Sketchcardiness - Jedi Youngling

This was something that I thought you never seen much off is Star Wars sketchcards, a Jedi Young-ling, totally innocent, not knowing that there is a guy named Darth Vader coming to kill him, maybe he has felt the disturbance in The Force, but just doesn't know what it means...poor kid.

Battle of the Darth Sketchcards!

 

These are two more Copic Marker sketchcards, Darth Vader (episodes 4-6) and Darth Maul (episode 1).  

Clone Trooper Sketchcard

This is a sketchcard of a clonetrooper helmet from the Star Wars prequels.  I used Copic markers, I am still trying to get used to them.  I never have been great with color, but I wanted this to be a bright piece and I think I got that.

Sketchcard Madness - Kit Fisto

This is a sketch card of Kit Fisto, I think one of the coolest under-utilized Jedi out there.

Sketchcards... Princess Amidala

Todays sketchcard comes courtesy of SW:TPM (Episode 1).  Princess Amidala in one of her big headdresses.  I like the way it came out generally, it doesn't look like Natalie Portman, but I think it looks good.  there are some issues with the skull size and the eye placement...but overall I think it is alright.

Sketchcard of Princess Leia, from Ep 4.  I found with this one that even the position of the eyebrow, makes or breaks the entire portrait.  I had a real problem with the chin, and I was worried about the eye.  A couple of small tweaks changed the whole picture.  It was not working at all, I moved the eyebrow and reworked the chin and things really came together.  

Here is another Star Wars sketchcard, Obi-Wan Kenobi.   Think this one came out okay.  Again with the Micron Pens.  I did this one while my son was watching the Return of the Jedi for the second time in a day.  :)

Sketchcards Yoda-ness

Sketch card I did this morning, Yoda, using a crosshatch technique.  I haven't done a crosshatch drawing in quite sometime and I really enjoyed it.  Done with Micron Pens and Canson 150lb sketchcards.

More sketchy-cardy goodness

Star Wars Clone Wars, newest baddie, Cad Bane!  Using Copic Markers.

I am still trying to find a white marker that is heavy and keeps its brightness.  Suggestions??

Nathan Fillion Continued

This one is my favorite of the two.  This is from a scene in ABC's CASTLE where Nathan Fillion is dressing up for Halloween as a "Space Cowboy" a direct nod to his days as Mal Reynolds on Joss Whedon's Firefly series.  This is one of the first "finished" works I have done that involves a real background.

Finally Finished _ Nathan Fillion

This is a picture I did of Nathan Fillion as Capt Mal Reynolds from Firefly.  Inked with an amazing Pentel brush that uses a replaceable ink cartridge.  You never have to dip the pen in ink or water.  I have found it liberating.  Anyway, this is inked with black and gray ink.  I tried to give it a Micheal Cho kind of feel.  I didn't get it what I wanted it but I think it was a pretty decent first try.  I will be working a lot more with these lind of works.

Better Late than Never Halloween Art

Got the idea for this one AFTER Halloween!  LOL  Anyway, I wanted to do a cute pumpkin family.  Drew it on a 5x8 blank hallmark card.

Karloff's Frankenstein

I drew this is a blank Hallmark card for my High School Art teacher.  I am putting it in the mail today.  I hope she likes it.  I have tried to express to her what an influence she had on me in HS, even though I haven't become a professional artist yet, I still draw upon the experiences I had in her class to this day.

Thanks Mrs. Phila McDaniel, Art teacher @ Gardena HS, Los Angeles

Tusken Raider Thursday

Today is Tusken Raider Thursday! I was really happy with the way this one came out.  My first attempt at a Tusken Raider.  Mostly Faber pens, but I used some Copics in the end, we will have to see what the next one looks like all Copic... 

Sketchcard - Jawa

Sketchcard -  Jawa

I love these lil guys!  This is one of my first full color sketchcards.  Interesting way to draw...you know, with color.  LOL  (My friends will know why)  I used Copic and faber markers, but I think in the future I will be sticking to the Copics.  There is a real difference in the them.  The Copics are a lot smoother and have a much richer color.  Anyway, let me know what you think!

Fanart - Sheldon Comics

I drew todays sketch after reading some old comics from Dave Kellett's SHELDON, Dante is the best friend of the main character Sheldon, and in addition to being a artist, he dresses up as STICKMAN when they play heroes.  So this is my attempt at Stickman.  If you want to start on a great comic Sheldon is AWESOME at being Awesome.

Ken Elvistrooper Tarleton - Fan art

A sketch of one of my favorate comic con regulars.  Ken Elvistrooper Tarleton.  He is way too cool for me to be drawing, but I dig this pose and wanted to draw it.  Pen and ink in my brown paper sketchbook.

Stormtrooper Sketchyness

Stormtrooper sketch that I actually inked.  I wanted to try out my white pen and this seemed to be a great one to try it on.
