marker practice

...so im in the process of redoing my whole portfolio. and it almost seems like going back to class since some of this are things havent done or things im not that good at. in this case its marker rendering. so before i do anything official i started some warm ups with basic ball, box shading and moved onto some of these early development sketches for characters.

CA'BOYZ....one of these days i'll do this book. but, these designs are still too out there for what i have in mind. too anime, even tho' im lookin at anime for inspiration. one thing i like is the intertwining fabrics, i just gotta simplify.


SKWERL....learning that classic animation style...been looking...okay watching alot of tom and jerry..man, stuff never old.



PAW....the head piece is gonna go but i couldnt resist. the rest would probably stay for the cowboy book. im color testing this one so its in progress.


RYU....just watched a street fighter cartoon and bought back an oooold idea from my first 'superhero' comicbook. im gathering some idea's from that concept and bringin' back but i dont have any plans to do a book on 'em...just fun. plus im gonna finish coloring it.

animation...character design

...ive always been looking for my preronal style so i never actually practiced conventional animation style. like tom and jerry and bugs bunny....my 'animation/cartoon' style has all really been 'graffiti' style, which really limits itself after a while. this weekend was an all out study of conventional animation..with my style. this week im goiong to continue studying this and tone my style down.

so like they say its back to the drawing board, but its really exciting for me because its an all new different approach to drawing, and i feel like its the first time drawing again..which is pretty neat.
