The Stump

I'm posting twice today because I dont know if I will be able to post tomorrow. This sketch is one I just started. She is supposed to be slightly more reclined in her pose. I had gotten to far into the drawing before I realized it. As it is, she is a little stiff, but I might throw it on a light box and fix it. Or I might just move on since it isn't a paying job. Well, here she is ladies and gentlemen the "lady on the stump."

Riokin Tolf

I made his chest more narrow, which with all that fuzz on his face makes his head look big. I will have to make his chest a little wider. He is one of the leading characters so I don't want him to look like a puny human. I am not sure about the shoulder strap at this point. I think this is a good start, but incomplete. It just doesn't say "nomadic barbarian warrior" to me at this point. I think you should be able to look at the character a get some sense of background and personality. I will have to keep workin at it.

I am going to be taking some correspondence courses from Joe Kubert's school  of cartooning and animation this year. I am curious to see how it affects my drawing ability. You should be able to look at the first post until now an see some improvement. I am thirty seven years old and it has taken me this long to lay all else aside and pursue what I really want, which is to create and tell stories. It is taking alot of self discipline and determination. Until next time boys and girls.

Still working on the look for Mr. Tolf

Riokin Tolf

First sketch of Riokin Tolf. He needs a lot more rendering, but I was unsatisfied with the pose. It made him look shorter than he should be. I made the arm a little to stiff. I think I will try a simple standing pose to help define the look. You can barely see his fur loin cloth in this pic.

Gesture 3

I sketched this out about a year ago. I was playing around with muscle tone.

Quick Chick Sketch

I did this sketch pretty quick. I actually surprised myself with it. I started to dress her, but could not think of anything to put on her and I have a lot of things to get done today. This will have to do for now.

Never Going To Talk To My Wife That Way Again

I think the title says it all about this gesture drawing.
