The King's Royal Ace

Another sketchbook drawing and Photoshop finish. I really like this "King's Royal Ace" maybe, I'll do a bunch of them just for fun.

King's Royal Scepter

Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and everyone, but me, seems to have left for home. I'm leaving tomorrow. With everyone gone, I decided to walk to Utrecht Art Store and buy a nice new Moleskin sketchbook. Then, I sat down and sketched it up. I really like this sketch, so I scanned it and played around in Photoshop. Here she is. Happy Thanksgiving!

Crazy Nazi Scientist

So, I went home around a week ago, and I found my mom had put all the artwork that was under our couch in my bedroom. Let me tell you, that couch accumulated a lot of artwork. I spend like an hour and a half going through it and looking at all the old drawings. There were drawing from my brother and me. It was GREAT! I found this sweet drawing my brother did a long time ago when he was in high school. This sweet guy in a spaceship with like squid legs. I really wanted to draw my own rendition of him, so I did...well I am working on it.

Drawing by: Ryan Eggebrecht
(My inspiration)

When I started sketching my version, I thought the guy Ryan drew was a mad scientist. I started sketching out a crazier looking scientist. Then, I thought that the Nazi's had crazy scientists trying to create crazy weapons and things. Anyway, that is how I thought they were portrayed in movies, right! So, I decided to turn him into a Nazi scientist.

Sketches

Final Line Drawing

I wasn't sure what medium to finish him in. I thought about paint, either acrylic or gouache. My teacher told me gouache, but I ended up just going digital. So, after scanning the line drawing in, I did a couple value studies.
Then, after picking the value study I like the best, I overlayed color in Photoshop, so it would still look ruffly and have that same value if desaturated. I decided to go with the bottom one. I really like the red squid legs for some reason.
I am just now working on finalizing the color study. I need to go into it more and add some textures, highlight, and shadow. There is still lots of work that needs to be done. I should have it finished by next week. Hopefully! I am also working on finalizing two other projects that I will post later when I have more progress done. So PEACE!

Mech Sketches

These are some Mech Warriors that I drew a couple of days ago. They aren't really for anything. I think I might use them later on and do a final drawing. I really wish I could model in 3d better, so I could model Ishtar with that sweet ass horn. Well hope you enjoy.

The Candle Man

In my Object Drawing class, we had to use an object that omits light and transform the object into something interesting. I really liked the idea of merging a human with a candle. I really liked the way old light bulbs look. I started just going crazy with my sketchbook. I spent a couple of days working out ideas.

Then, I made a pencil drawing of it. Instead of doing just a line drawing, I decided to fully render it with pencil and then color over the value in Photoshop.

Amelia Earhart Crash

For my Inventive Environments class, we had to illustrate a jungle seen with Amelia Earhart's crashed airplane. I had a hard time with my sketches, figuring out different angles and making them interesting. I didn't do too many sketches, but eventually, I got one I liked.


Then, I started hammering away at it. I scanned it and worked in Photoshop. I started to really detail the scene. Then, I decided to back off and work from a distance and detail less.

Welcome to the "PIT"

This is the Pit there you fall endlessly and never find a path out. If you don't keep your mind in control, the Pit will control you and forever take over your life. Be wise and stay focused!

Welcome to my Illustration Blog. I see lots of students have these blogs for their artwork, so I decided what the Hell, why not. This is my Illustration Blog where I'll post sketchbook drawings and final work. I hope to keep this updated.

Check me out, and Mom, I'm really doing it... Yea!!
