Some More Sketches

Dec 19:

I tried to draw like four other things before this and it's still not quite right. It was sort of going to be a less cartoony version of Suma from Cinema, but that didn't happen. It's just this random sketch. It's not bad, but I don't like the face. The hair and dress are pretty alright, but ehh.















Dec 12:
Here's a sleepy Icarus. Passed out drunken sleepy Icarus with very out of proportion legs. The original idea was to draw his apartment, but I only did his couch. I like his face, but his left hand and both feet are crap. Seriously.

Dec 18

Today's feature is Shawn Spencer, from Psych =D

I've been trying to draw James Roday for a while and this is what I happened to draw today, Mr. Roday as Shawn Spencer. It's not the worst sketch, took about an hour while watching Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the classic one with Gene Wilder. Anywho, I don't hate it, but I'm still working on it. I finally have the hair right, but I don't like how his face came out, the jaw shape. They wear plaid too damn often on that show.

Dec 17

Only one sketch this time. Yesterdays. This is an updated version of a costume I made for myself a few years back. It was 'Mar, the Black Mage.' You can't see the magical staff here, and I've updated the coat and just realized I forgot the hat. The staff would also have been updated for this. Not the best, and since I'm home now so the rest of the sketches will be on my tablet, so hopefully i'll get better with the damn thing.

Nothing too special here, not one of my favorite sketches, but it'll do.

Two More

Dec 16a:

Icarus and Leo are dressed up for some costume party. Leo, on the left, is Batman and Icky, driving, is the Joker. Yeah, I've been watching B:TAS for the past two days. More Batman art to come.
I like how the car came out considering I haven't tried to draw one in a long while.







Dec 16b:
Seleman is the one with the eyepatch getting pushed around and Trotsky is doing the pushing. These are two characters I haven't drawn in a long time. They were created in fall 2005 I believe and I drew them that fall then not much after that. I didn't want ot leave Sele wth his old hair style, so now it's more like he just hasn't gotten it cut in a while and Trotzky couldn't take it anymore.

Dec 11 through 14

And so my daily Sketches continue. The 14th is my favorite out of this bunch of images. The first is Clyde and Maximillion, his pet raccoon. The seond just Icky and Leo. Third fantasy world. Fourth, an urban fantasy world.

A Few More Day's Sketches

More sketches. The first and second are of Giovanni and Zanita.
For Dec 8, Gio and Zy are playing in the winter snow. Dec 9, Zy for drunk. Gio's saying something along the lines of 'why do I let you drink. This always happens' this would be sometime in college.

The last, Dec 10 is of Wren and Azriel being happy together. I love drawing them together, they're always happy. Yeah, it doesn't look like it so much here, but yeah, Az is a girl and not a guy.

Enjoy you apes.

Dec 7:

The Spirit

Dec 3:

The Spirit and Ebony White.
Characters own by Will Eisner and DC. I like how The Sprit came out, it was interesting working outside of my normal style.

Sketch a Day

I'm trying to done one completish sketch every day. Here's yesterday's and today's sketches.

Dec 1:

Sebastian, Violet and David find a cat and her kittens after she recently gave birth. They're middle school age here.








Dec 2:

Conjoined giant twins. One's ready ot leave, the other wants just one more human...I don't know if he wants to eat him or what...

English Youth and Others

Necropolis doodles and sketches



1) The London Cast when they're younger. Tia, David and Bo are 12 and Amadeus is 14 here [and almost too short for his age...] I don't know why Bo is making a face at David. He's blind, so that's his walking stick thing hanging from his wrist




This and the following are called 'Dead Love' Kind of made for Valentine's day back in Feb, but they didn't get colored until April or May.

2) Donovan is playing with Solomon's hair. Solomon doesn't really like it, but at the same time he thinks Donovan's being cute so he bears with it






3) Zanita sporting a different hair cut, and Giovanni looking the same as always. Their conversation is about how Zy hasn't had her hair long since they were kids. Her response is 'if Gio would stop putting her in situation where it would get burned or destroyed...' On the side is a bad sketch of Young Zy and a good doodle of Young Gio.




4) Young England cast again. I don't like the top one of Bo and Tia, so I re-drew it in a different style. On the left is young David before his hair is dyed green and before he has his rattail. Below Bo and Tia is David and Tia meeting I think for the first time.

5) Solomon then his father with the 'stache. Chibi Sol then Sol and Don being all fluffy and in love together. I never felt like coloring it, but I do like it enough.



6) Part 2 of 'Dead Love'.

First up on the left are Zanita and Giovanni. Next to them are Tia and David.
At the bottom in pencil is Alexis as cupid, but I didn't like it so that was unfinished. On the right is me being depressed that I had no one for Valentine's day, but I never felt like finishing it off. Too unhappy for all the fluff here.

Spaced Out Doodle

So, I fell in love with Spaced when I watched it a few weeks back and it made me want to draw. There's a lot of Tim/ Simon Pegg here. Got that man is a cutie, and fun to draw. I actually like how most of my doodles of him came out...well, there are elements I would love to change, but over all I'm satisfied enough with it. I have the entire cast, except Twist here at least once. And Edgar Wright has a very awesome sketch. His is one of my favorites. Mark Heap/ Brian is another that I really like, the chibi at the very bottom of this entire image. That one looks great. Most of this was drawn without watching the show, but the ones of Edgar and Tyres and Collin were drawn while watching Spaced.

Catwoman's Dome

Kizer180 had a project on dA and here's my submission for it. from initial sketch to finished painting. This costume is based on the Tim Sales costume as seen in Batman: The Long Halloween. Created by Bill Kane and Bob Finger. Owned by DC

Two Quick Sketches

It's been a while since I posted anything here. This first image was of a younger man, but I decided to age him a bit. The only erasing was on his mouth, it ended up being too feminine, so I had to erase and fix it. Totally, maybe about 15/20 minutes. I have so many generic characters with short hair. next one will have longer hair.


This is a quite generic character. A general old guy. Early 40s maybe?


My second image here is of Jason's character for the Rogues Gallery [Previously know as Generic City]. He's a telepath and a speedster.

Truthfully, I don't know what happened for him to be running like he is. He's either escaping from something or Tesla [Allison] was hurt. I don't know. This was going to be some one generic too, but I've been mulling over the idea of him being a speedster too, and so it's happened.

Work in Progress: June 6, 2008

More work. An additional 40minutes of work from the previous image.

Her skin is too orange now. I need to get it more brown

Work in Progress: June 6, 2008

Some sort of progress. Her face is starting to look old, a lot older than I wanted her to look. We'll just have to see if/how I can fix it

Work in Progress: June 5 2008,

This isn't anyone in particular, just a face I started sketching while watching Family Guy. I decided to make her black because I keep making generic characters white that some of 'em need to be black. I don't know what I'll be doing with her hair, maybe I'll make it rave tastic and some crazy color, I'm thinking a black to reddish color.

Current Progress:
-Sketch
-Skin painting

Needed:
-More skin, darker in general, than lay in highlights and shadows.
-Features: eye, nose, neck, lips, ear
-Hair
-Shirt
-background filler color

Time:
Sketch: ~ 10 min, ~10 min clean up
Painting: ~ 45 min, ~3 layers of paint. Tan, darker tan, browish color

June 4, 2008 Sketches

The bloody one is somewhat inspired by Ed Norton from Fight Club, the scene when he's at the conference and his mouth is all bloodied up. And also by a character being affected by Extremis from the Extremis arc in Iron Man, drawn by Adi Granov.



Nothing special about the other one. I don't care much for it, but here it stands as something I drew. It's so easy to delete the ones I don't like, whereas traditionally I can't or won't get rid of something, not matter how little I like it.

CA Sketchbooks of Interest

An easier way than having half a thousand bookmarks so I can keep with with other people's sketchbooks from CA.

Blue Sketches

Everything here is from a few weeks..or months ago. I can't remember, it's a case by case thing. Hell, one of them is from late 2007...

Some stuff from Little Shop of Horrors. Everything is based off of the 1987 musical starring Rick Moranis and Seymour, Ellen Greene and Audrey and Audrey II voiced by Levi Stubbs. I drew Seymour a few times, I realy like the fully shaded one. It has been inked and is now waiting to be colored on the computer at some point. I also drew the sadistic dentist, played by Steve Martin. I love his song.




To draw Audrey II I had to pause the movie periodically. I like the one on the bottom left, that was drawn based off of 'Feed Me' if I remember right. One of my favorite songs.













These were some free doodles. I was curious about drawing somebody getting dressed and fixing their tie. And I wanted to draw some suspenders. Funny thing is now I have I.D. [not posted yet] from Generic City who wears a tie, and I can put suspenders on as desired. I really do like how the the largest one came out, where he's taking off his jacket and undoing his tie. I think I'll try drawing that one again at some point, it was fun. No reference was used.




This guy was a doodle. I decided to try my hand at drawing an emotion, and I rarely draw frustration. Then I decided to make fun of why he was frustrated. Can't decide which color to dye his hair next. There's nothing too special about this one. I do like his facial expression, but this is something I probably could have worked on longer, and it's also something if I'm so pressed to do it again.



This girl is the Banker. I was planning on drawing a comic for my school paper based on Anton Chekovs 'The Bet', but I then ran into a bit of an art slump and was unable to draw or finish concepting what was necessary for the comic. I did like how this sketch came out, so I inked her head shot with the intention of coloring it, but by the time I inked it a while back , my computer was dead and I didn't feel like coloring on a school computer.

Iron Man

To continue with my love fest from my other journal, here is an example of what I have done.

On the left is Movie Tony, post escape. I always like how Doweney walk, so self assures and with a sexy little swagger, and I tried to convey that here. I don't think it's as successful here as it is in the first drawing i'd done a few weeks ago on a steno pad I had lying around. The darker pink was to kind of give this a more complete look, and to make it a bit neater, even though it is still messy as hell.

On the right you will see what is the beginning of my helmet and Shellhead suit. I think I'm going to streamline the ear thing, make it a bit less jagged, but I'll find a way to work with it.

I went with a more hexagonal shape for the energy heat core...thing. And I like how the shoulder piece came out, a circular guard. More to be added to this design in the future.

Sketches, a beginning

This is my first post here, even though I've had this for a while. Hmm, Mostly doodles will go here, and some tests of things. Most anything I draw on my tablet I guess I can stick here. I mean, I draw all the time, so having things to post up here will be a breeze.

Art programs in use are Art Rage 2.5 Starter Ed, and MS Paint. When I go back down to ODU I'll purchase Photoshop CS3 and I'll work with that.


The first image was a random gift art for a girl on DeviantArt of her character Bugan. Jinsonlygurl. I liked her character design and drew that for her. I plan on drawing something better at some point. This took about 15 min, sketch and a rough 'inking'






The next piece is seriously a scribble of a piece. I was practicing with my tablet while watching TV last night and pretty much put on...paper?...what came to mind. The big pale face in the middle back was supposed to be Alan Tyduk, but that ended in failure, so I added some other stuff. The only things here that even remotely look like anything are labeled. One is Solomon, the son of a corporate mogul of mine. The redhead in the middle somewhat resembles a character of mine, but still not quite right.

I was practicing with the painting aspect of Art Rage when I drew this red head by the sea. I was trying to get her hair to look more realistic. I understand there are better ways I could go about painting, but it was originally going to be her face, but The hair took over, then the background, which should have been painted first was done last, then I gave up on it. Future paintings will have more pre-planning involved.



This last piece is a drawing I started in MS Paint. I sketched it out then decided to color it, then I got bored. I might finish it one day. Not much, but the dress and shading for it, and fixing her other pony tail so it looks more like a darker shade of orange than it currently does.
