Sorceress

I got around to scanning this drawing I did a while ago.  I'd never used graphite on mylar before this.  It was a little hard to control and the graphite gets real reflective on the mylar, but I guess that's what photoshop is for.  It's always a little strange using yourself as reference for these types of drawings, but we won't talk about that...

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.

Mid-Toned Sloths

I recently purchased this tiny 5.5x 8.5'' toned grey sketchbook.  Man, working on mid-toned paper is just a ton of fun.  I thought I'd christen the sketchbook with a first full page of sloths.  [Micron, Copic Marker and white gel pen.]

Rendezvous

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

More Kid Character

Added some color to this kid character for a project I'm working on.  Yes, more big-headed children.

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.
