An Other Old Sketch Got Some Attention

Old Sketches

These were old sketches that I forgot I scanned and never had the time to rework I finally got to the time to do it.

Portraits

Some of the portraits that I scanned and got to work on.

An Other Cowboy

Going back to the cowboy theme I just can't help it.

Location Design

A miscellaneous location design.

And Again from the Batch

More from the Scanning Session

Some More form the Scanning Session

Here are some roughs from the scanning session of weeks back and a couple that I quickly reworked as I was hoping.

Some Playing Arround

Last week i did some serious scanning ,about 6 months worth of sketches that I've been wanting to elaborate. Today I got the chance to play with some of them. Here are a couple.

Tring to Loosen Up

I really like Claudio Acciari's work here is a take on his approach.

Quick Paintings to Keep Loose

Some quick painting as I was waiting for my girlfriend to get ready to go to breakfast some Saturday and Sunday.

Zoo as Reference

Here are some sketches that I made during my zoo visits. I've been lucky enough to going twice a week since the beginning of the year, a couple of hours each visit, but I can now start to see the benefit of those visits in my work.

These compositions were made using what I saw as reference material. I've been trying my best to use what I see as inspiration for design; it isn't always easy, specially when it comes to animals. If there isn't a physiological, and behavioral understanding of the subject things tend to fall apart. I find looking at animals not only relaxing but also fascinating each species has a specific behavior and every individual of that species has a specific attitude, it can be a bit chubbier, more aggressive, and with a scar. All that makes them unique just like each one of the people that we know. If one slows down and looks one will be amazed to discover what is right in front of our noses.

I'll be posting some more of my zoo sketches as in the near future.

A Quickie

A quick sketch from this morning on the tram. Vegetation is something that I'm still working on...

Timmy and Terrance

During breakfast this weekend my girlfriend came up with a short story so today I did some sketches of the characters. Gouache is not my favorite medium but I wanted to try it out since many of the artist that I admire use it as one of their primary medium.

Got to Have Some Fun

Today I got to have some fun. Here are some of the doodles of the day. It was really freeing to be have the time to let thing flow out. Recently I've been doing work that is really detail oriented and rigid. This was such a treat!
