"Put the Teddy Bear Back in the Box."

Nick Cage from Con Air.

Illu, Doodles, and A Link.

Wow, I didn't realize it's been so long since I last posted!

Here is a little freelance thingy I did for Jorden Magazine.

Gouache and color pencils on Canson Mi-Tinte paper. It's a lot more vibrant in person and I love it.

A couple of doodles:




Also it's been a while since I posted artist links, so here we go. Kyle T. Webster has a blog, The Daily Figure, where he posts a figure drawing every day. The commitment is impressing, as well as the simple yet sophisticated line qualities of these figures. He gets the pose down with just a few strokes.

Yeah, totally awesome.

Animals!

We went to the Jacksonville Zoo today, and I got to sketch animals from life!






I personally enjoyed drawing the monkeys the most. Unfortunately they didn't have all the monkeys on exhibit today (like chimps), but oh well. It was still a great time.

Amelie

Audrey Tautou.
I like the one on the right WAY better.

Marvel According to Yukiko Adachi

Drawn with absolutely no reference and awful memory.

Colored It.

The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd.
I love musicals but this one was a bit too much gore for me.

I Heart Drawing Faces.

Delirious doodling at the Charlotte airport, done while sipping on coffee (I NEVER DRINK COFFEE).


Amanda Bynes in Sydney White.


Some quick faces at a Drink & Draw last night.

Jonas Brothers

Nick, Joe and Kevin.

Drawn on a paper napkin at a pizza place, no reference.

It's been a while since I've done a full-finished caricature... I may do these guys to add to my Disney series (currently consisting of Zefron and Miley.)

Two Boys.

Couple more new pieces:


Gouache on wood, with subtle scanned textures added in Photoshop.


Ink dyes on illustration board, scanned textures added in Photoshop.

I've always preferred working on traditional media over digital but I really enjoy utilizing digital tools to enhance non-digital things.
The forgivingness and the range of possible experimentations of Photoshop is just as good as the unpredictability of traditional media.
