High School at Sunset Sketch

Yes, I am back with another quick sketch I did this evening. I also did a raw coloring job on it, using some Prismacolor Pencils and a tiny bit of touching up with Crayola markers. Then I put it in Photoshop to tweak it a bit, mostly to put greys in and give the whole thing an orange tint.

I lost the clouds because of the rabid coloring I did, but it's ok. Next time they will be there.

Bouncing Buoy

Heya!

So here is some animation I did over the last couple days. It's Flash, but I didn't use any tweening nor did I make any symbols. I just wanted to try doing it the old fashion way, after being so used to tweens and symbols.

It's called Bouncing Buoy, but that was a typo. I meant to put Bouncing Boy.... But my hand slipped on the keyboard. But it's ok! It works this way.... Kinda.



Enjoy!

Calamity In The Classroom!

Hello again.

It's been a while eh?

This is a quick sketch (and an even quicker color job) for a concept I pitched for this art club thingy I "belong" to. I say "belong" because, well, I haven't participated in a good month. But the concept I pitched was basically that you had a single image to capture and summarize a piece of art, film, music, or anything else you were bringing to a studio. This is mine. I won't say what I'm trying to say with it, but needless to say, I don't know if I have the time to make a final draft of this. I hope I can, because I like it a lot.

Incidently, I wanna thank Victor for helping me with the pose. I had the character sitting much more upright, and Victor did a quick sketch with him hunched down, which works a lot better!



Or maybe I'll make this the final version. I like how raw it is.

See ya next time!

Quick Sketches

Hiya!

Here are some quick comps I did. I was trying to use shapes I don't usually use. I kinda like these little guys. Particularly the one wearing the MTX shirt. That's Mr. T Experience for you non-punk rockers out there. Anywho, enjoy! I was just informed that the floodgates of freelance have opened and are going to engulf me once more, so I don't know when I'll be back... But I will be.



Hopefully next time I can post something that took more than 3 minutes to do. See ya!

A Not So Triumphant Return

Hiya.

Sorry it's been slim pickings around here lately. I had some freelance eating up my time and so I was not really drawing anything...

And I come back with meager treats today. Enclosed, please find some "thumbnail comps" of layouts for my characters to dwell in. As you can see, they are school layouts, and so..... You can imagine who exactly this is for.



Enjoy. Back again tomorrow with a few more doodles. I mean sketches.

More Basketball Player

In case you couldn't tell, I really enjoy drawing this guy. I can just imagine his wierd, obsessive personality in my head.

He is someone I probably would have avoided in high school.

Also, similar to one of my mentors, I seem to not like to finish anything beyond a sketch. I don't know why, but it might be because I am trying to capture a feeling, or the gesture, or the movement, rather than a nice drawing.

Or maybe I am lazy and/or have ADD.






Also, I find it interesting how different he looks since I first drew him like a month ago.

'Nother Sketcheroo

Hey.

Man, I have been slacking this past week, but I did do a fun little sketch of my new best friend, the nameless basketball player.

You may notice that I did this on newsprint, which is what I use to draw on at the figure drawing club, which I obviously was not feelin' that night.

It's tough, man. I know that artists get into ruts, but for the last six months, I feel like nothing I come up with is exciting. It's infuriating that I come up with the Tykings, or the ol' "All Night Dinah" short, or I come up with anythng else and after a week, think to myself, "Eh, it's ok."

Here's hoping this doesn't last much longer. I have some projects coming up that I am involved in, so hopefully that will rekindle my passion. Don't get me wrong, I still want to pursue my ideas, but I don't know if right now is the time.

So enjoy this drawing, and I'll catch ya on the flipside.
