Quick Sketch..

Updates, Updates

Figured I would post an update since it's been a while. I haven't really worked on much outside of work and most of my sketches are getting posted over at the Sketch Saloon so there really hasn't been much to post. But don't take that as I am not keeping busy... on the contrary I am busier then ever and loving it. I am hoping to get back on track with working on some projects soon, especially getting to that long held off project of revamping my website. So if anyone knows any blog style templates or ways of making a blog site besides using Blogger or Wordpress I would love to hear them.

Here's a colored sketch I posted over at the saloon.

Passed Out Color

With all my sketches going to the saloon and all my work models being unpostable I haven't had anything to really post on here. Guess I will just have to stick with coloring my doodles till something comes along.

Graveshift Color

Still not happy with it, seems like it's missing something..

Git back in yur box!

Because of all my drawing lately, some friends and I made a new daily doodle blog. I'll be posting most of my pencil drawings over there.

Young Boy Colored

Still drawing...

Girl Colored

Some more coloring...

Young Boy

At some point when I was drawing I cracked my pencil right up the side. Now I am scared to press to sharply because the whole thing might explode.

Colored

Haven't colored in Photoshop in a while, this was a nice refresher.

Little Girl

Another sketch I did while waiting for the computer.

Sweeps

Work has gotten busier so I haven't had time to model. Luckily the current project has a lot of waiting around time while the program calculates so I was able to get some drawing in.

B. Coon

Sort of a raccoon beaver mix, hence the B. Coon title.

No luck in the job hunt so far...I get the feeling I may have to force myself into factory work again. I do not look forward to the 11hr 6 days a week schedule. I wind up so exhausted that even thinking seems tiring. So there probably won't be many updates if that happens.

Just have to keep trying I guess.

Drawing Classes

I wanted to take some figure drawing classes, or just find a workshop to go to. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any decent ones in the area. I did go and meet the instructor to some classes that are about 45 minuets away without traffic. The classes themselves sounded good, but the drive was a bit to much...way to many highways and the traffic was pretty bad. The new semester for the county college start in a month or so, I hope they will be offering something.

I also need to find my scanner...

Rat

Been a bit busy for the past week with job searching. So here is a small doodle I made while at an employment class last week. For some reason whenever I get a pen I can't draw anything but these thick lined animals.

A little more...

Been busy for the past few days, so I only got some more shading and cleaned it up a little.

Erosion

My modeling port is coming along slowly. While waiting for one of the many renders I started doodling. Once again I need to plug in my scanner because my webcam doesn't really do the sketch justice. Not that there is much to it, but still it's a very low quality picture.

Only a doodle.

So I have been trying to catch up with sketching since I have't done much recently. Unfortunatly it seems all this lazeing around has really gotten to me. The only somewhat decent sketch I could come up with was this doodle I made in my sketchbook. Unfortunatly the scanner is down again so I had to use my webcam to get it onto the computer...and my photoshop skills didn't help it much.

Well, hopefully with my new freed up schedule I can hopefully brush up on my skills and get to working again.

Fishtank

The job search is taking a it longer then I want, mostly because there is a lack of studios in my area to apply to. So I decided I need to revamp my portfolio and web page and fast. I want to make a generalist 3D reel and add a graphic design page to my site. Actually I want to redesign my site entirely to something a bit more simplistic.

I also started working on an idea for a small flash project I want to do. Its just an image with a small looping animation. Hopefully I can get it done before this weekend. The 3D clock pendulum scene has run into a few problems with the volume fog and the chain rigging. I am going to have to play with that a bit more before I get it right.

Anywho, here are some concepts I did for the flash picture, I hope it comes out as cute as I see it in my head.

Animal Sketches

Some pages for my flatwork port. I just found a whole bunch of animal drawings I had done a while ago. Looking at these reminds me on how much I need to work on line quality. I hate when some people can draw a scribble and it still looks like the most amazing scribble in the world, and then there are people, like me, who try to draw something and it just looks like a plain 'ole scribble.

Yeah...yet another thing for the 'to do list.'

Surfur Girl

So I was scrambling around trying to gather all my doodles, drawings, scribbles and any other flatwork I could find. I ripped all the pictures off the walls and scoured all the sketchbooks I had from the past few months trying to put a decent flatwork portfolio together. I still don't have any decent gesture drawings, though I have plenty of animal sketches.

I put together a bunch of my surfer girl drawings, she seems to be everywhere in my sketchbooks at the moment.
