"CitySlicker" (Dip pen & ink - Photoshop)

2007-12-04T17:54:00.000-08:00

I did this image at a drawing workshop with live models. Later I scanned it and worked over the city lights in photoshop and some city photos I shot that night.

Horror FIlm Poster

2007-12-02T07:08:00.000-08:00

I did this for film named "Krookslop." The I did the character design and render.

Character/Environment drawing (Flash)

2007-11-24T21:40:00.000-08:00

This is an establishing drawing I did for Watergunn Studios. The purpose of this drawing was to show the transport character in action moving a human across a swamp like area. I did this drawing in Macromedia Flash on my laptop in the back seat on a long road trip the day before Thanksgiving.

Larger Than Life (Nu-pastel)

2007-11-20T22:13:00.000-08:00

This is a giant pastel piece I did. I used six 24x36 pages of drawing paper. I had to tape the pages to my wall and stand in a chair as I drew the girl below. This image took a couple (approx 3) days to finish. The main image was done the first day - I had to go back and add subtle changes the following days. This is the largest drawing I have ever done (not including my graffiti).

This is picture of the day I went to pick the image up from the framers.

Stop Requested pt. 2 (graphite pencil)

2007-11-20T21:34:00.000-08:00

This another drawing of someone on the bus. Once again this guy had no idea I was drawing him and I had no idea when he was going to get off. That said - the focus was speed, likeness and shading. I was really pleased with this one because it really looks photographically like the guy.

Stop Requested (graphite pencil)

2007-11-20T21:26:00.000-08:00

This is a drawing of a lady on the metro bus (public transit). It took about 13-15 mins. I had fun with this one. The biggest challenge was to avoid mistakes because of the rough ride. It seemed the bus had no shocks as I penciled away at this life study. My focus here was to establish realism, volume and to do it all fast - because I had now idea when this lady was going to get off the bus. I eventually showed her the drawing at the end a got a yummy smile from her. HOO HOOOO!

It's The BigGIrl' (graphite pencil)

2007-11-20T21:19:00.000-08:00

I decided this week to start back drawing with pencil. The change is tremendous. I have been drawing with pen for some months now (as directed by my master John Mahoney). This is a sketch of a little girl that was watching television. I started out with the line then went into the shading. My main focus was to establish realism in a short time period - this took about 15 minutes.

quick sketchbook practice (Ballpoint pen - Photoshop)

2007-11-02T05:38:00.001-07:00

When l got on the bus today there was a women sitting down next to the seat where I always sit in order to have a good view of all the people that I can draw. When I sat down next to her she looked at me (as if I had the nerve to sit in her arena) then got up and sat on the other side of the bus [right across from me]

I got my sketchbook and pen out and began sketching her. She said something in spanish to a lady next to me - the lady looked at my page and looked back at her and said, "si" (yes in spanish). I guess she asked the lady next to me was I drawing her because she immediately got up and went to the back of the bus. By that time it was too late - I had already recorded her likeness. From there I began to decorate the drawing with Jewelry and facial markings...

...I had fun.

Watercolor mixing tray

This is a paint tray from my watercolors that I scanned and manipulated in photoshop. I love the color configuration that came out.

The Church (ballpoint/conte' pencil)

2007-10-17T15:42:00.000-07:00

This is an image I did of a group of men and women meeting in a church, listening to a speaker. I focused on the transition of light and dark [ the closer the subject is to the camera the darker it's shadows become - the further the lighter] to create the illusion of depth. This images was done from life.

Another sketch on the transit. I like to ride public transit and trains to draw people. It's a lot cheaper than hiring models every day.

Bus sketch - elderly man (Ball point pen)

2007-10-13T20:28:00.001-07:00

This is a sketch done Oct 12,07. My focus lately has been to establish strong likeness in a very short time. Sort of a power speed sketch. This was done on the bus.
