Just Had to Make Something

Been kinda down lately, discouraged, etc. Just felt like creating something kinda rustic.

Demo Storyboard Panels

I'm trying to join a staryboarding agency and in the process, they want me to do some demos panels for them. They really like clean lines and realistic drawings. Most storyboards are much more sketchy and unfinished, but they like a somewhat polished look. I worked a little more with the background and grey tones in the apple picker one. Here is what I did for them.

Figure Study Madness!!!

In preparation for storyboarding, I've been honing figure skills using references from Shutterstock.com. It's a great way to work with technique, build accuracy and better yourself in general. Nothing too crazy or action packed here, but it's a necessary step for me. Action packed shots will be coming shortly though :D

Beast

Not much development on this particular drawing. I kinda just wanted to draw the human figure a little. Not much in the way of design or clothing or intent.. but whatever. Messing around with filters some more. I like filters. Filters are nice. 

More thought out stuff to come! Probably!

The Fighter

The Fighter.

Wanted to take filters to the limit... Let's just say I like how it turned out.

Sai Saotome

A drawing I did for [link]

Messing around with the style a bit more, something of a messy feel to it but I think it works pretty well. Fun draw 

More to come!

Darkly Dreaming Dexter

Drawing 30 in my sketch a day series! I reached my goal!

I had to end on a strong note, so I picked a badass subject and a badass style. Still working with textures and learning all kinds of digital painting techniques but this one is a fav of mine. Can't wait for the new season to come! Oh, and this is my halloween costume btw. Everyones favorite serial killer. 

More to come! Periodically..

Beard Mode Activate

Drawing 29 in my sketch a day series!

I wanted to test out a new style and mix it up a little with some textures. I think it turned out well. I'm not great at coming up with background ideas, it's always sorta plopped on last minute.. so maybe I could work on that. But, overall I like the style of this one.

One more to come!

Legend of Korra Storyboard pt4

Drawing 28 in my sketch a day series!

Well I only have a couple days left for my sketch a day series.. and I thought I should work on a few other things. The Legend of Korra storyboard has been fun though! I may come back to finish the fight one day.. or maybe mtv studios will find me a job and you'll see it on tv! Who knows. Until then.. will team Korra be bested by this mysterious super bender!? Is he really that skilled!? Is he friend or foe!? Find out next time!

More to come!

Legend of Korra Storyboard pt3

Drawing 27 in my sketch a day series!

Stiiiilllll working with the Legend of Korra storyboard.. but diggin it. I wanna get in some action before I move on to something else. It's just getting good!

More to come!

Legend of Korra Storyboard pt2

Drawing 26 in my sketch a day series!

Continuing with the storyboard for Korra. I think it's coming together pretty well, it's meant to be a little rough, though. If anything, it's a little too finished.. but I can't help but put a little time into it. I'll probably work in a few more pages or so.

More to come!

Legend of Korra Storyboard

Drawing 25 in my sketch a day series!

This is the first part of a Legend of Korra storyboard I'm creating. Viacom is looking for storyboard artists for this show as well as some others and I'd love to work on them. So, I'm showing them I am capable of handling the Legend of Korra storyboarding job by making a Legend of Korra storyboard. The story is just something I made up based on what I know about the second season.

More to come!

Woman Chillin

Drawing 24 in my sketch a day series!

I wanted to try something a little different with this one, so it's kind of a sketchy, painty mix. I think it turned out alright, not great but not too bad. Maybe something to work on. 

More to come!

Chi Blocker

Drawing 23 in my sketch a day series!

I'm continuing with the Legend of Korra theme one more time, this time with a chi blocker. They're these completely badass muh f@#$ers that are like these industrial ninjas with ball on rope weapon things that they're aces with. So I drew one.

More to come!

Cie - The Earthbender

Drawing 22 in my sketch a day series!

Introducing Cie, an earthbender! I felt like sticking to the Legend of Korra theme (especially since Viacom is looking for character designers). I wanted to shade it but I just ran out of time. I'm really happy with how it turned out, though. The proportions look good and she has an overall badass kinda feel which I like. I think I'll switch up the style for tomorrow.

More to come!

Legend of Korra

Drawing 21 in my sketch a day series!

So, I was applying for jobs when I came across several for Nickelodeon. One was for The Legend of Korra, a very cool action show acting as a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. I would love that job. So it couldn't hurt to do a piece for the show. I need to create some more finished looking pieces for my portfolio also.

More to come!

Finished Caddy Storyboard

Drawing 20 in my sketch a day series!

Just finishing up the cadillac storyboard. I think it was good practice and turned out pretty nice. A little more detail than needed but whatever. The story was just something I made up.. it's so so I guess.

Some more finished pieces are to come though!

Cadillac Commercial Storyboard

Drawing 19 in my sketch a day series!

Well, I have my computer back up and running and should start pumpin out more finished works again.

I wanted to work on some more storyboards to build something of a portfolio and thought a commercial one would be nice. I spent waaaayy too long on the panels but they look really nice. I'll probably add the last two pages tomorrow.

More to come!

Female Sketch

Drawing 18 in my sketch a day series!

I just got my computer back this evening (so fast!) and have been transferring hella data as well as upgrading to mountain lion. I also had a blistering migraine ( numbness, Los of vision, vomiting and headache.. It was a blast), so it was a fairly quick sketch.

Just kinda working with the female form some more and sketching some pages of facial expressions. I'm itching to get back to different styles of digital painting though.

More to come!

Painting Study

Drawing number 17 in my sketch a day series!

Good news! Borrowing my roommates laptop for some stuff.

I want and need to get better at digital painting so I did a fairly quick work. No reference, just messin around. I could've worked longer on it but it was getting late. Needs more variation of color and a few other things but it's a step in the right direction.

More to come!

Sick Sketch

Drawing number 16 in my sketch a day series!

So, my computer went in for repairs today and won't be back for 3-5 days.. So I guess I'm going old school for a little while. I've also been kinda sick and blah lately.. So todays drawing is a bit lackluster.

More to come!

Hate Monster

Drawing 15 in my sketch a day series! Halfway done!

I wanted to do some more sketching lately and was coerced by a friend to let my anger out.. and from a fairly recent even primarily.. this popped out.  So I'm callin it a hate monster. I always enjoy a messy sketch though. I might color it for tomorrow or focus on something else, not sure yet.

More to come!

DOTT Storyboard

hmm.. just head here for the drawing of the day..

Domain of the Transcended Storyboard

Drawing number 14 in my sketch a day series!

My computer holds on a little longer!

This is sort of a continuation from the previous days. I'm working on refining my process and technique of storyboarding. I think it's coming along well and I'm pretty happy so far. I'll probably continue this storyboard but with a few other illustrations added here and there.

More to come!

Sketches

BAD NEWS!
My computer hard drive is crashing. The replacement was ordered and it should be fixed in a few days, but until then my computer is almost completely unusable :(

Drawing 14 is just some figure studies. Here's a page of it.

Domain of the Transcended p1

Drawing 13 in my sketch a day series!

This is the first page of the storyboard segment I'm creating for a story I'm creating. I want to get a feel for storyboarding so I can develop my preferred method of it and hopefully find a job doing it. I'll probably switch up how I do things with future storyboards.

Storyboard Panel 1

Drawing 12 in my sketch a day series!

This is a preview of a storyboard I'm creating of an original story I am also making. I'll have at least the first page of panels tomorrow along with a brief section of the plot. I want to apply for some storyboard jobs and kinda need some storyboard material if I wanna get it :P I think it'll turn out pretty cool though..

More to come!

The Owl

Drawing number 11 in my sketch a day series!

I was originally thinking this would be more designy, but it turned into a great texture study piece. Still has a bit of a design feel to it, but kinda realistic.. It wasn't too tough to make and was pretty quick but still fun. 

More to come!

Walter White

Drawing number 10 in my sketch a day series! Double Digits!

I felt like doing something kinda simple today. I was a bit under the weather from a rather rambunxious night last night.. ahem.. So I thought a caricature type drawing would be fun and relatively quick. Breaking bad is the latest and greatest thing on TV right now so I chose Walter White. America's favorite meth cook :D
