30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 030 - Congratulations Banner

Media

Here is a bunch of stuff I did over my break. I got lazy and I should have posted each page right after finishing it so I would be more willing to discuss what went into them...but whatever.

*Edit: Alright I have to write something. So the bottom one here I attempted to paint a portrait of Charlie Murphy but it ended up looking like Dede from Friday. Then I attempted to paint a picture of Zach Hill holding a garbage bag of drumsticks. That was harder than I thought it would be! As you can probably tell by it's unfinished state. But I don't like working too long when I'm painting stuff like that unless I'm still into it after I started the idea. Which wasn't the case I suppose...

So above that there is a page of some Avatar: The Last Airbender studies mixed in with some doo-doo sketches from my head. All done with markers and ink.

Next there are some more reference-less sketches of some girls and skulls and stuff. I tried to do some weird marker blending on that page.

Above that, I was studying this gun catalog called Cheaper Than Dirt and writing some of their fancy descriptions. It made me think of inventories or stores from R.P.G.s and stuff.

Then there is an acrylic painting of my dog, Homie. He has a weird shaped head and it is hard to capture those forms from the front.

Above that, a couple of marker sketches I did while I was at Last Friday in June.

Then there is an ink/watercolor "Master Sloppy" of Leonardo's David. Yeah I know, big head mode...

Finally we have lots of Scott Pilgrim inspired comic characters and dialogue bubbles, some quick graff sketches and water color portraits using random magazines as reference. Phew! See? I knew there was a lot to say about this post...

Yes We CAN

Rudy did most of the frog. I did the other little messes. The Frog and Spiderman are from yesterday but the door and afrobird are a few months older.

75 Posts Whoop Dee Damn Doo Doo

Marker stuff from the time Jon and I went hiking into this waterfall cave at Red Rock. A self portrait done in Photoshop. Random sketches of characters and people colored later on with random marker colors. PEACE!

Naked Color Poses Pt. Deux!

Yo! So here is the second and final set of the Naked Color Poses. Pretty awesome...it's nice to see a little idea get "finished". I also uploaded a pic of some Hogarth studies and a couple charcoal pieces from Week 4's Drawing & Anatomy class. Then there is that hideous...thing.

Get...To...Steppin'!

DMT and a Chuck...word!

What It Isz

Okay, so what we have here, is a complete lack of respect for the law...wait...I mean, ahem...We have GODCAT! which came right out of my brizzain one night. He is on a big canvas so you can really admire his awesomeness properly. And den...we have a couple of spray/stencil pieces on canvas, color experiments if you will. Then finally I did an awesome piece as a birthday present for a friend. She is into comics and stuff so I painted her an Isz (from The Maxx) which she also has a tattoo of. It turned out pretty cool in my opinion.

Back To My Roots

You take a mental journey through the art world by studying the others from our world's past and modern age. You find techniques, inspiration, you perceive limits and... hopefully you obliterate them. Then it all comes full circle. You start to do what you did before, but with a new feeling. A sense that you have gone so far, you could not return if you wanted. Creativity and imagination brings responsibility that I never fully understood. We have the power to teach and the power to judge. The ability to create art is the ability to instill emotion and communicate an understanding to a person without needing to be physically present. Artists can affect history, the future, the past and time itself. Alright, I'm done trying to be philosophical.

There's a Hogarth study from a book I got recently. I want to brush up on my anatomy so I can do some original turnarounds in my free time. Then, I have been watching a lot of Samurai Champloo and getting way into hip-hop and graffiti and anime again. But I think 'speck' is pretty much taken on the internet, music world and such. So I have to think of a better, more original name that sums up who I am. So I'm back in the abyss of writing any word I think of. Looking for the one that feels right.
