Well I'm not very good at keeping this thing up.
Hopefully I can put up some more recent work soon
that's better.

Finally getting around to posting some recent sketches

2008-04-27T17:01:00.000-07:00

It's been tough to find time to post on here, but hopefully in the next few days I'll have something up

2008-02-29T07:34:00.000-08:00

Been real busy lately working on a few projects, but wanted to paste some sketches. I also need to get back to trying something for Toon Weekly.

A few more sketches

2008-01-24T09:07:00.000-08:00

Just a few more quick sketches. It's almost become an addiction wanting to sketch all the time.

Quick sketch and painting

2008-01-23T09:22:00.001-08:00

Just posting a recent painting. It is acrylic and ink.

Also a quick sketch from trying out Sketchbook Pro. I really like this program.

Toon Weekly- Clown

2008-01-22T19:51:00.001-08:00

This weeks challenge was just that-- a challenge!! It's very hard to come up with something different. It feels like trying to invent the wheel.

I decided I would use a golfer. There are many golfers that could qualify as clowns by the clothes they wear. Of course this is just my opinion. My apologies to anyone who may dress this way.

Some more

Sketches and drawings

2008-01-19T07:55:00.000-08:00

Thought I would try to post a few sketches and drawings from the last few days. I'm really enjoying learning about caricature and character design. I've got a long way to go, but I look forward to drawing and learning every day. This is the first time I've really understood the significance of trying to observe and sketch everyday.

Toon Weekly: Under the sea

My weekly submission for Toon Weekly.

This wasn't one of my favorite designs, but

I learned a lot.

Toon Weekly -Rock stars

2008-01-05T11:15:00.000-08:00

This is my first drawing for Toon Weekly. The subject this week was Rock Stars. I know it's not what most would expect, but even rock stars get old eventually.

New Year, another blog

2008-01-05T10:51:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!
After deciding to take my art in a completely new direction, I decided to do it right. This year, I plan on focusing on caricature and character design. I'm sure there will be a lot of learning, but this is what I feel God has led me to do. I plan on doing whatever I can to learn this trade.
I have already bought a few books and have been visiting many sites just to look and learn. I also plan on participating in the Toon Weekly challenge. Thank you to Toon Weekly for allowing others to participate! Also, Special thanks to Keelan Parham for the time he took to explain a few things to me.
I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post, but I look forward to the coming year and any advice , encouragement, or even criticism (positive) that may be offered.
