Kurtis The Barbarian

A sketch I drew of someone I work with. It has a few exagerations, but a successful likeness I think.

Meet The Twins

Here is a sketch I did a few weeks ago. The sketches always seem to lose something when they are scanned in. Maybe its the scanner, maybe I dont know what I am doing, anyway here are the twins.

Mermaid

I did this for a contest recently. I didn't win but then the idea wasn't very original. Till next time.

No Name

Baggy Outfit

Old Benaiah

A pic of the Old Benaiah.

Barbarian

Just playing around.

Couple Sketches

Here are a couple sketches I did while working through the "Snowy Day" script. Editing is such a pain, but I would rather work through the details of it now, than get half way into it and find out I should have done it a different way. Gotta get back at it, see ya.

Frank The Profiteer

This is Frank. He is not really a mobster but in a galaxy full of thieves, he is sometimes forces to do things he doesn't want to do, for the sake of keeping his business running of coarse.  I came up with the concept years ago. I just recently reworked the sketch trying to work out some details.

Frustrated

During periods of frustration I doodle around, drawing for pleasure and experimental purposes. This is one such doodle. I may elaborate on some of the ideas at a later time, but for now I think I will move on to the things that I have to get done. There will be plenty of drawings to vent my frustration on in days to come.

Another Concept Sketch

Another concept sketch. enjoy. I am busy writing the short story I mentioned in a previous post and working on the concept sketches for Benaiah. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an abundance of archaeological evidence for this particular time period or people group. I should have checked that first. Oh well, the search is on.

No Title

Scribbles

Just a few scribbles. No deliberate lines.

Young Dragon Mother

Playing around with dragon concepts.

Double Sword Lady

This drawing actually started from the pose in "the stump" picture. I just manipulated the figure to stand instead of sit. Her arm is a little stiff. I should have relaxed it a little more.

I didn't finish it because I had already learned what I needed from the drawing. So now, it is on to the next drawing.

Not So Negative

The not so negative side.

Negative

Just playing around in the negative.

Final Hero Design

I decided to simplify the hero for my school assignment. Sketched this out in about five mininutes. His name is masked man. I know, not too creative, but definitely functional for the assignment. Now I have to do the assignment. Gotta go to work.

Pose

Just doodling.

Mickey The Pirate

I needed a hero for a school assignment, so I came up with this. Maybe I can pass him off as a hero!

Benaiah

I created this character for a short story that should be finished within the next month. I will try to post a preview page this month for a sneak peek at my budding story telling ability. Hope you like it.

Small Concept Sketch

This is a small concept sketch. It is kind of like a detailed doodle. It helps me record an idea so I don't lose it.

Urick

Re-Urick sketch. Still not there. Must........... Keep.................. Working............. On ............... It.

Brain Shower

Here is a couple of rough sketches. I was kinda brainstorming some ideas.

Nehemiah Throttlemire

This is a sketch from about a year ago. I hope I have improved a little since then, but some days feel like I know nothing about drawing at all. Like anything else, good days and bad days go with the territory. I actually like the bad days. Those are the days that I see my weakest areas. If I'm struggling with a particular pose, facial espression, or even background detail, it means I don't know how to do it. I will either have to get reference material, find someone who can show me, or give up. Giving up isn't even an option, so I have to find a way to make it happen. By doing so, I begin to understand how to draw the form. I will then repeat the drawing, each one better than the last.

I have have started my first course with Joe Kubert's World of Cartooning. I can already see lots of room for improvement. I will keep bangin away at it until I get it. I once heard someone say, "you go through about ten thousand drawings to get to a master piece." I must be getting closer to that master piece. It feels like I've done ten thousand drawings in the last few months. Until next time.

Half Elf Chick 2

I was playing around with line work here. I started with a rough sketch with a dull tip pencil. Then rolled a kneaded eraser over it to lighten it even more. After that, I sharpened my pencil and drew only the lines. I didn't do any value rendering on purpose. I think it turned out OK. Later.

It has been acouple of weeks since I posted. I have been out of town working on some personal business. Here, in this sketch, I thought I would try my hand at a half elf chick. She still needs some work, but I have to move on for now. I have assignments to finish. Until next time.
