Lunch Sketch

Character sketching.

Something new sort of... Just a character shape warm up. I find it hard to just leave a line drawing alone without adding some kind of texture somewhere, I just find it empty without a bit of grit. It can be a bit much sometimes, but I dunno....

Sketchin around.

Exploring different looks!

Toys R Us, on Motionagrapher!

From Motionagrapher, Director Nicholas Weigel from Laika is interviewed about the look and development of these recent Toys R Us commercials. My credits were Lead Concept Artist and Matte Painter. Check it out.

A good amount of my vehicle designs are in that interview. I will find some time to put up a lot more here. :)

Old lady and her Horse.

I did this one pretty fast (15min), didn't really get the right anatomy details on the horse...my bad.

What are you doing?!!

End of day doodle!

Check it.

color study process.

So I've never done any process paintings but decided to do this more for myself to figure stuff out. I need to learn more about color and lighting and rendering. I grabbed a photo which was from (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sabroadbank/3366596538/). I did a cartoony girl drawing first nothing to fancy. Then I went into photoshop and simply color sampled straight from the photo and applied the colors to the drawing. This was all a learning tool for myself to help see exactly what was happening to the colors according to where the light was and colors according to the different areas of the face.

The end image I added blur and a couple adjustment layers...curves for contrast and hue/saturation for punching colors out. I also kept the lines in because I was really focused on color.

...need to learn more. I could tell you what I was thinking during this process but I am currently to lazy to type it all out. maybe later.

This blog is dusty!

This isn't much at all, but I felt bad for not posting in such a long time.

Playing around.

just going through some ps brushes I haven't used in awhile. hope yall like it.

Bumpy Edge Line Brushes PS

I've been asked by a couple people about some of the bumpy edge lines (pen and ink type lines) I've messed around with in photoshop. I have a download link of some of the brushes I've messed around with the most. Feel free to adjust the brush settings to your needs...

Feel free to comment here and tell me what you think, what works and what doesn't work. It would be cool to see a link to a drawing you made with the brushes. ENJOY

DOWNLOAD .ABR HERE
(I saved this brush set in Adobe Photoshop CS5, It should work fine in CS4, and CS3...tell me if it doesn't)

Batman!

So I never do super heros but was inspired yesterday. this is a quick sketch and paint of Batman. I didn't really clean up the drawing or the painting really, just kept everything pretty loose and just tried to make it dirty and gritty. I think it worked out.

Couple quick faces.

Inspired.

Not super exciting, super rough and fast sketch. Inspired by a photo I saw while surfing the interWEBS.

Walk Cycle.

A walk cycle done in Flash and After Effects. I could tweak it more, but I really just wanted to get something out and see how it looked. It was fun.

Space Girl!

My space girl illustration. I threw in a bit of a halftone effect, you get a better idea with the close up image.
