Screencap Study

2010-01-26T09:27:00.000-08:00

A screencap study from Star Trek. Really difficult to get the accurate colors but I try to at least pay attention to the values and the overall mood.

Late Night Sketch

2010-01-22T11:00:00.000-08:00

A late night doodle.

2009-10-20T15:48:00.000-07:00

I felt like drawing something a little over-the-top one day.

Head Sketching

2009-09-10T11:43:00.000-07:00

More head practice.

Both from ref.

I used a pencil brush by "Ditlev" on the first one. Really cool! It's almost like the real thing.

Zooey

2009-09-05T22:56:00.000-07:00

Now this was a real late-nighter. :) Had fun though. Good thing it came out well cuz front lighting is hard to do.

Finished!

2009-09-01T12:45:00.000-07:00

Finally done. I've always wanted to do something like this. Hope you guys enjoy! :) Something worthy to add to my portfolio I think.

Futuristic Environment

2009-08-31T12:41:00.000-07:00

Yey! New post! I'm glad this is blog is still up and running!

Anyway, this is still a WIP. I'm currently figuring out the coloring for this one, but I'm pretty much done with the line work.

In Progress: Indie Zombie Killer 1

2009-08-30T02:39:00.001-07:00

Full picture coming soon! I'm working on this for today. (Posted on my new blog too)

2009-04-23T05:38:00.000-07:00

Was my dad's birthday on the 4th and as I was broke

I decided to tidy up a tattered old passport photo

of him when he was 17/18 .

Took a lot of repainting, but I love this picture

Was taken roundabout 1972-3 before he married my mum,

joined the RAF and had all his hair cut off

It wasn't til I saw this picture that I realised...

My Dad was a 70's hippy!

(my heart swells with free loving pride) :D

Ogre or Troll?

2009-03-03T05:20:00.001-08:00

Honestly, I don't know the difference. I'm just glad I'm finally done with this dude.

New WIP

2009-02-27T13:14:00.000-08:00

Hoping this one would turn out well in the end.

Finished

2009-02-16T13:12:00.000-08:00

I got rid of the fat human body from the earlier version. I decided it to be a full creature.

2009-02-13T11:34:00.001-08:00

Just a quick sketch. I know the proportions are wonky, was focusing more on the design.

Late Night Sketching 2

2009-02-12T13:22:00.000-08:00

Just a quickie of Sophia. For practice and warm up.

WIP Monster

2009-02-12T11:16:00.000-08:00

Still not sure what to do with the torso area. I might change things up a bit there.

Sophia Loren

2009-01-23T03:20:00.000-08:00

Supposed to be a simple sketch but I took it a bit further.

Late Night Sketching

2009-01-20T12:09:00.001-08:00

I did these quickies while watching the inauguration of Obama. Both from reference. See if you can guess who the girl is at the top.

Sketchbook post

2009-01-18T04:01:00.001-08:00

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Recent sketchbook pages:

Train sketching.

And this is from photo reference.

I'm really sick of being in the military- it does kill alot of my spirit to learn stuff which I want to be good at when I enter civvie life again. Oh wells! Well at least I did quite a bit of reading in the past 2 months- two books by Doestoevsky- and I finished Les Miserables in basic military training.

Well cheers to everyone, and have a good week ahead!

New Stuff

2008-09-03T03:23:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I know it's been a while, but we gotta post something! :) I've been trying to practice how to deal with color with these ones. I do too much black and white stuff.

Looking for a Mole (skin)

2008-04-20T23:08:00.000-07:00

I was looking for a Moleskin sketchbook far the past week. Unfortunately, I've only managed to find one at Sketchbooks in Makati ... sooo far away. I've looked everywhere in the Ortigas and Cainta area ... nothing.

So, what did I do? Well I rummaged through my junk and found some sketchbooks with some pages still lacking some pencilwork. I got all the blank pages together, cut them in half and hed them bound.

Viola! My very own, personalized sketchbook! Maybe now I can have some work done and posted, hehehe :D

Long Time No Post

2008-03-22T03:22:00.000-07:00

Hello there! It's been a long while since I last posted something. Training in animation has been taking a lot of my time lately, and I've been focusing on that for the last couple of weeks.

Anyway, here's a caricature of my cousin and his girlfriend. I was able to do this during my free time.

Later! I'll try not to disappear from you guys. Keep posting! :)

Figure Study

2008-02-28T00:11:00.000-08:00

Oil on Canvas, 12” x 24”

Did this study from life yesterday, about 3 hours of work, with the help of a prep line study the day before. Learning more about painting every day, but always feeling like I’m not learning fast enough. I need to work on my drawing abilities, as usual.

Haha ...Portrait of a monster.

2008-02-18T06:14:00.001-08:00

Don't ask me why I did this...

Note to self: Adjusting levels in Photoshop makes you realize how light your actual values are.

Well, hey hey

2008-02-17T22:44:00.000-08:00

Here I am. I consider this a nudge by the universe to get me started on my art again. I see Pat and Dawn are here, I'm in good company :D.

I'm primarily a mech and transport sketcher. I'm a frustrated concept artist who keeps on being bumped up to management. One day, I'll be back into the scene with a reckoning.I hope this'll get me back into the workout and run with the program.

Go Doodlebugs!

In the spirit of doodling!

Introducing Sleech

2008-02-17T16:33:00.001-08:00

Hey, I'm Sleech (Anders). Thanks for inviting me to this little collective. Cool concept.

I'm breaking your chain of digital greyscales with a little traditional pencil. It's a month old, but I thought It'd make a nice introductory post.

So, thanks again. Nice to meet y'all.

--Anders

(Edit: Also, I'll make my images smaller next time :P )

Sketches

2008-02-17T05:23:00.000-08:00

Some value sketches for the day. Good practice and fun, too! Some of these were started as just random shapes. The goal was to test the imagination and see if I could come up with something.
