Character Designs for Class

Just a couple of character designs for Color and Story.

Layout for Sketching for Entertainment

My first try at a rough layout. Looking to do better on the next one!

Cafe Sketches

So I really like the idea of sketching people in cafes and restaurants on napkins.  Problem is that the napkins can be frustrating to draw on.  So back to the sketchbook I went.  These were done on a napkin and then I went home and did them digitally.  Just quick and fun.  My 4th term has been underway and I have been too busy to post anything new.  I promise to post more soon.  I am taking some really amazing classes this term and the instructors are all great.  So I am really excited to see how much I learn this term!

Creatures...

Just a sketchbook page I did the other day.  I have a class this next term that requires us to create fictional animals based off existing anatomy of real animals.  Should be fun!

Napkins?

So I made a deal with myself that every time I go out to eat I'll do a little sketch on a napkin on the restaurant that I'm at.  This is my first and I used a really crappy pen.  So from now on I'll come more prepared.  The dog was actually sitting in a minivan across the street from the cafe while the owner was inside.

Summer Term - Sketching for Illustration

These are from Bob Kato's Sketching for Illustration class.  Easily one of the best classes I've had at Art Center.  It was a lot of work, but well worth it.  I only included a few from the class, one of which is a master copy of a Sargent painting.

Summer term - Inventive Drawing

I'm finally posting some work from the summer term.  Here are a few from a class taught by Will Weston called Inventive Drawing.

So much work...

I've been really busy this term.  I've had Bob Kato and Will Weston and haven't had time to post anything new.  So I promise at the end of term I will.  For the meantime here is a quick sketch for Will's class.

Sneak Peak

Just a quick sketch and a sneak peek at an illustration that I'm working on. Trying to do 1 a day!

Excited about a new idea...

I'm really excited about a new technique I'm developing for creating illustrations both analog and digital. I'm hoping it'll work out the way I think it will. Here's a quick sketch of a character I'm going to test it out on. I'll post the results soon.
