This is a longer video demo as I am still getting the hang of the process and equipment. I am going to try to keep these at 5 minutes max. Soon I will throw in a narration. Enjoy!

New post alert!!!!!

So I have been super busy and realizing some dreams but always have time to learn a little...and sketch a little. You know...to get where I need to be. If I had at least one piece of advice to give...that is to never...and I mean never give up on your dream! The only person standing in your way is you. Reach for the starts because you will reach them:)

Character art post..

Updated post.

Here is the update from last nights sketch:)

Character art

So I had an opportunity to do some Mickey Mouse character art. I was going out for a project with not knowing all the details...we as artists sometimes do that you know. What the client was looking for was a Mickey Mouse character artist for a style guide. Needless to say i do not have the time invested to know the nuances of Mickey Mouse as I do not draw him all day long(as style guides are what the whole company uses to do a character). I am a decent artist and draftsman but what a character artist does that specializes in a specific character is very specific. Needless to say I did not get the job:( I was bummed at first but the more I think about it the more I am thankful. I give the utmost respect to the character artists that have the dedication to draw the same character for a living...or a handful of characters for that matter. It really taught me something about myself and the way I approach a new project. I think in the future I will ask more questions and know the current level of my ability on a specific project. I am all for pushing to be better...but to compete in the big leagues with those that are the masters at what they do...you too must be a master. One day...practice makes perfect!
