Arrgh! Zombies! (in colour)

Here is that zombie drawing I did a while back in full colour.

viking drawing, in colour

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.

viking post

This the newest drawing from the sketch club. The topic was vikings and my first thought was those fat ladies that sing at the end of operas, so I drew one being admired by a hoard of viking warrior types.

zombie ink drawing

Our topic in the studio sketch club this week was zombies, and here is the ink drawing I have been working on since Monday. This one was a lot of fun, and is my favorite drawing in this sketch club series. The final image was cleaned up a bit in photoshop. Hopefully, I will have time to add some colour soon.

Colour drawings

Here are 2 versions of the secret agent drawing, as well as the time travel drawing from last week. I tried something a little different with the dinosaur image, going for more of a paintery look with blended colours and loose brush strokes. The secret agent is similar to my other cartoony paintings, with flat colours and a few lighting effects. The first image is the final version, and the second shows the colour fill stage, where the colours have been added but not the lighting or colour adjustment layers.

secret agent post

This week we are doing secret agent as our sketch club topic. I did a pencil drawing and then inked it, here is the image in its various stages. I am working on a colour version, as well as a better version of the space travelling dinosaur from my last post.

time travel 2: space dionsaurs in colour

I liked this drawing from last week, so here are the inked and colour versions. The topic was time travel but this is more of an alternate time-line thing, in which earth was never hit by an asteroid the dinosaurs continued to evolve.

new drawings: time travel and circus

This drawing of the clowns was a quick pen sketch and it could use some clean up, but we moved on to a new topic this week and I had to move on. The new topic was time travel and no one drew anything, so I think we will stick to more specific ideas from now on. Anyway, here are some enteries I did. The first is little Marco, as a kid in the late eighties, and is based on a famous Calvin and Hobbes comic panel. The other image is dinosaurs in space, and last drawing is the sign I put up on the posting wall.

Circus, drawing one

Next topic: Circus! I went with a family of Russian acrobats.

Brian on Vacation

Last week our sketch club topic was Brian on vacation, where we imagined what our buddy Brian Wong was up to on his two week break. Here are some drawings.

manimal

This last week out sketchclub topic was "manimal", as in man-animal hybrids. I did a bunch of drawings, and here they are. The first one is a kid in a costume, but the second and third are people at the office combined with creatures; Marco-squirrel and Dean-duck.

backt to school drawing (finished post)

I tweaked the colors a bit for this final posting of the "back to school" image.

back to school: new sketch club drawing

We only did one sketch this week, and because our studio is right on the Sheridan College campus and all the kids are back this week, we chose back to school as our topic. My drawing is a group of random students waiting for the bus.

catbuglar painting

I finished the catburglar image (the villians drawing I did for sketch group at work). I did some colour overlays and added fill lights and some highlights on the character. I was going for a simple and graphic look with out any textures or colour blending.

cavegirl painting update (just about finished)

Another cavegirl painting update, it just needs a few more hours work and it will be complete. I changed the dinosaur colour so it fits better with the rest of the painting, and I filled in most the black shadow areas with blue and purples. I just need to tighten up the painting in some areas and add some more texture to the tree trunk and dino.

sketch group: another villians image

This is a second drawing for the villians topic we had this week. I scanned the pencil sketch, inked version, and did quick digital painting. I used flat colours with a 2-tone multiply layer. I would like to finish this one up a bit more, but I still have that cavegirl painting to finish, good thing this is a long weekend.

studio sketch club update: villains

This drawings is supposed to be an evil scientist type who is bringing some kind of monster creature to life, but no one at work seemed to get it. I am working on a second image for this topic that I hope will be a bit more effective. I had a chance to ink and colour the mad scientist character but not the rest of the image, I want to do a new one every day so I have to keep moving on.

knights sketch club posting

These are two more drawings for the studio sketch club. This time the topic was knights. The first sketch was the image I posted on the drawing wall, and the second is an inked version of the knight character.

cavegirl, more painting progress

This is a second work in progress post for my cave girl drawing. This time I have given the dinosaur some attention and added some more leaves in the background. It still needs a lot of work of the painting is starting to take shape. Next I will experiment with colour shifting the dinosaur because I am not crazy about the green.

cavegirl painting progress

I put a few hours into this painting so far and I think it is comming along ok. I still have not got to the dinosaur, but I have blocked in the tree and girl with some basic rendering. I tried to keep some of the ink outlines showing underneath the painting because I think it looks interesting. Once everything is painted roughly I will go back and put in some blue fill fights and fix up the drawing a bit.

new sketch club at work

Here is a pen drawing that I did at work for our new sketch club. We randomly choose a topic and then have a day or two to come up with something. This topic was "cave-person", so I did a historically inaccurate drawing of a t-rex chasing a sexy cave girl. I drew the image first with animation pencils and then inked it, the color image is still a work in progress but it shows the direction the image is headed.

dolphin force, finished image

Here is another version of the original Rio Dolphin Force image, but this time I inked the pencil drawing and cleaned it up before I colored it. I went with the same flat color style, with a two tone fill and a few specular highlights. I wanted to keep it interesting but still have a simple graphic look.
