Lifedrawing spam for January

left Copic, right Smelly metal tube industrial strength marker. I was kinda dizzy by the end of the sketch.

pencil

ball point pen

My friend is a big bill sienkevich fan (so am I for that matter). But I did this as a “HAWHAW LOOKIT ME I’m Bill Sienkevich!” and just sorta stabbed the paper with nearly random bold strokes. kinda worked surprisingly well.

I was paint chatting with a friend o’ mine and I kinda liked this one.

Seriously…you guys suck.

Post some freaking art already!!

Here’s a little selection of the Indiana Jones sketch cards I did for Topps. Let’s see whether I get paid, or get the shaft like Kody did… These haven’t been approved by Lucasfilm yet, so no spreading them around. I did 101 single cards and four ‘panoramic’ (double-sized) sketch cards. They were fun, until they started interfering with deadlines and vacation.

Meanwhile, slackers, get to work. Post some damned art already.

OH EM GEE PEOPLEZ

The last post was in JUNE?!! Where the hell IS everyone? Is everyone checking in here every day or two and thinking, “Gee, no one’s posted anything new”? ‘Cos that’s what i’ve been doing.

So I’m gonna post something that’s terrible, awful, and shitty. I’m posting it so y’all can point, laugh, and feel better about your watercolor attempts. (This was one of maybe three times total that I’ve ever tried watercolors, and I cheated and used watercolor pastels.) This was from the Thursday night drawing class a few weeks ago, when we did a long 60-minute pose. And it’s total crap, but whatever, I’m posting it.

I know y’all have been drawing. Or sketching, at least. Post something!

FUSE sketches

dave — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:36:49 +0000

I was at FUSE last night, a semi-regular all-night event at the Vancouver Art Gallery where they basically turn the whole place into a disco. It seemed like a bad idea to me, having tons of drunks running around the artwork (drinks not allowed into the actual galleries, but nothing stopping people from pounding back 10 glasses of plonk in the outer rooms, and then staggering into the exhibit halls.)

Anyway, because this FUSE took place during the KRAZY! comic exhibit at the gallery, we comic guys took over the east wing on the 4th floor for a big 12 hr comic jam. I brought the Cintiq to get some work done, and try painting for fun. Things got crazy around 11-midnight, when all the boozy party goers started hanging out with us and drawing etc.
Everything ended up getting shut down 3 hrs early at 3am, after some guys got caught shooting up, and some drunk punched some artwork. Woo! Good times.

Anyway, here are 2 of the quickie pics I doodled during the evening.

**edit: My scared bear looks a little like Dean in the entry below. Haw.**

small sketchbook

Scott was sayin’ he doesn’t just draw out in public. I just realized it’s probably because he doesn’t have a tiny sketchbook like the one I use.

that crow was sitting in one of those furnace vent chimney things. It was super cute.

Still lifedrawin’

just been to lazy to re-install scanner software on my new machine ’till today.

Got sick of the same old pencils and copics so I started trying out some new stuff.

Chalk pastel. I like how it looks but, they suck ass because they get all over your hands like charcoal… which also sucks ass. Smeary powders on my hands really bother me… Welcome to my neurosis.

Oil Pastel. muuuch more my style.

Watercolor pencils. OH MY GOD WHY DIDN’T SOMEONE TELL ME ABOUT THESE THINGS YEARS AGO SO AWESOME.

OH yeah, steph bought a bunch of Color copics. Maybe I’ll try these out. neat.
