Diner Illustrations

2011-09-13T10:08:00.000-04:00

I just did a couple of Diner drawings for an upcoming book about the diners of New Jersey. This is so completely out of my comfort zone to draw anything that has NO EYES or Hair!

Drawing number 3 (in progress)

2011-08-12T14:42:00.001-04:00

Just a small little drawing that will be a gift for my little niece. What you see here represents about 2 and a half hours of drawing time so far.

An update...approx 70% complete at this stage.

Mickey Mouse Balloon

2011-07-21T09:10:00.002-04:00

Did you ever see those Mickey Mouse shaped balloons in the Disney Theme parks? It is my hope that after you see this sketch, you will never look at those the same way again!
Please think of my drawing the next time you see one of these balloons.

First Portrait for 2011

2011-05-06T14:54:00.004-04:00

I guess my lack of posts has kept away all of my visitors? Well, it's my fault. Here is another update on my newest drawing

It's been over 6 months since I've really been in the mood to draw!
I just started this one today and it is a bit larger than usual for me.
It will be 14" x 17" (35 x 43cm) and a whole lot of HAIR. I have a good feeling about this one. Please come back to see regular updates!

New Portrait in progress

2010-10-15T14:51:00.004-04:00

•••••FINISHED•••••

Above shows approx. 4.5 hours and 50% complete drawing

This represents about 2 and a half hours of solid drawing time! I like how this is coming along so far! Both eyes are complete, just started on the nose and mouth. Her nose looks a little flat because there are no highlights yet.

Scarlett Johansson Caricature

Different stages of a very small Pencil caricature of the Lovely Scarlett Johannson!!!

Portrait from Disneyworld Haunted Mansion

2010-06-15T09:12:00.003-04:00

Lillian Gracey...through some research, I discovered her name!
This is one of those stretching portraits you see at the entrance to the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disney World, Florida.
This particular portrait always had my attention mainly because of her expression of total sadness and detached emotion, yet still looking lovely at the same time!
This is a smaller drawing than I usually do.....this is 8" x 10" (20 x 25cm) and it doesn't show the complete scene.....In the Disney portrait, she is walking a tightrope above a snapping alligator.
2B & H Pencils - approx 5 hours to complete

Time Out

2010-06-04T14:03:00.002-04:00

This time I took the advice of Master Graphite Artist-Armin Mersmann. He politely suggested that I move away from celebrity drawings and fan art and compose something original! I snapped s picture of my adorable niece Lindsey, just after her parents sat her down for misbehaving. She wasn't happy that I took her photo in this mood, but I thought it was a real, genuine emotion that would make an interesting drawing!

New Drawing part 2

2010-05-25T14:19:00.000-04:00

This looks funny to me because she is a raven-haired child. What you see now is the ground work for the hair sections. Her hair will be VERY dark when this is done.

2nd Drawing part 1

2010-05-24T14:53:00.000-04:00

Slow Progress

2010-02-26T13:09:00.001-05:00

I REALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND DRAWING FUZZY HATS!!

I haven't touched this drawing in about 3 weeks...been very busy fixing major problems at work. Hope to be at it soon and move on to the next drawing.

Portrait Tutorial (HAIR)

2010-01-26T13:27:00.000-05:00

Here is a link to see a video clip of how I draw the sections of hair in a portrait.

Portrait Tutorial

2010-01-19T16:01:00.004-05:00

•The first thing I do is roughly sketch the features with an "H" pencil. This is a very light tone pencil and it prevents me from getting too dark, too early.
•The bottom picture shows how it looks after I smooth out those rough lines using a "tortillion" (paper stump).
• I can already see many refinements I need to make before preceding (please don't criticize yet)...it is still in the very early stages of development.
• Next I will start to define the darker areas with a "2B" pencil. I will post these stages also .

Please check back if you find this interesting! I will post all the stages leading up to the final piece.

EYES

•This is when I use my "2B" mechanical pencil to define detailed areas and add some contrast.
• You can see that I basically outlined her eyes and shaded all around, inside and out, completing everything except her LASHES...I ALWAYS save them for the last step.
NOTE: Dont be affraid to shade in the whites of the eyes...It adds to the realism after you make the highlights....This was a mistake I made for several years, leaving the eyes pure white makes them look unnatural.
• The bottom frame shows the addition of her lashes and eyebrows. Even after I draw these fine lines of hair, I still go over them 1 more time with a tortillion to soften them up.
• NEXT ....onto her nose....one of my favorite areas to draw.

I brought my scan into Adobe Illustrator to place text on it, and dotted lines for reference. Not much to say about the nose except that if the nostrils are aligned with the eyes, it will look goofy! I can see this needs a little adjustment.

The Mouth Area...In my opinion, one of the hardest things to draw. The mouth is the one thing on every face that is always moving and constantly changing shape and size!!! How do we ever really know what it should look like?

Snow White Pencil Drawing 2009 Christmas Card

2009-12-04T14:59:00.001-05:00

2009 Xmas Card

2009-11-23T13:42:00.003-05:00

I just realized I need to draw up a new Christmas Card design for this year! I print out my own cards to send to Family and It is usually a Disney Theme. I just started this today and I will post updates in my scrap folder! It's gonna be a nice little picture. Just her face alone is about 5cm wide ( 2 inches). VERY small.
I will put something on top of it later to show the small scale of this drawing.

The lower left hand side...Curious critters, I wonder what they want? I should be finished this Christmas Card by Friday!

Anatomy of a Thug!

2009-11-12T08:56:00.001-05:00

Just a quick sketch of some anatomy observations! We've all seen these guys, trying hard to look like little boys in their grandfathers clothing! They quickly get angry when you notice them, even though they dress like this for the attention and shock value! WTF?

I AM STARTING ANOTHER GRAPHITE PORTRAIT TODAY...in case some of you were wondering if I gave up on them! I've simply been too busy to devote time for one.

Taylor Swift Caricature

2009-10-02T10:48:00.004-04:00

YES...It's Taylor Swift! on a crappy office tablet! Hope you like it.

Caricature on a box

2009-09-25T13:18:00.002-04:00

HEY, Did you ever try to draw on a cardboard box? I just did this while I was supposed to be working! I wont keep this here long...just a fun little caricature!

Some Old Crap

2009-09-03T14:41:00.002-04:00

Some more pages from an ancient sketchbook I still have from 1979! Featuring an old buddy, Kevin Patrick.
Damn..... 30 years ago.

Cute Cartoon Girl with JetPack

2009-08-28T13:51:00.003-04:00

OK she's finished.
Totally inspired by an un-finished sketch by the Famous Chris Sanders ( creater of Lilo and Stitch).
•11" x 14" strathmore 300 series smooth bristol
• 2H and 2B pencils
* about 5 hours to complete

CUTE overload

2009-08-19T14:30:00.012-04:00

I can see that most of you do not care for this drawing.....I will post the finished drawing and see if anyone responds...if not, she will be deleted like my other drawings that had no comments. I get the feeling most people like the portraits I do better than these fun little drawings?

Cute Cartoon Girl

2009-06-17T11:32:00.004-04:00

This is a really small sketch I just did using a blue colored pencil. ( did you ever try to scan blue pencil? damn).
This is a layout for a graphite drawing I want to do today during my lunchbreak! I will us it on my letterhead for emails.
This sketch is About 3 inches tall.
This photo illustrates just how small this drawing really is!

Finished....and in just under 1 hour. She's will be used for my NEW stationery for my email. Leave a comment and I will email you a letter with this new design!

Princess Zelda pencil drawing

2009-05-29T09:54:00.004-04:00

OK...I finished her this morning. Took me almost 12 hours to complete.
Here is the reference photo I used for this fantasy type drawing. The beautiful Australian Super Model Gemma Ward. I didn't stick too close to the reference pic because I wanted to make this more unique rather than a photo reproduction drawing.
Hope you like her enough to leave a comment!!!!!!!!!!

Just for Fun

2009-05-08T13:49:00.006-04:00

This is a drawing I've been working on this week....just to kill some time. Killed about 4 hours so far, but I think this will be a really nice fantasy type drawing when complete.

Below shows my progress at 8 hours! I still have a good ways to go! I added more highlights to her nose for depth....she was looking a little flat and 2 dimensional.

Zooey Deschanel pencil drawing

2009-04-15T13:52:00.011-04:00

This is a pencil portrait of actress Zooey Deschanel (pronounced day-shun-ell ) requested by my son Kody! This is just a little gift for him, he doesn't ask me for much so I was glad to draw this.
Zooey's older sister "Emily" is the star of Fox's TV drama "BONES". They have very similar features.
•11" x 14" Strathmore 300 series smooth bristol
•2B & H pencils

My 15 year old son has a secret crush on a another actress. He pulled me aside and asked if I could do a nice drawing of her! He knows his father wouldn't turn down the chance to draw another beautiful woman:) :) :).
Here's an opportunity to show up close how I assemble a portrait.
They don't all start out with super smooth skin and sparkly eyes!
Here you can see I used an "H" pencil to lightly map out the skin areas.( later I will smooth it all over with some rolled-up tissues).
Everything here was done with the "H" lead with the exception of the eye detail...There I used a 0.3mm 2B lead in a mechanical pencil. These areas will also be smoothed over with a tortillion ( paper blending stump).
I should have more tomorrow.

SKADI fan art

2009-04-14T09:50:00.002-04:00

Skadi is an on-line comic strip character created by the wonderful Katie Rice. Her strip is featured every Wedsnesday Right Here. I know this version is way off model, But I wanted to inject a little of my own style into this! Please feel free to download this and color her up in your illegal copy of Photoshop, Send me a link, I would love to see them!

Fat Tee Shirt

2009-03-17T09:37:00.004-04:00

This was a tee shirt design I made for my Son and his buddies in High School...They wore their "Fat Club" shirts every Thursday throughout their senior year in school. Teachers said it was offensive and regularly asked them to remove the shirts! What was funny is NONE of the kids were all that fat!
My full time job is creating designs for a Screen Printing company...I produce literally thousands of these each year! My real love is drawing with my pencils as you see here on this blog.

CUTE CARTOON ANGEL pencil drawing

2009-03-03T14:00:00.005-05:00

IT IS FINISHED..... I thank everyone who watched this drawing in progress.
When I found this original drawing I instantly fell in love with it!
It was originally drawn by former Disney artist and current Dreamworks artist CHRIS SANDERS, Creator of Lilo & Stitch. I contacted Chris and asked for his permission to do this drawing with my own techniques! ( permission granted).
People ask "why would you draw something by another artist?".
I compare this to a recording artist singing their version of a song, originally recorded by one of their idols!!! No Harm...just ask permission first!! always!!!

As promised, HERE is the original drawing...Go check out Chris' wonderful artwork.

Something Weird

2009-02-13T13:39:00.012-05:00

Here's a photo of my progress....should be finished real soon.

Part 7 ( roughly 7 hours invested so far). I've covered about 50% of the drawing surface but most of the difficult elements are done! The rest is basically fluffy clouds and small details. I estimate about 3 more hours to completion.

I have been extremely busy as of late! I have started a new ( and different) drawing today. I will explain more about it later when it starts to develop. This is just a small portion of a much larger drawing with lots of characters featured.
This little section is only 2 inches by 3 inches in size....the whole drawing will be 11" x 14" If I ever complete it.
- 2B pencil
- Strathmore 300 series smooth bristol

Alice in Wonderland pencil drawing

2009-01-06T13:52:00.015-05:00

OK...SHE IS FINISHED!

Here is a big Fat-Ass Close-Up shot

Here is todays update (Friday January 16 2009)

Happy New Year...I just started a new portrait drawing...what a surprise, another pretty girl! It may not seem like it, but I try NEW techniques with every drawing I do in an effort to improve. The subject matter may be a bit boring, but ultimately I hope to make something pleasant on the eyes. I am not trying to make any profound statements or any of that artistic bullshit, just a nice little sketch.

Drawing Hair

2008-11-28T12:51:00.012-05:00

I've been asked many times "How do you draw hair like that?" Last year I made a short video clip showing the basic technique I use for drawing hair.
• I separate the hair into sections
• Then I use flick-like strokes, all in the same direction ( like striking a match).
• Usually, I start from the ends ( of each sectioned piece) and flick toward the center of the section ( where the highlight would be).

This clip is in REAL time....it is not sped up and there is NO sound.
If you would like to see the finished version of this drawing, Click Here
Click HERE to see a higher quality QuickTime® version of this clip.

This clip shows the technique I use to add the finishing touches to an area of hair. It adds a realistic effect to otherwise flat looking ribbons of hair.
This clip "HAS" audio so you can hear me ( with my stupid voice) explain what I am doing. I hope you find this helpful, or at the very least, entertaining.

Rogue ( older drawing )

2008-11-13T07:37:00.004-05:00

An X-men character ( xmen? does this mean that they were once men, now women?) This is based on a drawing I saw from a FANTASTIC German cartoonist Stefanie Achtnig. This is a couple years old and I mailed the original drawing to Stefanie. I hope she kept it.
She gave me permission to re-draw her original in My style....Please, always ask for the artists permission!

Little Mermaid pencil drawing

2008-10-03T07:42:00.005-04:00

OK....Finished, But a little late for the birthday party!

This is a little drawing I am trying to finish by this weekend! It is for my neice's 4th birthday party. She already has Belle and Sleeping Beauty on her bedroom wall! Make room for Ariel.

MERMAID pencil drawing

2008-06-11T13:29:00.005-04:00

WOW...my third update and STILL no comments? I guess this isn't as good as I originally thought! Well anyway, she is finished!

This drawing was inspired by a magnificent sketch I saw by a fantastic artist named Robert Islas. He graciously gave me permission to do a graphite rendering of his drawing. This is VERY small...on an 8" x 10" piece of bristol board...her face alone is smaller than 1 square inch!
I should have this finished in no time! Check back soon.
HERE is Robert's Blog...go see for yourself his amazing work!

MORE THAN PENCILS

2008-06-04T13:41:00.002-04:00

I have literally thousands of ink drawings like these I've accumulated over the years from being in the screen printing business. I did all of them with my rapidograph refillable technical drawing ink pens! I would draw things roughly in pencil and then lay translucent vellum over top and trace it in INK....Scan the drawing into photoshop and get it ready for press!
I just prefer to show my favorite media ,GRAPHITE!!!
I do this kind of stuff all day at work and it is a joy just to grab my pencils at lunch and just draw!

KIPI pencil drawing

2008-04-30T13:37:00.004-04:00

While searching for something on Google, I accidentally found this picture...I thought it would be a really nice drawing, with all of the textures and what-not. I honestly didn't have any idea WHO this girl is! After some research I found out that Her name is KIPI . She is a cosplay actress from Tokyo, Japan and she is 20, will be 21 in August

11" x 14" (28 x 36cm) smooth bristol paper/2B & H pencils/ a total of 11 hours....one of the longest drawings I've done.

Drawing 4 2008 part 6

2008-04-23T14:52:00.004-04:00

6 Hours of drawing time so far in this 11" x 14" picture! I don't know why I'm even posting this, no one seems to be interested lately! oh well!

DRAWING no.4 for 2008

2008-04-16T14:08:00.006-04:00

This is only the very early stages of a rather complicated drawing. Many details throughout. Here you see just the top half ( it's all that fit in my scanner).
• I first drew these features with a very light "H" pencil and softened the pencil lines with tissues.
• Then I went into the dark areas with the much darker "2B" pencil to add contrast.
This is the simple formula I stick to for all my drawings. Thanks to all 13 people who stopped by to see my last drawing! :)
Did I mention I hate to draw hands?

Abbey Chase pencil drawing

2008-04-02T13:34:00.003-04:00

Abbey Chase: A character created by Master Comic Book Artist J.Scott Campbell for a series called DangerGirl!

Almost Finished

2008-03-31T09:09:00.002-04:00

I made a little more progress on this drawing. I'm hoping to complete this during my lunch break today!
I notice there is very little interest in this drawing from you viewers! Oh well, I still like it! I only wish more people felt the same.

80's sketchbook pages

2008-03-27T07:40:00.005-04:00

I enjoyed Kali's sketch blogs and they reminded me of my old sketch books. These are some pages from one of my very old sketchbooks from the early 1980's. 98% of these were drawn with a fine point felt tip marker! I would draw until the pages were full and get another sketchbook! There was NO order to this or purpose, just passing time with goofy doodles. Hope you like them!

Abbey Chase ( DangerGirl )

2008-03-24T13:39:00.002-04:00

I did a little more work on this today. Her nose was troubling me since I first sketched this out!!! So I did a little rhinoplasty on her proboscis! Even though the first nose was OK, it needed to look a little more CAMPBELL-like and upturned. Thanks for having a look today.

Abbey Chase work in progress, based on the character created by Master Comic book Artist J Scott Campbell.
This will be 11" high and 14" wide when she is complete!
Please check back for updates!

Damaged My Drawing Hand

2008-03-03T07:46:00.001-05:00

Well, I won't be doing any drawing for a while! My hand was ripped open by a screen door handle! I had my dog on a leash and she blasted out the door, slamming my hand into the handle.The flat handle went through of my hand. It felt like being smashed by a hammer.
This sucks, I do EVERYTHING with this hand. I received 12 stitches to close it up. In 2 weeks , the stitches will come out and hopefully I can draw again! Ouch!

Jayne Wisener (sweeney todd) pencil drawing

Jayne Wisener ( work in progress)

2008-01-30T08:59:00.000-05:00

here's an update showing where I am with the hair! I should be finished this drawing one day this week! Thanks to all who left a comment!
With an HB pencil, I sketched out the various locks of long hair!! When I'm happy with the shapes, I go in with a 2B pencil for sharper definition and higher contrast...That's when it "POPS".
I also spent about 20 minutes repairing her nose, the bridge of her nose was off to the left too much. I also repaired her bottom lip to make it more balanced. 5 hours total so far!

I just started another drawing the other day...I think this one will be very beautiful!
This is young Irish actress Jayne Wisener ( Joanna in the new Sweeney Todd movie). She is quite a lovely lass with her HUGE wide eyes and ridiculously tiny nose...Awesome.
As you can see from the photo, her face is quite small but the over all drawing will be the same size as all the others!

WOAH....Look what I found on an old ZIP drive. This goes back several years ago...this is Abbey Chase, a character by comic book artist Jeff Scott Campbell ( Danger Girl Series). I don't even know where the original pencil drawing is anymore! hmmmmm.

VERY OLD digital art

2007-11-01T09:41:00.000-04:00

I was just going through old crap and found this little gem. This dates back to 1999...2 years before the introduction of the Bratz© Dolls (in 2001).
I find this interesting!
Could someone have seen this and been inspired to make those dolls? Ahhh, who knows!
This was scanned and uploaded to some internet site in the year 2000....hmmm.

UG - 2 in progress

2007-08-21T13:24:00.000-04:00

I haven't been drawing any big projects lately....This is what I used to do all the time when I was a boy. This is in the early stages and is likely to change several times before it's complete! This is good fun for me because it doesn't have to look like anything....there is nothing to compare it to...and I enjoy watching these things evolve! I hope you will to! I'll leave all the stages here to compare when finished!

Caricature - quick sketch

I just busted out a tiny 3"x3" caricature on a Post-It® sticky pad!!! Any Guesses???
I'll give you a clue.....My Wife's favorite rock singer from the 70's and still today....You may guess this if you were born before 1975.....wow, im gettin old.

ZELDA 2007

2007-03-28T14:36:00.000-04:00

I need something fun to do. I started a fun little sketch today!!! This is gonna be Princess Zelda ( from the nintendo game series) as she appears out of character .....in modern day ( why not? ).
This is EXTREMELY preliminary with a 2H pencil! I can already see I need to "even" up her boobs, perhaps hook her up with a bigger set? hmmmm, not sure yet.

UPDATE..A side by side comparison. I did a little fine tuning to the over all shapes and started to shade her face!!!
See if you can spot the changes!!!

Update April 3 2007,
She is starting to shape up...Thanks to all 5 people who stopped by to look at this!
