HUGE 44 Drawing Art Dump!

// September 28th, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

So yeah, I’ve been busy, this is probably 3/4 of what I’ve done since I ended the sketch challenge, the rest is even more bare frames. I’ve gotten into this thing of busting out a bunch of poses, then gradually going back through and filling them in. Some art turning out to be really awesome. Well, here’s the gallery below, let me know what you think!

370. BOOM.

// August 7th, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

I decided to do some color work this morning, and this was the result after about an hour, hour and a half of painting. It’s really rough looking still, but I really like it, and I think I’m going to leave it rough, it’s a nice style for the action in the shot.

369. Damnit Bill!

// August 5th, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

I got an email from HBO earlier about True Blood (fantastic show btw) and I looked at Stephen Moyer, aka Bill Compton, King of Louisiana, and thought “hey, I can draw him.” Well I did, then I proceeded to eff it up. I had it, about half way through it looked spot on, then after a few more minutes, I don’t know what I did, but I completely lost the likeness. This makes me mad, so I’m going to try this one again soon. Continue Reading

368. Mo’ Logo

// August 3rd, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

Did up the logo I did the other day with some some color options and symmetry. I dig so far, I think it’s missing something, but not sure what.

367. Business Cards

// August 2nd, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

I’ve always toyed with the idea of having my own personal business cards to give out as an artist, and today I tinkered around with an idea I had, so this is it. I’d LOVE to hear some comments and criticisms, so let me have it!

Logo Design

// August 1st, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

I was challenged by my Dad to come up with a logo with Cerberus in mind (3-headed dog, guardian of the gates to Hades). I think what I did came out pretty good. I’ll probably do a vector version soon if he digs it.

365. Challenge Complete!

// July 31st, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

It’s kind of hard to believe it, but 365 consecutive days of drawing is completed. There were lots of times I wanted to quit, but it seems that here at the end, I want to keep drawing. I’m going to continue to see how many days I can get it up to, but I’m going to be much more loose, and I’ll probably post a lot of bare-bones sketches in between bigger and more elaborate pieces. Anyways, to cap off the end, I redrew the first one of the challenge. I think I improved! Thanks for following along through this last year, and I hope you’ll continue watching for my posts as I continue! Continue Reading

364. Pew pew!

// July 30th, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

Stop, in the name of love. It’s hammer time to collaborate and listen. I have one drawing left, and it’s gonna be awesome. I’m gonna do a new version of the first drawing I did for my year sketch challenge. Be excited for it!

363. Powah!

// July 29th, 2011 // No Comments » // 365sketch

I wanted to do like an uncontrolled burst of energy, like an angry mage or something. I really think I hit a decent mark, though I should have gone a bit further on the exaggeration scale with some bigger movement, wilder details, etc. Either way, I dig.
