At last, they are done!

Here are the rest of the dunk team illustrations. These were definitely a challenge. But I like how they turned out. So no more basketball pictures for a while. I promise.

Also, I'm done with all of my general classes except for math. I'm SUPER excited! Now if any one knows how to get through math classes faster let me know. I'm dying to get these done.

I have more free time now so I might be posting more stuff. Enjoy!

Dunk Team # 2

Here are some more Verve Sol Patrol dunk team illustrations. I focused more on the gesture and action of what they were doing. I sketched them over and over until they seemed right. This makes for a much easier time painting them. And it’s seems to take less time. These are really fun to do.

Hopefully I will have more done by the weekend.

Dunk Team

This is the first of several images I'm doing for the Suns: Verve Sol Patrol. I would love some feedback on what's working and what's not. More to come.

Jazz Van Update

I'm excited to share these images with everyone. They show the outcome of the new Jazz Van wrap featuring my art work of Bear. Everything else that's not the Bear was done by Vision International. I really like how it turned out. It was a lot of fun to work with the Jazz and Vision International. I hope to see it in person some time. Thanks guys!

Now I have to get off the Internet and draw.

Digital Figure Drawing

This is my first attempt at digital figure drawing. It was done in 45 min in corel painter. Jenny while she watches a movie.

Jazz New Logo

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Utah Jazz have changed their logo back to the jazz note and updated their colors as well. I think it looks a lot better than their last several logos.
I was recently commissioned to update some of the illustrations I had done for them in the past. It also gave me an opportunity to touch up some things that I wanted to fix on some of them.
So, next time you are at a Jazz game, look for these pictures of the Jazz Bear. They are also going to be on Bear’s Van. I’m pretty excited that they would want to put these on their van and drive everywhere. Thanks Bear!
Oh! And, on a side note, I’ve finally updated my phone to a Motorola Droid X. I hope there is some kind of doodling or drawing app for it. I’m pretty excited about it.

Happy 4th of July 2010

This was just a quick value study of Darth Vader that grew into this. I added some color. This was done in Corel Painter X with a tablet. Also, Star Wars is an excellent movie! Happy 4th of July!

King of Laziness

I took a figure drawing class last summer from Adam Ford. In it he talked a lot about gesture. So I’ve been doing a lot of gesture sketches in my sketch book when I get the chance. I’m still trying to figure out what he’s been talking about. I’ve also been reading both of the Drawn to life: Walt Stanchfield Lecture books. He also talks A LOT about gesture.
I captured a gesture of one of my brothers lying on the couch the other day, and then some guy at lunch eating something. It only takes like a minute and then I let them sit in my book for awhile. After some time I came back to them with some Prismacolor markers. I think they came out a lot better than just sketching from my head. The gesture really helps put a story into it. Better than anything I can come up with. I really enjoyed making my brother into the king of laziness and the guy at lunch into a sad robot.

Father's day

This is what I did for my Dad for Father's day this year. He's always been asking if I could put my nephews face (Mayson) on a picture of his dad in cowboy hat. Well, I couldn't find one so I took a picture of his great grandpa in the service and combined them. It took about 3 hours in Painter. And He liked it.

Jenny's Thing

Well, this looks gross! But that's what it looks like. My wife had a procedure and temporarily has this thing on her leg . It's sort of a blister. I believe it has bones and baby teeth inside swimming in the puss. So I had to capture it. I did this in painter in about 5 min. Gross! But my wife is still hot :)

New Blog Finally

School has died down enough for me to do what I want. I've been sick and tired of my wordpress blog. It's still cool but it takes forever to get anything on the web. So I have created this new blog! Hooray! I would like to dump all of the art I've been creating for the past couple of months right here. Some... most of these were done in like a half hour. Because that's all the time I have when I'm not doing school work or working. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.
