Practicing new techniques. Drew it in blue colerase, scanned and played around in Photoshop to get it to look like graphite.

Getting back to airbrush and posting on this blog. Good way to de-stress :-)

Quick sketchin'

Don't call it a comeback

2013-02-17T20:50:00.001-08:00

After a long absence. I'm back to drawing. I'll be posting more often.

Finally a new comission!

2011-05-24T00:02:00.001-07:00

After a long time without drawing I'm back. I recently received a commission for a man playing soccer. Here is the three step process I used. First I penciled the drawing, then I added some color pencil details, last is the finished airbrushed piece.

More Caricature Connection

2010-08-04T20:11:00.000-07:00

One the things I like about working with Caricature Connection is that guest sometimes ask you for things that are not "in the book" like this kid who wanted to be drawn riding Space Mountain with his weimaraner. At first I was a little intimidated with the request, but once I got into it, I rather enjoyed figuring out how to make it seem like he was riding Space Mountain, which is really dark, with out making the whole background black.

The second one is from "the book", but I liked drawing this girl. She had a fun face.

My first Caricature Connection post

2010-07-25T19:53:00.000-07:00

So after Edward's arts lost the contract in Citywalk. I needed a place to finish off the summer. They wouldn't take me back at Universal (long story), but thank God I found Caricature Connection. It's a different style of doing caricatures than I'm accustomed to. I have to draw body situations. There is a book where the customer can choose what they want to be doing, but we don't have to copy it. We are free to interpret they situation in our own way. Here are some examples of a few situations from the book as interpreted by me in my first month at Caricature Connection.

This one is from the first week or two. The girl's name is Zoe, which happens to be our dog's name so I drew our Zoey into the picture. I didn't tell the little girl that she has the same name as our doggy though.

This one is from my first day at Animal Kingdom. The girl wanted to be drawn as "Jungle Girl". Note the Tex Avery inspired lion.

This is the same pose and situation as the first one above (Roller Blading), but this girl was older so I caricatured the body too.

This last one is from today. Mermaids are one of the most requested and also one of my favorites to draw because it lets me have fun with the supporting animal cast. I prefer the mermaid on the rocks.

Sometimes caricatures make themselves...

Update from Orlando

2010-05-26T22:35:00.000-07:00

We've been in Orlando trying to work, but not having much success. At least we have been drawing more than we did in L.A.
So here are a few caricatures in various styles and media I did as samples.

Obama in Airbrush and Graphite

Reese Witherspoon in Pencil

Taylor Swift in Marker

Snookie in Pencil on tan paper
(Jersey Shore is a guilty pleasure of mine)

Ellen in Airbrush. This one brought us a little bit extra business when they were filming a couple of episodes of the "Ellen Show" at citywalk.

My lovely wife... Believe it or not she requested that I push the exaggeration. It's one of the many wonderful things about being married to her.

Quick little one of Al Pacino in Marker and Artstix.

Amy Winehouse

2010-02-23T14:17:00.000-08:00

Despite what ever problems she has in her personal life. Amy Winehouse has some cool music. I didn't listen to her for a long time, because I thought it was all hype, but when I heard her rendition of "Cupid", I was hooked. Now she's one of my favorite singer/artists of all time.

These are some studies of her face. Some funny some not.

This one is pre-implants.

The Three Stooges

2010-02-10T17:48:00.000-08:00

Although they are called stooges. These guys were comedy geniuses!

Big UFC post

Tomorrow is fight night. I wish I could watch. Since I can't here's sketches of some MMA rumbles. When I sit down and watch the fights I usually try to sketch for practice. It's great for actions, as well as interaction between two figures.

The face is Kenny Florian.

This one is Dan Hardy.

I think this one is from a Matt Hughes vs Matt Serra fight.

More Kenny Florian.

I forgot who this guy is, but he has a crazy jaw. Bigger than Leno!

(Update: I now know this is Pezão/ Bigfoot Silva)

and finally, my favorite to win tomorrow... Randy Couture.
