tonight's sketch

live free or... umm... "Eye Hard"

tonight's sketch came from a terrible attempt at humor... yeah, i know... i'm not very funny.  It's part of my charm ;)

now with more... SUPER STEER!!!

teach a man to fish...

tonight's sketch... now i feel like some sushi.

7 straight days of doodling. They call that  a streak where i come from

space?

not really sure where this one came from, or where it was going... it just happened, i guess.
the face got a bit too muddy on this one =\

tonight's sketch... watch that first step!

and 578 days after that failed proclamation...

I've started a daily doodle assignment... draw every day for as much time as i can allot to it...

I've been using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, and i'm really loving it.  I made this brush that acts alot like a real ink brush... i'm diggin it!

here are the results of the first 4 days... (oldest to newest).  More to come!

it feels SO good to be drawing again...

1,542 days later...

I have successfully avoided/forgotten about this blog for over 4 years now. I should really do something about this.

A terrible waste of digital paper

So last night i actually had a couple minutes to sketch for once. i defaulted to the traditional Intuos 3 and photoshop, rather than something more practical like paper and a pencil. Oh well. I've been really enjoying the work of argentenian artist Carlos Nine lately... this image isn't exactly inspired by his work per se, but i like the loose and unfinished look of it for some reason. I've been looking at Nine's sketchbook Gesta Dei alot lately. it's a current fave

anyways, at least i got off my ass and updated this place again. One of these days, i may defy the odds and actually make a habbit of doing that.

Playing With Shapes

So, tonight i decided to mess around a bit with different kinds of faces. i drew a simple shape, and tried to make it in to a face. some turned out better than others, but i had fun at least. that's all for today

i love this time of year...

Here's a quick doodle of a little xmas cat-in-the-hat action




Below is a sketch i'm kinda working on right now. it's very much a work in progress... I plan on re-composing the entire background to be a bit more proportinate, and also more suiting a decent composition. this is just where i'm leaving it tonight




and this obligatory hook doodle was a test-drive of Alias Aketchbook Pro 2. It's a fun program, but i think i'm sticking with photoshop and painter for my digital doodlin


I've been really busy with work lately, so that's my excuse for the lack of posts. I'll be back soon (i hope) with an update of the Cafe drawing.

The Return of Cap'n Hook

I was in a sketching mood tonight, and thought I'd try drawing my favorite pirate again. I'm trying to draw at least an hour a night now (if I can). Anyways, here's what i came up with.



thanks for looking!

And we're off!

Alrighty... Let's do this for real this time. I think it's a good time to start a blog, and here's to hoping that i can actually keep up with it this time.

Since we're here at the start of it, why don't i post some recent doodles that i've done in my time off (what little of it there is).






I hope you like what you see enough to come back and visit again sometime.

until then...
