Being that I’ve had the topic of perspective on the brain lately I decided to do another perspective drawing tonight. It’s an image from the film “The Shining”. All seemed to be going pretty well until I decided to start on the carpet design. If you’ve seen “The Shining” you know the carpet. At […]
Today wasn’t the best day. Anyways, this evening I didn’t feel much like challenging myself so I decided to take it easy and just draw couple of cartoon dudes. I tried to make them a little ugly, a little distorted. One guy looks like an overweight, evil mastermind and the other guy looks like an […]
So, this evening I didn’t get home from the work until pretty late. I got home just in time to catch Jenny and June, whose very sick at the moment, cuddling up under the covers about to fall asleep. I laid down next to them for a little bit and before I got up I […]
I was on a shoot all day today and there was quite a bit of downtime. During part of that, I decided to try and work out that carpet pattern that gave me so much trouble a few days ago. I figured it out by drawing a grid and planning out how the pattern should […]
Danger 5 is one of my favorite shows ever. I’m surprised it took me this long to decide to draw a frame from it. This is Colonel Chestbridge. He’s about to get straight to the biscuits. If you haven’t ever seen it before I thoroughly recommend you check it out.
Tonight was the art walk in Fullerton so I was out pretty late before starting my drawing. As I walked home, I suddenly thought about the Tardigrade. They’re microscopic creatures known for their indestructibility. Also known as “Water Bears” I am to believe that they’re so impervious to damage that after the planet explodes and […]
I’m pretty surprised by my drawing this evening. I never expected this would be the drawing for tonight. I invited some friends over to watch “Samsara” in my backyard again. My friends Jeff and Wendy couldn’t make it over the last time I showed the film in the backyard so tonight I decided to screen […]
Even though this drawing doesn’t look like much I spent quite a long time working on it. Lot’s of erasing and redrawing. I wanted to do a body position that had a lot of foreshortening happening. I used this great iPhone app called “Pose Tool” in order to create the position and angle. It’s a […]
I got a busy couple of weeks ahead of me. Tonight, I am working on something for a job at the office so I had to take a break from that to do this drawing. I decided to keep it simple tonight, since I didn’t have very much time, and practiced drawing hands. The hand […]
I’m a little low on sleep tonight and need to wake up early tomorrow. So, I decided to do a bit more practice in foreshortening. I found the high angle a much tougher challenge than the low angle.
Tonight, I was thinking about how some of the coolest looking characters in comic books are the really bulky and muscular ones. So, I decided to draw one of those types of characters myself. And look, he’s struggling to open a jar. Hilarious. Anyways, once I had gotten the pencil drawing looking kinda good, I […]
Tonight, I barely had any time to get a drawing done. I have a shoot tomorrow early in the morning and a lot of pieces have to come together for everything to go well. And I’m still working on all those pieces. In fact after I finish posting this I will move directly onto working […]
I am quite tired this evening. I got 2 hours of sleep last night and when I put June to bed tonight it was all too easy to fall asleep. I had a great shoot today though. I got to work with Terry Crews who was ridiculously awesome. I found out that he is actually […]
Today was a nice saturday off. I was looking forward to drawing all day. Unfortunately, by the time June was in bed and I could finally begin drawing I found myself stuck trying to find a bit of inspiration. It’s a problem that I’m going to have to figure out soon. I think I need […]
So I totally over-painted this one. I’m kind of bummed about it too because the actual drawing came together pretty well. Earlier in the day, I mentioned that I wasn’t sure what I should draw and then June suddenly said, “I know what you should draw.” “What’s that?” I asked. “A Ballerina.” She said it […]
Just as Jenny was off to bed we talked about what I should draw. For some reason I had the urge to draw some 1940’s factory worker. I figured I could find a good body position like a guy putting all his weight into turning a gasket with a wrench or something. I google image […]
Today marked the end of what was a very busy stint of shooting over the past couple of weeks. And now begins the editing process… Today I was privileged enough to get to fly up to Pixar in Emeryville for a shoot. It was a pretty hectic day. Like every trip to Pixar, I […]
I probably spent a bit too much time on this drawing because I had planned on doing a bit of work late this evening. I have a pretty tight schedule for this rough cut that I am cutting at work. I will most likely be working at the office very late tomorrow evening because I […]
So I was still thinking about that soft shading style that I found so cool from the Steve Pilcher pencil drawings from a couple days ago but this afternoon I came across another artists who I think is perhaps even more amazing at rendering in black and white. And not to mention, his style is […]
Today, on a break, I made a quick trip to the art supply store and I picked up some charcoal pencils. Tonight I wanted to give them a try. I haven’t used charcoal for quite a while. I did take a figure drawing class back in college which taught me how to use charcoal but […]
I got a pretty late start on this one tonight and I had to call it before I really wanted to. I got caught up watching Christopher Waltz on SNL with friends. It was a really good one. Anyways, tonight I continued to practice with the old-timey portraits. This time I tried to exaggerate some […]
I’m surprised I decided to draw this picture today because it’s a sunday and I’m at work. I didn’t want to take on anything too challenging since I’m working here late. Nevertheless, I needed a break from the cutting. I went into this one thinking I was just going to draw a realistic eye. So […]
I was pretty dazed all day today because I spent the night at my office and I didn’t really get too much sleep. I fell asleep with June tonight when I put her to bed and I was a little worried that I would wake up in the morning without getting my drawing done. So, […]
This drawing was the result of a disastrous mistake that happened while I was drawing it. I never meant to draw this picture. In the end, I kind of like the frenetic look of it. I started out drawing a character from the film “The Hudsucker Proxy”. If you remember the film, it was […]
Barely any time today for my drawing. I’m heading up north this weekend for Junes 4th birthday and so I have to take care of some stuff to be prepared to leave on friday. So, I am actually posting this at 2am from my office. I started this drawing at about 1am I would bet […]
