Even though I prefer media that have either an eraser or an undo button, it was still fun. A few of the drawings I did are below:

It's still technically January, so this is almost timely. Two years ago, I didn't get around to posting anything until March, so at this rate, in a few years, I will be posting things before I draw them. Anyway, this looks to be an interesting year - hope yours is a good one too!<br />

While I'm posting things, here is some fanart I made. I am a big fan of illustrator Sam Bosma, and when he came out with his comic Fantasy Basketball, I was inspired to do this drawing of one of the characters. You can download a copy <a href="https://gumroad.com/sbosma">here</a>. (Seriously, you should, it's pretty great.)<br /><br />Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04723977722632364667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614009276339573959.post-74159182896978839892013-11-23T18:07:00.002-08:002013-11-23T18:09:49.745-08:00Voltron Begins<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Everyone remembers <a href="http://voltron.wikia.com/wiki/Voltron_Wiki">Voltron</a>, right? I haven't posted much lately, but I have been busy with a class - it is a mentorship through <a href="http://www.smarterartschool.com/">SmART School</a> with <a href="http://www.dandossantos.com/">Dan Dos Santos</a>. This was our first project - we were supposed to take our favorite cartoon as a kid and paint a hypothetical movie poster for a live-action remake of the show. I don't know if this succeeds as a poster, but I hope it conveys the most important message of the show, which was that eight-year old me thought it would be really awesome to fly around in a giant robot lion.<br />
<br />
Actually, adult me thinks that would still be pretty awesome.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm learning a lot from the class and have gotten some really great feedback. I have two more assignments which I hope to put up here when I finish them.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04723977722632364667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614009276339573959.post-59313077850266044432013-09-30T20:21:00.002-07:002013-09-30T20:21:38.787-07:00Monster PortraitsJust a few quick monster portraits I did for fun.<br />

Anyway, we were given a text of a picture book and told to develop a design for the main character. The text was for a book called <i>Mr. Tiger Goes Wild</i>, it was about a tiger who becomes tired of the stuffy society he lives in and runs off into the wilderness. Eventually he becomes homesick and returns, but the other animals have learned to accept him and his wild ways.<br />

These are the drawings I did.

I have been working on a few projects, but I haven't kept on top of things by posting them here. Sometimes I suspect that I am not really a human, but a sloth trying to do his best human impression. To illustrate, here is a picture of a sloth wearing people clothes.<br />

Have you heard of the website <a href="http://picturebookreport.com/">Picture Book Report</a>? On their site, a group of illustrators decided to illustrate scenes from their favorite books from childhood. They have closed down, but it is still worth looking through.<br /><br />Anyway. seeing the site got me thinking about what book I would have chosen, and eventually I dug up an old favorite, "The Face in the Frost" by John Bellairs. Bellairs mostly wrote gothic horror stories for children; this was his attempt at a fantasy novel for adults.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I have just recently finished taking another art class. As a final project, we had to produce a portfolio piece, so I decided to do some illustrations from "The Face in the Frost"<br /><br />Long story short, here is the illustration for the first chapter. In it, two wizards, Prospero and Roger Bacon, are catching up after a long time and are discussing ominous portents and mysterious wizard business.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcb4Ccc3nA5w22nJbXH5y9-NemFpLK_xtJgd4w0Nc25UWeIAbH9X_9CkehjxbOrDh28ALM4YoCXOsZb5Xfrw0_QSklMD7RgLOaomLavpjNk9VAcoXkc4siOWeRxicVSaRFb_EtnRtSzIM/s1600/faceinfrost_01c.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcb4Ccc3nA5w22nJbXH5y9-NemFpLK_xtJgd4w0Nc25UWeIAbH9X_9CkehjxbOrDh28ALM4YoCXOsZb5Xfrw0_QSklMD7RgLOaomLavpjNk9VAcoXkc4siOWeRxicVSaRFb_EtnRtSzIM/s320/faceinfrost_01c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605669801619663826" border="0" /></a><br />I still want to fiddle around with the colors a bit, but this is the general idea.<br /><br />You can read more about the book at <a href="http://www.bellairsia.com/">bellairsia.com</a>.
