Sketches

Sketches from last night's session at Film Roman with the great model Toni Czechoroski.

Latest life drawings

Sorry I've been away for so long, but things are pretty hectic lately! Here are some brushpen drawings done this past week. I've really become comfortable with drawing directly in ink for a while now. I do it because you can't erase anything, so it forces you to really scrutinize what you're doing. NO Command+Z to save you...

Morning Warmups

I do sketch warmups everyday to prepare for the days work. Your work can benefit from just an hours worth of sketching just for the fun of it. Warming up your eyes, brain and arm for drawing can get your day off to a good start. I went to a gesture drawing website and set the timing to two minutes each, and a few more for the more rendered sketches. Drawn with cheap-ass ballpoint pen.

Hey Everybody, I'll be exhibiting at this year's Wondercon Anaheim 2013. I'll be selling my sketchbooks and prints. I'll be located at Artist's Alley AA-080. Join me! It'll be fun!

Weisman Museum Master studies

I was given the rare opportunity to study master American Illustrators at the incredible exhibit at the Weisman Museum at Pepperdine University. It's called " Illustrating Modern LIfe" and covers the very best of the Golden Age of Illustration. One of my life drawing students is the Professor of Art history at Pepperdine, and curator of the museum. He was extremely generous in inviting me and other artists to come into the gallery and paint from the masters. I had the greatest time EVER doing studies in watercolor and gouache. These are compositional studies of Dean Cornwell, N.C. Wyeth and Saul Tepper. You owe it to yourself to check out this show in its last week, ending on Sunday. Get down there!

Spider-Man sketch

Just a Spider-Man sketch, looking kinda spider-y.

The Incredible Hulk

I did this sketch while waiting for food in a little Moleskine sketchbook I carry around, and I liked how it turned out. Colored in Photoshop.
