Swaggin Ball Z

Swaggin Ball Z vs Sunrise Kamikazes!!!!!!

There's a bboy jam in Philly every November called Rhythmic Damage that I've been fortunate enough to attend every year for the last 4 years. This is from the latest edition. We are on the right side of the screen, and we all had waay too much fun in this battle haha. We surprisingly made the top 16 out of 48 crews signed up that day, so it was kind of a milestone for us. anywho, this is the preliminary battle where the judges select who moves into the top 16. As soon as there's a better quality version of our top16 battle, I'll post that. Shout out to my crewmates and the crew we battled, fresh talent straight from Japan!!

PunchFate: How I see myself

This week's topic was to draw ourselves they we we envision ourselves. Hop on over to the page to see what everyone else looks like!!

Sketches

 ^Spray Paint ^

 ^^^These are the pages I worked stuff for my finals out in. Didn't do enough imo, but these are steps in the right direction.

One of my Finals

3 pages mixed media (copic, watercolor, bic pen, white gel pen.)  Retelling of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Very sleepy

PunchFate: Death Personified

Death Personified was this week's topic on PunchFate ^^ this is what I came up with. It's finals week, so the others in the blog haven't posted as of this post, but school's almost up so there will be an influx of work coming in from us as time goes on.

Old Sketches

Finally got the time to upload, so I'm bout to upload a bunch of stuff before I go back in the hyperbolic time chamber to train again.

playing with the copics, still amazed at the capability of the RENDR sketchbook

I love Spawn, so I need to redo this later and do the character justice

Doodles at lunch

 Deep Reshion. it hits everyone, the key is to press on.

playing with a fan brush

drew these on the 29th I think...

 some from life, dude in the center from mind lol

I was sitting on the corner of this place and drew it from another angle. came out cool ish.

Illustration homework

For class, I had to draw a scene in a cemetery. I shotgunned the whole assignment from thumbnails to finish for 7.5 hours from last night to early this morning. yay.

PunchFate!!

I'm in a blog with some other artists doin weekly posts just to keep us busy and connected. the blog is called PunchFate!! this is my submission for last week's topic which was to define what punching someone in the fate means. This is the first post on punchfate, so naturally everyone was late, but as time goes on, we'll have bigger and better posts on time and whatnot.

I've Been a Bit Busy. . .

Below are some of my latest sketches, I have TONS more to upload, most of which are at my apartment, and I still have lots of other projects to finish, I just felt that I was neglecting my blog and by extension people  who follow my blog and I don't want to let you guys down lol, so here's a little teaser. I'm hoping to be done everything that requires my utmost attention by this weekend so I can upload the rest of the junk I've been drawing. Hang in there! I'll be back to a normal uploading rate soon!!

New Sketchbook = New SketchDump

 The pen sketches on the left are pen sketches. The top two of the bike and the bench are experimenting with laying pen on copic and copic on pen. The drawing on the left is water-soluble graphite and water-soluble colored pencil. The RENDR sketchbook buckles a bit but water-based media is still somewhat usable. The paper on the eye of the creature had the top layer ripped off because it got wet and I wanted to see how far this sketchbook could go, so I tore off the top layer and colored part of it with both sharpie and copic marker. NO BLEED. this sketchbook is amazing

pen sketches except for the sketch of the girl on the bottom left and the two dude on the right and some letters. I need to draw more foliage

New Sketchbook!

I got a new sketchbook called RENDR by Crescent. It's absolutely fantastic for everything that isn't water. (granted it can do watercolor and water-soluble stuff, but you can't go super hard on it) however for inks and heavy markers like Copics, it holds and DOES NOT BLEED THROUGH. You can sit there and layer Copic on top of it for days and it WILL NOT BLEED!! I don't secretly work for them or anything, but I was skeptical about their bleedproof claim and was blown away by how correct it was. So this is the first page of this new sketchbook.

Scarecrow

I reallllllly want to do a Batman comic centering around Scarecrow. I was always into Halloween themed scary stuff so Scarecrow and Manbat were at the top of my favorite villains list as a kid. I've been toying with a story idea for this, and this is my first attempt at drawing Scarecrow. I want to get something REALLY, truly TERRIFYING for the final piece. Needless to say, I'm a long ways from that goal. But a decent start methinks.

Watercolor Pencil "EXPERIMENT ALL"

I picked up a watercolor moleskin to follow up the presentation James Gurney gave. I'm gonna be adding stuffs to this sketchbook periodically. I want to get good with my watercolor pencils.

Fun Sketches

 For the above, I was inspired by Eric Canete's recent blog posts. I wanted to try and design a character too, and only got as far as the head.

 James Gurney came to my school and did a presentation and demonstration on drawing things that don't exist. I took real notes this time.

Notes continued.

Sketch DUUUUMP

All flawed, but all mistakes have shown me how better to deal with future attempts

 Tried out a Sable Series 7 #2 for this page. Bleh. I like the brush, but I'm no good with it

 This is from a marker I'd never seen or heard of prior. I like the kinds of lines this one marker can give me

 This is that same marker.

 too thick with the lines

 expressive poses

I want to explore the muscle zipper idea for a piece

I like the long nose guy sorta.

Hulk Copic Study

Pretty Self-X just playing with layering. I need to invest in some more of these nuggets of awesome.

Intense Serenity

A doodle from dinner last weekend

My Friend

I drew my friend and changed his anatomy at his request. haha Also, he is quoting Shaun of the Dead. watch that movie if you haven't.

Class Notes

 Just Doodles from Class

New Self Portrait. Ocean Splash!

Heyyyy it's been a while since my last post, but I've had a rollercoaster of a time trying to get an apartment and trying to sort out difficulties and obstacles in my life. Nothing major, but it was enough to keep me from posting. But not from drawing. I'll be uploading more at a later date cuz I'm still swamped with stuff I want to do vs stuff I need to do vs stuff I have time to do blah blah. Lol so there'll be a sketchdump somewhere in the future as well as a few pieces.

This is what I can spare for the moment. A quick self portrait. Pretty fun. Pretty flawed. Pretty improved from my first pieces of the summer, so I'm happy for the moment.

PENCILS

INKS

COLORS

Sunday School Doodles

 I drew some kids in the class
 

And a goofy looking batman.  twas fun tho haha

Village Massacre

For one of the projects I'm working on I needed to practice drawing scenes of abject horror. Such as the one below. It's obviously not ready for prime time but it was my first try. There will be several more until I make something that is both impossible to look at or look away from. Something that is so horribly disturbing it will take me an abnormal amount of time to draw it. I'm not doing this to be gross or whatever, but you really need to feel the impact at this point of the story. The story that my friend has written delivers, but my drawings can't convey the horror and sorrow that you need to be feeling from this image. I'll get it soon tho.

Captain Marvel

Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of it when I'd finished the skin tones because I had to finish it quickly before I gave it away. Anywho, here's the pencils ...

Inks...

And Almost Finished piece...
