Iron Man study, Samurai

Iron Man study, and a samurai work in progress.


Digital Master Studies

Some master studies. Decided I really needed to get back into the practice. Been too absorbed with work, but that's no excuse. As you can see, I'm rusty and need a lot more work. I tried to work pretty small, quickly filling in shadow and light areas. Spent probably a good 45 or more minutes on each.




Portrait of Kate

Portrait I did recently. It's been a while since I've gotten back into drawing heads. I've always had difficulty with symmetry, and I found myself going back and forth to a mirror to make sure one of the eyes is not too high or going too far off to the side. As I draw more and more, I realize that even if the drawing does not completely resemble the picture, it's not the end of the world, as long as I get a good likeness. One thing to note, though, I was drawing on a regular dinner table so the surface was flat instead of slanted like a drafting table, so the head appears longer than the picture, making the girl seem older.

Noir Project

A series of illustrations I've made with a noir theme. Done in 2008 for a summer class.
