Presentation

I have been talking to students about the need to think about how they will present their work. Many of them just show one image on a page no title or anything. I think that is ok for sketches and internet blogs, but when submitting work professionally it helps to think about how the work gets presented. I gave some examples but some of them are still struggling it seems so I did this today to quickly demonstrate. They are redesigning Jekyll and Hyde so I stayed on assignment.

Couple of sketches from the past few days

I am working at remembering to post more often. (Not that I think anyone is actually looking that often.) One of the harder things now is time to try and post to all social media sites. FB, Pinterest, Blog, BeHance, would I tweet this stuff to?  If anyone know some good software to allow one push to all platforms I would be happy to hear it.

Sketch for today. Steampunk Spiderman

Morning warmups......................well afternoon is more like it

Kids are sick and so is wife, so I really did not get to have any time to draw until later in the day. Still have to warm up though.

Be blessed everyone.

Wine Lover

Just finished this one. Plan is to have three others so there is a series of images about wine and or drinking for a possible showing next year.

Dresden Files

I have been reading this series of books non-stop for at least a year now. I was late finding them but I think I have read each book at least 6 times now. (there are 14 in the series)

Harry Dresden, Wizard of the White Council, Winter Knight and Warden.

If you have never heard of the series, go get it. Written by Jim Butcher.

Vector Painting

I wanted to show my students some techniques with Adobe Illustrator. Seems the hardest thing for them to grasp is the layer and shapes used in illustrator.

Stinky Final

Finished this, my wife was happy and somewhat upset...........not sure why.

Just kidding, she liked it, and asked for a family portrait. I explained that this IS a family portrait and she gave me a look.......

Little bit of progress

Almost there......

Not gonna change it..........

When my oldest son was born I was working from home and doing the stay at home Dad gig. I loved it. Even with the olfactory dangers. When my second son was born I helped as much as I could even wjorking a regular job.  With my third however..........well, he is almost 2 years old now and I think I have changed maybe.......MAYBE, 3 to 5 stinky diapers. I have changed lots of wet ones but, well I have shirked the stinky responsibility on my lovely and patient wife. Even my older boys know the routine. Smell a dirty? "HEY, let's go play somewhere else......"

Should be finishing this one soon.

Character Turnaround

Still need to work on the hands a little, but it is a solid rough pencil.

Expressions

Working through the process. Showing students some idea about acting through shapes and features.

Something from the classroom..

I created a  character for the students to work on this quarter. They get to come up with their own designs. But while I was showing them how to play with body shapes I sketched out a nice one and had to finish it over the weekend.

I little more before bed

So I really don't know if I am done with this one.

Guess I will see what it looks like after some sleep.

Here is the update.....

Something new to start the year off with.
