Illustration Friday Sketch – Disguise

This weeks Illustration Friday theme is “Disguise”. I am ahead of the game this week as this topic was easy to think of something. Of course I was torn between doing the obvious superhero sketch or a kid pretending to be a superhero (which I might still do), but what better than the classic cat burgler or bank robber with a mask as a disguise. Classic! Enjoy and comments are welcome! Share on Facebook  Read More

I wanted to make the sky in this piece just as important as the actual face, I want it to be colorful but also credible. Just remember all that the sky isn’t always blue and clouds are not white, they are yellow,... Read More

I received some good advice from some people on Forrst,... Read More

Sketch of the Day – Touching up January Jones

It has been a while since I have posted anything. I have been writing more than I have been drawing. I recently picked up a few magazines and am getting excited to get back into doing some digital painting again. I pulled up a piece I worked on a few months ago of January Jones and decided to touch it up so that it looks less blurry and a little more crisp. Here is the results: Here is the new image made crisper: Here is the original piece and the step-by-step process: Share... Read More
