sketches

Ninja girl

Before she quit this girl at work wanted me to draw her as a ninja with the hat we wear, so there you go Katie.

Stellar

AI - Gina and Jordin

I watched American Idol tonight. I had just been drawing from a comic book called "Stupid Comics" by Jim Mahfood which is freakin sweet I might add. Anyway I was still in the mood for drawing and paused a couple times and drew Gina Glocksen and Jordin Sparks and really enjoyed it.

experiments with Ethan

In drawing my comics one thing that has bugged me is the size of Ethan and all the characters. So I have been playing around with Ethan to see what he would he like at different sizes.

Super cool girl

Several times this past week I have attempted to make a 23 entry but they have all turned out like crap. I'm not that pleased with this but it's a start. I just wanted to post something and hopefully now that I am over this stupid Castlerock crap I can move on, get back into the groove of things and start making better art.

Extinction's Brink

I started to wonder what might cause a species to die off...

Prairie Dog

Well here is my prairie dog attempt. I wanted to try coloring fur to see how well I could do. I think I need to learn some more on painting in photoshop because the technique I was using wasn't working like I had hoped. Any suggestions on how to color fur?

10 elephants

I started drawing elephants as strange as I could, I lost track of time I was having so much fun so I really don't know how long it took me to do it, just that I really enjoyed it.

Grill

This one started with a quick scribble. This is what I saw.

random numbers and color study

Okay, I was wanting to do a color study and didn't know what to paint so I came up with a number system. I wrote out like some numbers and then assigned letters to them accordingly with where they fit in the alphabet, so A=1. The numbers that where over 24 I added together until they where less than 26. my numbers where5 3 7 9 7 or "ecgig". I did a google search and 9 entries pulled up and this color study is of one of those pictures, and I focused more on the color than on the accuracy of the drawing.

This is my very first color study with painting in photshop. It's really challenging to paint in photoshop when you have no idea how to do it. That being said after like 15 minutes of trying to paint I started to figure some stuff out so that now I have a much better understanding of way to paint with photoshop and my next entry should be even better.
What's strange with the numbers that I choose and then added together to make smaller ended up being my birthday, I just barely realized that, strange.

give me a Hug

I wanted to try and do the text as part of the illustration just to see what it would be like. Again I just drew whatever popped into my head. Maybe it's my subconscious giving me hints to take care of my inner child or that I need to get more hugs in my life.

Pizza Guy

I originally made this for Thursday post but ended up re inking it because I didn't like the first version I made. I think this one turned out alright.

I wrote out a big list of things that people say to me as I walk some where to make a delivery because I hear it so often I thought others might be interested-okay maybe not interested but that's what you do with life's annoyances right, you make them into comic strips.

old man and seal

I just felt like drawing whatever came out of my hand this time and this is what I drew. I am still working on an inking style I really like and I think it's coming together however I still have a lot more practicing before I get some style(s) I really like.

Mortifer

This poor guy is experiencing puberty (What's happening to my body?!)

Dance floor

I just had our weekly dance party that we hold at my house every Wenesday night. Fresh from dancing for an hour I wondered what it would be like to draw a comic strip with different poses. Drawing people dancing is interesting because real life dancing is a series a different poses put together in an energetic way and simply getting a freeze frame of a pose for a drawing takes away from the dance it's self. That being said I still think this turned out all right but I may try again because I feel I can do better than this.

Wind

After I drew her, I realized that I need to include more drama or interest in these 23 minute drawings. Such bland details would work for quick sketches, but I need to better use my creativity. I'm convinced that drawing is only half the battle - The other half is concept and planning.
That being said, I don't hate it.

Necking

I like how the Vampire kind of looks like he is eyeing the Bishops neck

Adam makes me wonder

Adam's version of Wonder Woman inspired me to take a stab at her myself. When I tried that, she dodged my knife and wrapped me up with her golden rope and slapped me around. After that menagerie, I just decided to draw her.

A twig snapping

This is a true story, it happened to me a week ago.
I think it would be great if the girls I was walking with saw this comic strip and one girl talking to another said "Hey come check this out, you know how we thought we heard a twig snap last week. Well guess what it really was?"
