Blog Issues, and a New Creature

I've been on the fence over whether to stick with a Wordpress blog or fully move to this Blogspot. In the end, I was dealing with way too many spam comments on Wordpress. So, tada! Blogspot it is. Here's a creature I've been working on lately. I began the drawing on a return flight from Los Angeles to Denver with a ballpoint and decided to switch to pencils so as to really spend some time refining it. I'll have to take it into Photoshop at some point to clean it up at some point, but I'm still deciding where to take it ultimately.

A Few Animals Meet Each Other

I felt the urge to mix a few animals together and came up with this: a bear, cow, bear, and maybe goat thing - owing to the four horns that appear here similar to how they appear on Jacob Goats/Sheep. I've been taking my time on this one, trying to crank out a little more than an average quick sketch for myself. Here also is life drawing from Starbucks on this rainy May 10 (June 2nd was a completely unrelated personal note to myself :-P ). Thanks for stopping by!

Big Red Dave

I'm finally feeling settled into my new home, new job at starbucks, and my routine overall. Last month my backpack was stolen, along with an almost-filled sketchbook. Kind of a bummer to have lost all those ideas, but more amazingly, my laptop, digital camera, AND checkbook were safely returned to me! Thank God. Here are a few pages spread out in my new sketchbook.

For these I imposed goblin features onto random shapes. Was pretty fun.
