» Art Show -- This Saturday
For those of you in the Salt Lake area, I'm participating in an arts and crafts show featuring local Utah artisans and stuff. It'll be a great place to pick up that unique Christmas gift!
Here's a preview of something I'm working on, in all its smeary col-erase beauty:

» Lo, the Mighty Sketch Dump
Here's the first of a two part sketch dump. You'll notice some brush work here. Its all done with a Pentel Color Brush. I started using it after harassing Bill Pressing at Comi-con about what he uses. I'm finding I really like inking with this thing. My line work has a ways to go, but I'm having fun.
Sketched while watching some UFC:
Started as a stylized profile of my wife, and turned into a concept sketch for DUNE. One of my favorite features of my wife is her "beaked" upper lip. It comes to a point in the middle of the lip rather than at the top of the lip. There's something very delicate about it.
A bunch of stuff drawn with mechanical pencil. Mechanical pencil is great to sketch with. If you get a nice soft lead, it erases easily and you can rework and build up your sketch as you go. The downside is it smears like a beast, and its not as sharp looking as drawing with a prismacolor or a polychromos pencil.
As a result I have to spend a lot of time on the computer cleaning up my sketches so they look ok.
Stay tune for part 2. It'll be all cute girls!

» More Faces
Some more facial expressions. I need to get more comfortable with drawing people facing to the left. I always defatult to drawing figures facing to the right. The final face here is an attempt to learn something from the rendering style of Chris Wahl.

» Wonder Woman
I just finished watching Justice League Unlimited last week. Great Stuff. Here's a WIP on Wonder Woman:
The onlly thing I'm thinking of fixing right now is the face. It got too cute as I was tightening it up. I'd like it to look more sophisticated.

» A handful of sketches
Here's a couple of things I've done in the past week. The first three are part of a project I'm working on with 8fish and Impact Books. I'll have more on that as it reaches completion.
This last sketch is a bit of visual development for Green Monk.
