Wedding Invitation Sketches

 

Working on an off-beat wedding invitation. Here's a compilation of some of the sketches involved.

Oodles of Doodles

I filled up another sketch book recently and thought I would show off a some of the funner ones. Enjoy!

Daily Doodle - Dragons

Someone on MTG Salvation suggested I create a humorous cartoony dragon as a future project. One of the aspects I really enjoy about cartooning and illustration is exploring the different options available within the subject matter when I'm starting out. So here are a few initial sketches along those lines.

Daily Doodle - Character Sketch

Here's another Daily Doodle. Another character design for a comic story I'm developing. Worked on it while watching/listening to Otis Frampton's ArtCast on Ustream.

Daily Doodle

Yet another daily doodle. Character study for a comic I'm brainstorming for at this point. Writing is really challenging! Its really hard to bring something "new" to the table when so much has already been done and redone. I'm trying really hard to keep the story simple and easy to follow so that my four year old nephew can follow along while still being something grown ups can enjoy and get something out of as well.

Daily Doodle

Here's another daily doodle sketch. Gonna ink & color this over the next day or so. I'm getting much more comfortable drawing directly in Photoshop. This piece is approximately 4.5 inches squared at 300dpi. The brush I use in Photoshop is a 3px brush with the Smoothing engaged as well as the Opacity and Flow Jitters set to pen pressure at zero percent under the Other Dynamics section. It closely replicates the way I draw with a pencil. I use light lines and build up the ones I really like as the drawing progresses. I use the same brush, albeit a larger sizes, when coloring occasionally.

Boba Fett Finished

Here's the finished piece based on my Boba Fett sketch from Star Wars Day.

May the 4th Be With You

In honor of Star Wars Day I did a sketch of Boba Fett as he appeared in the recent Clone Wars season finale on Cartoon Network. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already seen it. Season 3 of the Clone Wars can't come soon enough. I'll be finishing up this piece over the next day or two and publish the results then.

Quick Color Sketch

Here's a quick color sketch I put together today.
