Sketchbook Update (Ink)

 This was a pin up I did just for fun, its a little rough and sketchy... Here I was referencing some work by Gil Elvgren, as I always do when working on anything that is Pin Up related. He has always been by far my favorite pin up artist. There is simply too much to be learned from him to not reference his work.

            This was just a quick anatomy study... Lately I've been really into torso studies.

 Here is some concept art for a character I designed... This was some pre production work for an animation I am working on. I really enjoy doing character design and working on concept work in general.

Here is some more torso anatomy, here I was studying some work by Stephen Rogers Peck.

Facebook Zombie

This is a piece I was commissioned to do by a friend of mine. Her idea was to do a satire poking fun at peoples obsession with Facebook. This was just a quick, simple illustration but it was a lot of fun to do.

Watercolor

I got a new Moleskine Watercolor sketchbook, thought I'd start a new sketchbook for the new year. This was a quick painting I did this weekend, it still needs some work. I used to do a lot of stuff like this when I was younger, ships and planes and stuff. Lately I've been kinda getting back into it.

Hand Study (Sketchbook)

Over this last winter break I worked on some hand studies... Here I'm referencing some work by Charles Bargue. Lately I spend most of my free time working on stuff like this and listening to The Black Keys or some other equally amazing band.

Here is an animation I did for my Character Animation class... I'm also submitting it for a competition at my school. Ive also attached a rough sketch of the character.

New Pin-Up Girl

This is a custom piece I was recently commissioned to do... I started with an ink drawing on toned paper, then I painted over it with watercolor. I really enjoy using this method for color work. Here I was referencing some beautiful photography by Carrie Leigh.

Anatomical Studies Of The Hand

Finally finished the hand studies in my anatomy book... This is charcoal on toned paper.
