I dream about Superman

I love it when I have funny dreams. Last night I dreamt that I was helping out Superman because Bizzaro had stolen some crystals that were needed to save the Earth. On our way to get the crystals back, we stopped at a community centre to have lunch. We both got pulled pork sandwiches. I was mad because I really hate pork and won't eat it. Then I woke up, ready for Tuesday.

More life drawings and paintings

Soon I will get around to posting something other than life drawing....for now here's some more life drawing. The top painting is an acrylic study, the middle drawings are life drawings where I added some costumes, and the bottom sketches are from the most recent dr.sketchy's

Edit* Here is a non life drawing doodle

burlesque life drawing

Here are some drawings from Dr. Sketchy's a couple weeks back. Some of the drawings got a bit smushed after scanning and reassembly in Photoshop.

lost and found

I meant to post this guy a little while ago. I forgot, and then he got absorbed into the giant pile of forgotten drrawings on my floor.

some sketches

Here is a sketch from a few nights back and some life drawing.

I think I would post more if I didn't hate scanning sooooooooo much. Everything I draw is always too big to fit in the scanner and I have to scan it in pieces and then reassemble in Photoshop. poo.

100

Since I haven't posted in over two months, here is a smattering of stuff I've thought about posting, but never got around to it.

I should have known better than to colour something digitally outside of work....can never muster up the enthusiams to sit in front of the computer longer than I need to....hence the scribbliness. I may still do a marker versions of this guy.
tiny and quick sketch to play with oils.
I think I may have done this last year.
She is somebody's baby.
This is a bad digital pic of the lizard butI am too lazy to take a better one. It's the biggest thing I've completed in a long time. About 19x24ish. Actaully, it's one of the only things I've completed in a long time.

another rough

quick and random

just playing for a bit.

Cowboys

Last night I finally watched the MNgnificent Seven. I drew some cowboys!

I don't know how to draw guns very well...

mean ladies

I've started doing some random paintings where I just start painting and see what comes out. Usually it turns into a portrait of a nasty looking woman.

here is a big fat sketch dump of what I doodle on the way to work in the morning, and at the opera.

new toy

*edit*

I got to play more this morning!

this year I got a cintiq sized tax return. then my computer busted and so I got a new computer too. Andrzej was kind enough to spend all day building the new computer for me today and now all the new stuff is set up and it's bed time but I did a quick sketch just to make sure that my new stuff is all really cool.

my colleagues at work were kind enough to remind me that a cintiq will not make me a better drawer. I will try to keep that it mind.

lalalala-lifedrawing

Here, have some life drawing. I have piles and piles of it. I sorted through some of it and put aside "good" drawings", but now I've lost them. These ones are from last week. I'm pretty sure I have enough life drawing to feed a small country. Like Denmark.

heavy

This was too big for the scanner, so please excuse the crappy photography. This started out as something for illustration friday about 4 weeks ago, and I was like "I'm going to do an illustration every week"
....but then I didn't.

Two down....

I finished another one!

I finished one!!!

tralala, I am productive.

unfinished illustrations

Lately I've noticed a theme in my work. That theme is "unfinished." Hopefully soon I'll be able to do more with them. I'm posting these mostly because it's been over a month since my lasy post.

Here are some quick colour sketches.

sidne sylvestri wears her cats

yes she does. they seem to like it.

promises promises

sooooo...I've been having trouble completing anything lately. I thought I would post the roughs for this painting as a way of making me finish it eventually.
