Harold the friendly troll

Jul 24

“A rather somber Harold stood quietly as he poured himself a cup of tea.  The morning was looking up.  It was going to be a good day…”

So the other day I had this funny vision of a friendly troll living under Irvine bridge. He was one of those creatures that everyone feared, yet he was a very kind hearted chap.  He even enjoys a good cup of tea. Here I am again trying this new watercolor process.  I do hope you enjoy it :)

Master Builder

I’m experimenting with this new technique for me and I thought I would share some of my struggles. This piece has been fun but very educational.  It didn’t go the direction I wanted it to thus, I am posting what I have and moving on to a new project.  Perhaps a giraffe.

Anywho, my buddy Avery loves to build and even though he just plays with blocks in his mind he creates a masterpiece.

Enjoy.

Cheese Please

Jun 08

cheese-please final

Cheese Please has been a fantastic learning project.  I am developing a new process, that includes both digital and tradition medium.  I started with a digital sketch, after looking at elephants for a bit.  Elephants are fascinating creatures, and are a joy to draw.  I just love their big round shape! The reason this project is such a big deal is because all the texture is from the watercolor.  Watercolor and the paper create amazing natural texture and need no supplementary texture, a process that I have been experimenting with.

The Process

  1. Digital sketching from photo references
  2. Pencil sketching for final composition and last minute changes
  3. Final drawing on watercolor paper
  4. Scan line drawing into Photoshop
  5. Tradition watercolor over line drawing
  6. Scan water color into Photoshop
  7. Line drawing is place over watercolor for line coloring and to help the line stand out
  8. Color correction and digital painting over the watercolor

model – digital watercolor.

Once again I am experimenting with digital watercolor.  I think the technique has drastically improved since the pig illustration.  Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hunter In Training

My brother peter and I used to play together all the time when we were young.  We did all sorts of strange and exciting things.  For Christmas this year I made him the following painting. Little did he know that his messing around with a bow would later land him a world champ in archery (3rd in devision).  So here is to my brother..cheers.

purple monster

Dec 13

This one seriously made me laugh.  A fairly in-depth conversation between Sam, Christina and between the sketch on the left and the sketch on the right.  We had to decide what that character looked like under all that fur.  Christina also thought he should be purple.monters1
