"Jelly" Logos...

Another "Sketch-It" request I put a little more time into because I was overdue in completing it... but before you think I'm a slacker this one and the request for the little girl came when my son was pretty sick so I couldn't get to 'em as soon as I wanted. Hopefully I made it up to them. This one was a request for a website called... You guessed it: "Jelly"

Sketch-It sketch...

This is a picture I did for the Sketch-It site. If you're not familiar with Sketch-It, the idea is you can go there, make a sketch request and pay $1 for a sketch. Good deal right? The catch is, the artists only guarantee they will spend a grand total of 1 minute on your sketch (What did you expect for a buck, the Mona Lisa?)... But since artists tend to be an egotistical bunch I think most of us tend to spend more than a minute but typically I don't put as much time into them as I did this one which was about an hour. Still relatively quick which is why it's a bit rough around the edges... which I don't mind though. I think it gives it some charm and a looseness that works in my opinion. Any way you look at it, its a steal for a dollar. Why did I spend an hour on a $1 commission? Because I felt guilty for taking to long to fulfill the request that's why. I do have a conscience and what little is left of a reputation :) Anyway, I thought it was a cute (that's right, I said "cute") sketch so I thought I'd post it... gotta show my sensitive side too you know. It can't always be about screaming zombies and superheroes! Oh and if you want to visit Sketch-It and request a sketch of your own CLICK HERE Just don't expect to get something this detailed... and don't forget to request me specifically :)

As always, click on the picture and zoom in to full size. It looks better that way.

Another help sketch...

This is just a quick markup I did to help someone with a drawing they were working on... He was having trouble with the anatomy and, for whatever reason, decided not to give the guy a face so I sketched one in 'cause I thought it looked better that way... but that may be just my opinion. Anyway the guy's drawing is the stuff I turned red underneath and my markups are in black. I just thought it was kind of gruesome and interesting to look at. His original sketch had the vertabrae showing through the stomach and some elements he handled nicely like the hands so I didn't mess with any of that stuff. I guess this is sort of a collaborative sketch... I wish I could remember the guy's name. I'd give him credit. I'll try to look it up and post it later.

Cartoon help...

Recently I helped someone having a hard time constructing a cartoon head and I created this as an example for him... I though he was amusing enough to post. He ended up looking a bit like Jimmy Neutron as a teenager (probably because of the hair)... but this was based on the guy's design so that's not my fault :)

While I'm clearing out old sketches...

Another one I did at the tail end of last year and just stumbled on... I drew this sketch for a CD project I was working on and ended up going another direction all together... I may actually revisit this one and finish it. I'm kind of proud of that Elvis tattoo... I did that with no reference though I had a particular picture I had seen a lot in mind (I'm an Elvis fan). Which is funny because I was able to draw Elvis with no reference yet I needed a reference to draw the tattoo of the swallow on her other arm... go figure.

The Crow?

Not a new sketch but I stumbled across this and thought it was funny... I was wondering why all the guys in "The Crow" movies were guys with perfect, flowing, long wavy hair, bodies in perfect shape, etc... How come a crow never brings back a guy like this? Short fat guys never have anything to avenge or a wrong to set right? I say Danny Devito should be in the next Crow sequel... that would be cool!

Like always, the preview pic looks all choppy so click on it to see it full size.

Hulk sketch...

Exactly what the title says... a sketch of the Hulk. I've been trying to do some sketches during my lunch break and this is one of 'em.
