me and some friends went to stanford today to go drawing, it was fun, but very hard i need more practice with buildings, and as always landscape painting is so hard because the light changes so very fast
colored pencil and some water color washes


and i just want to thank all you guys who look at my blog and comment, its really nice

ladies

i saved this one guess i liked how it looked all screwy




i've still been thinking about what i could say about markers

orange background

here's a drawing i did, it was over a bad figure drawing in blue pencil, then i drew in a monster head in a bic pen, used some marker in some places, using a 70 percent cool grey a celery green and a cad red, added some lights in white goache and then layed in an orange background by mixing some white, some naples yellow and some cad red, i was gonna crop it so the background was a perfect orange rectangle but i liked the paintstrokes around the bleed so i left it un cropped. i think i did some other stuff too i cant remember, looks like i used a blue pencil aswell

these composite images are so fun to make, just letting elements occupy the same space on a page and making it work

markers

to answer your question Jason, i use 3 brands
AD -Tria - Prismacolor



maybe later i can try and write a cohesive marker manifesto ...

i always have test pages like this lying around, because when you are coloring something you have the test page on the side so you can check a markers condition on the side, if its too grainy then maybe you need to through it out or sometimes its not the color you thought you wanted

photoshop test

finally decided to plug in my tablet, so i just grabbed a doodle to color in photoshop, it felt wierd, its been about a year exactly since i last used photoshop.

bunch of doodles

some of the ones with unusual texture were drawn while i was sitting in pouring rain, so the paper got soaked, it was a lot of fun

some random sketches
