out

In response to this week's drawing prompt: Instead of drawing my house, I drew the house from the movie Knives Out. The house acts almost as a character in the movie, setting the stage for one of the best murder/mystery films I've ever seen.

'In Bloom' - by Airelav // Watch the making of on YouTube.

Class demos in my "Sketching for Animators and Illustrators" class. The building in the foreground is a students sketch I xeroxed and went over with acrylics. This is about a half hour in. We also looked at brush-pen and watercolor. I'm doing a summer ver

Moleskine spread. If I don't get it out on paper, my brain will explode and who wants that mess to deal with? Stay safe. Sketch regularly.

Innsmouth Denizen #3, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

The background is made out of an old notebook I cut up and glued with modpodge. My obsession with hands continues.

Theodor knew that it was difficult to keep them, out of his mind.

I was asked by a kid recently what 'thinking outside the box' means. The only way I could answer was with a watercolor doodle.

"Planet Peace" 7x10" inktense/india ink I sketched this out last year, detailed and painted it this morning. :)

The Zine of my last 72 pages done in my sketchbook is nearly sold out. This might be your last chance to purchase it: http://colourcolliders.bigcartel.com

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.

My notes and demos from yesterday's watercolor sketching workshop at #waltdisneyfeatureanimation. We were talking about quickly blocking in people from life in natural situations. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #pleinair #illustration #disney #disneystud

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) The idea of owning an exotic pet was always used in comic book adverts. The most well known one being the sea monkeys. People thought they were getting something really special, until it was pointed out to them that they were just brine shrimp. But imagine if something like a pet demon was available!

I wonder which one is the imposter?I always think the characters are creatures that resemble astronauts rather than people in astronaut suits

Colorful Goldfish - Another watercolor sketch from my newest sketchbook. I'm using Strathmore Mixed Media 300 Series (5.5 in x 8.5 in). It has 40 sheets of 90 lb. vellum surface paper. They cost under $10 and can be used for most anything including wet media (light washes) without the paper falling apart or warping badly. One of the best all purpose sketchbooks I've found and the size makes it easy to toss in a backpack and carry daily. Anyway, just wanted to share my good experience with the group. What's your favorite sketchbook brand/format?

It's not about waiting around for inspiration to strike, it's about showing up every single day -- and maybe something amazing happens that day, or maybe it doesnt...Regardless, Rise and Grind ♡

This is an earlier drawing I did from a Mark Crilley How-To video. All credit to him. Only thing I did differently was to add some red to the scales. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XId8ethxg2M&t=0s&list=PLCD2CF65888663986&index=187

South Street Seaport before Sandy

(fineliner on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) A piece that makes you think more about colour where there is none.

I felt like drawing birdhouses and this came out in my large Moleskine.
