Han Solo

I thought Chewbacca would be happier with his good buddy Han Solo. Quick sketch from today :)

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've had terrible computer problems which should be fixed now. Here's a little Chewbacca i sketched up today.

Having fun with the brush-pen.

The Infamous

Another brush pen drawing.

Dress Ink Drawing

Here's a little brush-pen drawing I did today at lunch. It was a muggy 83 degrees but I really wanted to do some drawing outdoors. I found a nice seat in front of a window display and started sketching. Brush-pens are amazingly versatile and quite fun to use.

Ladies

Some black and white drawings.

Cannibal Chief

Here's my latest editorial illustration. It's about a cannibal chief who is visited in the night by a glowing being. It's good timing since Halloween is tomorrow and I got to paint some skulls.

Have a great day and don't eat too much candy!

Brothers in Faith

I recently completed an editorial illustration about a Rwandan boy who has come home to find only ashes and death after soldiers ransacked his village.

I submitted 3 sketches to the Art Director for review.


I decided to change the values of the chosen sketch to strengthen the silhouette of the boy against the background. I then did about a dozen color studies to find the mood I was searching for. I wanted a melancholy feel, something that felt uneasy since the boy actually finds bones in the story. If you look at the shapes of the clouds in the background and the shapes on the boys shirt you'll find a hidden image that subconsciously tells the story.

Curly Tail Lizard

There's a lot of these little guys running around here in Florida. They just hang out sunning on the concrete. They are quite brave and sometimes attack unsuspecting victims.

Clunky the Rusty Robot

You gotta love robots! As long as they don't turn on you and try to take over the world. This little guy I created is as harmless as a cute nanobot :P

Superman

Update: Worked a little bit on my superman sketch.
