In the mood

So I'm in a productive mood. I'm designing my official web site and I think I want the background to look something like this.

Double Decker

I have never been quite good at drawing vehicles so I though I would try my and at one while working on more photoshop skills. The final product is probably a bit too boxy. Maybe I'll try drawing my volvo station wagon next time. I do love my volvo oh so very much!

Background designs

I am trying to develop a better skill at creating backgrounds. Here are a few I've been working on. Most of them are exercises in gradients and textures. I have also included a drawing of my kitchen.

More than once in the same day!?

Okay I rarely post more than once in a day. Actually, I rarely even post once a month, but I found this design and I was happy enough with it to share with others. I was playing around with photoshop seeing if I couldn't create an effective depth of field. Even if it looks more like a late 80's album cover, it turned out pretty well.

MU-TU-EU

The leader of the University of Missouri's Tuba and Euphonium ensemble asked me to asked me to come up with some clever t-shirt designs. Here's what I came up with. We actually ended up using the first one with the"!' and the "?

Figures, right?

As promised some figural sketches including a skeletal study of a Caravaggio fav of mine. For some reason a lot of the figures are drawn from the back. Not sure why. I guess the models didn't want to face me. Tomorrow I should have some 3-d photos I've been working on. I need to finish some color correcting. Also I've got some t-shirt designs for my old tuba and euphonium ensemble that I'd love to get peoples' opinons on.

Have some brand spankin' new sketches for you today and tomorrow I should have some figure drawings. I am also working on a Harleyquinn drawing. So this week should be quite fruitful indeed. Enjoy.
