Another from the same thread as below on drawingboard.org

This is one of the regular caricaturists on that board and a pretty nice guy, DiluC. Here is the ref sheet.

Here's another caricature from the "caricaturists caricatures" thread over at the drawingboard.org. This one is CarlosR and here is the ref sheet.

Mark Sanford

a sketch from yesterday and today. I may have made him a little too emaciated. . .

I think I'll come back to him soon though.

Guess Who

don't know?

well, I doubted that you would. This is a quick caricature of one of my old professors at Clemson. I'm actually pretty happy with the likeness so that's good. . .

Anyone care to guess?

what, a new post?

Just a couple of doodles to keep the blog from stagnating. . .

I started Bobby Chiu's Digital Painting class today! I'm really looking forward to getting into the meat of this course.

some sketches

These posts are getting farther and farther apart. . .
but, I have been doing new stuff. I promise.

I've got a couple of environment pieces in progress right now but I've been sketching more to brush up on perspective drawing of vehicles. I used to love to do this as a kid but abandoned it as I grew older. I've been inspired by Scott Robertson's Gnomon videos and Sparth's book "Structura" as well as a fantastic book that Angel bought for me called "Mechanika" by Doug Chiang (what a fantastic book). Trying to get better at this and here are a few sketches.


The last one is just some near future special ops soldier that went farther than I thought it would.
