Sketchbook Dump Highlight Post




If you follow me on Deviantart, you'll know that I recently did a two part marathon sketchbook dump that ended with nearly twenty new pictures being uploaded.  From this I learned two things. One, I need a dedicated flatbed scanner, because taking snapshots of each sketch just doesn't cut it when it comes to quality.  Two, I have a weird obsession with drawing heads.  Maybe this has to do with the fact I'm insecure about my ability to effectively draw faces, so in response I just draw a lot of them.  Instead of spamming you with all the pictures, I'll give you a sampling of my personal favorites from the batch.  To see all of them, feel free to check out my deviant page.


A fun little cartoon beastie I did while 
experimenting with combinations of art styles.
This was an attempt to merge art nouveau and 
hispanic chibi (if that's even a style)


Not everything was cute, however.  These
are a couple of pen sketch concepts of some
generic cyberpunk/horror characters.



One of my absolute favorites from 
the set was also the last I uploaded.  
I think I have a thing for biomech vehicles.
Whether I'm any good at drawing them 
is a completely different matter.

Hope you take a look at the full dump, and please feel free to let me know what you think!  This artist loves feedback.

Duo Pic Post!

Alrighty then! Gonna get things started off with a double-post of pics I finished yesterday. First off is "The Interface" This one started off really, really red.  I toned it down as I went along, and hopefully I hit the right balance.


Up next:  A guy who despite my best efforts, ended up with the bleh name of "Northern Nomad"
I've discovered that a brush that emulates a palette knife is just what I've been missing.  It gives a nice sharp bold line that allows your eye to suggest novel possibilities.
