last rough sketch for competition


one of my favorites, but decided to go with an earlier, more stylized version due to time retraints. may develop this one further, someday.

another rough


a different direction...

Friday, August 8, 2008

another contest rough


bit more tribal looking. straight on view, easier to develop ideas at this angle vs struggling with a more difficult pose.


new life drawing


from last night, about 2 hrs draw time. much better than my last one IMO. I find the more I do it, the more successful my results. if I miss a week or two its almost like starting over.


gotta work in more colour. one step at a time i guess.

another rough


tried a lightly different approach on this one
