Matt Zitman

He was born George Zitman. Then one day he sold a lot of mats. And so they gave him a name.
I like this one better. Matt is an artist visiting from Philly. He drew my friend Jarred as a trash can, and it was amazing.

Aaron Philby Uses Red Arrows a Little Bit

Way after the fact I noticed a weird error in my drawing

That's right. He's gonna buy it even though I accidentally lamed out on his teeth

proper pictures

Busy Times

demo sold, drawn fast
drawn of coworker, Mez, from memory
wierd, I drew her very tame but was happy with the likeness
demo not sold, wish I would have gotten that great look you see in the photo of him here. It would've been totally easy too.

drawn fairly fast. I don't like it that much, but it's nice and cartoony. I took a picture because I felt like it would solidify the frame sale. Indeed they did buy a frame. They came back later and I had to draw their cat in there too. Cat people!

Rejects: whatever

This little lady was apalled by this tame drawing. Maybe I should've filled in the teeth a little more
I think this reject was a matter of the parents wanted to have a drawing of each of their children in the same style. Beau, my manager, drew the other two and then he redrew this one.

This young lady was a little slow but really fun to talk to. The mother was a poop. I think she convinced her daughter not to like it after they walked away, cuz I think the little girl liked it, at least as much as you'd expect a little girl to.

Park Skitches

This Canadian fellow wanted to be drawn as "Sport Goofy." I had to change some of his features and would rather have drawn him.

Merry Christmas

This is a drawing I did of my wonderful family for my grandma. Dad's not in there, but he's wonderful too.

Merry Christmas, you filthy animal.

This couple as really cool. I should've and could've pushed it further.
customer quote: (sincerely shocked and offended) "Oh that just sucks. I look like that?" And then he began feeling the pudge under his chin. It was just a demo, though.
What I like most about this picture is her shirt coming up in front of her lip.
Demo. yawn. It was freezing today.

This is Chris Daily. He was my supervisor at one point. As you can see, his pants are high.

My hundred and fiftieth drawing of Nate Kapnicky

Sketch of a man named Beau and a sketch from a little while ago

This is my new supervisor. He is very hyper.

This is a sketch of a celebrity I did a little while ago. Somebody leave a comment and tell me who you think it is. If you get it wrong I'll know I got a likeness problem.

Aaron uses up his black color stick!

This is my friend Chris.

Aaron draws himself all the time! What a poo!

This is me to the extreme. My opponent is nobody, but this one girl said his face looks like a fig. Of course, his stomach looks like a bottom, and that was not intentional.

This is my little brother. Happy birthday, little brother!

Critiques Welcome

I hadn't mentioned this before, but I'm always open to criticism, so if you have any words you think might be helpful, don't hesitate.

Skitches and funny stuff I write underneath

This is Manny. He likes to jack up faces so I made his nostrils too big.

Upper lip amazingly too dark

This was a demo. I got a comment I never got before, and as usual, the most rude comments imaginable are always accompanied by laughter. His wife said, "You need to keep practicing." (hyuck hyuck hyuck)

This kid said, "draw me with a head cold." Not really.

It looks just like him. I swear!

It was mad slow today. I did the body first and then added in some kid that sat for a demo. The body took an undersketch and a half . Undersketching is wrong!
It looks just like him. I swear! Stop looking at the Joe Bluhm in the background!

I did this at the end of the day and rushed the color. It's of nobody.

Some Caricatures that Please me

This young lady works at Sea World

They only wanted black and white. I really wish I could've colored it in.

A Gig, a hot dog and a cute little girl

These gals were really having a great time, and that's what's important.
Still-life with Rotting Hotdog and Puddle

whatever

Trying really hard to exzaggerate

The male half of this drawing is a failure. I missed the bulk of his cheeks. I just made him look dumb.

I'm happy with this one from a distance. While I was doing it my marker wasn't cooperating and I felt like a rookie.

Two Different Approaches to Caricature

This is my neighbor. I drew him from many photos. This is just one.
This is my first attept. As you can see, I was trying to simplify and generalize, turning him into a machine or something. Even though I wasn't satisfied with this drawing, I think it captured the gist of his personality.
This drawing I was more happy with. It includes very little generalizing and just pulls on those features which need be exzaggerated. The ear is generalized a lot though.

Trying to exzaggerate

Notice how these two faces look nearly identical. That's not good. Caricatures should look different from each other
This guy was a very nice mormon and he wanted to make me a mormon too. But I said no.
