eeuuccch

2011-11-01T11:06:00.003-04:00

Quick sketch with some slapdash colour, made a bad mistake and watched the expendables, and curse my eyes for seeing the suit of veins that mr stallone wears in that.

Life drawings

2011-10-31T12:39:00.000-04:00

some very quick gesture drawings-been away from regular life drawing so pretty rusty still.

Warming up is hard to do!

2011-10-12T18:28:00.000-04:00

some random warmups-i like to draw for an hour, sometimes even a half hour-just scribbling or messing about before i start any real work-helps to loosen up before you do the important stuff

back to square one

2011-10-09T02:12:00.000-04:00

well finally back at life drawing again-gotten oh so rusty. Here are my very first sketches back-usually a minute pose to begin-i went 30 seconds on these to see if i could get down the essence of the pose as quicky as possible. Hopefully i get back into the swing of things more next week.

Action Mullet!

2011-10-02T14:17:00.002-04:00

And now you will give me the secret formula

2011-10-01T02:08:00.000-04:00

Warming up with Robocop

2011-09-04T07:28:00.000-04:00

always felt that robocop in that helmet must go about his business with a squished nose all day, no wonder he is shooting everyone-that kind of fashion choice just hurts.

Some warm ups

2011-09-03T12:34:00.002-04:00

Been far too long since i have been at life drawing, here are some quick sketches as i try and remember how to draw.

Long time no posting

2011-08-19T14:56:00.000-04:00

Well blog i have returned, been a while since upgrading my mac has meant photoshop and my ancient scanner don't work anymore-finally getting to putting back up work on here. Thanks for stopping by.

shoe fly, you bother me!

2011-07-08T20:30:00.001-04:00

some reference from some designs-what good is an action hero without appropriate footwear?

Facial Hair!!

2011-06-11T16:08:00.000-04:00

Alright so let me come clean-there is a reason i have been drawing so many dudes with sweet lip luggage,
so thats all cleared up now right???
Thanks for looking at the blog.

Heads Up!

2011-06-07T17:56:00.000-04:00

Been a little preoccupied lately but here is a warm up page for ya to make up for my lack of posting
All the best

warming up

2011-05-25T13:17:00.000-04:00

Saw a documentary last night called darkon-did some sketching while i did so, saw some tiny wee five year old yell curses at orcs in his living room and swing his plastic sword like a maniac-ahh-entertainment!

Doodle

2011-05-23T19:19:00.000-04:00

Quick sketch while i wait for Flash to reboot-will have some more significant posting happening in the next short while-little swamped for the moment-bear with me.

Warm up drawings

2011-05-19T00:33:00.000-04:00

some warm up drawings for today-nothing special just noodling about and getting my act together. Hoping that these get some of my set number of crap drawings out of the way for the day.

Copic Brush Pen

2011-05-13T20:36:00.000-04:00

Just some noodles from the old noggin to get the brain working. Love messing about with the copic brush pen, so smooth!!

Thor-some dude with a beard!

2011-05-09T13:40:00.000-04:00

This is what happens when my mate Pedro tries to describe what this Thor bloke is all about. I go and do sketches and have no clue whats going on. Think you might see a finished thor illustration here in a day or so-hmmm i know so very little about american comics. But i can sure as hell draw a bearded bloke!!
Enjoy

Heads Up!

2011-05-05T16:08:00.000-04:00

Well i haven't abandoned my blog, just been busy on stuff i can't post up here yet. Just so there are no hard feelings here are some warm up sketches of some heads and stuff.

Back to life drawing class

2011-04-22T11:55:00.000-04:00

Old Robotomy Design

2011-04-19T19:08:00.000-04:00

Here is an old Robotomy design i did for an episode that needed a massive mutant creature. Was a fun project that allowed me to do some wacky stuff and work with some pretty damn snazzy artists.

Flash warmup

2011-04-15T13:30:00.000-04:00

Heads Up

2011-04-11T23:31:00.000-04:00

2011-03-22T15:45:00.001-04:00

A blast from the past so to speak, some of the first designs i did before i knew the style of the show that would finally become Robotomy. Man i was so way off on the designs its funny to look back on.

speedy doodles

2011-03-22T15:19:00.000-04:00

spend about a minute on each drawing and then move on-its a nice way to warm up and get the brain in gear again, no clean up, no rubbers(erasers-for my american friends), just draw fast and dont look back.
