Greetings

I been working on creating greeting cards, and trying to combine all my skill-sets. These are some illustrations from them.

I love the way this painting turned out.

I drew my neighbor as a football player for him. His girl really liked it so I decided to paint them together since I been trying to get into painting with acrylic. They loved it.

last of the night on a busy day

I put my blog address on this one. This family was awesome. I did a demo of the dad which they bought. The next day I ended up drawing the rest of the famlily. Most of those drawings turned out pretty good. But this one's probably the coolest. The family got drawn by some of the other artists too, but they didn't reject um, then come to me. They bought everything. The wall in their house must look ridiculous -- in a good way. I hope they find this. Family's like them keep a caricature artist going.

Check it out, Ma! This little fellow was very intelligent, so maybe it was okay that I made his dome too tall. But probably not. Aside from that error, I'm pretty happy with this sketch overall. I love the shark and the atmosphere. It's really hard to make a shark look any scarier than a shark actually looks in real life, but this one looks pretty scary to me. I wish I could have made the kid look freightened or something.

He wanted it to be as nerdy as possible. I like my World of Warcraft poster. He was big into that.

This guy was cool. This was actually an Andy reject. Andy drew a trumpet when the guy asked for a trombone. You gotta check out Andy's blog though. He's real good. He's a pioneer. No joke.

Painting for my family for Christmas

I painted my family for Christmas because I had more time and artistic drive than money. Keeping track of the process kept me going and kept me on track. I got it here for you in reverse order.

I layed in some colors going for a certain look in my mind but not knowing exactly what I wanted.

I started coloring in between the lines, hoping and aiming to establish a sense of space.

This is the first of many layout attempts I did on tracing paper.

I designed each pose individually until i had what I wanted. then I transfered it to the board using graphite.

I began in my sketchbook, by drawing my family from photos, and a very sloppy layout sketch.

The project was very rewarding and I was motivated the whole way through because it's something like I've never done, and cuz it made me remember the old homestead and all my loved ones.
