Java Jive

Express Yourself

Had a busy week of drawing. Experimenting with styles and mediums and freshening up my brush skills. I tried to keep things loose and expressive. I used an actual brush and ink. I had to put the pentel brush aside for the week. Colored with markers, colored pencil, and whatever else was laying around. I think I'm getting ready to move on to painting, but that may take a while. I gotta lot coming up in the next 2 months. I am excited to get back into something a little more expressive and painterly. For now drawing in my sketchbook will have to hold me over.

First self portrait in a long while

Drawing in Public 8

I was all over the place this week. Drawing in my sketchbook, post-its, or just a plain sheet of computer paper. It really doesn't matter where or how, as long as I'm drawing.

Drawing in Public 7

A few silly drawings from lunch. I have been feeling very unmotivated the last couples weeks. I need some focus. These little drawing sessions always help clear my mind. Gotta try to remember to have fun.

Sketchapalooza 2011

I had a great time at sketchapalooza 2011. There was a great turnout, a lot of kids exited to get sketches of their favorite characters or just stuff they made up. I was drawing non stop all day and met a bunch of great people. Like always these events go so fast with hardly any time to socialize with all the great artists. Oh well, it was fun non the less and I can't wait till the next event!

Here are just a few of the sketches I did

I had 2 ninja turtle requests. That was a lot of drawing. (Phew!)

A sketch for a teacher to put in his history class. I hated history. LOL!

A dragon eating ice cream!

A little kitten riding a bike.

My homie Steven wanted a dancing underwater dog. Nice!

More Viking Madness

I'm still on a Viking kick. This time I wanted to create a whole scene that tells a little bit of a story. I love this character so much I didn't want the background to take away from him. I tried to keep the BG as simple as I could while framing the main characters. I had a lot of fun working with the reflective light of the fire and the cast shadows that are created by that strong light source. It makes the illustration much more dramatic.

Vikings!

My recent obsession with "How to Train Your Dragon" inspired me to do some Viking sketches.

Drawing In Public 6

I try to draw something in my sketchbook everyday. These are some fun little sketches I did throughout the week during my lunch. Sometimes no one is around so I just make up stuff to draw. I keep these very loose and just let the ink fall where it may.

Sketch and a Haircut

After doing the poster for Sketchapalooza I decided to draw some more comic book super heros. It was fun putting my own spin on these classic characters.

I got my haircut by a super happy women at supercuts. She was so animated I had to do a sketch of her.

SKETCH-A-PALOOZA

A poster I did for SKETCH-A-PALOOZA a free all ages live art event I will be participating in.

Alice in Wonderland

An Illustration I did for a project called

What is the Use of A Book Without Pictures?

Artists are assigned a paragraph from the book to illustrate. My paragraph takes place at the tea party. The door mouse is telling Alice a story about 3 sisters that live in a well and get sick from drinking the water.

Ron Swanson

This guy is my hero! Best character on "Parks & Recreation".

Drawing In Public 5

In this session I explore an office building courtyard and a Wendy's. I do not recommend the grilled chicken sandwich.

Drawing In Public 4

Some loose sketches I did at lunch. Gesture posses and of course faces. A lot of people walking by pretty fast, so, I did mostly memory sketches. My main goal was to have fun and just draw without thinking too much.

Using a new Pentel refillable fountain pen, which I really like for sketching. I also dig this little leather bound landscape sketchbook, very good for on the go sketching.
