Season's Greetings

2011-12-03T01:38:00.000-08:00

Couldn't decide which background I liked better.

2011-10-10T22:34:00.000-07:00

This is what I wanted to be doing today, except I think if I really tried to cartwheel that it would look even more clumsy.

2011-10-09T22:37:00.000-07:00

As you can tell, I spent a good deal of my time this weekend in front of my computer. Here are two monster pin up girls that I was playing around with.

2011-10-08T20:45:00.000-07:00

Tried something a little different today. Also got a new brush pen to play with. Expect to see more of these rough sketches in the future. Thinking about making the daily sketches more about situation and what's happening in my daily life then about the clothing.

2011-10-07T19:28:00.000-07:00

Day 46, 47, & 48

2011-10-06T21:27:00.000-07:00

The last 3 days. October 6, 4, & 5

Day 45

2011-10-03T22:26:00.001-07:00

Day 44

2011-09-30T21:05:00.000-07:00

Was trying to go with a full tummy look, but it isn't reading as clearly as I wanted it to. Also I am so far behind on clean up, that I'm not sure I will be able to clean all of them up. If there are any in particular that people like I'll start with them.

Day 44

2011-09-29T20:41:00.000-07:00

Day 43

2011-09-28T21:40:00.000-07:00

Day 42

2011-09-27T21:52:00.000-07:00

Not exactly the happiest with this sketch, but all can be fixed in the clean up phase.

Day 41

2011-09-26T22:12:00.000-07:00

Day 40

2011-09-25T23:05:00.000-07:00

I swear I wasn't in a sad mood today. Don't really know where the idea for this sketch came from.

Day 39

2011-09-24T22:35:00.001-07:00

Day 38

2011-09-23T18:58:00.000-07:00

Finish for Day 35, 18 & 16

2011-09-23T18:56:00.000-07:00

Tried something a little different for August 30. Kept the colors really simple and did a simple ink line in Photoshop. Think I may stick with the other method though.

Day 37

2011-09-22T20:03:00.000-07:00

Day 36

2011-09-21T19:11:00.001-07:00

Day 33

2011-09-18T21:49:00.000-07:00

Now and Then

2011-09-17T22:15:00.000-07:00

Was looking through some earlier posts and found the girl with a teddy bear. Some reason I like drawing girls with teddy bears and thought it would be interesting to show a then and now. The sketch is from earlier this month and the other is from 2009. Also made me realize that I didn't post enough or for that matter draw enough since leaving college. This is unacceptable and the situation will be remedied.

Day 32

2011-09-17T22:05:00.000-07:00

finish for Day 30 & 26

2011-09-16T23:54:00.000-07:00

Day 31

2011-09-16T19:08:00.000-07:00

Day 30!

2011-09-15T19:48:00.001-07:00

Can't believe it's really been 30 days! Met my goal, but I am having so much fun with this that I think I will keep it up. It's been really good at getting me to sketch everyday and get in the habit of posting things.

Day 29

2011-09-14T22:10:00.000-07:00

Can't wait for fall to truly begin.

Random sketchbook page

2011-09-14T21:02:00.000-07:00

Just thought I'd post a random page from my sketchbook. You'll see both yesterday's and today's daily sketch in there.

Day 28

2011-09-13T22:58:00.001-07:00

Day 27

2011-09-12T23:56:00.000-07:00

Made it in just under the wire. At least this time it's a finished piece.

Day 26

2011-09-11T22:39:00.000-07:00

Laundry Day.

Day 25

2011-09-10T12:48:00.000-07:00

Here's a quickie. Had to draw a self portrait for class today. Not really very happy with it. Hopefully I'll get some good tips when he goes over it later. Also you can only erase so many times with newsprint before it won't take anymore.

Day 24

2011-09-09T22:04:00.000-07:00

Here are some variations on today's image. Just thought I'd post the sketches I made in the process. Going with the middle drawing for today. May make the head slightly larger in the final version.

Finish for Day 10

2011-09-08T23:22:00.000-07:00

Really need to stop wearing my vans.

Day 23

2011-09-08T22:41:00.001-07:00

Day 22

2011-09-07T22:03:00.000-07:00

Found myself continuously fixing my shoe throughout the day.

Day 21

2011-09-06T22:33:00.001-07:00

Was gone for the long weekend so I'm starting right off where I left today. The other sketch is me just trying something a little different then what I'm used to.

Day 20

2011-09-03T12:24:00.000-07:00

Day 19

2011-09-02T14:58:00.000-07:00

Had plenty of time since we got out of work early today, so I decided to try making today's in illustrator. This one definitely took the longest to finish.

Couldn't come up with anything that i really loved, so here's the sketches I made. think I'll stick with the top one.

Day 18

2011-09-01T19:57:00.001-07:00

Day 17

2011-08-31T20:59:00.001-07:00

Day 14

2011-08-28T21:13:00.001-07:00

Not a big fan of this one. Playing around on my iPad. Also the heat here is insane.

Day 11

2011-08-25T19:53:00.001-07:00

Just in case I am unable to work on this tonight. Today's drawing is the one on top, the others are just for fun.

Day 10

2011-08-24T22:02:00.000-07:00

Dropped a heavy object on my foot today. Hurt like the dickens.

Day 9

2011-08-23T21:40:00.001-07:00

2011-08-22T21:02:00.001-07:00

Day 8

2011-08-22T19:56:00.000-07:00

Couldn't decide which one I wanted to go with so here are two different versions of today's outfit. The first one is just plane fun while I liked the overall look of the second. Will fix the leg problems in the clean up phase.

iPad app

2011-08-22T10:51:00.000-07:00

The iPad app that we created at Lucky Kat TV has been released. It's an educational game with a take on hangman called Daren's Donuts. I did all the animation of Daren the Lion in the game. I'll post some pictures to go with it shortly.

Day 7

2011-08-21T21:46:00.001-07:00

Went to a Japanese festival in Little Tokyo this afternoon thus the bowing pose.

Day 2

2011-08-16T21:50:00.000-07:00

2 down, 28 to go.

Day 1

2011-08-16T21:06:00.000-07:00

Here is the first of my 30 day challenge of drawing and posting what I wore today. The idea is to post that days outfit before midnight that day and that I can not use the same pose twice. Here is yesterdays and todays will be posted a little bit later. The idea came from seeing this done on a couple different blogs that I watch and thought it looked like fun.

Stop Motion

2011-08-05T21:02:00.000-07:00

Found a great stop motion video that came from Aardman animation. The whole thing was shot on a Nokia N8 (smart phone). Here's the link to the page that shows the video and a making of video to go along with it.

first pass of witch animation

2011-07-18T22:54:00.000-07:00

As the title says this is the first rough pass of my witch animation. You can see her if you scroll down a couple posts. Going to try and post this in stages so my dad can see the process.

Rocker Kids

2011-07-13T22:02:00.000-07:00

The current line up of my new band. They were originally intended to be purely flash characters, but I'm enjoying them so much that I may animate them the old fashioned way. The blond boy at the end will be seen half the time with his hood on and half of it off. No names for the characters yet. Each character's personality is starting to develop nicely. Left to right: singer is the most aggressive (14 yrs), guitarist is bubbly, overtly happy, easily distracted (12 yrs), bassist is crazy, up for anything and erratic (15 yrs), and last is the drummer who is the shy quiet voice of reason (14 yrs).

p.s. There's been a slight change to the bassist hair color making it a more vibrant orange.

2011-07-13T17:56:00.000-07:00

My coworker came up with the idea of turning the rocker kids into a band, and the idea took hold quickly. Here is the rough line up of these characters. Instruments for each from left to right. Guitar, bass, drums, and singer.

Here's some random sketches of them to go with it.

2011-07-12T10:45:00.000-07:00

Video found on John Celestri's blogspot that I wanted to share.

2011-07-11T23:54:00.000-07:00

Rocker kids from the earlier post. Can't decide which shirt I like better on the boy.

2011-07-10T18:49:00.000-07:00

Just a quick post to show the character I'm getting ready to animate. Still need to make her broom, wand, and black cat.

The amazingly talented Andreas Deja has started a blog of his own. Everyone should check it out. http://andreasdeja.blogspot.com/

New ID

2011-06-05T23:17:00.000-07:00

Couldn't decide what to draw so when in doubt make a self portrait. This will most likely become my new DA ID. There are some mistakes, but it was fun.

2011-02-19T19:39:00.000-08:00

The videos are great. If anyone knows how to download these for future reference please let me know. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/12/12/magazine/14actors.html

quick sketch

2011-02-19T15:36:00.000-08:00

Saw this girl dancing last night and couldn't get it out of my head.

2011-02-11T21:10:00.000-08:00

Sketch and finished piece.

Go check this out

2011-01-14T16:34:00.000-08:00

There's a new blog/site called Living Lines Library that anyone interested in hand drawn animation should really check out. The site is well organized with a ton of useful features such as pencil tests, boards, model sheets, links for some other great animation sites, etc.

Found this on the Character Design Blog (http://characterdesign.blogspot.com/2010/12/character-design-is-back.html) and felt that it needed to be shared.

Dec 1-3

2010-12-03T21:54:00.001-08:00

I've decided to do a drawing a day till Christmas, and since it's already the 3rd I'll just post all the little sketches I doodled earlier. There has been no editing of any sketchbook pages. I may or may not take some of these a bit further later on.

New Business Card

2010-11-11T22:47:00.000-08:00

This is my new business card minus the phone and email address which I didn't want to post here on the web, but which are on the actual cards themselves.

Shower pin up girl.

2010-10-06T19:32:00.000-07:00

Yet 1 more pin up girl. Not based off of some type of food this time. She's based off of a sketch I made while hanging out with friends at the 24 hour comic day last weekend. Next time I'll draw someone with their head facing the other direction.

Candy Pin Up

2010-09-22T13:46:00.000-07:00

Here's a quickie post. Another food inspired pin up girl. This time by Christmas candy. Had a blast making her so I think I might make a few more food inspired pin up girls for fun.

2010-08-31T22:20:00.000-07:00

Just a quick post. The challenge was to take an existing character and swap their gender. Had trouble picking a character so I went with Rick from Casablanca thus the black and white.

2010-08-09T20:22:00.000-07:00

throwing these up quick. All are from DAC challenges. Would like to go in and make the grandpa and grandkid nicer eventually though.

Mushroom girl

2010-07-27T00:12:00.000-07:00

Same girl, but I couldn't decide which background I liked more. This is a sketch I made this weekend for DAC food challenge and I thought it would be fun to take her to fruition. I know I should try for something more fantastic and out of the box, but the thought of doing the food challenge as a pin up girl sounded like a fun idea when I was sketching her. Oh just in case you didn't know there is an actual mushroom that looks like the flower in her hair. I even tried to copy the color of the image I found of that mushroom. Sketched in pencil, colored in Photoshop CS3.

*edit. Added a top on her so I didn't have to worry about privacy settings for DAC.

2010-07-06T18:36:00.000-07:00

NemaFromSpain on DA is having a coloring contest of his ID drawing, so I thought I'd try it in order to work on my photoshop/coloring abilities. I will update with a link to the contest later. Just thought I'd post the flat colors for now, and will post it in process hopefully a couple more times before it's finished. I was amazed at how long it takes to do flat colors.

Here's an update. There's still more work to do, but since it was floating around on my system I thought it would be a good idea to post what I've done so far.

dance early pass

2010-06-28T17:39:00.000-07:00

This is something that I was working on earlier this year for class, and thought since I hadn't posted anything for such a long time that I would post this rough pass. Right now it is just keys and a few breakdown poses. It's not very good so I am going through it now fixing and pushing all the poses before cleaning it up and adding all the secondary animation such as the skirt and hair. With that said I will gladly take any constructive criticism you may have in order to create the best possible animation.

2010-05-21T18:02:00.000-07:00

Goku from Dragonball Z. Yet another challenge over at DAC. Sketch in pencil, final in FLASH.

DAC lifetime final

DAC Lifetime Challenge

2010-05-15T23:08:00.000-07:00

Here's the sketch and line work for the lifetime challenge for the DAC group of DA. Will hopefully post finished piece tomorrow sometime.

DAC emotion challenge

2010-05-14T17:52:00.000-07:00

elephant update

2010-04-28T22:31:00.000-07:00

I scrapped the color version for just black and white so I could focus on painting with a good value range. I might add color later, but as of now I'm happy with the practice I got working on this. This is actually based on a giant stuffed elephant that I had when I was a little kid.
