quick update

 I got to hand it to you

Yup. I think I'm getting a little better with my hands. ;)

You Sick Little Monkey!

It's been a while since I drew Ren or Stimpy together. I guess these two warmups that I did last night really did the trick. ;)

figure and head study

So I started my first day of studying under another art teacher whose going to help me learn to draw the human figure over the summer. These sketch studies are actually from one of many books that he loaned to me and I decided to make use of them and looked a bit into them tonight, instead of storyboarding my project. No worries though, I'm going to resume it asap-- probably by sunday.

Anyway, I think that this isn't a bad start at drawing the pose as seen in BH's Dynamic Figure Drawing book early on in chapter 1. However, the arm that's reaching forward is too disproportionate and the muscles look a little uneven.

That's going to be my next challenge-- to know every muscle that the human body contains.

Last Day of School

Just as I promised, the last update of the month before school lets out. All I gotta say is...

I Want That Bear!

This bear was a result of many sketch studies composed from my Walter Foster animation study booklet that I bought last year. I haven't been using it as often as I should, but I have started using it more frequently these past two days.

 Burnes Hogarth female studies

Once again, these two female body sketches were taken from my Burnes Hogarth book. I'm trying to pay attention more to details, so this bottom one, I decided to draw again. My Art teacher said I have a habit of drawing it a lot.

 Let's Face it!

I also have a tendency to daw this face as well. This time, I think I'm more attentive to the actual shape of the skull-- top and back.

 portrait studies

This is just a portrait study of me just to get in the habit of drawing more portraits. My Art teacher thinks that I really need to improve upon that area because he says that they're in the Freshmen High School area right now. I agree with him-- I just wish it were easier to manage.

Darkwing Duck panel study

Ah yes. I decided to revisit my Darkwing Duck fan days and recreate this panel from the very first issue when Boom Studios was distributing them. It certainly looks miles ahead from last year's attempt, which I decided not to post.

All I have to do now is take my last final and then I'm home free! See you soon. ;)

ending the year soon...

eyes practice 

These are just some eyes I drew from my Burnes Hogarth book, so I can study how they work better. Being that I'm finishing up my Studio Drawing 2 class, my teacher has wanted me to focus on eyes and how they aline. 

 Daffy Duck studies

These were from last week when I was watching the Daffy Duck cartoon 'The Great Piggy Bank Robbery'. This one has to be one of my 2nd favorite Bob Clampett-directed Looney Tunes cartoon of all time, with Falling Hare being the first.

 Bugs Bunny studios

Since I mentioned Falling Hare, I decided to study how Bugs' poses were aligned in certain sequences of the cartoon. This was when he was trying to get out of the plane by breaking down the door.

linear perspective on my name

Here's my name ala Linear Perspective style. This was an assignment from class in order to execute linear perspective correctly. I have other examples, but I felt they're too embarassing to show considering this is better.

That's all for now folks. Will update you again soon.

sketching away

real life comparison sketch

So yeah. It seems as though this sketch wasn't the best interpretation of this warehouse found at my college. Oh well, at list I'm trying to get the perspective down.

 linear perspective sketch

Right now, I can't seem to look back at what kind of perspective this sketch required (though it could very well be a combination of both 1 and 2 point perspective), but I think it still looks good for practice.

My Room 

...or at least a sketch of it. Seriously, I think there's more to it that I could've fixed about it. I mean, it's not bad at all, but my roommate's desk looks so disproportionate adjacent to how it really is in real life. Oh well-- practice makes perfect.

facial body parts sketchdump

While I was in class yesterday, my Professor suggested that I work on the eyes and nose a bit so I can get those features nailed down while I'm drawing my tennis player drawing.

 cartoony sketchdump

Thursday night, I got bored so I decided to do a sketchdump featuring some classic cartoon characters. I must say, they look very dignified. ;)

Glen Keane sketchdump

Of course, if you folks didn't know this by now, Glen Keane has resigned from Disney earlier last week. Since it's brought such an uproar, I decided to do a sketch of Beast and Ratigan to calm the storm XD.

 Bob Clampett Tweety Bird

I must say, Bob Clampett isn't really one of my biggest idols, but I do admire his animation direction. So out of boredom Saturday night, I decided to draw Tweety Bird.

Tim Burton sketchdump

Ah yes, Tim Burton-- one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. You know, I never had the time to really draw more of his material, but I really want to. I should rewatch all of his movies so I can start copying his artistic direction. It's so unique and creative.

Ren's Happy Helmet

Gotta love Ren and Stimpy. I've always wanted to draw Ren's happy transformation sequence from the episode 'Stimpy's Invention.' It has to be one of the best sequences ever in Ren and Stimpy.

Well, that's all folks. I've got some work to do. See yah!

getting busier and busier by the minute...O_O

Pillar frame designs

Progress on the play has been pushing forward successfully-- everybody is doing a good job and I've so far helped build our first column, along with another set piece.

These designs here are just a sample of what is going to appear on the pillars in the final stages.

 unknown portrait sketch

This sketch here is an idea for a portrait that we may end up drawing painting in one of the indoor rooms/scenes of the play, like the Merchant's house, Venturewell's house, etc. 

I love how the shadows contrast with the lit part of the face.

 Amelia Enmity sketch

Of course, missed drawing Amelia, so I decided to draw this little sketch that I may put in my art portfolio. There are still some areas that are in need of improvement, but I think this is a good sketch.

 2-point linear perspective sketch

This first attempt at drawing 2-point linear perspective didn't go as good as I hoped. The shapes came out kinda disproportionate, the shading wasn't too good, and the lines felt too enforced. But...

I drew it again and the results got a little better. This time the lines aren't quite solid looking, and the shapes are more proportionate; although, the perspective on the two blocks may not be right. Here's hoping that I can keep on drawing.

Burnes Hogarth sketch

This is another face sketch that I drew from my Burnes Hogarth book-- I'm not really too proud of it, but a sketch is a sketch.

Well, that's it for now folks. I need to attend to some homework that i need to get done.

Good night.

Going back to school today!

 So I'm going back to school tonight after a long and relaxing spring break. But before I leave, I thought it would be considerate to update my art blog before I go back again.

 Mind you that I will still be updating this blog regularly. ;)

 Burnes Hogarth female body sketch

 Yesterday, I decided to warmup with a resketch the female anatomical body. It's starting to look a lot more like what is featured in the book.

Rorschach Gizmo 2.0

This is just a resketch of an old drawing that I did several months back. I like the inking directing that I went with in the top half section of the drawing and the with the bottom, but I feel that there was more I could've done. Oh well. I could always draw it again.

 

Zombie sketch

Since I haven't drawn any zombies in a while, I decided to draw one of my own, in my own style. Isn't he cute? ;)

dumping some more art...

 Jesus sketch

 This is a sketch of Jesus Christ that I did for a friend. I'm not too happy with the way it came out, but it's not bad. I think my friend deserves a better Jesus sketch.

Alien Nation storyboards

I'm finally getting more storyboards done for my Alien Nation promo that I've been working on. Already, my aliens are possessing the necessary acting skills to get through their careers. XD

I got your back!

 Just a BH drawing of some guy's back. It's nice to know that I'm getting a better hang on a person's human body better.

Obama sketch

 This is a sketch of Obama that I drew to practice with the human head. Doesn't he look happy? ;)

 photo sketch

This is a crappy sketch of what I drew for my Studio Drawing 2 class. I feel like it should be redrawn for my class because I know I can do better.

pear sketch again

I decided to redraw my pears again because I wanted to experiment with distortion, shading and better capturing of my environment around what I'm drawing. You see, the background of the pear photo had shades of grayish white. Hopefully this is a much better improvement.

That's just it for now folks. Good night!

Diving into spring break!

 pear drawings

 This is a pair of pears that I drew based off my Art Professor's website. Nice to know that my shading is getting better, but I think I may redraw this.

shapes practice

Again, I decided to redraw the shapes sketch so I can work on the details of each shape, based off the photo.

Burnes Hogarth arm

 Nothing much to say about this; this was just for practice.

Rejected Mad Love Cover

 As seen in the Bruce Timm edition of Modern Masters, this was one of the rejected covers for Mad Love and other stories. I felt compelled to draw this so I can take what I learned from my art class and apply it to this cover. I like how I got a good angle on Harley's figure-- though some things still need a bit work.

Haha! Gotta love the Joker's reaction XD

Mr Freeze sketch

Again, this image was also taken from Modern Master's interview with Bruce Timm.

Just looking from a glance, this piece almost looks perfect; but if you look closely in the Helmet area, you can tell one problematic error. I'm posting it here just to keep record of how I did.

But again, I like how I'm applying what I've learned from my art class and putting it into good use. It shows I'm really getting there. :)

Amelia meets Dexter

Hah! Like most of you youngsters growing up, I excessively watched Dexter's Lab. It was one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Here, he's encountering one of my own characters, Amelia Enmity and it seems that some old habits never die. ;)

However, I think Amelia could be better. Something about her legs don't seem to work. It's like, they're there, but they're not properly drawn in her skirt area.

 

Ork, Glork N Spork storyboards

Now that I have spring break, I can finally resume my storyboard work for my Alien Nation promo I intend to put together. I think this time, the trio are really starting to pop out. I mean look at the shadowing on the characters, it seems like they're really coming alive.

That's all for now folks. Until next time, stay sharp. ;)
