Sketchbook (Day 24)

Today I have the second part of my Queen of Hearts sequences from Alice in Wonderland. This time we have Miranda Richardson as the Queen of Hearts from the 1999 Alice in wonderland staring Tina Majorino. I chose to recreate the same scene as yesterday's sketch, but a little later on in the scene. 

Sketchbook (Day 23)

Today's double page sketch is an action sequence of the Queen of Hearts from the 1951 Disney animated Alice in Wonderland. I used a sumi brush with india ink to create this two-page drawing. Part Two comes tomorrow.

Today's piece is another face painting. Sorry for posting late, I just got back from seeing the Hunger Games midnight premier! It was awesome!

Sketchbook (Day 18)

I have something a little different for you today. Instead of a regular sketch from my little sketchbook, I found a re-useable page in my old Moleskine from high-school and made a one page ink comic with my new sumi brushes. And I had a lot of fun with it. 

I decided to give the comic an organic basis, so instead of using very strictly defined panels I was more loose with my panel shapes. 


Since it's a full page comic I recommend checking out fullsize view. You will be able to see a lot more of it. 

Sketchbook (Day 16)

This partial figure was done from a photo reference I found online but have since misplaced. I did her in ink and did a light wash over that on a page from an old book. I then glued that page onto an abstract crayon sketch in my sketchbook. I enjoy the final result, I think it looks interesting.

Sketchbook (Day 11)

Sorry for not uploading yesterday, I went to go see a concert in Orlando and didn't get a chance to post. However I will post two today. 


This is an imagined house for a witch character I've been working on. I wanted it to look like it's just been growing over time; hodge-podge and absurd. 

Sketchbook (Day Six)

This stated off as a little experiment in staw-hatching above my notes in History of Illustration class. I liked what was going on, so I moved to my sketchbook and made this lady. My pen broke in the middle of it (the ink stain on the left), but I am definitely glad I took the time to practice straw-hatching. 

Sketchbook (Day Three)

I had a little time this morning, so I thought I would post my sketchbook page a little early. A few weeks ago I overheard a conversation I thought was interesting, and so I quickly jotted it down in pencil into a comic. Then, I came back to it after several weeks and decided to go over it with ink. and a little ink wash. I ended up getting rid of the words, trying for the feeling with very basic shapes.
