Wow it's been 10 days already I'm very much impressed with myself for keeping this up. I had an American dad marathon and saw a butterfly in one of the episodes and the drawing prompt I've been using said to draw a snowglobe so i combined the two together.
It's a worry when you have a chat with a child about dinosaurs and they say they should skateboard, but have their baseball cap turned backwards and have sunglasses on and only skate on one leg, cause I can see that straight in my mind and I couldn't resist making a little mascot logo design of a Diplodocus riding a skateboard. The only thing I couldn't work out is how to make him do the thumbs up sign, cause Diplodocus' don't have thumbs! Maybe I should go back to the drawing board with the thumb idea, but this was so much fun to get down and design. The kid loved it, so next time I go over to see her mum and dad it looks like I'll be doodling dinos doing all sorts of things!
This was my first digital portrait for a book cover I did for my brother. you can see the book cover image here https://www.amazon.com/Gus-Graham-Arizona-Sheriff-Winkies-ebook/dp/B071H3S5NW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FT2WWGZ0IG1M&keywords=winkies+escape&qid=1641839447&s=digital-text&sprefix=winkies+escape%2Cdigital-text%2C65&sr=1-1
I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk.
We think that a biological alarm clock would be much better to play the role of an alarm clock than an ordinary one, because we can simply turn it off and continue to sleep, but such an alarm clock cannot be turned off and you will definitely wake:)
Do you like getting up at the alarm, or do you prefer to get up when the body feels like it’s rested enough?
I have been in bed all day and I didn't know what to draw so I used the drawing prompt again and it told me to draw a sword and I decided to draw a little shape design behind it to add some flair
It's been a weird couple of years where social media became so toxic I'm just not online much. This place isn't like that so I have no excuse! So here's the CD cover for my new album "Junkyard Sam - OUTCAST", now available on Soundcloud & Spotify.
Jesus And Peter On The Water
Medium: Pen And Ink On sketch Book Paper
Size: 12" X 18"
Date Completed: 9/ 22/15
This study is for an upcoming paint about the life of Christ.
The drawling it's self took about two week time of working on it off and on. The research stage took about two months. This study is attempt to capture spirit of being out on the water walking with Jesus during a storm on the sea of Galilee. I hope the viewer can feel Peter anxiety as he is sinking in to the lake as fierce storm drain peter faith in his ability to walk on water through the ability the lord gave him. I wanted to show how compassionate Jesus is to quickly crouch down to rescue peter from drawing and get him back to the safety of the boat with the rest of the disciples, which is outside of the illustration..
Some people feel that i should have Jesus feet visible above the water,so people don't get the notion that Jesus is sinking in the water too. But if I do that it would alter what it would really look like in the natural world ,because even if Jesus's feet were on top of the water this might not be visible to the viewer because the waves in front of Jesus might block the view of his feet.
This illustration make think about the time we have all tried to do a task that the lord has call us to, but we have tried to accomplish the task depending on our own strength in stead of the strength of the holy Spirit. Then we Find our self sinking instead of making head way and we have to call on the Lord to rescue us and put us back on the right track.
