Muchas dibujos!

Oh man it's been a while since I've posted some sketches! Slightly behind here, so I'm just going to start posting a barrage of images. I have in my possession, even more, but those will have to wait until I GET BACK FROM MEXICO!! That's no joke.....Going for the weekend!

Some of the last sketches from my life drawing class. A couple of warm ups:



Girls!!! I noticed that since I've posted last, I've drawn quite a few.



Aaaaaand, your guess is as good as mine!


Los gatos estan en la biblioteca! That means: "have a great weekend everyone!"

Da HELL with THIS!

OK, so while Sal laughs hysterically from the title I'll discuss a certain trip I just took for the hell of it. I went to Mammoth Mountain with my older brother for the first time and I must say it was a lot more fun than I thought it'd be.

Went fishin', played some high altitude tennis (I was dying by the 3rd point). and just plain, relaxed for the most part. I also went snowboarding for the first time in my life and I honestly don't think I was that bad...I guess the whole "knowing how to surf" thing helped on that one. Still funny to watch it though:

Benny Hill really does make everything funnier


And some pics:



My facial expression suggests that my older brother had just insulted me.


It's about 95 degrees here in this pic........Yeah.


Just an excuse to get an ass shot in there.

12 Bars Teaser!

Alright, finally have something for you guys more exciting than my inability to draw from life. For those who don't know, I've been working on a short comic over the last few months. It is part of an anthology hopefully due out by the end of the summer. And although we decided to keep much of the project to vagueness, I've created a teaser for my comic in this anthology.

As the post title suggests, my comic is called 12 Bars. And to be clear, the panels in this teaser are not final; they just reflect the panels as they currently appear in the blocking phase. Hopefully it makes sense....Enjoy!

Yes, that is me on the voice over....No, I'm not a large, southern, black man.

Becoming a Professional Nude....Drawer.....Uhhh, Guy.

More Life Drawing!!! It seems like I either work on my comic or draw naked people these days. Ahhhh, what a life.

This one was a first for me. We toned the paper ourselves using a combination of acrylic paint and gesso. I believe the technical art names of the paint I used were "Red" and "Green". Anyways it actually worked better than I expected. Nothing penetrates the paper so the medium can be moved around very easily, plus you can erase your ass off and never damage the paper. Like drawing on plastic. Cool effect too.


My teacher's exact words: "Oh, ok, lookin' good; nice detail on the boobagery. Uh-huh, good. Yeah, really nice work Ta.....Ahhh, what the fuck happened to her hand!!?! Jesus H. Christ, THERE IS NO GOD!!"

Sun Beaten and Left for Dead

Alrighty, I've just recovered from a sunstroke I endured since last Thursday!! Haven't really been drawing a whole lot, what with the inability of my body to control it's own core temperature and all. So before I was so casually raped by the sun, I decided to get some leg and feet sketches down. Legs and feet are just so weird to draw. Plus I finally scanned a long pose from my life drawing class...

Random Girlies

They only speak to me, drawn, within the pages of my sketchbook and hidden away from the world.

Mistaken for an escaped Silverback.....again.

Aaaaaand a half month later I finally post something new. Have I mentioned that I'm a compulsive liar amongst other things (megalomaniac, narcissist, stunningly handsome; the list goes on and on people).

I should note that the roughs for my comic are complete (at least for now) and as soon as I get some final pencils, I'll have maybe 1/20th of a panel up on the blog!! That's the side of a building or somebody's hand!!!! You don't want to miss that.

So on to the art work. Went to the Santa Ana Zoo not long ago and got some sorely needed (obviously) animal drawing in.





Ewww, probably should have started with horses to warm 'em up.


Ok, this was destined to be my greatest horse drawing ever...And then the horse FUCKING MOVED!!!! DAMN YOU TO HELL FOUL MOVING HORSE DEMON!!

Life Drawing

The last month or so has been pretty busy for me. I've been working on a comic hopefully due out this summer which has taken up quite a bit of time. I'm also taking a life drawing class at El Camino College amongst other devious things. But that's no excuse for not posting. NOTHING IS!!

Anyways I'll start posting a little more now so expect another post soon. In the meantime, here are some ink washes from my life drawing class.

"Bad Ass" animation, jahv turkeys!

Hey so I've recently messed around with Flash CS4 and decided to do two things I haven't done for a while. 1) Post (or animate) an animation test and 2) Post this character near and dear to all our hearts. Ladies and gentle men, I give you the ever lovable, ever insightful, Bad Ass Man.

How To Start Your Sketchbook On A Positive

I really liked the challenge of trying to draw Yeagle's work so I decided to do a couple more pages.



I thought the animals came out much better than his girls. And specifically, i kept having an issue concerning the construction of their faces. All the features kept coming out off, EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO TRACE ONE (left, second one from the bottom)!!! Definitely more to come in the future.


And now for some random sketches:

Just call me.....SLING BLADES (uhhh, no relation to Karl Childers)!!!


And lastly and definitely least, here's a sketch of an (new) old buddy. That was supposed to be his tongue sticking out, but instead looks like a condom. So as an honorable artist, always seeking perfection, I of course............kept it in. I just assumed he loves the taste (who doesn't, right?).
