Here are 2 new pieces in my ink study series DC3. All done on 9×12 bristol smooth. As you can see, i took some liberties with a Brainiac redesign on the Superman villains piece as well as Wonder Woman’s costume.

Lost and Heroic Faces

November 26th, 2008 Administrator Posted in Uncategorized No Comments »

I’ve been practicing some portraiture work with Ebony pencil. Here are some I created in the past week:

Here is a montage based on the main characters from “Lost”. I drew this this on 9×12 Strathmore smooth bristol board.

Sketched this out with Ebony pencil on animation paper, the thin kind so the surface sucked a little bit. I chose this pose because it’s expressive, which is always a challenge. She often sports that intense, disenchanted look but she is obviously beautiful and it’s important to capture that, too. Also, with facial expressions, more lines appear on your face with different muscles being pulled and rendering that, you run the risk of aging the subject. She plays a 17 year old in Heroes so she must visually look like a teenager, no matter the mood.

This one is an exercise in graphite. While I usually use a wide range of lead grades, this one I decided to use just one, Ebony, which is really dark (equivalent to 8B or 9B maybe?). I drew this on a 9×12 smooth bristol board which took the lead really nicely. And I like how dramatic the shades came out.

Missed one whole month of workshop but now I am back. So weird to have missed some time though. The rough sketches are really rough and I have a difficult time deciding how to render something. But whatever. Let me know what you think…

Self Portrait in Charcoal

August 9th, 2008 Administrator Posted in Uncategorized No Comments »

I’ve rediscovered the joy of charcoal drawing recently. Yes, this is indeed me. I really wanted to use dramatic lighting and getting me in a dramatic mood isn’t so difficult. But I love the rawness charcoal strokes can deliver to a piece versus the control that I am accustomed to with pencils. I’ll definitely be using more charcoal with future pieces.

And I am less creepy looking in person. I think.
