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. 

October is for Scariness!

This is done with pan and ink, some red ink for the blood.  I found some blank Hallmark cards that say "Yooo Hooo" (with a small Owl) on the front.  Open them up and a nice large drawing surface.  I thought this would be good for an October drawing.

A Bluer, Happy You!

I used a blue colored pencil to see what kind of look a sketch would have.  I picked a happier photo, cause franklly, my lastest sketches have been mean or sad-looking faces.  Anyway, I thought it was a pretty decent 20 min sketch.

My Buddy Ken

 

  

A couple of different shot of my sketch of my Buddy Ken.  This photo was just begging to be drawn.  Anyway, a pencil, sketchbook and about 20 minutes later...He said he liked it, I hope so.  LOL

Hulkin' out Self Portrait

 

Another 20-minute sketch.  Me all angry and stuff.  I don't think the left eye is right...and the face seems a bit thin.  I will have to work on that.

Self Portrait Sketch

 

Here is a 20-minute self-portrait sketch in pencil.  Seems to be a pretty close likeness...What do you think?

New Luke Skywalker Lineart

Here is a sketch and the line art from the sketch. I think I might try inking this with the computer before I start with markers. I have to say, I love the sketch so much more that the line art, but I think that is because the sketch has some shading and the line art has nothing but...possibility. I am stretching...growing...I hope... LOL

More Star Wars Universe!

A couple of more sketches of the Dymanic Duo of the Star Wars U. Han Solo, inked. and Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi. Not comfortable with the inks yet, I am still in a "feeling out" period. But I was pretty pleased with the first effort on the Han Solo sketch.

Luke Skywalker

My sketch of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. Took about 45 minutes and done with a #2 pencil.

"You scruffy-looking...nerfherder!"

Pencil sketch of Han Solo. I like it for the most part, but the eyes seem a bit...big and the it just makes him look unnatural and zombie-like...I like the way the hair turned out though... :)

Obi-Wan Sketches

Here are a couple of sketches of Alex Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The shape of the skulls are quite right, but I am working on it. I am just trying to get pen/pencil to paper these days and working on getting recognizable figures.

Back from Comic-Con and getting my feet under me

Okay, so I drew my first actual sketchcard. I bought a pack of card stock and I am going to start working on them. I put this one of Leia as Boushh on eBay and we will see if any one thinks it is worth anything. LOL

Wonder Woman Commission

This was a commission for a friend.

Sketch of Mt Shasta

We rolled into Weed, Ca on our way to the Tri-Cities in Washington state and we stayed the night, Weed is a cool little town, and by little and mean little. But it has one of the best Burger cafe's I have ever eaten at and for the life of me, I can't remember the name...damn. Anyway, the sun was going down adn I took a few minutes to do a sketch of Mt. Shasta.

Wonder Woman Birthday Commission

This is a commission I did for my friend Marie (Happy Birthday!) at the request of her husband Kenny. I hope she likes it. :)
