The girl that is third down. She is from the Sartorialist.blogspot.com website?

Yeah, I was drawing her the other night too. Its a nice pose. Especially for drawing her hands which are always a challenge.

She looks great. All of them are great. I love your blog.

Richard Gaines said...

Darn you and your ability to conjure up awesome character designs! You call the pirate just a simple sketch?

I need the time to sit down and do some random characters.

Dustin Foust said...

Dude AWESOME swashbuckler. Very cool!

cristian said...

Sincerly, I don't need to see finished work if I can enjoy your work this way. But If you want to make some finished pieces, I won't mind at all, sir, It will be deserving to see (not sure if I'm saying this right).
Keep up the amazing work!!

tom said...

I like your sketchy style on the girl paint!

Hey Mel,

I think the advice you gave yourself is good advice. I try and dip my creativity in anything and everything. When you push the boundaries and leave your comfort zone some pretty amazing things can happen. As well as some great mistakes to learn from. Your sketches are amazing, but I think there is a lot more potential in you than your care to show. Keep cracking at it and maybe try doodling your sketches on different materials for starters.

You'll be great ;)

Lots of Love,
Heather

Awesome sketches!

Kactiguy said...

CAN you do something other than sketch? Huh? Great stuff buddy.

S.T. Lewis said...

More excellent sketches! Why waste your time on color when you can kick out incredible drawings this quickly? I guess adding color is fun sometimes, too... but, man! What great drawings! You're the best.

Mel,
Great cartoon and artwork. I know this post is a year old, but I was wondering if I could have your permission to use the "Swashbuckler" image in my zine for an upcoming story. I would credit you as the illustrator with a link and a bio if you want. Let me know, thanks! Lyn from ResAliens (at) gmail (dot) com. or visit http://residentialaliens.blogspot.com
