Drawing Jam: Rachel Dashae

Did this for the September Drawing Jam of model Rachel Dashae. Did this really to take a creative break from some mundane work I've been doing lately. Didn't have much time to work on this, but I was pretty happy with how it came out. Now back to work.

Dale Gas

I was recently commisioned by my brother and his softball team to come up with their team logo. Their team is called Dale Gas - the literal translation is "give it gas" but is a more acurately translated into the slag "step on it". Naturally I thought of some of the classic hot rod guys like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth for inspiration, and though the car design is about 90% borrowed form Mr. Roth, the gnarly one-eyed baseball-headed bat-totin' monster is 100% me.

Drawing Jam: Hayden Panettiere

This was done for the December Drawing Jam over at The Drawing Board (I know it's almost April, so sue me). I would like to revisit this piece and maybe do a digital inking, as brush pens are still kinda new to me....and her hands need work, I know.

Cafe Sketches

Some cafe sketches from the past couple of weeks

Memery Sketch part Deux

Went out with Patrick again yesterday to the Fox Hills Mall for some more lunchtime sketching fun. Spotted this older lady with a crazy hair-do walking rather slowly with a walking cane gettin a cup o' joe...she was a perfect subject for our memory sketch. Here is my take.

Since I have to get back to working right after my lunch break, what I like to do to get as much of the details fresh in my memory down on paper is try to get some quick roughs done, then take those home and do a finished piece on my own time. Here are some of my roughs for her.
