I love the sense of character his figures have. I think that's a great observation you made about how Searle contrasts texture with flesh to make the figures appear more naked. You've certainly given me another thing to think about the next time I'm drawing.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-42217288590351770492007-04-19T21:41:00.000-07:002007-04-19T21:41:00.000-07:00Thank you so much for letting me know a great arti...Thank you so much for letting me know a great artist Searle. I love his works. He really captured what he's seen everything around him like people, architecture, mood and so forth. He's an amazing sketcher. Great observations Mark! I like "more to come" at the end. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-61606797977819368112007-04-19T08:23:00.000-07:002007-04-19T08:23:00.000-07:00i just wanted to say i love this series on sketchb...i just wanted to say i love this series on sketchbooks. the pen that i use for my sketchbook is a PITT Artist Brush Pen, made by Faber-Castell. if you have never used one, you should give it a try. the line and stroke variety you can get out of it is amazing. you can go from a fine line, to a big juicy stroke, which is great for blocking in simple shadow areas on those quick life drawings.<BR/><BR/>this is such a great blog, ive learned a ton from you, and im still going back into the archives to find more golden insights. thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-6751686159919911872007-04-18T22:39:00.000-07:002007-04-18T22:39:00.000-07:00I dig Searle! the first time I had actually heard ...I dig Searle! the first time I had actually heard of him was through a recomendation that Shane Glines had made several years ago.<BR/><BR/>I actually tried to design a commercial recently that I wanted to animate in a style like this. Once I got the cleanups back it became obvious that I approached the style totally wrong and now I'm stuck with a lemon. Oh well - the client seems to be happy with it even if I'm not.<BR/><BR/>If I ever try it again I think I'll do it more or less straight ahead with a technical pen. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the observations!TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005243985222801761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-28219409805713336362007-04-18T16:26:00.000-07:002007-04-18T16:26:00.000-07:00man, so amazing to see these, thanks a ton for pos...man, so amazing to see these, thanks a ton for posting them.Jason Newkirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504524442025040872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-14567739173399732312007-04-18T08:44:00.000-07:002007-04-18T08:44:00.000-07:00Thanks so much for all of this!Thanks so much for all of this!Dave Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973144102195593357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23438334.post-25835703246000729022007-04-18T01:21:00.000-07:002007-04-18T01:21:00.000-07:00Excellent analysis Mark & thanks for the plug!

It's interesting to see how the ladies observed in Hamburg's red light district form the basis for the prostitutes in the Lautrec book. I'll post some images on the Searle blog next.Matt Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691360081537045523noreply@blogger.com
