Duncan Colors

Took Duncan - one of the early concept sketches this week - and whipped up a color layout.

Lonestar Officers

Two color layouts for a single outfit idea across three body types.

Sketch Dump 7/8 - 7/9

Went to a local cafe in Long Beach, Portfolio's last night with a few art friends and Liz.


Today drew the view looking out from my balcony window while sitting on the couch. Here's a photo for comparison.


Tonight went to Starbucks with Liz and had the foresight to bring the 4"x6" pad.

Digital Painting - 07/08/09

Concepts Abound!

Some character sketches - the kids are reiterations of older characters I had while the eye lamp/tree thingie was just for goofing around.

Digital Painting

I've been watching free vids at Digital Art Tutorials - it's been giving me a better understanding of how others work through PhotoShop for painting. The recent freelance work taught the same lessons with Illustrator. So I'm taking a real focused look at how others approach mediums in an attempt to see if there's faster approaches than those I'm used to.

Anywho, the image is the result from staying up too late, watching tutorials, and painting in CS2 for about 40 minutes.

Baby Steps in 3DS Max

Trying something new - attempting to wrap my head around 3D programs. Using 3DS Max and the tutorials at 3D Total, I whipped up this little thing. You know the phrase, " a face only a mother could love?" That's the vibe I'm feeling - this is a real early attempt and yet I'm so excited that I made something.
