Ninja Hippo!

A couple weeks ago I painted a go-go girl on my sisters wall for her and now I guess it's my brother's turn to get something on his wall. My brother is really into karate so we decide to go with an animal/ninja approach. I did quite a few drawings and while my brother ended up choosing something else, I personally liked this one. There will probably be another ninja animal tomorrow. Enjoy.

Superman

Happy New Year everyone! Man it's been a long time. Sorry about that. Things got kind of hectic towards the end of the year and then I took some vacation time, so while I did do quite a bit of artwork, I was no where near the internet and therefore you haven't seen it. Well now I'm back. This is a drawing I did while watching Superman Returns over the break (imagine that). I might color this guy up one day. I think it's a fun drawing. Anywho, enjoy. There's plenty more to come.

Just some sketches

Here's just a couple sketches for y'all. I recently got the art of "Open Season" book and have been perusing it ravenously. Man the designs are gorgeous. So I decided to draw some ducks and dogs and things and most of it is pretty much a rip off of Carter Goddrich's stuff. That guy's amazing. Enjoy.

El Pitufo Grande!

This last week at work we had a challenge to draw up a lucha libre wrestler. I started thinking about what I would want to do and then the idea came into my head that I would call him "El Pitufo Grande!" Pitufo is one of my favorite spanish words and it means Smurf, or I guess the show Smurfs down in Mexico is called Pitufo's. So that's why he's all blue and white. I'm going to really take some more time on this one and post him up again later (if you're lucky), but for now, here he is. Enjoy.

Macaw

Here's the first pass at this little guy. I really had fun with this drawing so I think I'm going to put some time into coloring him. So this is a basic color scheme laid down. WE'll see how he turns out. Enjoy.

Gibbon

Hello Everyone. Sorry about the long delay. Things have been kind of hectic lately what with one thing or another. A couple of weeks ago I went to the zoo and was able to see my favorite animal ever. The gibbon. Hae you all seen these guys. they're so cool. They just swing around so effortlessly. If I believed in reincarnation I would totally wait in line after this life for my chance to be a gibbon. What would you all like to come back as? Enjoy.

Happy Really lat Thanksgiving

Drew this turkey on thanksgiving while I was watching the macy's parade with my family. Enjoy.

Super Heroes

This is a painting I did for my brother in law and his family. Every year on my wife's side of the family we swap names for Christmas to see who is buying for whom. And every year the couple that gets a present from us says to me, "Instead of a present you could just paint us something." Well this is what came of it this year. No I will not be putting up any of the past years paintings, because I am too embarrassed to do so. That's a good thing though right? I mean the fact that I think everything I did last year sucks, means that I am improving, right? Maybe I'm just getting better at seeing what sucks and what doesn't. So enjoy the super hero family while you can cause in a week or two I probably won't like it anymore. Oh and by the way, my brother in law asked that he and his family be turned into super heros. So he, his wife and his three kids all have super powers. You get to decide what those powers are and how they can be used for the good of mankind. Enjoy.

Freaky Fish

Just a freaky fish. That's all. Enjoy.

Zombie Boy

I've decided that most of my drawings do not look finished enough. I get about half way done and then I move on to something else. In an effort to correct that I have decided to start inking things up. It was much easier to scan and then color this way and I really am pleased with the results. There's still lots to learn about how to make it really sing, but I count this as a valient first try. Oh, why did I decide to draw a zombie boy you ask? Well I was out at a party and everyone was sitting around drawing zombie boys and I just gave into the peer pressure. Don't you judge me. Enjoy.

My son

Ok, obviously this isn't my son. Or more accurately this is not my son as he is, but rather as he would like to be. My son is 4, and he loves cars. Not just the movie that just came out on DVD (although he does love that quite a bit) but just cars in general. He owns probably 300 hotwheels cars due mostly to me buying him one everytime we go to Walmart (it's as cheep as a candy bar and lasts alot longer). So we play cars at home and most of his room is taken over by either his hotwheels cars or the various larger car/truck/tractor type vehicles that I or others have given him. Well like I said the pixar movie Cars just came out on DVD and my son is "happy as a tornado in a trailer park" (quote from the movie) and I got to thinking what Lucas would look like if he were in this movie. Well my son runs all over the place and has recently started to climb all over furniture and the unfortunate people that happen to be sitting on it so I made him a jeep. An off road jeep. Why is he yellow you ask? Because I like yellow, plain and simple. The large rearview mirrors were intended to be his ears which stick out of his head. (It's harder to tell the more his hair grows. Anywho, I think I'm going to have to paint this one up for him and frame it for his room (I'll also need to make sure he's wearing a diaper at the time because he just might wet himself.) Enjoy.

Ninja

Thought I would have some fun doing a ninja. This started out as a basic Karate Kid pose (don't tell me you didn't spend three months of your life perfecting that move when you were a kid like I did, cause I know you did. You still do when no one's watching don't you?) but I also made him kind of rockin' out. (look at the hands). Originally he was going to be a dark ninja, but the face ended up bing so small that I thought white might work better. Enjoy.

Your Regualr Monday Sketch Dump

Well like most mondays I am giving you my church sketches from this week. I'll see if I have time for something a little more done later. Enjoy.

Quick little bird

Well I guess that says it all then doesn't it? Wanted to get something in for the day. Enjoy.

Robot

Everyone at work here is playing a cool game that has a little robot in it that rolls around and picks stuff up. Thought I would do my own little robot just for kicks. I had more fun doing all the bits and bobs on this guy than I thought I would. Normally I steer away from sciency techy junk because I don't like all the details it requires, but I like this one. There may be hope for me yet. Enjoy.

Happy Halloween!

Well Halloween is here. This is a guy I've been meaning to draw for awhile and was kind of afraid of. I didn't want to mess it up. Isn't that funny what I consider scarry. I doubt they'll ever make a big budget movie about a piece of paper that ruins everydrawing you try to put on it. (I would run screaming out of the theatre but I'm one of the few I think.) Tune in tomorrow to find out what a pound and a half of sugar in one night inspires me to draw. Enjoy.

How Kemosabe!

I figured since I had already drawn a cowboy I might as well draw an Indian as well. Kind of like both of these guys. They kind of have the same body shape and all. Tomorrow's halloween. I'll try and do something....you know...halloweenish. Enjoy.

Yeeeee-Haw!

Don't know why, but I felt like drawing a cowboy. I need to draw more human characters. I get really into drawing animals and monsters and such but I don't draw as many humans. I need to get better at that, because about 90% of the time that's what I'm going to be asked to draw. That doesn't mean I can't make them cowboys or knights or something cool like that though, does it? Enjoy.

A very Surf Dog Halloween

HEre's the drawing of the painting I am going to try and get done this next week. It's halloween time and I wanted to paint something just for me and this is the result. Who knows if I will find time to even get this one more than just a little done, but I can try. I'll post this one again later and you can all see how it's going. Enjoy.

Church sketches

Just some random doodles from church on sunday. Enjoy.
