yesterdays figure drawings and a hello!
hey friends, long time no blog. Long time no pick up the pencil either... :( Been super busy trying to get this Pirates thing all done up and ready to go. Also the freelance has been going all last Feb as well. Been busy as of late. Work, family, and freelance makes for a very busy life.
Anyways, here are some figure drawings from yesterday's session that I attended. It was nice to pick up the pencil again. I need to do it more often. I can see some glimmer of hope in my drawings but still see a TON of flaws. But that's why I share them here, if you have any comments on what could get my work to that next level please feel free. Im a professional and can take constructive criticism with the best of them.
Hope to get the blog thing going again. We'll see how the freelance goes. :)
A big WERD! to my pals who support me and to new readers thanks for stoppin on in. On to the drawings

Yahoo! Movies - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Yahoo! Movies - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
The trailer is out now, looks awesome, I cant wait to see it. Fun to see some of what Jack is up to this time around. Working on the game we get to see a lot of the concepts and what not for the movie which is pretty dang cool. It's gonna blow the other movie away imo.

after playing some hoops tonight I was inspired. A little different than normal, just hitting the lasso tool trying to find the shapes. It was a fun exercise anyways...

Who's awake at this hr?
Hey friends, what's up? Wow, a whole month has gone by without a post by me... My lack of posts are for good reason, Ive been super busy at my day jobby doing animations of Jack Sparrow kickin bootay, and by night Ive taken on helping out Liquid Development on a game currently in production (that I can't talk about) hehe gotta love this industry...Get to see stuff before it comes out to the masses. Ive felt like I should post something just to let people know that Im still alive and still doing the art thing animating to my hearts content. Getting lots of animation practice in, which is helping me get better, which I need, but Im very critical of my work, so this is a good thing. I recently made a demo reel, which is how I got work with Liquid. If any would like to see it please let me know and I can send you the link personally, I dont want to just give it out to the masses quite yet, plus I dont know what kinda bandwidth I might get tagged with. Dont want to be paying out the nose in bandwidth fees. It's around 30 megs or so.
I mainly use Maya at Amaze, but Liquid uses 3dStudioMax which is nice to have to get used to all over again, but it's just like riding a bike. It was funny I totally forgot how to copy a key in max, had to go to the help file to remember. It's nice knowing both programs though and will be good since Autodesk bought Alias anyways, just hope they keep Maya up and going for the long haul, it's such a way nicer program to use. I was very reluctant to switch over in the beginning to Alias, but now that I use it, I would miss using it to anything else.
ps dont know who came out in the sketch but just wanted to draw something so at least im coming with something...hehe

Modern fine artists!
WOw, long time, no blog friends. Whats up! Anyways, here are some recent finds that Ive come across that I find inspiring right now.
This guy can paint! Check him out. Morgan Weistling
I got Morgan's link from one of his friends that Ive recently started to read his blog. Very friendly chap! I found this guy from TheWardOMatic, his name is David Darrow and here is his site David Darrow David is another great painter himself. Check him out.
Morgan just released a DVD that Id like to pick up once I find $200 laying around. Also, been fooling with the notion of picking up some paints myself and trying my hand at the ol oil painting. Looks like fun.
Speaking of oil painting, a former co-worker has recently launched his site and his still life's are pretty amazing. I happen to own the pomegranate painting David is a super cool dude and hope his stuff takes off. Super talented cat.
The internet is so dang cool that artists and others as well can connect with each other. Thanks to those checkin my blog out. Hopefully I can be less sporadic and post more stuff I come across or post more of my work. I have some recent figure sessions that I can post, just need to get them scanned.

Hot links!
Some really recent links to some really outstanding artists have been posted on various internet forums and other blogs that I go to check out that I thought I would share the one's that I've really been checking out a lot.
All the links are something special imo.
John Neverez is a Disney artist that recently had posted to the Drawing board, and he's also done a blog. Really appealing stuff he has. You can tell he's been at his craft for a long while now
http://john-nevarez.blogspot.com/
Stephen Silver is another really amazing Character designer who recently started blogging himself which is awesome to see. Looks like he posts to 2 blogs, his own and sketchclub which is with another artist by the name of Marcelo.

Harald Siepermann is another awesome character designer for all kinds of great films that I find inspirational. I came across his gallery site browsing the Drawing Board at one point, Thorsten Hasenkamm pointed out his gallery. Here that is
Harald Siepermann gallery
Also recently started blogging as well.

Definitely stuff to aspire to, makes me want to get out the stick of lead and draw, which is what it's all about. Inspiration. Hopefully they inspire you too. Good day!

Figure drawing
My pal Tony Ravo posted a figure drawing from his blog which is located here It made me want to post some of my figure drawings that Ive done semi recently so here goes. I still need lots of work, but that's the point of figure drawing, to be a better artist which I can sure use. Thanks to work, we have access to figure drawing every week. I use to go pretty faithfully but as of late Ive not gone. I need to get back in the habit. I made it last week so that's good. Non-clothed figure drawing would probably get me in there more often. :P Our session at work is clothed and the some of the models like to wear really dark leotards which make it hard to see some lines when they wear them. Im not all that fond of drawing dudes either. I find the female form way more appealing and more enticeing to draw. Anyways, here are some of my drawings.
These were taken with my crappy camera phone. The newsprint is kinda hard to get scanned in without scanning in pieces and putting it back together in photoshop. Big pain. hehe Que sera...

Beautiful Canada!
Wow, it's been a while since I last posted eh. Ive been busy with work and life in general, that I havent taken the time to post to my blog. This pic was taken the weekend before last up in Harrison Hot Springs in BC, Canada. Such a sight up there. Tree's and mountains surrounding. It's beautiful up there. Living in the NW is pretty dang nice itself, but man this place is somewhere you need to see if you can make it. It's only 3 hrs away from the Seattle area. Not too bad of a drive. It's a great drive really. The beach there is really really nice. Like having the ocean beach right there on the lake and the water wasnt too bad. It was a little chilly due to it being glacial water from the mountains. Mid Aug is not too bad, considering it was 90 degrees up there too. It felt good to get in the water.
The also have some great sand castle building up there. Coming up very soon in September they have a sand castle building competition. I think I may have to take the family back up there to see that. They have a website which shows some of the past exhibitions. Pretty dang sweet what they can do what that sand. Here is the link Harrisand.org
If you follow the pic above there are a couple of other pics that I took while up there. Some good ones of some of the sand castles they have on display right now.
One plus is that the American dollar is worth more than the Canandian dollar so our money is a little easier spent there. Another plus to Canada is the chocolate. :P I had one of the best candy bars Ive had in a long time up there. I heard someone say that they put a waxy like substance in American chocolate. Im not sure if that is accurate or not, but I did notice a different taste to the chocolate up there.
Anyways...Take a look up there if you are in the area, it's worth the trip.
