Napkin

Here's a little sketch I did on a napkin the other night. Nothing crazy but I kinda like it; decided to throw a little blue over it and I feel like the napkin texture worked out in a way.

Pencil Test

This is the first pencil test I've done since my senior year of college (I apologize for the lighting); it's nothing fancy but it's a start. 

2013 Commence!

Hello! Let's start this year!

Here's an attempt at a little squeezy toy chicken from The Behemoth that sits on my desk.

Oh that's right, before I go, I should mention that I moved to Atlanta, GA this past October and have been working down here since. Check out Out There coming to IFC soon!

Pen gestures and sketches

Been a little again since I've updated, gotta get the ball rolling again. I generally don't scan in gestures (can be rather unintelligible) and I'm generally pretty bad at scanning in sketchbook things but, I was pleasantly satisfied with this batch from last night/today so I figured it was worth a scan.

The first couple were a mix of random sketches as well as referenced drawings, and the last two are primarily 30 and 60 second gestures.

Dancin like a nut

Here are a couple attempts at coloring one of Katelyn Walsh's sketches. Tried some different things here and there on both, gotta keep pushin though. Good practice though, appreciative she let me give it a shot!

Knight, Sphere

Here's a little sketch I did yesterday, sorta like how it came out.



Been looking at Johannes Helgeson's art a bunch lately, feel like I definitely missed out on seeing his work when I went to conceptart.org regularly! Really inspiring work! Yeah though, he recently posted about an old post on CA called the Peer Project that was headed by another great artist, Tom Scholes. It's got some great exercises for improving rendering and color, I figured it's worth a shot! Tried out some sphere's lately, this is the best of the bunch. It's definitely helping, at the very least it's making me consider edges a bunch more.



Pretty lumpy eh? BABY STEPS

Drive, MCA

Couple of things, first up is a sketch that quickly turned into Ryan Gosling in Drive. Had to try my hand at it!



And a picture I drew of MCA from the Beastie Boys in the video for the song Intergalactic. Doesn't look like him but wanted to do something for him. He'll be missed!
