Witch Doodle

2007-10-09T21:34:00.000-05:00

Here was a scrap sketch from the Hansel and Gretel witch drawings. I really liked the sketch, so I thought I'd do a little digital painting over it. I put less than two hours into it.

as you can see, I changed up the nose a bit because it just wasn't working logically.

and here's a detail

In Progress Figure Painting

2007-10-09T21:19:00.000-05:00

Here's a figure painting that I'm working on in my figure painting class. we've got two more sessions on it. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out.

As Promised

2007-10-01T19:18:00.000-05:00

Here's Hansel and Gretel, the look is really starting to come together for these characters. As always, click to see it larger. Funny thing is, I really hate making cut paper in real life, but making the look (or something like it) digitally is fun.

Class Notes

2007-10-01T18:06:00.000-05:00

Balancing three days of classes, four days of work and all of those nights of homework is cutting into time that I get to update my sketchbook. Luckily, I get lots of time to do some off the top of my head sketches during my Lit class. Here is today's page.
I'll get the updated hansel and gretel up soon as well as the the final drawing soon!

Hansel and Gretel Sketch Dump

2007-09-21T09:59:00.000-05:00

Here's a current project I'm working on: my take on Hansel and Gretel.

I usually don't show all of my sketches here that go towards a finished project, but here it goes: an exhaustive look at my process. I like to do a bunch of drawing before I ever go into any of my graphic design or illustration. Click on any of the images to make them bigger.

I do have a process in which I like to work, but the style can vary greatly. I started out trying to find a look that I wanted to go for.

I liked the real chubby, classic-animation-esque Hansel and Gretel.

I try some other faces out..I think I like the one with curly hair.

I tried lots of witches, but the last one is the most fitting with the cartoony Hansel and Gretel.

I'll have final sketches for the characters and the environments the next time I post for Hansel and Gretel.

Homework!

2007-04-29T09:57:00.000-05:00

I'm very busy working on the last projects of the semester!

I might be a little busy to post for a little while.

See ya'll in the fall.

Sketchbook monsters. You may recognize the guy on the left.

Casey Hate Dishes

2007-04-23T11:32:00.000-05:00

Here's some homework for portrait drawing class... I'm thinking of adding text to it: "ME HATE DISHES" on the left (top to bottom; ME, fork, HATES, spoon, DISHES) in white. Let me know what you think.

In the Dispatch

2007-04-17T13:05:00.000-05:00

For those that missed it, I was in the Dispatch. It was pretty neat. I bought some extra copies for the parents.

Here's the piece that they picked to put in. It's Hugh Laurie as Dr. House from the hit show on Fox as done in Adobe Illustrator.

Evil Pat

2007-04-17T12:55:00.000-05:00

Here's an older one for you that never made it into a final project. The idea was to have Pat Robertson as a superhero that thought he was doing good, but was really evil. Just like in real life.

Cartoon Faces

Angry Fish

2007-04-17T11:12:00.000-05:00

Here is a marker and colored pencil comp of an angry fish. I forget what kind of fish it is, but it attacks its own reflection.

Green Painted Portrait

2007-04-17T11:09:00.000-05:00

My first oil painting in about two years. The picture quality isn't amazing.

Yoshimi

2007-04-17T11:01:00.000-05:00

I don't know if you are aware, but Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots will be a real musical penned by Aaron Sorkin (West Wing, Sports Night) featuring music from The Flaming Lips and produced by Des McAnuff (The Who's Tommy). This is real sketch and a fake poster for a real play.

The Paper on My Desk

2007-04-17T10:54:00.000-05:00

Taped down to my desk there is always a sheet of paper or bristol board that I also use for a mousepad. As you can see, I make notes, doodle, sketch, etc. on the paper. I especially like the Mario with the crus-tache and the zombie looking thing. This is the most recent one.

Portrait Sketch

2007-04-17T10:50:00.000-05:00

This one was from earlier this semester. A quick one.

2007-04-17T10:45:00.000-05:00

Welcome to my sketchbook.

I draw relentlessly, so I'm going to try to post as much as I can. I'll even throw in some finsished stuff too.
