This image was for an on-line contest. I heard about it at the last minute so I drew and inked the drawing and quickly scaned and colored it at home. I fixed the image up a bit more before posting it here.
These drawing where done for an office christmas card at the studio I work for. They asked for a surfing and beach part scene, and I threw santa in there as well. In on of the earlier sketches I included some charaters from the shows we work on but I could not include them for various legal and copyright reasons. I think the final image turned out alright, I did a bit of painting but kept all the colours very flat.
Another sketch club drawing, but this time I went for a less cartoony style. The topic was comic book characters and my drawing is a roof top showdown with cat woman and batman. I drew one version and cleaned it up, but I was not happy with cat woman's pose. After a few tries I got one I was happy with, and then I began to ink the drawing. I did the outlines and then photocopied the drawing, one verion I filled in with flat black and white areas and the other I added some hatching and textures. I think I will colour the flat version because it looks a lot cleaner.
I've cleaned up this older drawing in photoshop and added some lighting and shadow effects. I also changed the background colour and put a graphic outline around the character.
I've done a painted version of the viking drawing, using flat colour fills for a comic book look. I may do another with some shading and highlights, if I have time.
I am a texture artist on the Backyardigans T.V. series, working with 2d and 3d software; modeling, texturing and matte painting. I also do free lance work story boarding and I am working on a comic project in my free time.
