Caveman

I drew up this sketch about a month ago and thought he could use some color.  I had just taken my kids to see The Croods at the theatre and had cavemen on the brain I guess.  I'd also been looking at the concept art on the film, especially the drawings by Carter Goodrich who I am a HUGE fan of.  This is mostly inspired by his drawings.  I thought it would be cool to put it on a cave wall just for kicks.  enjoy.

Croquet

Had a bit of time recently to have some fun and do some art.  This is what came out.  I've had a lot of fun playing around with colored pencils and I wanted to see what type of results I would get if I laid down a water color wash underneath and then added int he colored pencils for details.  I'm pretty happy with the results.  I'm basing this type of thing on a children's book that I fell in love with called The Hermit Crab by Carter Goodrich.  I love the shapes in that book as well as the subtle colors.  I plan on doing more stuff like this.  Wish me luck.  Enjoy.
