Khaleesi (sort of) and process…

shane — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:45:11 +0000

Being a fan of Game of Thrones I wanted to try my hand at drawing a realistic picture of Khaleesi. I spent a little longer on this portrait than I usually do… I think this one came in at about 7 hours from start to finish. Although I didn’t capture her likeness as well as I would have hoped, I did however learn to push the app I was using (Sketch Club) in order to get the more out of it.

Here is the final image:

Red

My latest Sketch Club iPad drawing… trying to figure out a way to get more of that “painterly” look to my digital art. Not there yet, but I did pick up a couple of tricks along the way.

Kato in Light

I was trying out a few new brushes in the Sketch Club app… trying to see if I can mimic light and create different textures on this picture of Kato (referenced from a photo of her from one of her sites)

I love drawing her.

Winter Girl

Winter has been pretty easy so far in Toronto. Last weekend I saw people outside in shorts.

Here is a quick drawing I did over a couple of days in the mornings before I started work…

2012 Art Dump…

shane — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:55:14 +0000

In many ways, I am glad 2012 is finally over. It’s been a rough year… but all that is behind me I hope for the most part. There were some amazing things that did happen albeit overshadowed by the no so amazing events… I’ve branched out and met some wonderful new friends. Reconnected with a lot of family and friends from old. As well, after a lack luster effort on my part at the last Toronto ComiCon, I’ve started setting aside time every day to draw and improve what I do.

Below are the final images I finished and forgot to upload here … or are WIP’s that I am calling “done” only because I want to start on something new. The majority of the reference came from one of Kato’s pages… www.steampunkcouture.com or www.facebook.com/steampunkato

Marceline the Vampire Queen

I just finished this drawing fan art image of Marceline on my iPad. I love how the creators of the show are willing to change things up, not only within the world itself, but also with the characters. The very fact that there are X number of different hair and clothing styles for Marceline alone impresses me so much. I will be drawing her again for sure… reference is off Kato’s site www.steampunkcouture.com
