Update on the Koala project.

Hey, cool!!! First week of 08 back at work, and back on our cool pilot show thingy that we're developing, YAY!!!

So, I posted a few moments after the new years countdown, but, I didn't actually draw what i posted in the new year, i actually drew that, around 4 or 5pm the evening of new year's eve. And, i'm pretty sure I didn't draw new year's day. I ate some mexican food, and lied around feeling heavy and bloated, as is customary for one who has just fallen prey to the Meztiso delicacies.
So, here's the first drawing for 2008, wow, 2008!!! OMGosh,

So, back to work, back to the pitchy pitch pilot show thingy.

I did some lil sketches for what will be marble busts of either Gandolfini of DeNiro for a lil italian restaurant in our show.

It's a crazy quazi-nickelodeon-ish style I concocted from the farthest recesses of my mind. LOL,

Hopefully I'm not labled too much of a Biter. I just really like the Nick-n-cartoon network style/ moder UPA-ish stuff. (or whatever you call it)

Here are the first sketches for '08, from first to last, (well, last of the work day)
top to bottom.

Some more stuff for the Battle for OZ.

Happy new year everyone!!! It's a superstition in my family, that what ever you do the night of the new year, you will spend doing all year long. Hopefully that's true. I've been drawing all day today, and will probably keep at it for a few more hours.
I hope I DO spend this new year drawing, painting, maybe animating, and posting on this blog, and also participating in all the awesome forums!!!

Here's some more stuff for my participation on the Drawingboard.org, the Battle for OZ thread. This is the final design for the witch of the west. I'll be coloring her next. Stay tuned.

Some more of that lil project with Geoff.

I forgot to post this one.

A holiday weekend well spent. Not over yet though, muuuwwwaaahahahahaha!!!!

So, I'm really rusty on my animal life drawing. I'll get back on track. My teachers would be sooooo bummed. Sorry guys.

LA zoo animal life drawing.

LA zoo sketches

LA zoo sketches

A work in progress...

For Chucks show, not finished yet.

Random stuff.

Medusa. A work in progress.

Just some practice on photoshop painting, need more huh. I'll keep posting the progression.

Some peaks at a future project with a good bud.

Newset edition of my lil medusa peice.

I wanted to simplify her a lil more.

Goes to show what a lil practice and studying can do.

I've always been pretty good at drawing animals off the top of my head. When I worked at the LA zoo, as a caricature artist, that came in handy. Many times kids wanted to be drawn ridding or feeding a zoo animal. I could usually draw any animal they wanted, freehand, no reference or construction. the animal likenesses were decent, but I always strive for perfection.

I've been studying giraffes and rhinos lately. From books, videos, pics on the interwebz, you know, all the usual sources. and, I've studied them enough to be able to do an adequate sketch. However, I strive for more. Like Claire Wendling's animal drawings. That's my goal, to be able to caricature my two current muses like Claire has in one of her books. If you happen to know what I'm talking about, you know how great her work is.
Well, here's some sketches I did in church, off the top of my head. No ref.

Some more progress on "little things"

Oh man, guys, go check this out on Liquidgeneration.com
