Finished Taxi Driver


Here it is. I hope you enjoy it
created using intuous 2 tablet, PSCS2, and Painter 9.

A little bit of everything...




A couple self caricatures from photographs.





Quick sketches from a coffee shop open mic night.




THis Little Girl was pretty darn cute. Not too much exxageration. Sorry i dint get a picture of her.

I was really happy with the way this sketch came out because it showed his personality and the way he just sat and didnt say a word the whole sketch . He liked it at the end.

This stuff is Pretty Sketch...If you knw what I Mean


Sketch I did of Tampa Bucs Coach from newspaper picture.











Color is hard to see on this picture but it was cute" what more can i say.








This guy on the left didn't want to be drawn. I practically begged him to sit down. Then he liked it.








Well, the parks pretty slow this time of year, which gives me lots of free sketch time. Here are some more for ya. this is all just doodling, nothing more than a couple minutes at most.

Live From Bush Gardens









Ok Here are my live sketches -
These are a few that i was semi satisfied with But i know i could do better. My goals for my sketches are to be satisfied with my own work and secondly for the customers to be satisfied. But at the same time I want to push things further. Something that Joe Bluhm taught me was to learn something from every drawing i do. So when i sit down and draw its about learning and experimentation.

I have been doing caricatures for about 7 months now, and will keep posting my live sketches so I can post my improvement.

Sketch Book Doolin'




After a few Hours at Bush Gardens Tampa without any sales on a Monday morning I start to get very anxious. I want to draw so bad but there are no darn customers. SO, I whip out my handy little sketch book and draw people who i see walk by. Here are a couple of the better pages for yall.
THis is one of mt favorite things to do because it helps me get that very first impression of someone that i tend to lose track of when im drawing a retail sketch. I see them walk by and then try and draw them from that one quick glance.
Try it, Its super fun!

NCN - Greatest thing Everrrrrrrrrr


So I got back From the NCN a couple weeks ago. I know, I know, Im posting this a bit late. But hey, the post is here.
Anyhoo - the 15th annual NCN convention was Amazing. It was my first one and had no idea of what to expect other than to be amazed and inspired by all the artwork. My intentions on this first convention were to
1 - Learn
2 - Have a great time
3 - Draw my ass off
I did all 3 of those and in the process met great people, seen great art work, and ate lots of food.
I cant explain it any further so ill just post some of my work. All These pictures done by me and hung up on my wall space at the con.
With that said I Highly encourage anybody to go to this convention and become a part of the NCN because. Youll never regret it!

Live sketch


Here is a live sketch that i did in 5 min. Can you see some improvement in my work. I think my line quality is getting better but i need to work on exaggerating the character more.
Pushing the features of the face to come up with a great composition in every sketch i do is a goal of mine.
