Head shape exercise

2011-12-14T19:08:00.000-08:00

It went a bit farther than I was planning...but it was fun :D

ok,so its not a girl

2011-12-09T15:27:00.000-08:00

I guess I'm just gonna go by feel and draw what I'm feeling at that moment. I am keeping up with drawing girls though. Maybe I'll post the last one in a bit...Anyways,this spidey is a quick sketch for a fanart piece that I'm doing. I rarely do full pieces,so I'm gonna force myself to do it. So far go the bg layed out...more to come.

Marvel's Spiderman

2011-12-01T01:03:00.000-08:00

Did this study from a photo from either The Sartorialist,or Facehunter...I forget. Anyways,I just lightly used it as ref,as she doesn't really look like the girl in the photo. I'm gonna try to keep this up,doing these speedpaints and girl drawings...it's been fun

2011-11-30T19:29:00.000-08:00

2011-11-30T00:02:00.001-08:00

making up for a girl a day

2011-11-29T00:32:00.000-08:00

I got caught up doing sculpting in sculptris from pixelogic...so I did 4 today to warm up and make up for the women I wasn't drawing...for the next month it'll just be women and environments

one more for now

2011-11-25T02:31:00.001-08:00

He's Red...It's not cuz of allergies

banging out a girl a day...

2011-11-24T23:45:00.001-08:00

Well,I hope I can stick to this...I wanna draw a girl a day for at least a month in order to get more comfortable drawing them. I realize I don't do it enough...so,here's day 1

Some randoms

2011-11-24T13:58:00.001-08:00

I'm gonna try to get more variety in here...try my hand at some environments,vehicles,women...

2nd set

2011-09-10T15:22:00.001-07:00

still trying to feel my way around this...I actually like the first one I did better (right)...I like a more chunky look.

speedpaints

2011-09-08T02:01:00.000-07:00

hehe,I want to do one at least a few times a week to get better doing digital painting...whether I actually do it remains to be seen...anyways...here

been awhile...I've been busy...but here's something I'm gonna finish in a bit...working on it currently...they are the pack...or if i can find a cooler name they'll be named that...maybe they won't even have a name,that might be cooler...anyways,it's a concept for a new comic that I wanna do...no promises though.

ongoing not Abel progression

2010-09-14T23:23:00.000-07:00

Hi,here's where I'm at...I'm gonna show it to my talented peers and ask for feedback...anyways,i still have some ways to go i think...after this...I'm gonna tackle the one that many tried and failed...I'm gonna try to build a decent HULK...sorry for the red clay again...

Not Abel

2010-09-09T00:04:00.001-07:00

Here you go Dylan Candice and Creese,tear me a new one...

just a quicky

2010-08-30T23:20:00.001-07:00

Still drawing...nothing special though...anyways,i was looking at Rad Sechrist's blog...and was inspired by his cool looking zombie

anyways,who knows when I'll post again...working on some zbrush,maybe i'll post that...

which one?

2010-02-11T17:00:00.001-08:00

I'm thinking the first one...the others are cuz i was inspired by the art of Harvey James...really awesome artist...check out his work...http://www.maudevintage.com/jamesharvey/

enjoy

zbrush sculpt

2010-01-11T11:11:00.000-08:00

Zbrush,early stages...if you can't guess who I'm sculpting,then I can't help you :P
getting easier everytime...ears need so much work,so with the whole thing,but i'm happy with my progress...I'll see if i can take it to a finished product...if not that,then something else,but just as cool...

New Years Resolution

2009-12-15T15:56:00.001-08:00

It's early I know...and knowing me,I'll prob abandon it early...but I'll try to remind myself to do it and not give up on this...whats my resolution? Abandoning lineart for year. Maybe not totally,but at least 90% of the time...so this is the year of digital painting for me...

Coloring exercise

2009-10-13T08:44:00.001-07:00

I'm not really happy with the drawing and the proportions of my character or anything,but I'm trying to get better with color choices and coloring techniques in general...tried the colored line out,and i love it...I feel it'll be a mainstay in my work from now on :)

Faces

Sad day in the comics world...Mike Wieringo passed away at the age of 44. He was always on http://www.drawingboard.org

Hope you're in a better place now Mike...

Yo my peeps(I know there are a few of you out there)it's been a while since I've updated this blog of mine...Anyways,I've been busy lately and the reason I don't post so much anymore is cuz I got lazy. I didn't want to scan stuff in...fortunately,I found a good solution...I'm taking pics of the art now,and it's much easier to get on this blog.

Anyways,I still love Keith and The Girl...so go and check that out...I don't care if there are people out there who think I just mention Keith and The Girl to get hits...I aint makin any cash from my blog yo,I'm just promoting my one of my favorite podcasts...so if you got a problem with that,thats on you...

2007-02-22T21:46:00.000-08:00

tonights speedpaint. I'm still trying to be more efficient and economic with my strokes. I still need alot of work. Still trying to figure things out...anyways,couldn't do speedpaints the last little while cuz I've been busy with work and my new anatomy class. I'm learning at basic inquiry from Justin Ogilvie...very talented artist and teacher and really nice guys. If you are in Vancouver Canada,and you want to improve your grasp of anatomy or portraiture,go see him. Check his website at...

www.justinogilvie.com

Finally,Brumski...Wanna know what that means? Go check out keith and the girl...

www.keithandthegirl.com

have a good night y'all

2007-02-19T11:44:00.000-08:00

speedpaint for this morning...this girl was pretty and white...now she's ugly and looks a bit asian.
Oh well. Anyways,I'm gonna continue with this 30min speedpainting for a while,then maybe do some 1 hours in the future. If any of you have any tips,crits,feel free e-mail or leave a comment.

peace y'all

fave podcast...
keith and the girl

2007-02-19T00:33:00.000-08:00

ughhh...tried some 30 min speedpaints today...so far...terrible,but I'll work on it...

anyways,here they are...I'm gonna try to do another one just to make up for this crap if I don't pass out first...

anyways...

whats that? My favorite podcast...

2007-02-18T00:01:00.000-08:00

yo yo yo,

here's the speedpaint for today,and a little of the life drawing I've been doing lately. The speedpaint,I'm happier with...It's still not that chunky style that I want,but it's alot better than my previous attempts...at least I think so. Anyways...check it...

speaking of check...check out the best podcast there is...

at...www.keithandthegirl.com
I was listening to the latest episode where keith,chemda,and the bunch went to some food tasting thing...funny stuff...plus I also learned that if you're going to NY,and you wanna go for italian,avoid little italy...hehe,thats where I would have went first for italian...

later...

2007-02-17T00:30:00.000-08:00

speedpaint for tonight...finished early...I'm getting used to painting on my tablet...It's such a change from doing art on my cintiq at work...I guess its good practice though. I'll try to do a paint at work to see if theres any difference. Anyways,I'm getting happier with painting,but I'm realizing that my pallette sucks...oh well,I'll work on that...

anyways,go check out the keith and the girl podcast...the episode...spooky is a hoohah...hilarious...almost up to 500 episodes and still going strong. That's gotta tell you something.

Check the show out,buy some of their swag...I got a few hoodies and the baseball shirt with the green sleeves...that ones my fave...

www.keithandthegirl.com

2007-02-16T01:08:00.000-08:00

just finished this speedpaint...1 hour. tried some new brushes...still not there,but I'm happier with this one...also did life drawing tonight...gonna post those tomorrow maybe...

go to www.keithandthegirl.com
you have no idea what you're missing out on...the stuff is gold...one listen,I was hooked.

later y'all

2007-02-15T22:36:00.000-08:00

speedpaint from yesterday...didn't post yesterday cuz my internet wasn't working....anyways,here it is...I'm trying to do the same pic as the day before...I'll try it again tonight if I can...

anyways....peace y'all

you ever watch Lost,it was cool last night...not the best I've seen,but better than the one before...hopefully it gets crazier...

Finally,regarding Keith and the Girl. I recently got a post asking how many hits I get on my blog from Keith and the Girl. I'm not sure,I don't really know how to check that. I'm not sure if the guy was just curious or wondering if I was doing something shady. I'm definitely not doing anything shady. I'm just a fan of the podcast,and I think they deserve as many fans as they can get.

I could care less if my blog becomes famous. Its just a record of my progress as an artist. I don't even put my good work on this blog...just my experiments...I don't know what else to say,except,I'm still gonna promote Keith and the Girl. When I say,go check out keith and the girl,that's exactly what I mean.

go check out the podcast...

really!

2007-02-13T21:37:00.000-08:00

went a bit over on tonights speedpaint...hehe,it kills me that I went over...even though it was 1 min. When I set the 1 hour limit,I can't help but feel I gotta stick to that. Anyway,it was ok. I tried a new brush,not perfect,still gotta find the right brush.

So here it is...getting there slowly

anyways,this girl I know is now hooked on keith and the girl. I'm telling ya,you gotta give it a try...

www.keithandthegirl.com

later y'all

2007-02-12T23:14:00.000-08:00

hehe,I turned a beautiful girl ugly with this peice...still I had fun and learned some stuff. One thing I learned,is that I gotta start making some custom brushes. Being lazy and using the default brushes is not working great. I try to do some this weekend...

Also,here are some sketches from the weekend with the sketchgroup...

peace...

I got a few friends to give keith and the girl a chance...and they liked what they heard...so what does that tell you? Go and get your katg fix yo! shout outs to Ro and Sunny(aka,baruka's agent),glad you gave katg a try...

2007-02-11T23:54:00.000-08:00

speedpaint for today...it took just a tiny bit over and hour to do...a few seconds or so...hehe,I was keeping track. Anyways,I don't know...its ok,not the best,just kind of ok...

I met with the vancouver conceptart.org group today...got some sketches done...I'll post them tomorrow if I get a chance to scan.

my favorite podcast?

2007-02-11T00:43:00.000-08:00

Uhhh,getting better...but still not there. I like working chunky,it's something I wanna develop further...so if you're following my progress(probably not,hehe)then look forward to alot more chunkiness in the future. If you're wondering,I do use photoref for these speedpaints. They're just for practice...just doing em to get better...not for any profits...just straight education

Just give keith and the girl one listen. They're just really great personalities...you'll get hooked.
find em at...www.keithandthegirl.com

peace y'all

2007-02-10T00:21:00.000-08:00

another speedpaint...I rarely do any landscapes...so this feels like pretty much a first for me...
I don't know what to think about it...I just want to keep going and hopefully in the future,I can do cool landscapes like Sparth,Dylan Cole,Dusso etc...etc.

gonna try and keep doing speedpaints on a regular basis...

Ah well,I'm off to listen to some keith and the girl...
you can listen to...

Long time...new year

2007-02-03T22:58:00.000-08:00

Wow...long time no post. I went on a month break from drawing during the Christmas holidays...you know how it is...too much stuff to do...couldn't do any art. Anyways,I be back...been doing art again slowly over the last month. Even now I still feel real rusty.

First art I'm posting in the new year...I'm trying something new...speedpainting. I really wanna get my speed up,especially for my work. This first piece is pretty much my first speed painting ever. It's harder than I thought. I'll try to keep it up though. Then I can look at my work in a years time,and hopefully see myself get progressively better. The piece is very crude and embarassingly bad,but I'm looking at it as a learning experience,so it's all good.

Two artists I recently started liking alot...

First is David Levy...www.vyle-art.com
He was recently featured in the latest issue of ImagineFX(great magazine by the way)
His images are amazing. I can't really describe it,you'll have to go check it out for yourself.

Second,someone you probably already know...
Sparth,at www.sparth.com
Again,he's amazing,his landscapes are unbelievable. I'm working on getting as good as these guys,but it's gonna be a while.

That's about it...

Last,I'd like to promote my fave podcast again(I'm not being payed to say this,their show is just that good.)...Keith and the girl...

Yo what's up everybody?
New pics...

Did these drawings at my weekly sketchgroup meeting. I'm trying my hand at doing more vehicles from now on. If you check here regularly,you'll be able to see my progress. Hopefully I can keep it up. I'm terrible at drawing cars,but I'm gonna make an effort to get good.

Well,I'm off to read the new issue of ImagineFX...theres alot of cool tips in there. Check it out if you get the chance.

Last but certainly not least,
check out the awesome podcast...

They're so entertaining...you gotta give em a listen...

2006-11-28T07:28:00.000-08:00

Hey All,

Here's the cleaned version of a pic I did a little while back. Gonna go to the coloring stage soon. Anyways,what's new? Not much...Bought some DJ gear,gonna do a bit of mixing. Scratching just doesn't seem to do it for me.

I'm also doing alot of life drawing,gonna start painting again sometime in the near future. Just doing as much as I can to make myself better as an artist.

On another note,I saw the Borat movie. I'm a big fan of his,so I was really excited to see the movie. I guess it was hyped too much,because I didn't like it as much as I expected. I mean,the movie is funny...I just wasn't laughing all the way through like I was with Nacho Libre. Maybe because I didn't expect Nacho Libre to be a good movie...Oh well,I guess I'll go see Bond next. Maybe even the fountain...

later.

yo yo yo,

met up with the sketchgroup today. Did a bit of drawing...here are the results...the sketch is a work in progress that I'm gonna clean and paint. I think it will go towards the book project I'm working towards.

some more life drawing from today. I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with life drawing now,but I still got a long way to go...

anyways,today,I was on the bus and this old guy came to the front of the bus and told the bus driver to speed up so he can catch his next bus...so the bus driver deliberately slowed down and purposely made it so that he couldn't make the light. I couldn't believe it. I guess theres some lesson to be learned there.

Also,yesterday,I saw Kenny from "Kenny vs. Spenny"walking up Robson street. Man I love that show...

On a final note...

Yo what's up everybody?

Finally,I'm keeping this blog a regular thing. I don't know what it is,but I'm drawing alot more lately. I'm really inspired by artists like ashley wood and J.C Leyendecker. They have really cool styles.

Anyways,I'm planning an artbook some time with a bunch of friends from work. I'll post more news here when I learn more about it. I'm really excited,and I'm gonna do all new artwork for this book...

Heres a pic of a work in progress...its supposed to be diddy,but to me its not quite there yet...If you wanna see some cool art,some really cool celeb portraits,and some cool tatoo paintings,check out shawn barber

2006-10-29T22:16:00.000-08:00

Sketchsession today...had a good time. They were playing Destinys Child's Christmas album at the coffe shop where we hung out...

A little too early for those songs,but it reminded me of the Christmas' I had as a child...not cuz of Beyonce's voice,just the songs which they sang. Not my favorite album,but some songs when sung by the right people,can be really great. I like the Boney M Christmas album for some reason.

I also checked out Sarah McLachlan's new christmas album and it sounds kinda cool...she doesn't over do it like some other musicians.

Anyways,heres a weird drawing...My friend Sunny recommended that I add mustaches...so I did...

2006-10-01T21:03:00.000-07:00

whats new...nothing much.

Yo yo yo y'all,What's up?

Work is good,life is good,nothing to complain about.
Anyways,I started drawing alot again and it feels great. Went to life drawing today,here's some of the stuff I did,and also a drawing from a sketchgroup session that I did a week ago.

Time to promote some stuff that I love...

I'm really gonna try and update more often

No art

2006-07-08T16:54:00.000-07:00

No new art,just a few strange things I've seen lately.

Anyways,have you ever seen a U.F.O before?

I'm positive that I did.

About a week ago,my family came up from Calgary to Vancouver to visit for the Canada day long weekend. We were driving along,I was riding shot gun,and I noticed something kinda bright in the sky. I looked up,and at first I was confused. The object wasn't a bird,it was too short to be a Boeing and too long to be one of those small Cessna planes. It looked like a silverish white almond flying in the sky.

It was moving pretty quick. It didn't zip around,but just flew forward in a constant motion,faster than any plane I've ever seen,but slow enough for me to track it. Anyways,it was a beautiful day,bright blue sky and no clouds anywhere near the silverish object. The weird thing is as I was tracking this object,in a split second,it suddenly vanished. It was like it turned on it's cloaking device(he,like star trek). It's not like it faded as it got farther away,it was still visibly big from where I was watching it,and then it was gone just like that.

The crappy thing was,I just got a new cell phone with a camera,and I didn't remember that I could have taken a picture of the So,I was kicking myself for that.

I think it's a U.F.O,but that's just my opinion.

Another funny thing I saw that same day,an asian guy with long hair a Hitler mustache. I guess you had to be there. It was pretty shocking. I took a picture of it with my camera phone,but I think the guy knew I was taking a picture of him,so out of guilt,I deleted the picture.

That's it...I'm off to watch UFC 61 bitter rivals...
My picks are...Tito punishing Shamrock,and the pit bull knocking Silvia out. I like tim silvia,but I think if the pit bull catches him with one of those punches,he's going down.

see ya

2006-06-05T22:50:00.000-07:00

well...As you can see by this post,I haven't exactly kept up with my new years resolution. I'm still trying to make an effort though. Still trying to get some life drawing in and work on drawing women. I'll post some when I'm not totally embarrased to show em.

Anyways,busy with work. I'll try to post weekly or semi weekly. I draw new stuff all the time. The problem is,most of the time I'm too tired to post em. I'll try to make more of an effort though.

Anybody into podcasts?
My favorites are...

Keith and the girl(best podcast ever. Just Keith and Chemda talking about alot of different topics...hilarious!)

The Sinigang(filipino american podcast about life in Virginia Beach,VA...very funny stuff)

Ghostly talk,Haunted New Jersey,Mysterious Universe,and Hometown Tales(all basically about Ghosts,strange stories and the paranormal)

Peace,
heres a pic

I didn't break my resolution

2006-01-29T14:42:00.000-08:00

I didn't break my new years resolution of just drawing mostly women this year...
these guy sketches were done before the new year,and the girl in the middle done last night.
I'm gonna try to get some more full body characters in soon.

Can't help but post

2006-01-28T17:54:00.000-08:00

I can't help it...I gotta post this too. This is a sketch I did recently...I'm gonna clean it up and color it in photoshop...stay tuned
