Different Name Same Blog

Hi friends, here are some new drawings from my Drawing II class this semester. These are what I work on when I'm not drawing cartoon dragons fyi. Enjoy

The first still life from this semester involving a (perhaps hip?) bone and a clamp. No intended symbolism here, just two random interesting looking objects. It was interesting trying to get back into still life drawing after so long of not doing. But I do love charcoal ever so much.








This next one I'm planning on inking over. I just couldn't do it to this original drawing because I liked it so much and undoubtedly I will ruin with ink, so I made a copy and am going to practice on that.









Here's a casting of a head. My teacher has many of these. Former students I guess. They could also be the heads of former students who didn't follow his instructions. Don't worry, I'll investigate.














Self portrait using silver point on a one of those pieces of paper you get at the paint store to test colors on.














And the 3 figure studies (nudity).
































Here's an update on one of the 3 comic projects I've got started. All of them are at least one page in and going incredibly slow, but progress is being made! This one is in its rough stage and word bubbles will be added. It's definitely been fun doing these, hopefully they'll get better as I go along but it pretty cool learning stuff right now. That's frank and herb. They make deliveries. They're really bad at it.











Thanks for looking!

rusty painted

Hey, haven't updated in a long while. Decided to put up the finished Rusty image. He came out well I think, had a lot of fun painting him.

Further Bad guy reworking

The bad guy in the comic, or one of many, has taken a while to come to. This one is not 100%, but I'm thinking it's at least 95% done. In further news I'm going to Cape Town soon. I'll get to see penguins. Like in Happy Feet.

Painting done

Here's the finished painting of "Attack of the Grickens!" I like how it turned out. Took long enough:) Some real progress on character development for the comic. Maybe a snap shot of one of them soon.

Painting is fun!

Here's a semi-painted attack of the grickens. I've decided to go with a sunset for the setting, I tried painting the scene in different lights, but this one kept wanting sunset so I gave in. Been doing a lot of thumbnails for the story, hopefully I'll get another page inked before I go. I work sooo slooowww, but i still enjoy it, hopefully i'll get quicker...quicker:)

Yikes! Attack of the Grickens!/KFG

Hallo, just wanted to post a new picture. Doesn't really go with the story I'm working on but it was an image that kept dancing around in my brain, so it had to come out. I'm in the middle of painting in photoshop. In other news I went snorkeling today at Ushaka beach near the harbor mouth. The sea was placid today my friends, like an old man drinking a mint julip on a kentucky wrap around porch. It was so nice, saw many fish and got to do a bit of surf-ski kayaking as well.

Cap'n Blackbarnacle and my mug

Hey folks, here's a few new images. One is Cap'n Blackbarnacle, he's an old salty seadog of the Narwhale persuasion and will sooner toss you the sharks than look at ya. And then there's me. I'll just probably shake your hand and say "nice to meet you" even if its not true. Me and the Cap'n are very different.
