Fruit Still Lifes

2011-11-06T00:29:00.000-07:00

Fruit still lifes done for my independent study. All three are done from photos I took in an attempt to capture the scene and draw it later. In the future I need to draw from actual life.

Shift+click

2011-10-27T10:13:00.000-07:00

An exploration of using the shift key to create point to point lines. I liked the effect but had to resort to regular strokes to fill in this. It works well for the initial drawing though

Mysterious journey

2011-10-27T10:11:00.000-07:00

A quick drawing done for a speed painting challenge over on deviantArt.

Lasso tool

2011-10-27T09:58:00.000-07:00

A drawing done for an independent study in digital painting. I was working with incorporating the lasso tool into my process. It creates some really nice lines, definitely something I will continue to use.

CourtYard

2011-04-19T01:34:00.000-07:00

transform tool really helps for fixing things

Thief

2011-04-17T13:03:00.000-07:00

Thief 4 has been under development for a while. I'm pretty excited for it to come out. This drawing is inspired by the cut scenes in Thief: the metal age

Castle Hill

2011-04-17T12:59:00.000-07:00

The composition was way to centered on this piece which gave me trouble for a while then I added the left foreground cliff which seemed to help. I created the original sketch using Alchemy, a really fun program that I haven't completely figured out to incorporate into my painting process

Hay Barn

2011-03-17T00:48:00.000-07:00

Working with textures and bringing a piece to a greater level of completion

Pond room

2011-03-10T01:48:00.000-08:00

Perspective gives me such trouble

Bamboo

2011-02-23T23:13:00.000-08:00

I've had this half done forever.

Idyllic

2011-02-23T17:50:00.000-08:00

Probably a little over the top on this one. The foreground doesn't seem that strong. I drew this up in normal layers instead of using a multiply layer for color than drawing over that. It works well for the background but overall doesn't change the look much

Bunch of rocks

2011-02-23T00:44:00.000-08:00

Playing around with photo textures in a more dominate role in a drawing.

Mushman

2011-02-22T00:34:00.000-08:00

I love the eyes on this guy. I had trouble figuring out what to do with the feet. Function definitely followed form in this one. I still have no idea what the jet like things do. Maybe the fellow is a water creature of some sort.

Rock landscape.

2011-02-17T01:30:00.000-08:00

Placement is so important, I should have done more studies but it was late and I wanted to get a drawing done.

Forested dawn

2011-01-17T12:12:00.000-08:00

I really love playing with forests and lighting. Something about the effect seems so inviting. I would love to explore every forest I draw which is one of the reasons I enjoy drawing them.

Happy New Years

2011-01-05T18:42:00.000-08:00

A little late but welcome to 2011 everyone

On ice

2010-12-30T13:19:00.000-08:00

Present on ice. I drew this for a friends birthday

Christmas time

2010-12-24T21:59:00.000-08:00

Merry christmas everyone. I drew these two pictures as presents for my cousins. I really enjoy this time of year for all the various santas that show up in blogs I follow. The variations on the subject are always plentiful and always really fun to look through.

Art classes

2010-12-16T21:36:00.000-08:00

I won't be taking another 2d art class for two semesters, this will be the longest break I've had for quite some time. I will enjoy the break, especially since I've taken two classes each semester for the past two semesters. Next semester should be a good semester though I'm not sure how it will be to have four "real" classes again

RedHead

2010-12-12T15:47:00.000-08:00

I'm very pleased with this piece. Figuring out how the armor would fit was a challenge as well as trying to make the armor cohesive throughout. It turned out to be more difficult than I expected to come up with the boots and waits armor.

In relation to my city post, the artist is Goro Fujita. He is very talented and one of my favorite artists. Check his blog out http://chapter-56.blogspot.com/

Cute liltank

2010-12-10T15:14:00.000-08:00

This piece started as an attempt to put a box in a room. Wow, I couldn't have seen this as the outcome.

What bot

2010-12-07T17:54:00.000-08:00

I can't remember whose style this but I'm a huge fan of the artist. It was a fun piece to work on

TreTree

2010-12-06T22:54:00.000-08:00

A pretty elaborated drawing I did on a friends phone. I enjoyed the muted colors

Awkward

2010-12-01T16:42:00.000-08:00

Something isn't right, or maybe many things. Not quite sure

Caricature

2010-11-28T16:55:00.000-08:00

Caricature of a friend. Inspired by the work of Jason Seiler (http://jasonseilerillustration.blogspot.com/). He does fantastic work

Ebb

2010-11-11T00:22:00.000-08:00

Slow day for drawing but got one done.

Posters

2010-11-09T20:10:00.001-08:00

Two posters I did for a guy at my school

Down Time

2010-11-07T21:51:00.000-08:00

It was supposed to be a glowing Popsicle but doesn't really make sense. Oh well

CupCake

2010-11-06T22:34:00.000-07:00

Trying again to learn modeling. Made this for a friends birthday party.

Wingless Dragon, ie really large lizard

2010-11-06T22:32:00.000-07:00

I really enjoy the rocks in the foreground

Dirty Arch

2010-11-06T11:11:00.000-07:00

Textures always seem a good way to make a fairly uninteresting drawing more interesting. I'm not sure if it's the truth

SomeSnow

2010-11-05T22:43:00.000-07:00

I did well on my econ test :D

SecondDay

2010-11-05T00:41:00.000-07:00

Well third actually but day two I worked on Blender which I'm getting a little more accustomed to.

Statue

2010-11-02T23:46:00.000-07:00

Hhaha I don't even know

BLV

2010-10-22T19:58:00.001-07:00

Not so productive on the drawing front but I'm doing real well on the video game front. That will switch around soon

SewerThugs

2010-09-24T11:18:00.000-07:00

I'm having trouble getting back into drawing. Hopefully better in the future

Drawing for a housemate

2010-05-17T09:18:00.001-07:00

Drawing I did for one of my housemates, I had the hardest time coming up with something and ended up finishing this right before I saw her.

Snoring

2010-04-30T00:27:00.000-07:00

My roommate snored the whole time I was drawing this. I wonder if it inspired the scene. Hahhaa good times

Henry and His Eel

2010-04-22T13:02:00.001-07:00

Really enjoyable drawing based on Holbein's Henry the 8th

Bugging

2010-04-14T23:40:00.001-07:00

Little alien bug.

Road and Hall

2010-04-14T23:35:00.000-07:00

I've been falling out of drawing in the last few weeks so recently I've tried to get back to drawing something each day.

Charger

2010-02-19T14:19:00.000-08:00

Inspired by Forza but the car is just from around here. I saw it when I was out biking

Drawing for friends

2010-02-18T15:48:00.000-08:00

A drawing for my friend.

Treeworld

2010-01-29T00:50:00.000-08:00

Working more on a world that I rather like. I've always liked dense trees.

Cave

2010-01-26T16:39:00.000-08:00

More work. I did my first oil painting today, it was for a class assignment but it still was one of the first. Just painting bottles. I did pretty well though, it's encouraging about being a painting emphasis.

Sword

2010-01-23T16:00:00.000-08:00

Final drawing. I'm not as happy with this as I was the last two. I think the design could have been better. I like the dragon like hand guards but the overall design looks neither sleek nor bulky but somewhere in between that doesn't seem to work. I guess when it comes down to it I would pick up the cleaver like weapon before this sword.

Second Weapon

2010-01-23T13:42:00.000-08:00

Another weapon on the same background. Drawn again in Gimp which is growing on me a little. It's becoming more natural to draw on my new set up.

Weapons

2010-01-20T17:48:00.000-08:00

Inspired by fable a somewhat. I will complete a few more in the next few days

Genna ja

2010-01-17T21:58:00.000-08:00

Two recent drawings, both drawn in a combination of open canvas and Gimp. Also drawn on a new comp and drawing pad. Fun stuff. School starts again tomorrow and so does my first painting class. I wonder if I'll be a painting major as I'm planning. Lol

RocksNclouds

2009-11-28T16:06:00.000-08:00

iphone drawing using colors, finished it up on my computer.

Besides buildings

2009-11-14T15:57:00.000-08:00

I've been drawing a few too many buildings recently so I decided to just draw what I wanted and guess what... a building! Oh well it was fun

Another drawing for Shadowrun: Awakened

Drawing done for Shadowrun: Awakened. It's a cool project. http://awakenedmmo.org/

Water Tower

2009-10-29T23:37:00.000-07:00

A drawing that didn't really work out

SaDDay

2009-10-24T14:22:00.000-07:00

Not really, its actually quite a good day. On bad days I can't really draw anything.

JungleSap

2009-10-22T00:09:00.000-07:00

Looked at my feed from all the blogs I follow, just blew me away; so much great work makes me want to be better. I submitted to our lit mag today, hope I get my work in, going for getting a piece in every semester for my college career. Going to life drawing tomorrow, it's a real challenge for me. I still need to learn so much when it comes to believable human figures.

ForcedN

2009-10-18T10:54:00.000-07:00

I never get tired of drawing these forest scenes. I should try one with a different color scheme. Going biking today, should be good.

It's been a while

2009-10-16T20:16:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I did something creepy. My knowledge of anatomy seems to haunt me, but I'm slowing fixing that by going to life drawing sessions

Too Long

2009-10-15T15:54:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I've really liked something I drew. For some reason I really like this one. Good day

Squre in a hole.

2009-10-14T21:10:00.000-07:00

Another attempt at creating a level design. I'm having trouble rendering my overhead sketch as drawings from eye level. I need more practice and more experience drawing from real life. I would also like to learn more technique.

Old Room

2009-10-13T20:02:00.000-07:00

Finally drew something again. Trying to come up with a cool idea for a multiplayer map. I dunno.

Like not Knowing

2009-10-03T11:06:00.000-07:00

This drawing seems vaguely familiar. I guess I did something like this a while ago or something. I sort of always knew this but there are many things that I simply don't want to know. Mainly things that I would consider baser. I dunno just something I was thinking about last night.

Elephant

2009-10-01T23:24:00.000-07:00

I fell behind :( got a headache too and no sleep but finished Halo Recon. Fun game but it kinda sucks being a Marine especially how slow they move.

Alder's Winter

2009-09-29T16:12:00.000-07:00

Didn't come out quite right. the upper part I like but I messed up the lower part somehow. Busy week ahead

Person Work

2009-09-28T20:07:00.000-07:00

It's slow but I need more practice.

Dia sin suerte

2009-09-19T11:29:00.000-07:00

Another so-so piece. :(

Forestish

2009-09-17T17:23:00.000-07:00

Spent about an hour and ten minutes on this. Need to work on incorporating different tree designs in these drawings. It seems to be hard to do.

Yup

2009-09-17T00:39:00.000-07:00

I thought I would try to finish up a sketch I would normally reject. Interesting result, I thought I would hate it; however, I think it just looks a little worse than my average sketch. That might reflect rather poorly on my other work(just thought of that).

Tree with Skulls

2009-09-15T21:57:00.000-07:00

A nice cute drawing

The run-down rat

2009-09-14T21:25:00.000-07:00

Cooking can take its toll.

Another Hall

2009-09-14T09:38:00.000-07:00

I perform a juggling routine with my brother in the christening show over at my old high school. It was the first time I had really performed in front of an audience. I was a little nervous. Fortunately our performance was flawless. It felt fantastic

Out of Fire

2009-09-12T01:13:00.000-07:00

Had trouble with the smoke in this. I wanted something similar to the smoke created by oil burning but that wouldn't make sense for a campfire. As is it doesn't quite translate that the smoke is meant to be forming this monster instead of the smoke simply winding around it.

Archway

2009-09-09T15:33:00.000-07:00

I need to work on coming up with more imaginative interior spaces. I especially should learn to put more complex objects in my interiors. Right now I mainly focus on perspective.

To The Moon

2009-09-09T14:35:00.000-07:00

Quick sketch to try and catch up. I seem to always be busy.

Say Good bye to the world you thought you lived in

2009-09-08T16:35:00.000-07:00

I was too unproductive this weekend, but I had a good time so I guess it works out. Anyways finally finishing this drawing up from Friday. Hopefully I will be able to catch up this coming week.

Castle

2009-09-03T17:31:00.000-07:00

This looks very similar to most of the other work I have done. I really need to move beyond these type of drawings to something that is more believable.

Boring Office Man

2009-09-02T23:51:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure if I should leave this at this state. I wanted it to be boring but I'm not sure if that comes across. It feels good to work on faces for a while. I guess I have only been doing creatures for a while. I'll be back into landscapes in a little while. I GOT WESTERN ART 2 I'm sooooo happy.

Moss Crawler

2009-09-01T22:42:00.000-07:00

I'm starting to feel like I'm getting behind which is strange because classes just started. I guess it's been a while since I've been in school and it's hard to get back into the grove. It seems to kinda of reflect in my drawings, I had a rough day and only drew an ok picture. Hopefully tomorrow will be more organized and I will feel like I'm on top of things.

The Golden Banjo

2009-08-31T20:13:00.000-07:00

Doing this as some work to come up with a drawing for a friend. I have to do drawings for a bunch of people. It's quite hard cause I want to do something that is really outstanding

School has begun again

2009-08-31T20:11:00.000-07:00

Therefore in some horrible coincidence I now once more feel like drawing again. I'm not too pleased with this but it's a start

Mr. Old Pugly

2009-08-10T22:12:00.000-07:00

My goodness it's been so long since I've drawn anything digital. Finally I mustered the inspiration to draw an old ugly dude. I still need to work on people. Spending time away from drawing always seems to improve me a little, this always seemed strange to me.

Oldman

2009-05-31T20:51:00.000-07:00

Portraits, hurray. I tried doing a self portrait first but it didn't turn out very well. It was head on which was a bad idea.

LionCow

2009-05-26T13:25:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine drew the sketch for this and I colored it. I still don't think it looks that great but couldn't seem to make it better. Oh well

The Trail

2009-05-26T12:58:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to get the number of drawings that are unfinished down. Right now I still have quite a few but I took care of two today. This was one of them. I drew the sketch around Christmas but didn't add color and detail till now.

Rock Monster

2009-05-25T22:46:00.000-07:00

Goodness all those cracks took so long. My eyes hurt. Had fun with the drawing though. Tomorrow I need to try drawing some people.

DeviantArt is always so encouraging. I uploaded all the drawings I had built up which amounted to about 15 or so. I got 350 messages within a day. So much support it always makes me feel better about myself.

Golden Tree

2009-05-24T13:29:00.000-07:00

I picked up Shadowrun because I had met the concept artist while doing a jobshadow at Turn Ten Studios. I liked a great many elements of the game such as the Tree of life, an actual tree that the player plants which heals any units near it. Unfortunatly overall the game wasn't that much fun especially since I don't have Xbox Live and it didn't feature any sort of split screen play.

Orangescape

2009-05-23T18:58:00.001-07:00

A screen shot from Froza 2 inspired me to draw this. Went over to our neighbor's house today for a couple of hours. Talked alot and played a little halo, even though it had been mouths since we had played, he was still able to beat my brother and I by the usual margin. A small one but he almost never fails to beat us. Funny thing is we were originally way better than him. He learned from us and now we can't seem to get better than him.

Bird

2009-05-23T18:02:00.000-07:00

Fun little drawing which was meant to be for a contest on the Bamboo page on Facebook but graffiti ended up not working so I just finished the drawing in Photoshop

One Tree Valley

2009-05-22T22:04:00.000-07:00

Goodness I'm a drawing behind. Went hiking today up Tiger with my dad, one of his friends and one of my friends. It was a really beautiful hike, even though my friend and I took the wrong trail. I love Washington in the spring so much. I'll try to draw something really green so time soon.

Second Day

2009-05-21T00:43:00.000-07:00

I couldn't think of anything to draw so I drew a forest. Anyways I seem so unproductive when I'm off school maybe because I can clearly remember what I did in the day. I'm not sure. Anyways this took too long.

Hell Trees

2009-05-19T23:46:00.000-07:00

Another sketch I did on my friends Iphone. I'm almost thinking of getting a Nintendo DS lite to draw on. Give me something to do when I have some free time.

Edit, oops I loaded the image from the wrong place. My mistake

I'm back

2009-05-19T23:38:00.000-07:00

I am. It's finally done. I made it. I'm no longer a freshman. Hurray. Anyways I had a pretty tough time of moving out. To begin with I was a little over confident with how long it would take to empty my room (I have much more stuff than I would have ever known). Speaking of which I really need to stop buying any clothes for a while, else I will drown in them. Now that I'm back in my room at home, I realize that I have limited space and too much clothing. Thank goodness most of my work is digital or I would have drawings absolutely everywhere, even as is, most of my wall space is covered in art. My brother who throws pots has a hard time finding places for all the work he has done.

I did this in less time than I usually do. About 40 min or so. Whenever I don't draw for a while on my computer, I forget how much fun it is.

Iphone Brushes drawing

2009-05-07T22:41:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine has an iphone and I had the opportunity to play around on it a little today. I drew this in a couple of minutes and liked it. It reminds me of my drawings when I first got a tablet.

Bucket Native

2009-05-02T14:00:00.000-07:00

I will start up with my drawing a day when school is over. I did this drawing for a girl on my floor who wanted me to draw something cute. Originally the guy had big teeth and feathers instead of hair but those ended up getting changed. The girl really liked it and now I have to draw something for 4 other people on my floor.

Wizard

2009-04-15T00:51:00.000-07:00

I had alot of fun with this one.

Fat Princess Soldier

2009-04-11T18:03:00.000-07:00

I don't think I did as good a job on this. I do like the sword however. Next I need to try some landscapes. Maybe I'll use flash to draw them.

Wood Chopper

2009-04-10T22:03:00.000-07:00

I'm rather happy with this. I guess it would be fan art for Fat Princess. I really liked the wood choppers, so cute. Anyways I really love fall coloring
