In an ongoing series of foods and cooking, I’ve drawn some of my favorite veggies.
I started with a few concept rough drawings:
Then I moved on to pencils (not pictured) and inks:
Finally I added a wash and in photoshop, a greenish tint:
I’ve also made a meat chart:
What a surprise! An asteroid being, not dissimilar from the robots in cityscapes that I’ve been drawing.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Hard to believe that another year has gone by. And in honor of the 18th year of this century, I have here and octopus. I realize that octopi have eight arms and not 18, but let’s not worry about that.
I started with a pencil sketch that started out very loose, then I gradually tightened up a bit.
I then inked it.
I was originally planning on leaving it black and white, but I eventually decided to apply a wash and some ink splatter.
The original piece is fairly large, and even with my large format printer, I had to stitch this together.
I have embarked on a Delicate Adventure to make a strong table presence for my web comic Delicate Adventures.
I drew up some basic plans here, keeping in mind the needs of this statuette, such as a pedestal for stability and a sign that locks into the egg with a peg.
Then I passed this off to my friend who will render it in a 3D program.
Next, I pass this file off to my friend who can 3D print the egg, the pedestal, and the egg itself.
Once everything is printed, this is what it looks like.
Here is the final egg, painted (by my friend with the 3D printer) and assembled! If you see Delicate Adventures and me at a convention, look out for this beautiful statue!
More birds, you say? Yes, I thought I’d continue to practice midtowns and halftone dots with out carrion eating friend here. Apologies for the short post, gentle reader, but it’s been a long week.
Yes, friends, I am continuing my journey into half tone land with some chickens.
I was quite proud of the brush strokes on these birds, and I think they elton themselves to halftone.
Here are the original birds.
I used these creatures to practice my two tone illustration. I usually use a grey pen, but I liked the contrast that this red pen bestows.
An asset management software company called Pepper has commissioned a series of comics for their website, social media, blogs, etc. As a copywriter and illustrator, I come up with stirring copy then illustrate comics to accompany it. It’s a very fun and challenging project, and I am glad that people recognize comics not only as a respectable art form, but as a viable medium to convey practical ideas.
Apologies for my absence lo these past weeks. It’s been a busy month! Here’s what’s going on:
-I got engaged
-I finished grad school
-I launched my new comic, Tomorrow Jerks
-I am moving
-I went to LA for a weekend
And now I’d like to talk to y’all about Tomorrow Jerks, my new comic! It’s about about a couple of jerks and their Walrus buddy, yukkin’ it up in the future! The first chapter is up already and the second chapter is rolling out, one page a week! It’s free, Bee Tee Dubs. Here’re a couple o’ pages, to give you a taste. They’re unrelated:
