Quick Update: Flowers

During my lunch break, I did a quick speedpainting of a flower arrangement on my desk. Took about 45 minutes, slowly practicing to get faster!

Updates and Teapottery

Sorry for another delayed post. I've been doing a lot of figure sketches, gesture sketches and the like. I'm really trying to strengthen my foundations and reapply that to my skills as an illustrator. Constant challenge. Just as a note, even though I haven't been posting everyday, I'm still drawing everyday.

Here's some older sketches I've done for work based on the Alice in Wonderland theme. I created a set of teapots for the Mad Tea Party set and I really enjoyed drawing these.

Zoo Day

So I went to the zoo on Sunday! Went with people at work and just started to sketch like mad. First time I've ever done a sketchdump at the zoo so it was a really good experience. I'm not that great at drawing animals, but I'm gonna keep practicing. So I posted some scans of my sketches: There's a flamingo set, penguin set, and bear set! The flamingos were really fun to draw since they didn't really move much but they have a lot of personality. Penguins were the same as the flamingos. Bears on the other hand....not so good at bears, one of turned out looking like Winnie the Pooh* so I slapped a shirt on him. Check out my Alternate Beast* in the top right corner. Fearsome, huh?


*Disclaimer: I do not own rights to these names, characters, or anything related to them period. Leave me the hell alone.

Watercolor Attempt #1

So this is my first attempt at a watercolor pencil painting/drawing. Nothing really cohesive, just random explorations. I wanted to get more comfortable with the medium. So far, it's pretty interesting to use...I'm going to try the palette technique next so the look will come out a bit differently.
