Quick and Dirty

This sketch got a touch busy which can be cleaned up but it gives a good basis for an editorial piece.

I was under the influence of some cerebral interview podcasts and then some classical so my thoughts were drifting to bigger places...Which makes the hands tend to do the same.

Let's all parody some clowns everybody!

I think I'm being diplomatic with this latest series of sketches. I could really take a bite out if/when I need to.

I imagine I'll have to get to Sanders and Cruz at some point you know...just in case.

One More Today

another quick comparison sketch...


A Comp-hairison....

...so bad, I know.

A little notebook work




working on some more coloring book drawings. I'm also working these with an eye on developing a coherent voice of my own for my editorial stuff. I'm using this process to sharpen my perceptive skills regarding relationships in the political environment.


SO...

Three iterations on a theme. Not really what I was hoping for.
I used the wrong method to work up the sketches so it took too much time and I didn't get the characterization I had in my head.
The third is the closest but I will redraw to expound on the basic concept.


These two I really like as sketches and they will look great finished.

I used the correct method to work them up, don't know why I didn't do that before.
Probably stress and lack of sleep. BUT, no excuses.

These went a hell of a lot faster also so I'm happy about that.


Working on more of these from a lengthy sketchbook session.

I hope to have about 20 of the Trump/Clinton dynamic I can show off.

Coloring is a big deal right now

I've been working on my skills for coloring book drawings. Hopefully it will lead somewhere ;) Adult coloring books are a big deal right now.

I hope the trend will last awhile, it's right in my wheelhouse.

It's a lot harder than it looks to get the people looking right but this one I think turned out decent.



The image is public domain.

I can do this type of thing for animals, family portraits, or
what-have-you.


The same process applies for comic books from a movie or TV show or whatever. The character likenesses are what counts the most and we've all seen those that didn't turn out so great!



Don't forget to check out my other pages. I have tons of stuff that can be tailored to suit your needs!

Rework

I finally finished this one to my satisfaction. It read a lot better than before.

Reference follows:

They're Obie, Obie, and the Kam, Kam, Kam, KAM


I can go deeper than that folks...downright esoteric if you want...



Sue me suckers.

You can see the progression of this piece from crap to pretty decent on my caricatures page.

Dirty bugs...

Summer's coming up fast. Makes me think of sand, sun, water, and little mechanically inclined bugs.




Here is the PSA style poster I made out of the dung beetle copris nubilosus.

Hand drawn digital color, fit, and finish.

Beetle express rolls forward

Don't forget to like my facebook page and stop over at my web store where the in progress design below will be for sale of various products as well as many other great and funny designs.

I also post different things on FB so check it out!



Now that I've almost got all my tech issues sorted I have a little time to crank out some more work.


 Here's one of thousands of species of Dung Beetle.
Hand drawn and stippled. Digital color.
...to be part of a "clean your beaches" illustration i'm working on.

I like to include layers of meaning for those who are of the living and not the walking dead like so many seem to be these days.

This will be in the same style as my frog and other beetles at the web store.
