I decided to do illustration friday for my 23 minute entry today.

character for "Christmas every day"

This is a quick sketch I did for the dad of me and Cheries animation we are working on, which I am way behind on. Anyway I'm going to draw him a lot more to get his look down better but this is a start.

Moonlight...Starlight

So I was just messing with paints some more... and got this.

Painted Jessica

So this is a picture of a friend of mine. I used photoshop to paint over her. I used the eyedropper to sample the colors, and then toggled back and forth between that and the brush tool. Occasionally I used the rub tool, but not much. The finished product looks a little like the water color filter that takes two seconds in photoshop, but this seems more rewarding. I've seen comic book guys use this same technique so I thought I would try it out. I got to admit...I'm pleased, and I think it has kind of another world-ly feel even though it's based on something from this world.
I must admit, I finished the whole face in 23 minutes, but the background took me longer.

The picture looks pretty standard when viewed this small, but you can

Maybe it's a Buick...

I thought it would be cool to see a powerful character struggling to keep something (or someone?) from falling. I would need more than 23 min and a model to solve the problems with the hands and feet.

Dynamo!

I'm working on dynamic poses for the human figure.

An American Danewolf in Provo

My friend Dane liked the first drawing I did of him as a vampire and so I did a second one of him as a werewolf. The non-colored drawing is not my 23 minute drawing, I have a copy of it but since it is in red pencil and is kind of hard to see I put the inked drawing instead. Plus I kind of like the black and white version.

what the?

This is an experimental piece

Arrrrg.

I was doing these other drawings that didn't quite turn out the way I wanted so I figured since I was stuck in this frustrated mood from work deliverying pizza I might as well put that energy into my drawings. The focus of these sketches is with a diliberate lack of care of if it looks like how I normally would draw it and more care into speed and letting my emotions out on the on paper.

Crocky

He's so lost in a daydream, he doesn't realize he's upright.

G & T

Here's a drawing i'm doing for my friend Gentry. He's giving it to his wife Tiffany. The final pic will include their son Gavin.

Dane the Vampire Nerd

My friend Dane asked me to draw a picture of him as a vampire, I'm not quite sure why but I figured I might as well use it as my 23 minute drawing.

James Alan Zap

This is the dad in my comic strip I am developing

Jeff Blake #1

I saw Jeff's comment on my Godman post about sketching him so I thought I would give it a go, Anyway my inking technique is getting better but I still see a lot of room for improvement.

Orchid and Mr. Stone

I got the idea for this while I was watching a film by Oliver Stone...
Actually I'm lying I drew this and named it, and THEN realized I was watching a film by Oliver Stone...but the other one makes a better stor....no actually this version is better.



So this is really simple, and is basically a quick sketch of what I hope to make an actual drawing of one day, but I want to keep things simple because I only have 23 minutes. In all honesty I don't remember how to draw and I want to get it back, and I think sketching fast and dirty and simple works best for me right now. I like the little orchid but I'm actually most proud of the boulder to the right which took me all of 5 seconds. Isn't that sad? Oh don't forget Mr. Stone's stone buttocks.

Freaks of the Fair

I like how this turned out however trying to find reference for ideas and redoing the type and coloring made working on this take the longest of any 23 minute project to date. Hopefully I can get back to simple sketches and not loose focus of what this is about. Even though it did take longer than I expected I am glad I spent the time doing it because that is what this is about right, trying new things and experimenting.

the smiling hollow

Finally...my first post.


This sucks. I haven't drawn in years...I have no technique and I usually take my time. Next time will be better

All is fair

When you're as strong as this guy, you don't need to be capable of love.

Bench Press

What do you get when you cross a large man on a park bench and a double-decker ice cream cone? Please tell me, because ever since I drew this, i've been plagued by that question.
