Sketching from class

Did some 5-minute pokemon-knockoffs and a whole batch of 60 - 90-second gestures.  Look really rough but I'm pretty sure if I keep knockin' them out I'll get better.  That's what I'm told.

New stuff!

  I don't usually do commissions, but when I do, I steal a seven year old internet meme to explain that I tried out vellum and a nib pen for the first time.  Used yesterday's tea to make the vellum yellow and gross. It is the blueprints for a World of Warcraft goblin zeppelin. A lot of inside jokes - slow work with the ink-dipping and no "undo" button, but I dig it.  Will try this kind of thing again.

Taking the Chris Oatley "Magic Box" course.

Take an old fancy portrait, study an animal, do some colour comps of the animal dressed up like the portrait-figure.   I give you a fancy tree kangaroo.





 Also some sketches from class - short studies of samurai and Kung Fu fighters.
