Sketches and Smudges

Wonder Women

Travisty's Beard November post: Comic Book Heroes. I'm not a hardcore comic book fan...but when I was younger, I remember my only American female role model for a super hero was Wonder Woman. I was pretty bummed because I didn't really care for super buff flying men with deep voices and she was my only alternative. Now that I'm older, I have a deeper appreciation for her.

Summer Sketches

I've been keeping two sketchbooks this summer.

It's been a mix of painting, drawing and scrapbooking.

I collect framed insects and small taxidermy and decided to study my Mantis.

I like this spread because a very unhappy 'Wilfred' looks like he's shaming me, "Really? You stuck me here amongst these shitty drawings?" I did it for fun for my Art Director, Tim Lamb.


TimmyTom! My talented art director who I am learning so much from! So awesome he's tearing me a new one :D He currently had pink eye while spewing good advice, so I decided to draw him.

A sideshow act in the Barnaby at Outsidelands--lovely lady on a ten foot unicycle.

My new good friend, Francesco, who I sketch with in the city. He thinks I'm a monster :)

After moving back home, there was crazy mix of turmoil and inspiration. I was cleaning and discovered an old family photo. If it's not obvious, I'm the badass with the pink plastic cake that doubles as a keyboard.

Wolf revisions

Wolf Progress

After getting an awesome and thorough critique from Joel last week, I decided to design out of my comfort zone and reworked my wolf character. In addition to tweaking her design, I wanted to inject much more personality into her. My new 2d designs are bit more silly, telling the same story in a different tone. I will use the old design for the 3d version.

Some of these older images (color and turn around on blue) were from last week. The line drawings are my most recent work. I like the new personality I'm getting in the 2d design--it's also much quicker to draw. The following things can probably be vastly improved: proportion, simplified visual cues hinting at texture/patterns, consistency, tangents and pushing straights vs curves. Most of these drawings are definitely not my strongest work. Nonetheless, failure is apart of learning--and who can complain about drawing cartoons?
