Inktober 2014

 All the sketches I posted for Inktober last October. I think it's about time I put these up.

 

Zoo Sketches on a Rainy Day

Sketches that where done at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Field of Dreams Horse Drawing

These were horses from a equine center, Field of Dreams, located in Blacklick, OH.

Warm-Up: Mickey Mouse's "Through the Mirror"

Still gestures from Mickey Mouse's "Through the Mirror".

 

Camels, Giraffes, Ostrich... Oh My?

Sketches from my zoo trip last Friday. 

I love drawing camels.

Media: Marker, Sharpie

Easton Mall Sketching

Sketches from the Easton Mall in Columbus, Ohio. 

I really like drawing interiors. 

16-Bit Bar Life Drawings

For my Character Design class, we took a "field trip" to a local bar in Columbus called 16-Bit.

They have classic arcade games that you can play for free of all things.

It's really cool and if you are ever in the Columbus area, definitely check it out. 

Cats all Around!

The only subjects I had for life drawings were cats. Might as well try and get better at them.

I also learned that cats are really, really hard. 

Everything is Awesome!

School started last week and the first assignment for my Character Design class was to create a Lego self-portrait. The idea was to take the iconic Lego character and make it have characteristics that made it you.

Here is the finished product:

Thanks for looking!

Ongoing vs. Failed Personal Projects, pt.01

Trying to update on a frequent basis is quite hard.

Gotta get this together.

-----------------

These first two images are quick sketches of concepts for one of the supporting characters in a personal project. Recently, she was used in an Animation III short (WIP) however, I still do not know if I truly like her design and I am continuing to experiment with it.

Very old concept drawings of a character. It is currently in the back burners of my personal projects and is on the verge of being dropped. I haven't decided and so, it is gonna go here.  

From a time when I was teaching myself Illustrator. 

It is a 'self portrait' with cats that I really should have referenced anatomy for them.

What was wrong with me....

Last but not least, a sketch I did of an OC from another personal project that will probably fall through.

This was a quick sketch/color study for the color scheme of him. 

Very rough but I tend to like that.

With these failed personal projects, I really want to incorporate some of the characters into another project either as 'guest' characters or minor roles.

I don't know.

New Year, More Posts.

I've got more of a laid back semester this time.

I've been doing 18 credit hours every semester since my Freshman year.

At least I'm considered a senior a semester early.

To start the new school year, here are some concept sketches and story ideas from my Layout and Timing class.

It takes place around a young farmer boy who lives in ancient Egypt

More to come as the project progresses!

Birds and Brushes

Decided to try out a new brush pack I got from a friend.

Birds were the outcome.
