Month Old Sketches

2009-07-10T11:15:00.001-07:00

Some month old sketches I did for our drawing board at work. The guy below is named "Office Tyrone". I saw him at the airport one day. Probably a bit exaggerated.

2009-01-29T00:24:00.000-08:00

Some more doodles. The one at the bottom was inspired by a coworker named "Burger" who told me of his experience going to the dentist. He might say its a bit exaggerated. I don't think so.

Europe and Christmas Trip

2009-01-29T00:12:00.001-08:00

Wow its been a while. And to start things off again here are some sketches of our trip to Europe and home for Christmas.

Back On Track

2008-06-01T23:46:00.000-07:00

Oh yea!!! Back on track. Crazy Larry and Biker Bob opening the show.

It's Me!!!!

Another great caricature of myself by the Rizzo.

Oldies

Here are some old doodles I did at work. Fun Fun.

Learning from Dean Yeagle

2008-03-04T22:45:00.000-08:00

I have started to take some wise advice from a well known artist about learning how to draw from others. Eddie Pitman had a great post on his new blog about “Studying from Masters". It definitely opened my eyes to a different way of thinking. So I decided I would study from a true artist Dean Yeagle. I started studying how he drew girls and tried my best to follow his rhythm. The second one was a starting off point then I pointed out my mistakes and tried again. Not the best, but some progression.

Still Practicing

2008-03-04T22:39:00.000-08:00

Jazzy Jeff Colored!!!!!

2008-02-22T10:07:00.001-08:00

Finally some characters in color!!!! I've been experimenting again with Photoshop and the cool wacom tool. This is a lot of fun. Wanna try working more on lighting and shading. Critiques are welcomed.

Practice

2008-02-11T23:14:00.000-08:00

Lately I've been practicing drawing females. If there is one thing that is tough is drawing the female body.

Back in Black

2008-02-11T23:04:00.000-08:00

Wow!!!! It took a while, but I am back in black. Just a few sketches done at work or during D.A.S.
(Dead Animators Society). I think its time to start putting color on these white characters.

New 2008 Post!!!!

2008-01-08T23:39:00.001-08:00

Alright!!!!! New 2008 post!!!! I did these while I was traveling for the Christmas break. You realize that everyone has a serious face when they are at the airport. Why is that?????

Kick Boxing Chicken

2007-12-11T23:09:00.000-08:00

I drew this while eating with some friends at a Thai restaurant out in Santa Monica. We were making fun of the names they had for the food on the menu.

Jazzy Jay

2007-11-28T23:26:00.001-08:00

I just sketched up this guy while listening to some jazzy tunes. He's groovin to the beat. I am gonna had some color to him soon.

Papa Bois

2007-11-19T23:58:00.000-08:00

This is a character named "Papa Bois" from one of the many folklore tales and legends of Trinidad and Tobago. I am thinking of creating an animated short based off of these interesting creatures of the forest.

We'll see how far this goes. Hopefully some day it will be completed.

Farmer's Market

2007-11-06T00:37:00.001-08:00

I joined the sketch crawlers on an outing to the farmer's market. Lots of fun talking animation and drawing people sitting down. Cool beans.

Rapper Dude

2007-11-06T00:33:00.000-08:00

Its been a long time for some good posting. Here is gangster Mike ripping up some rhymes on stage.

Elephants

2007-09-16T23:43:00.001-07:00

I watched Dumbo the other night and the next day I was itching to draw elephants. This one was from and image on the web.

Mr. Burger

2007-09-16T23:35:00.001-07:00

A sketch of one of my co-workers. His last name is Burger. I wish my name was related to food.

Blondes

2007-09-09T23:29:00.001-07:00

This is a caricature of Miss Teen USA from South Carolina. Notice the little hamster in her head running while she tries answering the question given to her. The video is pretty funny.

I am sure she is a nice person though.

Rocking Dude

2007-09-09T23:27:00.001-07:00

I was listening to some good old metal music when i decided to sketch up this hardcore dude.

A Girl At Little Tokyo

2007-08-27T23:51:00.001-07:00

While walking around in Little Tokyo, I came across this young girl. She seem depressed and was dressed very Goth like as she walked with her friends. I kept a mental image of her in my head to draw at work. I hope she was ok.

Little Tokyo

2007-08-27T23:37:00.000-07:00

Here are some sketches at little Tokyo this past weekend. It was a blast!!! We went for the sketch crawl event. Those sketch crawlers really know how to pick a great spot.

2007-08-14T23:05:00.001-07:00

So here are some doodles I did a couple of weeks ago. Things have been quite busy lately after attending my first Comic-Con and Siggraph event. These wacky exhibitions really inspire me to get back to the drawing boards or keyboards and create something unique and interesting.

2007-07-24T00:14:00.001-07:00

I saw this guy next to wild oats. He had a guitar in his hand and he was sing with a big smile on his face. His straw hat was the most interesting thing about him. I wish I had a hat like that.

New Stuff

2007-07-24T00:10:00.001-07:00

So here are some new sketches. I've been practicing new ways to draw faces. It's good to experiment sometimes.

2007-07-10T23:59:00.001-07:00

I just found out about this new pen to ink my sketches with. It's a Faber - Castell PITT Artist Pen. Its like a brush and sharpie all in one. It give my doodles that snazzy look. I definitely recommend it.

Small Doodle

2007-07-05T23:24:00.001-07:00

So I just went to see Ratatouille and it was faaantastic. When i got home i just had the urge to sketch out this guy. He kinda looks like Linguini's distant half brother right? Naaaah.

LA ZOOOO

2007-07-05T23:15:00.001-07:00

Alright!!! I just got a small handy new sketch book so i decided to christen it at the LA ZOO. It was a blast. All the animals were fun to look at. Especially that porcupine I drew above what looks like a kangaroo. He had the greatest walk I had ever seen from a creature.

I Don't Know!!!

2007-06-11T23:40:00.000-07:00

One night just before my wife feel asleep, she asked me to draw a walrus having a birthday party....... At least that is what i think she said. He's a really really old walrus.

It Has Been A While

2007-06-11T23:35:00.000-07:00

2007-04-23T21:30:00.000-07:00

Here are some sketches i did not to long ago. The first one is a sketch i did of myself when i was feeling sick. And my little leprechaun laughing at me.
