Hoppy Easter!

Another iPhone Sketchbook sketch. Stay tuned as I turn some of these sketches into finished illustrations.

Preliminary Work.

As I begin working on new projects, sometimes I have to get a feel for how characters will look. This new project involves a family. So I did a quick sketch in Paper of the family as if they were at a department store getting a family portrait done.

Sketching Around

I would typically be working on a digital piece for Illustration Friday by right about now. But sometimes, Life takes over. However, I did manage to eek out a little sketch in Paper on my iPad. The IF topic is "wool."

Illustration Friday: Wings

When you're raised a Catholic, you tend to be surrounded by art. And perhaps, Catholicism was another artistic influence for me. It worked for Michelangelo and DaVinci. Anyway, as I was planning a lesson on Leonardo DaVinci, I came across one of his angel paintings where he studied bird wings. And it inspired me to paint this angel. OK, granted, it's more along the lines of "Precious Moments" than "The Annunciation." But then again, I'm no DaVinci. :-)

Illustration Friday: Myth

They come from Tolkein’s mind, but his characters are the stuff of myth and legend.

Illustration Friday: Glow

Judging from the glow on his face, the race wasn’t about winning.

Illustration Friday: Snow

Trippin’ the snow fantastic with a little white man’s overbite.
