Oldies But Goodies!

Here's an image I started a while back... finally got around to finishing it. I was trying to go for a 1950's era singer and I knew from the get-go that I wanted a sepia color scheme.

I couldn't decide which one I liked more, so here's both.

They vant to suck your blood!

I recently saw an X-files episode about vampires and rented Priest, so I felt the need to draw some vampires.

I'll post a colored version soon, as well as some other  drawings.

Batter up!

Over the last couple of weeks, during my free time, I been working on this piece and a couple of others. It started as a doodle but quickly turned into a pain in the butt. I struggled a lot with the pose and trying to make it feel right. At one point I thought I had it, but then I re-watched David Colman's character design DVD and then I started to ask myself so many questions about the design, feeling, what reaction I was getting from it and if it was what I wanted. It eventually became so complex and frustrating that I decided to try to get back to my initial drawing and stop thinking about it so much and just draw.

I'm still bothered by a few design aspects but I'm glad I got through it and managed to learn from my mistakes, hopefully. 

My favorite part of completing a piece is getting to color it. With this piece I tried something different with the rendering and I think it paid of.

P.s. Save Versions! (had a little mishap and lost a chunk of work)

More markers!

Late night drawing is pretty sweat.

A quiet house = awesome.

Lets try this again!

The image was so huge that blogger shrunk it down a lot. Here is a different version that I hope will work.

I had to change the composition to make it all fit but I'm not satisfied with how it turned out. I think the previous version works better in terms of readability.

Markers and photoshop!

I decided to post some more marker drawings and make a sort of composition out of all of them.
The newly added ones were done over the past couple of months.

p.s. on a semi-related note, in middle school and junior high, my nickname was markers.

It's been a while

Its great that I can finally post again. I recently changed computers and had to set everything up. Its frustrating trying to setup my xp era printer and scanner to my windows 7 system, there's so many extra steps.

I can finally post some of my traditional drawings.

These are marker renderings that I've done over the last couple of weeks. They include some Photoshop touch-up because I accidentally dropped water on one of them and various color changes.

Here's a couple of drawings that I did on the back of my completed sketchbook. The back cover had a nice brown color, so I wanted to try some tonal drawing.

Gotta start somewhere!

I’ve had this blog site for a while now but I haven’t gotten around to posting anything. I attribute this mainly to fear, fear of trying something new and fear of letting the world see my art, although I can’t say that laziness isn’t a factor either. =)

I visit numerous art blogs every day, getting inspired to create art or just enjoying the art that others create. I feel its time that I start doing the same.

This drawing was all done in photoshop.
