On the E-Train

 


I love big hair.


BIG thanks to everyone who follows this blog. I really appreciate it.  Leave a link to yours so I can see your work too!  I still marvel at how easy it is to find out about new artists now.

And if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor check out my good buddy , Joe's blog.  That guy is so awesome.  We are making a book of all of this stuff this year!

    Thanks Joe!
    This came out alright , but MAN it was terrible for a couple of days. I played it kinda safe design-wise though.

    Funny you pointed that out, those shadows weren't purple at first, they were like....eh reg brown or something. I think it was after we had that convo w/ about Tadahiro...

    Another very cool image. Inspires me to render up some of my own metro drawings from my sketchbook.

    Do you mind if I ask what brushes you use?

    Your still using the same brushes you shared with me I assume? I'm just curious if you use a certain skinny brush preset for your thin lines? You sent me an example of your process a while ago and was wondering if you could post something similar.. It was a head example of how you tackle you shading. Much appreciated if you have the time Bobby! -J

    Very stylish, love the rough/blotchy brush you used too! I'm also super fond of the Malaku designs you posted a while ago. Very cool. :)

    I love your use of shapes in your characters. I like how you convey the fashion style and the attitude of the character. I really appreciate your ability communicate stylish clothing because art schools have little emphasis on this. You don't learn much about drawing clothes in nude models right? lol

    I aspire to one day draw characters at your level. I'l be working on it!

    I take E train every day!
    Really love your style :)
    Do you just observe on the train and draw/paint afterwards or do you sketch on the train and color afterwards?

    I would love it if you could send me your brushes..if you don't mind..!!

    Cheers,
    Junko

    Beautiful work Bobby! I have to ask, what's your process for getting these ideas down? Are these based on sketches that you do throughout the day, or do you take notes on these ideas and paint them later? I live in New York City area too and am constantly inspired by people I see, but sometimes I can only capture a scene in my mind and don't have time to get out the sketchbook and transfer it to paper.
