ohh deer...

I'm trying to get back into life drawing(even though these are from pictures from the internet).  Cartoons are good and all, but being able to draw from life is what gives me the ability to stylize characters better.

Maybe for Lent this year I will fast from cartoons.

Also, I am sorry for the pun in the title of this post.

The Voice.

Acrylic and Photoshop

This is the antagonist from my new film I am currently storyboarding with Thomas.  This isn't a final design, but I thought it was a nice image. The Voice's description from the script is below.

"THE VOICE, a strange HUMANOID BLACK SILHOUETTE, is crawling as if the gravity shift didn’t affect it. It’s smooth pace resembles an OCTOPUS. Its body, faint against the sky, is defined like a BLACK GEM REFLECTING AN UNKNOWN LIGHT SOURCE."

A poem and drawings for my birthday.

I am 24 today.

Yes, I am now a man.

Next year I will be able to drive a rental car for no additional fee.

Feels good...

blank-ity blank: Drawings from my mind

I took a couple week break from ye ol' blog.  When I sat down again to draw this is how I felt.  I was reminded how important it is to keep drawing, even when I am "on break".

I'd also like to give a shout out to AnimateClay.com for doing a little report on me, thanks guys!

A few more drawings for your viewing pleasure are below.  Hit me up on twitter if you want to keep up!

I did it for the mooks.

@themooks told me he'd like to see me draw a robot with the liquid acrylics, so I obliged.

 And some more design from that short I've been thinking of. I really like how the older brother turned out.  Click the picture to make it bigger.

Hit me up on twitter (look below here for a button).  I love talking to people.

More drawings and paintings.

Here are some more drawings/paintings.

Familty affair: Drawings and character designs.

              
Here are the family members that may, or may not encounter that baby bigfoot I posted on friday.  I've been enjoying drawing these character designs.  It was fun to try to make them look similar but unique.

Not much else to say, just a lot of drawings to look at.  (six more drawings after the jump)

Bigfoot Drawings.

A new short film idea has been bouncing around the ol' noggin.  One of the main characters is a baby bigfoot!

I think best when I draw!

Wacom's Inkling Review and Drawing Comparisons

I've had a little bit of time to test out Wacom's Inkling. Below are some comparative drawings and a full review of what I thought about it. 

I was really excited to get my hands on the Inkling.  I had grand ideas of trying some animation all on one page with the frames separated by layers, but I thought I should try some test drawings.  I put the drawings side by side so that you could see a comparison (click them to see bigger versions).

Sketch Dump

black brush pen

 I've been getting really into this liquid acrylic and a brush for my line work.  I haven't felt much like drawing lately, but I've been forcing myself to.  I bought this huge sketch book.  I really wish I hadn't.  I usually go through a sketch book a year, but this one is probably going to take twice as long.  So I am drawing as much as possible to get done with this one as soon as possible.

Enjoy!(more after the break.)
