More Painting Practice

2011-08-11T15:09:00.000-07:00

I am really trying to learn how to paint again. I've gotten so comfortable with line drawings and comic style work that I am having a hard time getting back into the groove of painting. Anyway here is more of what I have been doing these last few days. Not my best work but that is why it's called practice. More to come.

I have one more Spiderman script I might try and get in there as well if I have time.

I've been going through the listings and have put aside to piles of books, magazines and comics along with dvds games and other things that I have that I think the soldiers overseas would appreciate more than me.

I usually don't post this kind of stuff or really even do this kind of stuff but I feel like I should help in anyway I can. They do so much for us it's time I do something for them.

Friend Portrait: Maximum Portrait

Friend Portraits

2010-06-04T01:14:00.001-07:00

So I want to try and keep working my artistic muscles everyday so I've decided to try and do at least one portrait a day everyday. I thought of this idea while I was on facebook so I chose the first two people who had either commented me or posted something on the front page. These were the two lucky ones.

I actually really enjoyed drawing these and think they came out well. Expect more portraits soon!

Wolverine Sketch

2010-06-01T23:15:00.000-07:00

Just a quick Wolverine sketch I did in my fake moleskin book. :D

Dreamers Of Darkness Cards

2010-05-31T13:57:00.001-07:00

Finished the set last week and really liked the way they came out. Since these are all horror themed cards I wanted to give them the oldschool horror movie style so I did them all in grayscale with a dash of red for some. The first two are by far my favorites. The first being the Elephant man. I don't know why but I just really really like the way it came out. The second is the Jersey (shore) Devil. I was raggin on my brother last week for making me sit through I don't know how many episodes of that show cause it's so outrageous. Then a few days later when I saw that I had to draw the Jersey Devil I immediately thought of those juiced up guidos haha. So that is how that happened.

Anyway I hope you all enjoy this set as much as I do and if you are interested in getting this set when its out check out sadlittles.com If you are interested in a personal commission then email me facebook me, note, twitter, myspace, ANYTHING! I'll be more than happy to create something for you!

Keep those pencils movin'!
