Here is my morning warm up. I am knee deep in projects right now. Two murals...a plate painting...as well as two logos. Lets just say when it rains it pours:))) More to come!!!!

Process sketch

Here is the preliminary sketch of a creature I am working on. I hope to detail this one out:)

Harder than I thought..

The drawing a day is becoming a passion. I am bogged down with wanting to do much more than a "quick" drawing and more of wanting to do a great illustration. I am looking in my bag of tricks to see what I can do to take care of this. I will post my results as I work thru it. In the meantime...here is a quick character study!

A little fun....

I am in my studio for the next few days and will be starting the murals on Sunday so I am super busy. Oh yes...and then there is Christmas! All is good and I am blessed:))) Here is a little fun. Remember...you always can spare 10 minutes a day. No matter what!

Warm ups

Here are todays warm ups. I will be posting a creature later today. So much work!!!!

Always looking to do better...

I am always looking to better myself and do better work. Here is a new technique...still in Manga but quicker and clearer. I am also going to start with more expression in my characters.

Frank is not what we consider to be a "holiday fun bear".

Frank is not what we consider to be a "holiday fun bear". This is a quick sketch for the season:))) Hope to be done with the gator piece soon!

Season to live again

Seasonal piece of Geoff the bear wearing a truly tacky sweater his mom got for him. He is not happy.

Fast color

Here is my evening warm up!

Quick character sketch

Here is a quick character sketch. I will paint him up tonight as my warm up.

Monday monster!

So today is Monday...and I had a weekend that I would like to put behind me:) House projects and car maintenance put the drawing on hold for a couple of days. I am finally back in the groove. Here is a quick Monday monster.

Final with some process sketches...

Here is a final dog rendering that I recently completed. I have also included a few of the rejected pose sketch studies I submitted. The client really wanted a specific pose and at last I nailed it. He is happy and at the end of the day that is what matters:) As always...I work on a Cintiq in Manga Studio. 

I am a lumberjack!

This is an evening warm up. I am in logo land:)

Todays fun!

So I am actually a little swamped today. I have work at the office and work in the studio...life is good! Here is a quick piece I did in-between jobs today. I am also working on 2 logos and will post the process as I have it finished. Enjoy!

Back from vacation...

So I am now back from a great week of theme parks and fun with the family! I only did one small piece this week and have already posted it(dog rendering). Here is a quick sketch warm up this morning. Of course I have a pile of "to do" art that is screaming at me so off to the races!!!!
