program but couldn't you hit the [Undo] button a time or two to get it back? Generally it steps you backwards through the actions you just did in reverse sequence, and you take it back to the point you had your work. . . At least that's how most programs work.

Eg: The way it is commonly done is: <paint paint paint> <"Now there's a rather sticky wicket, eh wot!"> [Undo X times] <"PHEW! Right then, carry on as ya do. . ."> <paint paint paint>

Not sure what the limits are on your iPad regarding memory and amounts of undo's you have allotted. But you could try it and see. As to the command, there have to be keyboard shortcuts and/or a pull down menu item for it. May want to ask someone if you can't find it.

The [Undo] button has saved more than a couple computers from being launched through the window. It's the artist's best friend.

[eighty+]

thanks D Akeyok think your right bot in my panic I clicked save after that

its to late just keep getting the cropped one :eek: :eek: :cool: :cool:

better luck next time :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hi 1st 5 of today's ok

[eighty+]

ok thats the last :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[clinart]

wow 96 pages, now that is dedication. :)

I like your portraits, they are expressive. The anatomy is not spot on but I still find them pleasing.

As for crits, If you are going to stick with the pencil focus on the hatching technique. Look at Paul Calle's stuff. Try and make the direction of the lines go the same way that the plane of the face might. Focus on where your light source is and try and really flesh out the values.

Good luck and keep it up!

Cheers,

Tim

[eighty+]

Hi Ti m Thanks for crits ; happy to receive tried to see paul Calle's work but

no joy so far will keep trying ok regards at plus the old :D:D:D

[Caesar]

I like Your new experiments too and I must say that the bus You use to take is a pretty unique one since I thought to have seen Winston Churchill too on it. Either the bus entered a paradoxical form of space-time distortion (let the dictionary away for now pls :p) or it carries personalities wax statues together with people. :D

[eighty+]

Hail O Caesar O Mighty One your right, Bus its a bit like Doctor Who's

Police Box never sure where your going to end up think its my way

You stunned me! What a wonderful yankee painting! Last time I heard of a famous Yates though, he was an English poet or writer :rolleyes: ... am I wrong?

[eighty+]

Hail O Caesar O Mighty One blimey I thought everyone knew Rowdy Yates.

Think it was Clint Eastwood's. 1st main part he was the outrider for the

Cattle boss Gil Favour, his job was to go out from the main drive to

Check all was ok and as you can guess he was always in trouble

I think I've got that right only bashed it out after seeing the other

hi I'm just lazy today ok :D:D:D:D:D:D:D----E/S

[D Akey]

Congrats on your Century of Drawings, Mr. Ploos!

I look at the number of pages and can say without equivocation - Now there's Eighty+

Bravo lad!

Stuff's looking Great. Getting into color. Can use it also as part of your drawing style as well, making drawing marks with a brush large and small for example. Some of Lautrec's drawings are like that and pretty tasty as well. Just as part of the fun you're clearly having.

Go man go!

[Caesar]

Congratulations for passing 100 with such terrific new drawings, dear mate!
I found that Rowdy Yates wasn't but a TV series and the character was played by Clint Eastwood if I'm not wrong. Unfortunately I was just born in 1959 and the series was apparently not widely broadcasted in Europe.
I obviously know very well Clint Eastwood who, under Sergio Leone direction was a protagonist of those Italian made western movies who appeared as a revolution and were called here Spaghetti Western. He was therefore frequently here in Rome, in Cinecittà and all around here and in Spain where they found and set up those western scenarios and was a most appreciated star. Many other US stars were directed by Sergio Leone in those movies.
Similarly, especially in the '60ies, the period of the Dolce Vita, many other American actors (and Richard Burton as well) used to some here playing in historical movies or ancient time adventures like that of Maciste (played by an American bodybuilder), a sort of Hercules with an immense strength.

[eighty+]

HI to the Scot in hiding :D..... D M'Akey thanks still trying that

thick paint style but with no joy will plod on ok

Very great.

[eighty+]

Hello Sad Clown ??? :cool::cool::cool: thanks for comments after looking

at your stuff I almost packed in :eek: but gritted teeth and decided

to fight on as the other keep geeing me on ok :D:D:D:D:D:D:D---E/S

[D Akey]

I re-read what I wrote last post. I didn't complete my thought - got distracted or something -- I meant to suggest to use color with calligraphic lines as a way for a draughtsman to put in color as opposed to a painting style or filling in the shape flatly like a TV cartoon. . . unless you're doing a painting or cartoon, in which case it's great.

The reason for the calligraphic lines is that really thin lines don't show off color. And repeating uniformly broad lines tend to be not very descriptive or interesting. So the comment was about drawing with color in your lines that imply color and jazz a brush drawing up a bit. One example is Lautrec.

But to do so you would need a graphics tablet or something that gives those kinds of thick/thin lines. And I'm not sure if you have that capability on the ipad. If not. . . nevermind!:D

Just as an alternative way. Not necessarily the best or not the best.

Been enjoying what you've done. Go man go!

[SADCLOWN]
