The Hunger Games

Some sketches of the characters from the Hunger Games series. Great books, if you haven't read them I highly recommend you give them a go. Especially before or instead of the movie, it was pretty flat.

Hope you like them, be back soon with a few more finished renditions.

a little colour

Decided to try some digital colours again since I seem to avoid doing them as much as possible. Sketching is good but I should probably "finish" something every now and then! Not that any of these is close to being finished :/

Threw up both the colour and the tones. Personally I like the tonal one better but when I really think about it I don't like either!

And some head sketches just to round things off.

Thanks for looking!

who the hell do you think we are?

Decided it was time to crack open the new sketchbook and draw something. So while I was watching watching the outstanding Gurren Lagann I did a little fan art of my favourite characters Kamina and Yoko! A special thanks to Karley for the inspiration/suggestion to watch the series!

If you want to check out the series you can watch it here: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

I have decided to do a lot more in the way of fan art since it was drawing comics that got me into this world in the first place. I am going to stick with the anime theme for a while and next up will be  a giant panda of sorts. If you have any requests for a particular character please pass them on!

As ever thanks for checking out the blog!

mermaid

A sketch from a few days ago that I really wanted to share with you all. Since it wasn't digital it forced me to FINALLY get the scanner installed on the Mac. After the latest move the ubiquitous and overly reliable Dell is finally starting to wear down and will likely need to be retired soon.

I have a few pages to put together and post from the sketchbook and thought this would be a good place to start. But keep checking back as I will post others with a little more regularity!

Hope you like and thanks for checking out the blog!

quality advertising

Typically I am the last person to a party but for once I am on top of a "trending" topic! In this case the lovely young lady that is the spokesperson for T-Mobile. Her name is Carly Foulkes and after hearing people raving about her (I don't have cable you see) I looked her up on Google and decided right away to draw a picture of her in her almost as famous dress.

Along the way I decided to challenge myself again to do some digital colours and I think they turned out quite well. I have to give credit to an artist I have admired for a long time who posted a step by step for his approach to digital colours of this style. His name is Xavier Ramonède and you can check out his killer blog here: sushixav.blogspot.com

So here are the drawings! Sketch was done in Flash, clean up in Sketchbook Pro and coloured in Photoshop.

Thanks for checking out the blog and I hope you like the drawings!
