Sketchbook galore

I feel like I've been neglecting this blog a lot.

More sketching because yes.

Princess Zelda sketch

I’m going through a Zelda high. Beware.

But yea…I lost my rush with this one. Oh well, time to move on.

Link sketch

Link is about to shoot you in the FACE!

Doodle during class. I think I'll paint color this one at some point.

Mermaid WIP #1

Work in progress #1 (or #3, technically, I lost track) It's a mermaid character! threw some flat lines and colors on it. Gonna jump on something else for now. Like watching Transformers 3 on Netflix and banging myself in the head on how awful it is.

To be continued...

limited palette practice

Something that started as just a warm up, ended up testing a limited color palette. I didnt time myself this time, I’d say roughly an hour and a half? Bet if I flip it I’d probably have a heart attack on how ugly it might be ._.

Concept galore

Some environments and quick speed paintings and sketches from that weird Octo-Samurai idea.

Octo-Samurai sketch dump

My "notes" at a work meeting today, and other junky sketches. Eventually, once I'm done with this concept project, I'll be sick of drawing Samurai and tentacles. Maybe...

Motor-Shark - WIP

Taking a break from my other work...and I sketched a shark on a motorcycle :l
Issues. I have them.

Sketches + thumbs galore

Planning out an illustration of the Octo-Samurai dude and his partner doing what they do best, robbing banks. Here are a few sketches, throwing ideas on what I wanted to do. It's going to be similar to thumb #3, except a little more dynamic, and probably more 'on-your-face' kind of view.

Spearwoman

First pass/scratched concept character. I need to re-work the concept with a better working pose. Figured I might as well post it instead of throwing it to the recycle bin.

Concept sketch

some quick concept stuff. Leaning more or less towards the big one, but probably take out that belt, cause it looks like a penis >_>....

sketch 04042012

Broke out the Moleskine sketchbook I've been saving for almost a year. Quick sketch for it. The paper is so....smoooooth....

iPad sketching - part 2

My girlfriend has an iPad and I got some time to play around with it. Procreate is a nice app, I can see how one would need to get used to the no pressure function, and also on the portrait? Didnt even realize it was coming out that blurry.

Havent had much time to draw stuff I actually want to draw lately. Started this at work during lunch. I want to refine it, but maybe once I get the mountain of school projects and commission out of the way.

I just like the Phoenix very much ._.

more speed studies

Speed painting life studies. Trying to get back into them. The first one, the browser crashed before I could save the image (was using a random picture generator)

Another round of random sketches

Because I can.

iPad painting

I had a chance to play around with ArtRage on the iPad. I'm not used to the weird stylus yet, and the weird pressure sensitivity from the different programs and the stylus itself. Hopefully I'll get a chance to practice some more. I definitely still feel more comfortable with Colors! and a Nintendo DS, but okay, it's a...new experience.

Typography junk

Practicing drawing several different fonts, cause I’m terrible at it and I need to learn. Heavy reference was used in most of them.

Is it shark week already?

Dunno about you guys, but I’m getting ready for Shark Week, a month in advance.



PS: I, in fact, wore that hat last year.



PPS: You can pretty much guess that 80% of the sketches/paintings will probably come from the Nintendo DS. Why? CAUSE WE ARE IN LOVE!

Iron Man

Last of these NDS doodles for a while. Need to get actual important work done. I was just having too much fun =/

And a painting done on the DS aswell, I wanted to see how far I could push the tiny machine. It's kinda off, but there are no layers or adjustment options, so it's the closest thing I have to traditional painting, without the cheats =P
