Dad's in Charge

This one took a while to finish. Thanks to all that helped critique this piece on the Illustration board. Their suggestions really made this a winner.

Art Tip Tuesday

My art tip this week is to create a sketchbook with other artists work. That's right, take the work of artists you admire and images that you love and tape them into a sketchbook so you can easily reference it later on. I also save images from the internet that I love in a special folder. When I have a bunch of them I print them off on a full sheet of sticker paper. Cut them out and stick them in your sketchbook. Refer to your book from time to time to study techniques used and a great way to get inspiration.

Play Ball? almost final

I still have some things I need to add. Drool and more tongue details, but it's very close to done.

Some steps to creating Play Ball

These are the screen shots I took as I worked on the dog illustration. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have on how I work. I just didn't feel like explaining the steps. It really is just to show how I make changes along the way as I work.

Play Ball?

This is the latest illustration that I am working on for my portfolio revamp. With work being as slow as it is it is a great time to get some good portfolio pieces done.
Oh, I still have some more work to do on this piece. I'll also publish the final piece with the tutorial.

Spider and the Fly

Something out of the sketchbook.

Some monster, creature and a pug sketch out of my sketch book. See, not everything I create is on the computer.

People sketches on the go

Here are some of my sketches of people I see in stores and at the park. I just sketch them as quick as I can really rough and really loose and then work on them form memory when I get home.
