yeah..much love for oil pastels. :)
just cant work them in large surfaces and have skipped them for the time being.

 

doing some drawings/studies and it has been awhile.

 

 

first movements on this

 

thats from a month ago

 

due to certain circumstances, i havent painted since the 4th of dec.
been thinking about it, not much though and about smth abstract only.

some times i take a little while to comment

so, you took a month, but-- where is she now?? --->


iwannaseeeeeeeee!

sorry meant the abstract is from a month ago.
the girl - well havent painted as i said since the 4th of dec, so she's incomplete and actually in a worse state from that starting point! lol

oh ha ha ha!

okay, i'll wait...

I haven't posted anything in ages. Perhaps for the better..but here's something. something that looks pretty horrid resized this small, but hey...(then there's a crop of a portion of an eye to get a better idea..)







it's sort of an update to the kind of "vector portraits" I did a while ago...
Supposed to be printed BIG. BIG.

NICE!

that looks awesome! it reminds me a but of chuck close but it's different of course.

love them nic! post more...

and yeah size matters. again cant solve this in my head. its been said that if a piece of art is really good, size shouldnt matter (????). dunno. some stuff look much better in big sizes.

 

 

 

 

threw away the other one; started all over again and in a larger scale.
good luck to me.

i like the new sketch a lot more. break a leg!

ta!

 

UAU!

^ yeah, its what i m worried about, since its first layers and i m gonna miss stuff. i want such color off strokes. for example i like what happened below her chin..but its like only 2nd thin layer.

dont leave ;) no, ok. do what you have to.

i've been thinking for a while now that color is nefeli's strongest suit

i love the light in that portrait

perfect!!

@Plips
about egon schiele; weird -and thank you, its a compliment - you say this, because i never look at him. i mean, i only had a book as a kid, that i loved and thats about it.
btw, recently, i saw schiele in one of my dearest persons' art.

about getting political; you made me think a bit about this. even if its not my goal, or intention, i think that some subtle political sense, or views on life, come out from our art without even noticing it while we make it.
but of course, art with political purpose (?) is other story. dunno what your circumstances are exactly and that job, but perhaps if you are honest about it and show professionalism, some may see it as a good thing? if they arent closed-minded people. wish you all the best.

its some time that i have noticed that most men*, as opposed to women, have a concept, a story behind or in front of their art. i never really do.
* my sample is men/women i know from the drawing class and/or of social media.

and !@#$%!, color is the only thing that comes out naturally to me. for the rest i have to think more.

 

sorry - a part of it cuz whole is bleh and of course never ready and this close to the garbage can
from this pic doesnt look that bad.

Meh, haven't been too inspired lately. But I thought I'd post this one. Not among my favourites of my own stuff. You guys are doing an amazing job though, keep the good stuff coming!

 

that looks great. i wish you wrote comics. would you illustrate somebody else's story?


great to see you here and i hope you're doing well.

^^ that book looks awesome

the greek one sort of reminds me of the old astérix comics. you know:



a question-- what do you use for color? pencils?

Hey folks
Its been a while, as per usual every ones work here is looking great! Plips your work is very cool!

So a friend of mine commissioned me to do an album cover for his solo project.

(front and back)
(inside sleeve)

oh well almost officially saying bye bye to this

 

after a year. started it today all over again.

that's A LOT of improvement over last year's version. much better shapes. congrats!

and i *really* like the color


you could paint this in a huge canvas and make it almost abstract. i love extreme close-ups.

damn! you are so spot on! you describe the dream; flesh with abstract.
but hadnt thought of close-ups! excellent idea and would sell ;)

and thanks/agree about the nude.. it was going well/better, but it wasnt perfect. it was far from it - from close..
anyway, i should celebrate this day. hadnt had a day like this, like i used to, in ages. have worked for 7 hours. :)

7 hours! awesome!

here's to many many more

i'll dedicate my roast mutton shoulder in your honor then (it's in the oven, covered with herbs & & oils & spices right now)---and perform the proper libations when it's time to eat (several hours from now).

woohoo!

you are ready/whole/amazing artist!!
is this a solo exhibition? cuz as i said, you are ready for this. and many more stuff in the future.

Yes. I think there are a few more people with pretty impressive talent on here (some don't post much stuff/are no more "regulars", though), but porkmarras (wow, it's been a while since I typed that name) would be right on the top of the list among the best bunch in any category.

Thank you but I thought this thread was originally started on the old forum so that people could post their work and just talk about it, maybe just look at stuff while they're rolling a joint, drinking a beer and looking at images on the internet. Nobody ever mentioned ''establishing'' anything. Nefeli is a much better painter than I am, Plips works his style and makes it his own with animation in ways that I can't, Antagon masters his doodling craft like no other etc. I have an enormous amount of limitations, both as a person and artistically, which I could really do with dealing with. Competitions are not a way to face them. Thank you anyway.

I agree it's not a competition, it's true. I speak just for myself and my "taste". I enjoy many of the things I see in this thread, some more than others, and I'm just grateful that some of the boarders whose "style" I like the most are still posting things in here (it's one of the main reasons I still browse this board from time to time), and it's really interesting to see how their pieces show some sort of progression in time. That said, here are some weird experiments I think I haven't posted yet.

^^ WOW!!!

Currently hanging on the walls of The Green Room on Coin Street, SE1. I've added a couple more not pictured.

diy action swingers tee for my flatmate.

Wow these are great!
