Thaddonai

Thaddonai is a myth that we had to do an illustration about. Basically it's about this guy who likes birds and one day gives his life to try and save three bird eggs. I tried to do a drawing of this guy in his element, in the happier days of his life.

 First with just traditional materials

And then with a little bit of Photoshop failure. I've never really been a fan of photoshop stuff, but I'm trying to force myself to expand my territory a bit. Slow steps, but eventually I'll get somewhere.

A glimpse of the future

Here's a peek at the types of drawings that will be in my sketchbooks going forward. I was on a huuuge drawing kick today so I got a good deal of things done.

Finished Sketchbook

Perspective's crappppppppyyyy but I like what it could've been the face is okay.

Skratchdump from this week

The coolest thing I've done so far?

No clue really. I had an idea that played around with in thumbnails and then I went for it on a new tan tone sketchbook and I like it. I think this could be the coolest drawing I've ever done to date.

Pen Skratches

I'm kinda in a bit of a funk. It's never anything serious, but I'm affected nonetheless. I'm drawing my way through it as usual.

1 hour ink sketch

I did this in one hour with my brush and a vivid image of how James Harren tends to ink in my head. I really like his work and right now it kinda looks like I'm biting it wayyyy too hard. Still I like this drawing and I'm learning to have fun with the brush, so it's not all bad.

Last Two Pages of my sketchbook!!

On to the next one after a few words of encouragement.

Few New Skratches

Just a couple pages from this week none too fancy just yet.

 Warm up for ink project I have due Tuesday

Playing around with rendering a bit

Playing around with Gouache and ball point. My next personal sketchbook will focus on mixed media like this and below are two pages of 30 second gestures

MASSIVE DUMP

Had two weeks on, averaged around 2.5 pages everyday. Pretty happy with that level of productivity, but no that I'm back in school, I'm planning to push those numbers and push the quality of my sketches as well as put a LOT more finished work on the table.

^I was drawing with my friend Dan, he drew everything that's upside down.

Looking at James Jean's sketchwork a lot

This comic is about the flight from PHL to LAX.

Playing with a new brush.

Above and Below are from two different museums, one of WWII aviation and the other a collection of Earth Art. Both had design elements and shapes that I want study further.

This is a very strange piece. I don't know what was going on haha I just wanted to draw something outrageous and I think I succeeded a bit.

In the Bottom Left Corner was a Russian Girl who I was only able to capture in her right eye. That is what her eye looked like, but I didn't get a chance to finish it because her and her family had to catch their flight. I enjoyed listening to them talk even though I couldn't follow the conversation very well.

Hodge Podge of stuff the creature in the center is kind cool and the brush thing in the corner I want to expand on.
