Sketches & Thumbnails

I'm starting to watch some Massive Black and Gnomon tutorial videos in an attempt to get awesome at drawring by the end of the year. Everything I've seen so far talks about the importance of doing lots of preliminary thumbnails and concept sketches before attempting a finished painting. I've got a concept in mind, and I plan on using the next few days to flesh out the designs further.

All Time Low

Here's an ad I did for the band All Time Low. The image here is part of a much larger illustration which you'll have to go to their concert to see.

Comic-Con 2008 & Sketchbook Pro 2009

Comic-con was awesome this year. Met some great people, went to some great parties and got to pick up some really nice art books. Met Mark Hamill at the Gotham Group party. He's a cool guy, we chatted about the Batman animated series (he did the voice of the Joker).

Anyways, I picked up SBP 2009 a couple weeks ago. Tonight was the first time I could really sink my teeth into it (if only for an hour) and I really really like it. I'm putting together my sketchbook to sell next year, and I think I'm going to be adding a lot of digital sketches to it.

Who's going?

I'll be there from Thursday through Sunday, buyin' art books and going to panels. Hope to see lots there!

quick sketch

Just a quick one for today. I've been working on an illustration for the band All Time Low all day, and I went to a 3am showing of Dark Knight last night so I'm wiped.

Oh, and my iPhone is back to normal. Thanks to all who sent in their letters and prayers.

Bricked my iPhone

Tried to update to the 2.0 and bricked it. Finally got it back to just being broken and not being useless, so now I just need to wait for someone to release some 2.0 hacking software.

Here's a sketch I did last week:
