Today's art post...

Trying a little different approach to my process....getting rid of the dark harsh lines...at least from the sketch.

More process...

This is just a post about process. This is but one way that I work depending hot I want the look and end result to be. I would like to be able to paint on one layer but the way that art sometimes needs to be modified I must work in layers and keep the hard line present. This shows the process from sketch to finish. I have left off the text to who the complete illustration.

Concept illustration art.

Here are a couple of concept sketches for art I am currently developing for a large retail client. There is nothing like working on halloween art in March:) I will post the final when complete!

Concept environment sketch

So I have been placed on Star Wars art and am knee deep in the world of the wookies. I am also working on Halloween concepts(yes I know it is this early). Todays art is a very loose sketch of my concept. Enjoy!

Monday alien:))))

So I am super busy...for the first time in a while:)))) I made a decision to change something and it has paid off! I am moving into a new area of my career and am loving every minute of it. I will be posting more and more so enjoy the ride:)))

Morning warm up:)

Here is my morning warm up. So festive:)))

Old one but good one:))))

So I was in the Keys this weekend and Friday watching my super wife run 26.2 miles in the 94 degree heat...she was awesome:))) I did not however get the chance to sketch anything. I did see some very interesting types of people. Mainly the Key West zombies that roam the island. Think people that should not be alive but are and come out at night to prey on the tourists. It was very interesting....and I think later today I will try to do a few:))) In the meantime here is a sketch from a piece I did a while ago for a theme park. Think Medusa of the sea:)))

Finished horseman art and a computer head:)

Finally finished the headless horseman art. I also did a sculpt in sculptris or a head...cool program and very easy to use:)))

Velma!!!

Here is my version of Velma:) More of the gang to come!

Horseman update...

Here is my headless horseman update. I have about 3-4 hours left at most. I will be putting lots of details and atmospherics in the art. This will go into my archive:) Tis the season:))) I will post the final when complete!

Afternoon sketch:)))

This is my afternoon sketch in between everything! I have sooo much to do. I sometimes take a stroll and do a quick five minute sketch. It really helps in re-focusing me.

Working on the headless horseman!

So I have decided to really take my time with this piece. I have concepted it and now am going onto the final. I will post my progress:) Enjoy!!!!

Finished zombie art:)))

Wrapped up a zombie piece. I am also working on a headless horseman piece that is going to be epic:)))) 

Monday fun..

Just a quick funny here on this Monday morning:)))

Quickie:)))

Here is another quick sketch to keep the fingers loose!

Friday post!!!

Today's post is an exercise in monster-ology. When I was growing up and trying to learn to draw I always tended to give my human drawings monster elements. I always have loved to create monsters. I am building up my creature portfolio so enjoy:)))

Concept sketch layout for new illustration

So here is my morning post. I will be doing a Halloween illustration featuring the head less horseman. For some reason I have always equated this scary story of Sleepy Hollow with the fall season of my youth. I will post the finished piece when complete:)
