Wicked Tree - Sketch

2011-09-11T23:12:00.000-07:00

Just a quick sketch I did the other day. I want to get back into illustrating soon, and maybe with some watercolor. Stay tuned.

Perched Upon a Bust of Pallas

2011-04-11T19:37:00.000-07:00

So here's a little bit of sketching I've done today. Eventually I'm going to get around to illustrating some Poe stories and poetry. This one is from the raven. But at the moment I'm working on doing some illustrations for Dracula, as I've almost completed reading the book! I have so many visuals and things I'd like to illustrate, but I think one of the first will be Lucy Westenra, her tomb, and as a vampire.

Also, I've recently finished a few pieces: Death, Castle of the Count, and The Cat and the Moon

The Cat and The Moon - Final Version

2011-04-05T14:14:00.000-07:00

I've drawn this twice before, but I think this may be my last time drawing it. I just wasn't satisfied with my last two attempts and felt that I had to keep trying different ideas. I feel this may be 'the one'. I plan to do it in watercolor and may add some ink, we'll see what happens as it progresses. This will also be my first time using Illustration board, rather than watercolor paper.

Here's the sketch so far, getting ready to start finalizing it on the illustration board:

Final Finished Piece

Alice's Dress

2011-04-02T16:28:00.000-07:00

Just a sketch of how I plan to draw Alice's dress from Alice In Wonderland. I want to read through the story and illustrate some scenes from it or at least some characters - but we'll see what happens in the coming days. So many stories and things I would like to illustrate.

Quick Landscape Sketches

2011-04-01T15:06:00.000-07:00

Did these today with some new Faber-Castell Brush Pens I bought. I'm definitely going to use them more in the future with sketches and things like that - great for planning out the contrast of a painting or illustration.

Practice Really Does Help

2011-04-01T11:16:00.001-07:00

Here's a picture comparing 30-second gestures that I've been doing. The one on top is from some months ago and the bottom two are from today. Big difference - of course the newer ones are drawn a little smaller but that's how I've adapted and learned to make them look better. I recently read in a good book - draw small, think big - and it helps.

Craniums

2011-03-26T09:45:00.000-07:00

Sketching up some heads and other things.

Went to Philly's Magic Gardens and the Aktion Gallery yesterday - both on South Street in Philadelphia, so if you're in the area, check them out!

I Bought a Bamboo Tablet

2011-03-18T21:21:00.000-07:00

So, I decided to order a Bamboo tablet and received it in the mail just yesterday. Definitely having fun with it and hope to learn a lot more with it. Here's some sketches I've done with it in the first 24 hours. I think I'm off to a pretty good start!

This last one is a quick sketch of a piece I'm working on called "The Cat and the Moon" - keep an eye out for it. It is inspired by a poem of the same name by William Butler Yeats. One of my favorites, so if you're into reading poetry or other stories - check it out.

Final - The Cat And The Moon

Sherlock Holmes - Work In Progress

2011-03-07T08:29:00.001-08:00

I have finally gotten around to doing an illustration of Sherlock Holmes. I read the first book back in December and have been wanting to do an illustration ever since. I'm reading Dracula at the moment and plan to do a bunch of work for that one in due time, as well.

I plan to add some ink after I get done with the watercolor, check it out so far.

Here's some of the line-work:

Final - Sherlock Holmes
