My Girl....

Here's little sketchy color drawing of my daughter..Chloe.. I didn't quite manage to capture her beauty.. Still finding coloring in sketchbook a struggle.. Maybe I'll actually keep working on this.. And finish it... Anyway.. Have a good weekend!!

The Kyle Marshall Summer '06 Line.....

New to the Kyle Marshall Summer 2006 Signature Collection is this lovely number that Kyle has called "Midnight Waltz" Notice the fine gold trim and detail work with matching gold crinoline underlay. The flowery touches make this dress scream summer. Kyle is also drawing attention to the matching shoes.. Flats of course. In case an impromptu romantic dance should ensue. Kyle will soon be taking orders for his entire Summer line. Quantities are limited.
Pre-Order now!! (Army green hat is optional.)

Warm Up drawings...

Here's some warm up drawings I did this morning in Alias Sketchbook to get loosened up. The top one is one of my Co-Workers Troy.. This is how I imagine he'd abuse his magical powers if he was at Hogwarts ;).. The bottom drawing is another Co-Worker.. Kyle.. It's the first thing I drew in Alias Sketchbook.. Awwww... Isn't that special... Welll not really.. He just happens to sit beside me.. So he gets drawn from time to time ;) It seems Sketchbook is really condusive to the fast and messy way I draw.. That's my main problem in Flash.. I'd draw something fast and loose.. and it'd look like a big mess of solid color.. Yay Sketchbook!! Have good weekend !!..

More Alias Sketchbook & Potter...

Here's another Little quick Potter doodle I did in Sketchbook.. I started to color it.. then stopped.. I don't think I like the drawing that much.. So I probably won't finish coloring it.. But here's the sketch and as far as I got with the coloring.. Not much... But all I have.. And I know i'll get shit from Kyle and Troy for drawing more Harry Potter "Fan Art".. But I don't give a crap.. ;) I think I really like sketchbook for drawing now.. Still not that used to coloring in sketchbook though... But gimme a few more hours on some weekends and I should be able to fumble my way through something.....

Alias Sketchbook...

Recently tried Alias Sketchbok.. Great drawing program.. Just starting to mess around with it. Here's a little quickie doodle I did with it.. avec horrible fast coloring too.. I started reading Harry Potter book 6 this morning... So Snape was what came out when I sketched... Program will still take some getting used to.. But I like being able to do these Super quick crappy drawings and not having to scan them in order to post.. Altough.. I should probably stop posting my fast crappy drawings.... unfortunately.. They're all I draw lately....

Misc. Doodles....

These are some doodles I did while waiting for renders.. or any other precious seconds of time I can grab to sketch.. Nothing much.. Just some Sketches.. They're all over the place from a drawing of my wife and a gesture of chloe.. to severus snape. Oh.. and a doodle of my director that I did while on the phone with him... That speaks to how mindless these are... Think absent minded phone doodles.... No real thought or anything behind any of them.. just mindless drawings to keep my pen or pencil moving around my sketchbook.. I feel like I really need to do some actual drawing sometime. We'll see if that ever happens. Til then...You'll have to make due with these "drawings"....

Sichuan Takin.......

Well.. I don't ususally post more than one a day.. At least not in a long time.. And I hate to drive those beautiful Sargent drawings further down the page... But I just found a really interesting animal over lunch.. I was searching for gorilla images (so expect to see more gorilla related posts again) and I came across an image of a Sichuan Takin... Very strange & cool animal... My first thought was... This looks exactally like the beast in disney's beauty and the beast... So I had to do a quick drwaing of it.. Do a search for them.. they're neat. they're considered a national treasure in China.. Which is the only place they are know to inhabit.. Or that's what I understood from the blurb that was on the page where i found the images...

John Singer Sargent.....

Hey.. I have nothing new to post myself.. So I thought I'd post some drawings from one of my biggest artistic influences.. John Singer Sargent. Ever since I first saw his paintings and drawings I was amazed at all the usual things that amazes me with great artists.. What structure.. What Knowledge of form... Such Confident draftsmanship.. But what really got me about Sargent.. probably more so than most other artists.. was the energy in his work.. You can see the kinetic brush strokes in his paintings.. And they add soo much life.. And his charcoal sketches had so much flow and life.. He didn't mess around.. You won't see alot of scribbley hatchey lines tryng to find the form.. Mostly just big bold confident strokes. To me... He drew like an animator would... His work continues to amaze me.. And I just wanted to share it with the few people who drop by this blog. All these images were found online a few years ago.. If you google his name.. you can find some interesting pieces. Enjoy!.
