Life Drawing and Caricatures

I think this lady used to model for Boris Vallejo, the fantasy illustrator.



In between poses, or when I start to get bored, I like to caricature other people in the room. Life drawing sessions are a great place to draw other artists.

Look what I made at work today!

Today, a dad asked me to draw his four children over a dinner table about to eat a meal made by their mom. This is a surprise Mother's Day present and he gave me lots of reference pictures of his kids to draw from. This was a bit of a challenge from what I normally do at work, and it took me a while to do, but I like the way it came out. The painting on the knife and turkey were happy accidents; I really wasn't sure what I was doing at the time.
I know I haven't posted in a very long time, but I will be back with more stuff soon! Thanks to all my imaginary fans!

New Sketchbook

I am liking this sketchbook so far, so I'm going to post everything I've got!







I've been drawing a lot from Fred Moore because he's one of my favorite animators of all time and I love his pin-up sketches. You can find a bunch of his work HERE!

Old Sketchbook

Time to retire an old sketchbook. I'll share a couple more pages from it before I throw it in the pile.

Here is a drawing of Magoo drawing. People have interesting expressions when they draw. To the right of Magoo are some fat-necked dudes and a mean-looking lady.

More watercolor studies. I'm finding my colors come out cooler in temperature on the cheap Xerox paper in my sketchbook. But it's still a lot of fun to do, so I won't let that stop me. :)

Happy Halloween


Here's a special treat just for you, imaginary fans! A little Halloween animation in Flash.
EDIT: This video is not playing right. I'll put up a version that works one of these days...

Now with COLOR!




I know I don't have much work in color here; mostly because I'm a sissy. But lately I've been playing with watercolors in my sketchbook at work. Here's what I've done so far.

Co-Workatures






Here are some examples of the quick sketches I do for proms and parties. My models are my co-workers at Disneyland/California Adventure and, of course, my beautiful girlfriend Marie.
