...In random business.

Just random work in the last few days.....but elsewise...

Some kid at mugs along with some guys some other place.



I call him fatman...just sketching no real person. The bottom one started out as something entirely different...i don't remember what it was. it wasn't a person.


Frame 7 of a page I was doing.


A sketched idea for an image. A person of some kind smirking as he's fooling a soldier with false letters of transit...

...in doing other things.

I started working on a digital thing. I have no idea what it is. I am calling it "Lava Walker" for now. We'll see where it goes, but here it is in progress.

...in nothing better to do.

So here we are again. As per usual, it's been a while. I'd like to say I've been busy, but I haven't. Leastways in art anyhow. Just a few pages from the sketchbook here...

My love affair with Zombies...


Random Faces etc.


And RRRRRobots.


And BATMAN.


Aside from that, I've spent a LITTLE time in traditional media...acrylic paint and canvas etc. nothing spectacular.


Arcylic on canvas 48in x 20in

This based on a sketch I saw on Mark Bailey's blog. We went to highschool together, he was artistic then as well...I wasn't. He's much better. His sketch was based on Jonah and the whale I think, mine is argo, the constellation. kind of.

Acrylic on canvas 40in x 8 in

This is just a semi-abstracted interior courtyard, in progress...

acrylic on canvas 18 in x 30 in

My younger step brother is into cars etc so this is a piece I'm inactively working on for him. It's not an engine...I have no idea what an engine actually looks like. feh.

...in awkward but refreshing eye contact...

All I really have to report are a few more sketches...

I am feeling much better...though not fantastic, but better.

I don't know how old this is...I didn't see that I had posted it anywhere else, if I have, I apologize.
It appears to be an older man...and a woman...and stuff...


Filling in a page I'd previously scanned...The man in the lower left...really looks like that...See?

Tonight I was at the B&N cafe because it is closer to the gym, and has a slow enough turn over of people that it facilitates longer studies if I choose...which I still tend not to. There was a girl who studies there on a regular basis and who undoubtedly has gathered that I draw people...Tonight was her turn, and she was very clearly aware I was looking at her, which made it hard. I didn't get to look up for reference for more than a second at a time so the drawing is pretty simple...Also...pretty people are hard to draw. They tend not to have marks or blemishes which make them identifiable, or shapely, instead, smooth skin which can't be marked etc...it's hard to draw so perfectly with so few marks...I need to work on that. It is a similar hangup to why I am never satisfied with my drawings of Sam.

So...to the girl at the B&N cafe...you are really cute...i'll buy you coffee or whatever if i can draw you...BUT...i am utterly head over heels for another girl, so...coffee and company?(cheesy enough? "my name's colin and i draw pretty pictures!") cough...good thing no one reads this.

...in...

Just some more "life drawings" and miscellaneous sketches from yesterday.

I realized I had somehow managed to skip a page in my book so I tried to see what I remembered from figure drawing/anatomy. I'm all too certain that only about 2 muscles are right/in proportion, but a good number of them are INCLUDED at least...

Four faces, facing Four directions.

...in...whatever.

This is a denizen of Mugs coffee lounge. she's there all the time, and may or may not be a bit more crazy then the most of us.
