DrawJam Week #7 | Yakuza Gangster | 11.21.13

For Draw Jam this week the theme was "Gangsters" or more like "Gangstas." I guess drawing that Asian face influenced me to draw more of a Yakuza gang underling. I kinda don't like how tight the the drawing is, or how the colors turned out, but practice is practice! I was going for a desaturated yet colorful palette. Kinda turned out but I didn't try any skin color.

Asian Guy

I drew this guy for practice. The reference had this really soft but defined lighting that really pulled the features of this guy face out, so  I decided to try and draw him to practice anatomy and facial construction. The more faces I draw, the better. Just so happens that this guy is Asian.

Daily Doodles | 11.18.13

Some doodles I've been scratching away at on a daily basis, whenever I get a spare minute or two. Not claiming they're any good, but I really am trying to get into the habit of just constantly drawing all the time. I do like my double-brained old Jedi Master guy though.

Tough Guy

I drew this guy based on a reference picture of some older guy in an advertisement. My drawing turned out to be about 20 years younger. Then I decided to paint the dude in Photoshop. I'm completely new to color theory stuff, in fact, I barely have much theory at all. But I kinda like how he turned out. He definitely has a Wolverine look, even though that's not really what I was going for when I drew him, ha. Time for bed.

Lunch Doodles | 11.12.13

Mmm tasty. Sketched my dinner before I ate it yesterday. Not as easy as it looks. I sketched this in my daily sketchbook then colored it for about 10 minutes in Photoshop. This picture is the only evidence this sandwich ever existed. Washed it down with some chocolate milk.

Cabbie Colored

Decided to just go ahead and color him tonight. I was kinda going for a look as if he's look at a car or is standing in front of a streetlamp or something, pretty noire-ish. Another color exercise as I literally have zero experience in that department. Fun to to do though, it's exciting to see linework pop when you add value and color!

DrawJam Week #5 | Cabbie| 10.24.13

I drew this random guy for this week's DrawJam. We really didn't have a theme this week as it was last minute, but we all ended up drawing some cool stuff anyways! But yeah, I ended up drawing this cabbie lookin' guy. Gonna drive you through the mean streets of New York under the city streets. I might get around to painting him just for practice.

Space Conscript Color

I decided to go ahead and try to color this guy in Photoshop. I don't really understand how different brushes and tools mix together in photoshop quite yet, but this was a fun exercise in color and it was basically what I was going for: that cold, hard, "I've-killed-dozens-of-people" vibe.

Desert Kamel

A giant robot camel lumbering across the desert. Something cyberpunky I doodled up late at night. Spent way too much time on this. First I did an underdrawing of a camel, then I went back over that light sketch and tried to put in some cool angular forms and structures. I also added in a little cross-legged traveler to help show scale. I think this sucks, but it was a good exercise. I haven't drawn either robotic forms like these or animals, really. Draw draw draw.

Weekend Doodles 11.2.13

A couple of quick doodles I did during conventions at university. Trying to show better form and construction of the head with some quick character drawings. Also, random welding mask designs.

Stumped | Roth - Character Progress 2

More progress on my Roth character sculpt! I'm not touching his face or his hair anymore, so the only thing left to model is his helmet. And eyeball, eventually.
