Happy 75th Anniversary to the Joker

Just a quick piece of DC's the Joker, for his 75th Anniversary which was last week.

Do you smell something?

I did this T-shirt design recently, for a company in Germany that trains bloodhounds to track people- how cool is that?!

Quick bunny doodle

Still trying to figure out how to draw with my wacom the way I do with traditional medium. I have the basic sketching part down, but can't get a satisfactory final line- it's still too rough for anything but a doodle. Baby steps, baby steps.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Something a little different today:

I'm going to give myself a break this week and take some time off from the blog. Be sure to check back Monday the 29th for new stuff. Until then, be thankful!

Feed Me!

I was obsessed with the film, Little Shop of Horrors when I was a kid. I just thought it was amazing. And the colors available on Odosketch seemed appropriate to try a sketch of this mean green mother. Click on it to watch how it was drawn.

Like I said, Odosketch is really addicting. Click the image to watch how it was drawn.

Now go do one yourself!

Later Gator

Rewatching Princess and the Frog the other night I was inspired to doodle an alligator. I wanted to try a quick digital one, keeping it rough and loose. Mildly happy with the results.

Here Puppy!

I'm trying to figure out the best way to do some loose sketchy stuff on my Wacom. It's really tough to make it look spontaneous. I had to erase and redraw that tongue outline 4 times and it still looks terrible. But I like the color.

Digital girl: Take 2

After putting it off for a long time, I finally updated my Wacom Tablet's drivers and sure enough it made a huge difference in performance. It was working but lacked pen pressure sensitivity now. Before, it would make one consistently thick line- now with the new drivers, the line is thicker when I push harder and tapers to a thin line as I lessen the pressure. Also it tracks my pen differently on the screen, which makes an even bigger difference (but is going to be hard to get used to). Anyway, some time back I had attempted a drawing totally digitally, no scanned sketch first. The results weren't very satisfying.

Fuzzy and indecisive, I had to scribble in place on the screen just to find where the pen was. Admittedly I've had a lot of traditional practice with the subject matter since then (I've been drawing girls a lot more), but the driver upgrades really did help too.

What do you think? She's really overworked, but kind of on purpose because I was experimenting with the different features so much that I just kept working long after I was happy with it. That light blue underdrawing is digital too, by the way.

And I really should point you back to the site that made me try this in the first place, the blog of the super talented, rediculously gifted Jenny Lerew, whose work you can see here. I've said it before and I'll say it again, her work is so good it will make you mail your nightshirt to Detroit, Michigan parcel post.
