Sketchbook Update

I've really been enjoying learning to simplify my drawings into basic shapes in my drawing for animation class. We've been talking about line and shape mostly. It's amazing how the simpler you go, the better things can look.

Damage Inducing, Hoofed Animal Headed, Person...

That was our first assignment regarding the creative process and creating something that a client would like by asking specific questions and doing your research.

Hey, it's been a while. I got slammed by that thing called figuring out your school schedule. Here is a cover I made for a book that a cooworker is writing. For January we will call it "Ink and Marker Mayhem Month!!!" I'm in a drawing for animators class and we will be making a lot of finished ink works with marker shading. I hope to create some sweet things this semester.

The Finished Oil Painting

It's done. I actually finished it a while ago, but just didn't get around to loading it on the computer. There is a bit of glare. I'm still learning how to take a picture of oil paintings correctly.

The River of Sidon

  And it came to pass that Alma fought with Amlici with the sword face to face; and they did contend mightily, one with another.

So Much Fun!!!

     I love digital!!!! I am still getting used to it, but it is so forgiving! It allows you to plan, to construct and to perfect. I am really enjoying this. I'm going to show you my method and the process of creating some digital stuff. The picture below took about an hour to complete. Not too shabby.

What the?.......

And Walla!!!

Digital December!

     I can't seem to get away from using alliterations for my themes. I have not much experience in the digital world when it comes to digital painting and such. So I am going to be busting out the digital like it's no ones business. I'm really looking for input on my work this month, and I mean real input. We could also call this "Get Down and Dirty December" too because I want to hear the critiques, the nitty-gritty. It's nice to hear the fluff, but I also want to hear what is wrong, what looks weird, what can be improved? Thanks to those who have posted in the past, you have no idea how much input helps in the learning process. Enjoy!

I've gotten the impression that quite a few people like this particular
digital piece. So to kick off the Digital month I'm going to make some prints of these.
If any of you would like one, I will print one for you. I just need to you pay for
the printing and material costs and a little bit for the time. It should run around $5 or so.
