So doing some quick marker line-art and playing with some styles.

So this morning while listening to the original Conan soundtrack I decided to do a quick sketch of Conan. I am also drawing near to the end of this moleskin! That will make two moleskins completed since I started this blog! I have a fresh moleskin waiting to be cracked opened and abused with pen and marker. Thanks for all the support!

A little rusty but I would really like to get my skills down with the tablet to produce some other amazing digital painting concepts. I would also like to use it for some quick concept art creation.

This sketch of the day is inspired by all the H.P. Lovecraft I have been thumbing through lately. I also have been listening to the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast always a pleasure to listen to while doing some art. Since my creative blocks sometimes require me to dig really deep into my thoughts I wonder if this is why I doodle monsters and zombies. I should get back to reality and stay out of that part of my brain I guess…or should I embrace the darkness? I do enjoy drawing monsters though so here we have a slug monster – I might color it somewhere down the road but for now here is the black and white. Enjoy!

Something I haven’t done in a while, the relaxing part of course. Just me myself and my trusty moleskin, oh and a delicious cup of Starbucks coffee!

What would happen if the zombie apocalypse broke out while you were in a coffee shop? These are the things I think of while sipping coffee.
