Sketches

Here is a couple of sketches I drew over the weekend...

Mopar Monster Muscle

Spider-Man 2.0

More often than not I find myself doing a lot of these quick sketch portraits just to stay loose. I like them because I get away from my computer and get back to my roots. When I was a teenager my buddy Justin and I ,when we weren't out skating, would sit at the kitchen table draw for hours like this. They only take anywhere from 5-30 minutes depending on how involved I want to be.

There is a special topics digital painting class being taught a UVU this summer (2011). I couldn't take it but the ever so talented Don Seegmiller (instructor) and My buddy Stewart Craig (fellow student) were kind enough to give me some of the assignments. So here is assignment 1 Alien head. Don's tutorials are amazing and I really felt like I learned a ton. I would love to try this one again...

Narnia

Drew this last night at my in-laws durning Sunday dinner. Of all the TMNT characters Raph was always my favorite. Cow-a-bunga!

Here we have my "descriptive self portrait" for my Digital painting class at UVU. The requirements for the assignment were that it had to be produced using only photoshop. It still has some problems but overall I'm happy with how it turned out. Pretty fun assignment.
