Learning...

Here are some warm-up sketches of the Avatar: The Last Airbender characters. I'm still pretty far off-model, but I think I'm improving.

New-ish Stuff

These are some sketches I made based on a character that my friend Adolph created. The design is not finalized, but I like where it's going.

The last image is of some thumbnails from the middle of the story. I've thumbed out the whole story, but I'm intimidated by the thought of doing finished storyboards. There's still so much for me to learn about drawing and boarding! It's exciting and scary at the same time.

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...
