Oldie But Goodie

Yo these are old but I never posted them and I still think they are cool. There was one I made for Sharee but I didn't have a camera when I made it so I don't have a picture of that one...Then there is that Mouseguard piece. Sloppy...but fun...and I recall doing FAR FAR WORSE with chalk pastels when I was in high school. I need to try out some different kinds because I remember Kevin said the Rembrandt pastels are expensive but they work more like a piece of charcoal.

Breaking the Rules...

There's a picture of my artistic arsenal on the floor. I decided to just tape and paint on one page, and that sucked. Then I started using some skateboard, car, and magazine references with microns and ink. I decided to take a cue from James Jean and just cross and overlap lines. I felt like I was breaking my own rules and there were times when I found myself trying to stop at the "edge" of another drawing. I liked the result and it seems I can do more with markers then I had first though. I also used a bit of chalk pastels on the cheetah and surfboard, then I just used all types of markers and colored pencils. I'm hoping to do more stuff like this with the rest of the sketchbook, experimenting with different mediums and such because I am having more fun and I feel like this is the best book I've done so far.
