I've been drawing a lot, mostly doodles. I'll post some of the better ones later.

Digital painting, trying to get better with colour works and faces.

Receipt Round-Up

2007-04-22T20:15:00.000-07:00

These were all done on the back of receipts during slow patches at work.

A picture of a Manticore lady done over the weekend.

Finished version of the earlier Oekaki.

Nice to meet you!

An Oekaki I'm working on.

Christmas sketches

2007-01-03T09:21:00.000-08:00

Some quick pen/marker sketches I did at work.

Horse Sketches

2007-01-03T09:18:00.000-08:00

Just some quick studies done out of pictures in a book.

2006-10-15T12:11:00.000-07:00

Another work in progress, I'm very pleased with how it's turning out.

2006-10-15T12:07:00.000-07:00

A work in progress.

2006-10-15T12:03:00.000-07:00

Pen on paper, then coloured in Photoshop. Just something I did quickly to play around in PS. My tablet is broken and it will be a while before I can get a new one, so the colours were done by mouse.

Some gestures/quickies

2006-10-15T11:49:00.000-07:00

All done on the train to Philly yesterday. Trying to work faster, and more from life.

2006-07-21T06:51:00.000-07:00

Here's the more recent stuff, done in the past few days. The scanner doesn't pick up all of the mid-toned shading, which is a little annoying. The neck and shoulder areas are getting a little better, but still need work. Under that is a quick sketch from this morning, focusing on more interesting poses. I wanted more of a 'classic' body type, and a little bit of pudge around her middle that's accented by the way her body is turning.

More ink sketches, this one was done out of an anatomy book I own. The hands are still very weak. Then I did a portrait out of a fashion magazine. She's a very pretty lady but I didn't do her any favors. -_- Her eyes ended up much bigger than in the referance.

2006-07-21T06:35:00.000-07:00

Some drawings from the past two months. I was playing around with ink a bit, since I use pencil so much. These were drawn very quickly. I like using pens because they stop me from going back and re-working a picture a dozen times, something I have a problem with. Still working on better feet and hands. I'm kind of fond of these, I like all of the overlapping lines for some reason.

2006-05-28T08:17:00.000-07:00

Finished version, such as it is. I'm not sure which I like better. I did have fun colouring it though.

2006-05-28T06:36:00.000-07:00

The rough draft of an oekaki I'm doing. The final one will be coloured in a more cell shaded style, but I liked the sketchy look of this version.

2006-05-17T12:21:00.000-07:00

Another hand drawing. I like this one better, though. I managed to get some nice loose lines here. Hopefully I can just get more loose and relaxed in general with my drawing.

2006-05-17T12:11:00.000-07:00

Some of my more recent sketches, focusing on improving anatomy. The one on the left was done from a photo reference. My scanner doesn't really pick up all of the shading, though.

The other is just a drawing of my left hand. I really need to work on improving my hands more. -__- I've been drawing a lot lately, but I haven't really finished anything of note, just sketches and anatomy studies.

Getting things started

2006-03-08T09:46:00.000-08:00

I finally got around to starting an art blog. (Hurray!) I always thought it would be a neat thing to have, and a good place to post WIPs and sketchbook stuff and other things that I don't normally put on the internet. It also gives me some motivation to move all of the comic books off of my scanner and actually put up a few sketch pages.

This is a recent oekaki I did over at Ochiba. If you like oekaki, you should really check this place out. There are some really wonderful artists there, both in terms of skill and their personalities.
