monochrome update

some  lighting studies with a character i've been designing for a 3D challenge on CGHub.com. over the next few days i'll post my concepts, backstory, and hopefully some 3D beginnings for more context. 

iPad study

Here's a little thing I did on the iPad with the Procreate app. It's super fancy and very capable, I highly recommend it. You can export your work into a .psd file too!

(the lack of pressure sensitivity with the iPad is a huge drawback unless you get one of those new Bluetooth styli that have those capabilities. Fancy stuff.)

WIPs forever/sketches

i have a neverending amount of stuff i start...(also i'm still alive, i'm still drawing.)

update..????

i'm not gonna lie, i've been avoiding updating this blog thing. or maybe i'm too shy. 

the following pieces are inspired by Barry Yourgrau's short story, "Night Work," published in the book Wearing Dad's Head. weird stuff galore. I feel kinda stuck--i'm not too happy with my style--it's OK, but i'm not too thrilled with it. and i overthink things like style way too much, yadda yadda... -___-

Pastures of Heaven

 

This is part of a recent project based on John Steinbeck's second book, The Pastures of Heaven. The stories in the book are set in Salinas' Corral de Tierra. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL THERE ohmygosh
(I got to talk to a local and took lots of pictures).

John Battle out to hunt  demons.

an update... finally.

wooohooooo. 

in progress, just for giggles. copypasting forever with digital artifacting:

talking animals and pointing a lot

treehauzes

sotired

(ohboyicanseesomanyerrors)

some things

(both are WIP, i suppose. definitely not done with the one directly above. definitely not done with anything. also, i can't believe i used to digitally draw/paint with a MOUSE!!! i'm definitely feeling more adept lately painting in photoshop--with my 4x5 tinytinytiny wacom graphire tablet. i'm still struggling with digitally creating linework, though. TINY OMG)

Kitchens that look like mashed potatoes all over

these are kitchens based on several Gary Soto works.

revisions and color versions will be upcoming over the weekend. WHEW~~

also, i still need a url change--but i can't think of anything yet.

la roux's elly jackson

digital painting exercise. still lots to learn~

(referenced/original photo by Cass Bird. but don't go comparing this to the original, now. tut-tut.)

draw'n duel

me and Angela Lo decided to do an hour-long art-duel. the theme was "western."

SO HERE IS MY sheriff... cowboy dude. halfway through i unplugged my laptop by accident and SHRIEKED because i forgot to save. the battery wasn't attached. so it just died. DIED.

whatta liar

I REALLY should change my blog-title's name. and url. it's so ... punny. instead of daily, it's more of like "once a month" kinda deal. or is it "once every three months"?

WIP:

i -still- can't color inside the lines

this is for an upcoming contest on DeviantArt. ("FEZ.")

I completely forgot about it and now I'm on a deadline for Friday... ;_;

(ps. i am so unbelievably out of shape--i haven't been drawing for a few days now!)

pps. the painting on the bottom one was the one i started first, and it took me longer than the picture above.funny thing is the one above took me 5 minutes. HAHA! this is not funny. i am not funny. obviously.

procrastinatin'

I'm not a big fan of daylight savings time...
especially if I have to turn the clock back.
