I like the clarity in th old coot's face.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteOh Lawdy Marlo, these Studies are Brilliantly Beautiful! I <3 Sokol and I <3 you!
ReplyDeleteSokol was a master colourist & could draw like a sonufabitch! No finer artist to learn from, excellent work.
ReplyDeleteSocol is sooo cooool!
ReplyDeleteThank you greg, Damion and Dr!

ReplyDeleteNicely painted. The girl's right arm is a little undefined and hard to read (especially before it's enlarged), but it's certainly better than I can do.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Nice work, Marlo!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever look at the work of Lisa Yuskavage? If you haven't, I feel like you'd like her. She's a personal favorite of mine.
Hey Beth! I've looked at Lisa's work a long time ago, but thanks, it was worth a revisit.

ReplyDeleteThese are awesome studies. This second one is phenomenal (first one is good too!).
ReplyDeletecool take on the color palette while maintaining the designs and composition. Sokol rules.
Sokol is a badass.
ReplyDeletemy best friiends sister worked at playboy in the advertising department for years-at a young age my friend got a free subscription to playboy-making him the coolest kid in the hood, i got used to everything, and i mean everything, playboy had to offer from the mid seventies til the mid eighties, i got bored with the playmates, started really getting into the artwork, the playboy funnies. one year, on my birthday, my friends sister got me these large panels of playboy cartoons-after they printed of course-about seven sheets-representing all the different artist that contributed-it wasnt signed or anything but i didnt care-they were copies-but i was still floored-best gift ever!! all ruined in an apartment flood-never got over it! nice to see them again here.
