Speed Walker

Saw this guy speed walking down the street this morning while waiting at a stop light and figured I need to sketch this guy down in my book.

Coochicoo

Was watching last night How to Train your Dragon...such a cool  movie. After the movie was in the mood to sketch up my take on Hiccup and a lil newbie Dragon. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Through the Years

Hi everyone! Is everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving next week ready?? I know I'm not. Time fly's when your having fun. Sorry for the cropped scan but here's a sketch of a character called Kidd Bonzai. It was created by a good friend and super talented guy Derek Fridolfs. This character has been through so many changes over the years that I thought it was time to do another sketch of him. I also placed at the bottom some drawings of what he's looked like over the past 8 years.

The first image from 2002 was a double spread cover for the actual comic that was going to be put out by APcomics. Unfortunately it eventually never saw the light of day and ever since has been in Limbo.  So technically this was Kidds first official look and as you can tell over the years I tried different designs. You can also see how the more we draw the better we get and learn from our mistakes. Heck maybe next week or in months I'll look at the new drawing and say Yuck!! What was I thinking. This drawing sucks! Lol. As artists we are always the hardest on ourselves. Maybe once I find the disk that held a lot of the pages for the book I'll post them up here.

Too good to pass up.

Hi everyone. Here's a couple of sketches of people I seen today and yesteday on the street that were just to cooky to pass up and not sketch them out. I've really learned my lesson on always keeping a pocket sketchbook wherever I go. You just never know who you might see. The 2nd sketch was a lady who I seen crossing the street and she had her jacket over her head and pulling it down so her hair would not blow in the wind. Was funny watching her cross the street walking all cool. Ha!

Tri-Klops

Hey Everyone! Wanted to post a couple of sketches of a character from the He-man cartoons called Tri-klops. I was asked by a great artist Zane Yarbough.  if I would like to join in  on a weekly challenge for a fun blog that just started up. http://bobafettdayweek.blogspot.com/ Check it out,  there are some very talented artists there.I had a blast sketching up this character for the first time. Also if your not familiar with Zane's work you should stop by his blog  and take a look at some fantastic work that he posts up. http://www.artofzane.com/

Raggedy Ann and Andy.

Seen a photo online of this classic doll and figured why not put my spin on her.

Random Thursday.

Thought I'd post today some Random sketches from my sketchbook. Can't believe Sept. is almost gone. Time is just passing to fast.

Rhaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!!!

Of late I haven't drawn much Superhero stuff (and I'm a comic artist by profession....so go figure on that..ha!) so was just sketching out my take of Spiderman's evil enemy  the Rhino, but thought something was missing so sketched up a little girl and pasted her in with the Rhino drawing. Now we know the one thing that can scare a big lug like him. Rhaaaaaaaaarrr!

Naked Trees and Misc Comps

Happy Monday!! Thought today I kinda do something different and sketch up some old trees that really have no leafs and pretty much down right weird looking. Wanted to play with shapes and didn't care in the end what it looked like. Oh sorry about the writing underneath the tree sketches. I usually just jot down what pencil I used for that particular sketch just in case I prefer a certain look or feel of that particular tool. Also thought I throw up a few comp. drawings. Looking at these over again I know I could and should be pushing this even more. The joy or being an artist and learning as we go.

Heady Friday

Hi Everyone or Hi! to the one person that may be still following me. I know that I've been MIA for quite sometime now. So it's a long story but at least I'm back and able to post some doodles and drawings again. Here's a few drawings that I did this week. Nothing special just a few heads. Last one is of The Vulture from the Spiderman Comics...just had a itch to sketch him out. Hope everyone is doing well!
