Weekend Scribbles - Cleaned

Took a few minutes to pick out the scribbles that I really liked from the weekend and colour them up real quick. Aren't they cute? I don't think the walrus looks diseased enough, but I don't know what I could add to it.


Weekend Scribbles

Had a friend of mine down for the weekend to draw and watch movies and have an all around good time. We got a lot accomplished art-wise including some fun doodles while we watched "Dune", okay, we didn't really watch it very much, but that's not the point. It somehow ended up being hilarious. Anyways the sketches are fun too and basically have nothing to do with the movie.

Enjoy.

They may be sideways and out of order from time to time, but we drew on this long roll of paper so we just kept pulling more over as we went along. That also explains why some is cut off; the paper was too wide for the scanner. She's red, I'm blue. Let the laughter ensue.

Working - Ashbel, plus art forum

Once again I come with a sparse update. Not much going on over here, but I have been making good progress on an animation of mine. Current time consuming art is this:



Also, opened up an art forum in hopes of getting more active and creative with my work and people from Seneca. Any past/present/future student curious to join is totally welcome as the thread isn't very active right now with only two regular members and some other classmates who stop by from time to time. You can join us in monthly art challenges, just post up work for critique, or even let us know about some cool art you saw on the net. I'm really looking forward to a tight community of students who want to share their thoughts and creativity.

More Sketches

This is a coloured version of the image I did for a friend of mine. She insisted it be coloured and I agreed without complaint. I think the colouring really added to the feeling I wanted and I tried to fake that copic marker feel I adore so much. Overall, it makes me smile so that's good.


Did this for someone's mascot in their thread on Gaia. I got a lot of freedom so I just played around. I dunno, it's kind of neat having the gold turn to water. Needless to say, the thread was named something along the lines of "wishing well."
This is a little something I am making for a friend by request. He is going away to film school and said he wanted something to put on his wall. I filled in the blanks, I mean, what guy doesn't like something a little sexy for his wall? Nothing outrageous, but it's been fun and perfect practise for drawing pretty women, which I used to have a lot of trouble with. Hmm, no plans to colour this, but plan to give it a comic inked feel. Drawing in all of those film reels will be annoying, but should look cool in the end.
Hmm, this was me being influenced by some rather off the wall music, no, not something I got from my old roommate. Imagine that. Anyways, I wanted to play with framing some more and I think the rabbit failed in that aspect, but I drew in a car bumper and wheel there and it looked much better. A possible art piece I think with some more tweaking. Yes, that is a nuclear explosion, no, the song had nothing to do with the images here.

These are two banner variations I made for the art challenge forum I started for my friends from college. That reminds me, if anyone else is interested, we just started so ask and I'll link you there. Please keep it to Seneca students. This didn't take too long and was really fun. It's not often I get to play with custom brushes so much so it was a real treat. It's amazing how a bunch of simple actions can result in a cool statement.




As always, feel free to comment.
