Gorillas and Tigers and Polar Bears Oh My...

Just some simple sketches I did one day. I think the Polar Bears are my favorite, but thats just me. Which are your favorite?

"Where Have All The Cowboys Gone...."

Thank you Paula Cole, for that lovely introduction. I know I'm on a role, because 3rd post this week! Yeah boy! So, again more sketch, this time focused on some hard workin' cattle folk. I don't know if it was growing up in Oklahoma, or Montana, but I think cowboys are awesome, and should be drawn more often. And trust me when I say, I'm totally going to draw more cowboys... maybe soon?

Landscapes

What? Another post... in the same week?!? Crazy-ness I know. But I've had some time to go through my computer files, and found somethings I had done, but never posted. So here are just some quick landscapes, you know nothing fancy. I wish I could say I did them from life, but that's only sort of true. They are from pictures I took. So yes, I saw them in person, documented the occasion, then did some drawings in Prisma. Enjoy

Figures

So recently, I've decided to take up Disney's Consumer Products free figure drawing class.  Unfortunately, it's only Friday during lunch, and always a costumed model, but I shouldn't complain (it is free after all).  It's been good though, trying to get back into the groove.  Ignore all the males faces, because something just wasn't clicking that day.  I'm not saying these are amazing, but at least I'm trying, and that's all that really matters right?

Introducing....

Ami!  First off, what do you think of the names? I really like Ami, but not sure how I feel about Travis. Suggestions? Anyway, slowly but surely, the family is coming together.  I have a pretty clear idea where I want to take the parents, but you know how things can change.  But can you feel the conflict? Delicious!

Turn Arounds

While looking at my concept portfolio, I realized that most of the things in there are "one shots", a basic study, emotions, or maybe just one environment.  I hardly ever flesh out the worlds, with multiple pieces relating to one project, and giving the viewer a sense of mood and what the story is.  I'm working on that though, and I'm starting with the gamer from a few posts back.  I'm going to do more characters/ family member designs, plus some environments and maybe a few props.  Check back to see my progress.

Tree House Revisited

I was looking at my portfolio the other day, and felt like I needed more environments.  Not that this is really an environment, more of a design. Anyway, another realisation is that I need to flesh out pieces in my portfolio.  I have so many things that are just one shots, and not a lot of exploring every aspect of a project, from environments to turn-a-rounds and expressions to prop designs. Well, hopefully I'll have more time to round out some ideas I have.   Tell me what you think.
