More Marker Sketches and a Laker Game

Hello, again. Here are more marker pieces from my sketchbook. Same mediums as last time. I'm running out of ink in my copics, have to remember to pick up some new ones. Did these while on break during Jury Duty which I'll be tied up in until March. Booooo...Anyhow, I'm also posting some pictures of my cousins and I at the previous Laker game (Lakers vs. Hornets). We won in overtime. AWESOME game. Enjoy!

Marker Sketch Dump

Hello, hello, hello. I know it's been a while, but here are some marker pieces from my sketchbook. This time and from now on I will be adding a watermark to my work because a lot of artists I follow and know have been ripped off a lot for their work lately. Can't imagine anyone that would want to steal my artwork when there's so much better out there but hey, safety first! Anyhow, I did the Wolvie and Ang with Prisma tonals, but the Warrior dude I did with Copic tonals which I like using better. I also used white charcoal for the highlights. I tried to make these ones rather quick. 15-20 minutes a piece give or take. I'll be dumping some more soon from my sketchbook. I have jury duty (blah) like this whole month so I have A LOT of time to sketch. Things are great. And how about them Lakers huh?!?!? =D Woohoo! Just came off of beating Boston for the second time and today we beat the Cavaliers for the second time, snapping their at home winning streak for the season! Both without Bynum (hope he gets well VERY soon) and the latter without a 100% Kobe (get well soon Mamba)! It is GOOD to be a Laker fan. Til' here, Peace.

Watch the birdie!

Hello all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I haven't posted in a while, I know. But, good news. Things are better than they were since I've last posted. Anyhow, here's a bird that I did in Photoshop. Sketched and painted with my Wacom Bamboo. I'm going to keep this short...yeah... Aight, peace out.

Thoughts and Rorschach

Hello, again. So before I launch into explaining this piece I would like to shed some light on what I've been up to and what's been happening lately.

I recently graduated college. Woohoo! It felt that way for about the first two weeks then I began to find myself being extremely bored very often regardless of all the art I was producing. At one point, I wanted to make a phone call using the house phone, so I walked around my house for about thirty minutes to discover that we didn't have a house phone anymore! Makes sense though, who needs one with all these cell-phones nowadays? Then after many profound things going on in my brain, I started to doubt my value as an artist.

BUT! Good news. There are things in the works and they are beginning to look up. I'll be posting up soon, hopefully, on how things turn out. But for now, on to the post!

Very cool character from Watchmen. Reading it again lately. Trying to refresh memory for the movie soon to be released. Lying in sketchbook for a while. Thought it time to post. Materials used: HB Graphite Pencil, Tombow Brush Pen, Prisma Color Markers, White Charcoal. Must take note of charcoal smearing if left in sketchbook for too long.

Peace (haha)

Batgirl

Here's another character from the Batman universe, Cassandra Cain. Also known as the new Batgirl. This was done for one of my friend's girlfriend. She dug the Catwoman I did and requested for Batgirl. I used the same materials as I did on the other ones. This one was pretty fun to do as well. I wasn't too familiar with the character so I had to do some research. Plenty fun. I want to do Solomon Grundy next. If I have time I will. Til' here. Peace

Catwoman

Hey again, I thought I would add another character from the Batman universe. There is a rumor floating around that she may make an appearance in the next movie? Played by Angelina Jolie? Hmm...interesting. I don't know if I agree with that, but I think I can trust the Nolan brothers to make the right decision as they have been doing. Anyhow, plenty fun this one. I used the same materials I used for the Joker. Hope you guys dig it. Peace!

Why So Serious?

Here it is, folks! The tribute that I said I would do for Heath Ledger. RIP Heath, fantastic job as the Joker. If you haven't seen the Dark Knight yet, SEE IT. This piece was especially fun to do for a number of reasons. One, because of all the mixed media that I got to use: HB Pencil, Blue Col-Erase, Red Col-Erase, Green Col-Erase, White Charcoal, and Copic Ink. Two, because it reminds me of the Joker in the new film and how awesome it is! Bottom line, Dark Knight, see it. Peace.
