Just something I did on the ipad with procreate. I know, I’ve been absent, I am sorry. Forgive me?

Can’t sleep, ended up doing a quick doodle on the iPad again. Definitely starting to get the hang of actually drawing on the tablet rather than my wacom and looking at the screen. Kind of inspired by Mucha and then the hair doodle I did a while back. I had a whole theme I was thinking of doing, probably still will do. Messing with patterns too for giggles.

Been working on freelance stuff all day but found some time to just doodle and take a break after tweaking some projects. Headed back into the grind in a bit after I take a shower.

I went a little bit more realistic this time around too. Felt like I needed to do something more solid and less stylized than usual. Maybe it’s my mood. No surprise that it’s a night scene again, haha. Oh, and I also did this on my friend’s iPad. :)

EDIT: Click on the image to see it in a lot better and in higher quality. Tumblr ate up the lines for the smaller image.

Trying something different after watching some painting tutorials earlier in the evening. It isn’t finished at all, but mostly just the pre sketch etc. Just testing things out as usual. I know, I like to tinker.

Biotic Kitty! Just a random doodle to pass the time and warm up. I may end up fleshing this out more later. For now though, it’ll be rough goodies.

Warm up/flyer I was just roughing out and thinking about sticking around places downtown and in coffee shops.

A small commission I did a while back, I’ve had it done but forgot to post it up on here for you all to see. He’s an angry little gnome.

Made this with my friend’s iPad while I was sick with a fever. It’s just a sketch using another silhouette. I’m pretty sure these are being influenced by the ipad doodle by @m0_ni a while back. You should check him out here. Otherwise, I’m getting back to work.

More posts are likely since I’ve realized I forgot to post up some things I’ve finished. But I think I’ll make you wait a couple hours before the next one. ;)

Finally done! I had to kind of repaint all the edges since I had to blow it up for a larger print size. Since it originally wasn’t that large. Haha But it was worth it. I hope you all enjoy it!

Also, good news! That portfolio…yep, it’ll be here soon. :)

Quick sketch, working with silhouettes and simple shapes along with a limited palette. Almost done with the aardeater illustration, which will be up soon. I’m repainting parts since I think they fuzzed out a bit when I was working on other parts.

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 21:12:00 -0500

Revamped the pie sketch into an actual illustration, which was the original intention but @m0_ni definitely helped push it further. So shout out to him for bringing it up! I’m not sure if I like the tongue coming out, or if I want to axe it all together. I kept hiding the layer on and off trying to figure out which I liked more. I did have a lot of fun playing with the colors and lighting as usual. Now I’m off to work on more hairy pieces.

EDIT: Also, I had thought about doing a more up close shot of the anteater looming over the pie a little, but decided I wanted a larger composition. I think. I keep going back and forth between the two. Another thing I’d like to point out, is I merged the aardvark and anteater a little. I just like the bat ears on the aardvark too much.

WIP - More to come tomorrow (hopefully), I’m trying to layer in subtle hints to her as a character in the background. For now I need to go to bed, and pray that this migraine goes away. Let me know what you think, or any ideas you might have.

A warm up sketch that I did the other night, but I decided to add ants to it to make it more interesting. But not just any ants. these ants think this pie is a god. Naturally this is due to craving pie, thinking about summer picnics, and watching too much Indiana Jones. I’ve got more done on my hair illustration, but I’m hoping to do a little more work on it tonight before I post it a second time. The background is about a quarter done on it.

For now, enjoy my obsession with pie. :)

This isn’t finished by any means, but I’m working on it and still have the background left to do. Her coloring will likely change as well to accomodate the background colors. I see her with a LOT of hair brushes. I’ve also been trying to find how I want my style to evolve and testing things out. Also adding imperfections to my people to make them feel real, and relatable. Since obviously no one is perfect. In the mean time let me know what you think?

GASP! Is that an analog sketch I see? I just joined a Flickr group created by Wardomatic on Twitter about 30 minutes ago. It’s going to be a sketch group that everyone can post a response to a given topic. For my own sketches I plan to try to do them analog since I need to get back into that, and limit my time frame to 30 mins to each.

If you’d like to join head on over here!

I don’t remember who asked me to do this for fun, I know it was someone on Twitter. (If you’re reading this and it was you let me know here or on Twitter) But you asked me a while back and I never got around to it, but I was thinking about it randomly today so I did it. So to the person who asked for it, even if it was a joke. Here it is!

EDIT: Just so you all know, this is not the illustration I was referring to in the last post.

Surprisingly drawing a panda with a chainsaw is harder than I anticipated. Also if anyone feels like requesting me to draw something as a doodle or if there is something you’d like to see, feel free to ask! Just dont expect it to be a full out illustration. It’ll likely be a doodle. So, would you like to see something?

Just messing with things and trying to do things differently. So I decided to sketch before bed while watching Pushing Daisies and these are the only two that I feel ended up being half way decent. I think Chuck (the girl) ended up looking a lot like Kim Possible or an old Lois Lane doodle.

Also! I’m working on a illustration but it’s not finished yet. I also have not forgotten about my “Clearance” series but there are reasons I can’t post them yet. I do have a new one done, and I’ll continue to make them but the series has been publicly post poned due to some complications.
