Gallery of Terror!!!

This be my submission for the Gallery of Terror at UVU. It seems most of the other submissions I've seen have a humorous twist to them. I decided to go very traditional and do a foaming zombie, no joke, no twist, just a mean ugly zombie. Sketch done in pencil and then inked and colored with copic markers. Pretty fun.

Summer of Sketching

    (I almost titled my post "Summer sketching" but realized that might imply a certain musical that I don't care to EVER reference.)

  This summer I did a lot of sketching but very little completed work. I poured over my sketching I did at church, in front of the tv, and elsewhere to put together some of my favorites from these last few months.

   These were done in a variety of mediums: felt tip pen, brush pen(LOVE brush pen!), and pencil. Some came from my head and others from interesting speakers at church (like the mustache guy who always looked angry). Hope you enjoy them, definitely more posts to come during this next semester.

Sketchy to Color

Just finished a late night project that is due in 7 hours (I'll post it later). Since I'm up here's something:

I sketched this in my Illustration class from Fall 2011, going for a Mike Mignola style. Threw it in Photoshop and came out with:

Just some color and mood.

Let me know what you all think, if I get comments I promise I'll post more regularly.

Been awhile...

Hey all,
Getting back into it with much more things to post, starting with this number I did for a Halloween assignment:

Even Death needs groceries

Simply black and white prismacolor pencils on toned paper. It was a fun piece to do. More to come.

Jan 5-8 Daily Sketch

I found this awesome reference/gesture website http://www.pixelovely.com/portfolio/ (at the bottom of the page) where you can set some parameters about what images you want to see and how long you want to see them and it'll basically give you a slideshow which is great for quickly sketching some poses. I tried it for animals as you can see and went back and markered a few of them. I need to do more of these.

Jan 2-4

I found the perfect way to stay awake on those dreary Sunday meetings: Draw. These are some attempts with varying degrees of success and failure.


Here is a few days' worth on one page. I've noticed I tend to draw faces and people. Maybe I'll branch out eventually.

The start of something...January 1

So I'm gonna skip the been-a-long-time-posting crap and get back to it.
I set a resolution this year to draw every day. The idea was to post it here on this blog to add some incentive. Well I've done pretty well on my daily sketching and now I'm finally getting to the posting part so here comes a bunch of posts covering the last 3 months. Get ready...



The kid in the shirt and tie is from church I saw the week before. I was also watching Quantum of Solace so there's the Daniel Craig.
