One More Prehistoric Lady

This time she's with her pet Triceragriff.

Barbarrella

Sketch Dailies topic yesterday was 1968 cult sci-fi movie character, Barbarella.  The 60's-est thing I've ever seen.  And I love it!

Prehistoric Sabertooth Ponycorn

The Sketch Dailies topic from yesterday was #MYCOOLLITTLESHETLANDPONY.  I took some liberties and continued with my theme from the day before.

Prehistoric-ish Stuff

I decided i'm going to actually start taking pictures of what I'm sketching day to day like everyone else and avoid the inconvenience of scanning things daily.  And since I don't have a smart phone, we're going to have to do this thing sans instagram and vintage filters.  Sorry everyone...

Wisps in the Shadows

I just finished doing some digital work over this next piece in the series I've been working on.  This mix of medium is a ton of fun.

More Ink

I did a few more ink drawings this month.  Here they are.

Friends Along the Way

Whenever I sketch and draw for myself, I really enjoy that part of the process of starting with a vague story or idea that then develops into the drawing itself.  Maybe I just like creating strange and bizarre images,  but I do think it's fun to see how other people interpret what's going on in a piece.  

All I know about this one is that this girl is on some kind of grand journey and she met this guy along the way.  She's the more down-to-earth and rational one, while he, despite his intimidating appearance, is venerable and clumsy.  I'm pretty sure he has some kind of magical power though.

Rendezvous

Just did this pice this week.  An encounter between two shady characters and a mysterious envelope.  [Pen and graphite]

Inktober!

I just found out about Inktober, and I feel the need to take part.  Also, I just happened to scan a few recent ink drawings.

1x1 inch portraits.  Yes, that's George Lucas.

Ink

Here's an assignment I thought I'd post from a class I'm taking this semester called Advanced Inking Techniques.  It was a sort of fundamental shape building assignment that got us thinking about what materials and methods we prefer.  They were small studies using micron pens and quill tip pen and ink.
