Teh Kustm Sketchbook v1.0 (Updated March 22)

Ok, heres the deal. I changed the title of this thread so I could just keep a running collection of all my sketches instead of creating 50 new threads a week. So please, please, please leave feedback, or else I wont get better!

Here's some of the notes I take in school, thought you might be interested:

Say what you must :p

I really like the work in prgress of the cathedral. is it something from your mind, or based off an actual existing cathedral??

Awesome notes! I believe you're on your way to an A.

Great work. Your rims shadows and reflections look great.

And the cathedral... very impressive.

You are learning German at school? Show me your skills!

Who said anything about learning? :p

The WIP cathedral thing is now finished. Didnt turn out half bad. Ill post a pic up later. And sniper, all this stuff is outta my head.

Thanks for the comments! Keep em coming!

do I detect a future designer for ferrari or lambo??? :)

Nice, I really like the clown :D

Good stuff. The cars are good, so is the clown. And I guess all that pinstriping practice helps for the cathedral drawings since they are symmetrical on both sides.

Alex

Thanks for all the replies guys! Keep em coming!

Here's the finished cathedral thing-

Da--ang dog, I am really disappointed you would do that esp. in Econ, one of my fav subjects. Oh and yes I watch American Idol…hee hee

This isn't the place, nor do I have the time to go into all the details of global econ, but realize it or not you will be competing w/ ppl from all over the world for jobs. I can assure you that Yashi in India is studying his but off right now.

Dude, you need to pay attention in those classes or you won't get a good job to have money to allow you to eat so you can draw cars (and so you can pay taxes :)).

I am joking, but a lil serious also.

Nice art!

hehe that's the same opinion I have about my french course...

Tell me when you need some help with German.

Sucks to be Yashi :biggrin:

Glad to see you still around Al. Where you been hiding?

LOL now that was funny

You must sit in the back, to not get caught doing all that drawing. Or your teacher just doesn't care. Either way, nice job!

A couple new ones. Lately I've been going through this "early European sports car" phase.

I tweaked the contrast of this one in Photoshop, just so I could get the blacks blacker. I may take it to Illustrator and color it, KARTOONZ style. If only Danny were here...(BTW, this was in my English class) Again, no references, but I was trying to go for a early Porsche 356 look.

http://img95.exs.cx/img95/8620/sketchcarres5lz.jpg

This one is more sketchy. Did this a few days ago in the same class. I think it has some Alfa Romeo, plus a little Porsche, plus a drop of Jaguar blood in it personally.

http://img234.exs.cx/img234/7536/carsketch2res1no.jpg

I have some other ones I have done lately,but no time to upload them now.

Comments welcome as always.

That 356 looks bloated. :D

the second one looks great. I like thge perspective an the crosshatching. It's considerable what you can do with a simple ballpoint.

I like your Alfa. It's really cool. Good proportions & perspective. Respect.

The last ones awesome. post more.

Your notes at school are superb. Don't worry, i also take special notes. I'll try to post them. The clown is the best of all! Try to post more cars

A few more:

This one is a quick concept sketch I did, with very quick shading. Kind of a crappy scan though. That wierd line through the middle is just a crease in the paper. And yes, I know the far side headlight is angled wrong.

Here's a drift car I did out of my head during an "appropriate behavior" lecture in my Digital Media class. I was trying to work on motion in this one.

Here's a Le Mans style car I never finished. I did it during work.

http://i159.exs.cx/img159/222/conceptlemans0bq.jpg

And finally, this little roadster is one of my favorite sketches I have ever done. I love everything about this one. From the perspective, to the touch of cartoony-ness, to the fact that the very first lines I laid down made the ugliest looking thing, so I redid it all with more aggresive lines.

Comments/Criticisms welcome as always!

They are all cool rides, xcept the lemans one...
May be in your drift car, it should be tilted a bit, creating the effect that the car is sliding(suspensions)

One end of the car is higher than the other! othewise nice sketches!

I was trying to work on motion in this one.

Great job!!! I love this sketchy-looking ballpoint work. Without an eraser, imagination and coordination are essential.

i just realized that most of your car drawings have those s15 looking lights... good drawings though!

Really good sketches there. Normally I don't like this sketchy type of style with crosshatching everywhere, but you made it look good.

Alex

Good work.

nice collection you got some skillz

Did this one at work today.

http://img71.exs.cx/img71/5614/concept20gn.jpg

Looks great, the front tire looks kind of odd.

kustm, i really like your work. it reminds me of Moebius. is that how you spell it? you are very talented. i really dig the fantasy cathedral. that is bad a$$. and the concept speedster alpha jag is wonderful (the bottom hand-drawn one). the style of it harkens to classic fantasy artists. you have an emerging unique look that can be pushed forward with more focus and "pencil mileage."

you are going to school for economics? dude. forget that. pursue illustration balls-out. you have what it takes. in five to eight years hence, with sticking to it like glue, you will be one bad a$$ mutherfker. i mean that with top props.

cool. i just saw the S15 drift machine. and the le mans style car. nice stuff, kustm.

you are going to school for economics?

Need it to graduate.

Thanks for the kind words bonz! Positive feedback from you is always welcome!

kustm, my pleasure. whatever you are majoring in, pursue drawing primarily. you can survive doing it. you can do it. it is a lifelong path. and it will change as you do.

lol nice drawings Tim, glad im not the only person who draws on lessons all the time :P i got 3 reports thorughout the year already :P still continue it. I like cathedral and drifting car and yea the clown is wicked as well...

P.S.

havent seen u on msn for ages, come online sometime!
