I did these in a drawing class yesterday, all from photo ref (footbbag.org). Medium is colored ink, colored pencil, and gouche.

PS: I'm on geoshitties and it will probably go over bandwidth after a few veiws so save em, and if someone wants to host that would rock too. Thanx

Those drawings are fucking incredible. I would pay for them. You must make more!
Did I see some of your stuff where you did different players? That is also amazing.

Ales, Vasek, Ales, Ales?

The first one is sick, Trevorr! Thanks for posting -- it's been far too long! We should have a drawing thread again! My last two projects in my painting major class have been a footbag series (finishing up the second on Monday)!!

I love love love the twist of the wrist! I alos really like the fine linework and the pointy fingers!

dude, that first one is incredible.

Ales would look SO COOL in a cartoon series!
Ok, now we start imagining famous footbaggers in cartoon style!

edit: I meant Ales. I always type Alex for some reason.

geez I got a lot of replyies... I would and will gladly sell any of my work, I'm too poor not to (more $ means more art)

Ales, Vasek, Ales, Ales?

I recall telling my teacher while I was drawing these, that the players in our sport become so attuned to movements and positions that normal people aren't, that they could probably tell both the move and even the player from a still silhouette. Right on with the guesses. Its barfly, ps whirl, and 2 of pdx whirl.

PS: They weren't really in the picure but I actually added the pointy fingers becase I know he grows his nails out for classical guitar

hmm I think Ales is doing a superfly, not barfly.

How much would you sell some of it for?

NotHisRealName · Post by **NotHisRealName** » 05 Dec 2004 00:54

that's a great talent you've got there.

Keep at it! It's just another way for 'outsiders' to see the beauty in the sport almost as we do.

Yeah, really nice, i like the arms and legs in the first one.

haha, gouche! isnt that the space inbetween your asshole and your balls? nice.

AMAZING WORK MAN. I would definitely pay for that first one its so lovely

edit* what are the dimensions of the piece and how much do you think you would be willing to sell it for?

jhibbs · Post by **jhibbs** » 05 Dec 2004 15:52

that's a grundel, but nice try. gouche is an opaque water based paint.

As for sales I would probably charge $20 for the smaller ones and a bit more for the longer ones. The superfly one is a bit smaller than a piece of copy paper and I'd sell it for $40. PM me if you're interested. I have also been considering screenprinting some t-shirts but nothing final yet.

I would buy a shirt with the first picture on the back, and just the text 'Superfly.' in the middle of the front. Is anyone else seeing this? I like it.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 05 Dec 2004 16:31

I would buy a shirt of the first one on the back and nothing else anywhere. I really like the baseball(?) style tshirts with the diagonal seam from armpit to collar (WITH BROWN SLEEVES!!!!!!!!)

EDIT: It's hard to tell what Ales is doing in the third one -- it just looks like a clipper. It was hard to tell it was him, too. My biggest hint was the colour of shorts. The others were obvious, though! Vasek and Ales have such different styled whirls.

shredj · Post by **shredj** » 05 Dec 2004 16:58

looks like paradon or toe whirl..

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 05 Dec 2004 17:00

yeh I'd deffenatly buy a t-shirt of the first one, unless of course it was like 100 dollars or something... especialy if it was like this
