More Bible Study Studies

Bogie! Bogie!

I did 2 pages as part of a community comic book project a while ago, here are the results. Be sure to read the whole thing here!

sunday sketches

Here's some of the sketches that fall out of my pencils, pens, markers, or whatever utensil I have handy while taking in sermons on a Sunday morning. a few are cheaters as they actually were drawn at a Wednesday night Bible study.
this one actually was done over a series of 2 sundays and a wednesday night:


and a landscape done with markers on an odd glossy-type paper that doesn't absorb the ink right away, allowing the markers to smudge and blend with one another, which leads to some interesting possibilities for marker-coloring techniques:
an aborted attempt at combining colored pencils and marker:

just doodling around led to this wolfish sketch:
an assortment of cats:
a portrait done on the sly during a bible study:

a sketch of my nephew done this summer:several quick caricatures done in bible study:

and a fancy marker-and-ink caricature done at a coffeehouse on that glossy marker paper:
I started to do the side-men but ran out of time before I had to leave:
and an assortment of non-representational experiments in texture, form , color, etc:


well, mostly non-representational:

the lion's charge

another colored pencil sketch I did this evening.


playing with it (too much) in photoshop:


the whole page, including a thumnail sketch in the margins (it was on 12x9 paper):

suppertime

Just some doodlin' I did yesterday evening.

Heart of Darkness

a ball-point pen sketch inspired by Joseph Conrad's story, Heart of Darkness. loosely inspired. the trees are admittedly North American in shape & foliage. but conceptually it's inspired by that book.Then i decided to ruin it by adding odd colors with markers. I did this on a photocopy, so that I'd still have the original b& w. the color seems to add a whole different meaning to the image, gives it and entirely different feel. i kind of like it, though it's certainly not much like how I pictured Conrad's story (with the colors, that is).

Wen's'day Comics Volume 4 Issue 4

the second cartoon in the Margin of Error is actually a true story that happened to my mother when she was shopping with my youngest brother (there are 6 kids total, with myself the eldest). I had planned to have this page out last week, with this panel my nod to mother's day, but you'll have to accept it now, 1.5 weeks late. :-)

Wen's'day Comics Volume 4 Issue 3

hey! I'm baaack... with new comics, even!!!
While this week's edwin is not OFFICIALLY part of the upcoming multi-parter, i'm calling it part 1, just 'cuz it's thematically related.
Also, I'm going to apologize in advance to anyone who is offended by the second 1-panel gag in the Margin of Error section... it's a pun, and I'm fully aware some folks are put off by them.
whatever, though...see you guys soon with the next installment!! (just as soon as i can set ink to paper, scan it all in and color it...)

animated cartoon, scene 30

worked on my short film a bit today; this scene: Here's what I did today:



This is just a cg model I created to help me get a rough idea of the perspective I need for a shot in my short film. It was quicker than making an actual model and photographing/filming it. timing and animation are pretty much poop, but it at least get me an idea of how the car looks from the angles I need to draw out the scene.
