Today's warm-up...

Playing with textures and layer effects...

Warm-up drawing today. Shyster rabbits with mustaches and mice throwing accusatory fingers...

Some drawings from this week's workshops...

More short-pose lunchtime drawings, 5 mins. I was impressed with how many different characters Jonathan Cripple was able to create...(click for slideshow)

Done in by a cup o' tea!

Quick gesture drawings with the dreaded Sharpie and the magnificent Stacy Walker...

Each year, DreamWorks has its own internal "Con" for employees to showcase, share, and sell their personal work. I created the artwork and poster for this year's Dream-Con. We chose an Oktoberfest theme, so I transformed the campus into a German village...

Zorro rode into town for our lunchtime drawing session...

He peered down protectively on our humble studio,

then lept into action when a fierce tater-tot dispute erupted in the comissary.

After quelling the uprising, he contemplated the pros and cons of a tater-totless existence. Hash browns cause much less trouble, he thought.

Sharpie, 5 minutes apiece



Today's lunchtime drawings. The pencil and I were barely on speaking terms, but the model was terrific.

3 to 5 min poses.

More sketches from the lunchtime drawing sessions at work. Really fun model.

3 to 5 min. poses.

Sharpie Hell

Still struggling to make magic with the Sharpie. These are from two different sessions, both with Dave P.

1 to 3 min. poses.

N.C. Wyethesque

This week's model reminded me of an N.C. Wyeth character. Great silhouettes and expressiveness.

2- and 5-min poses.

Had an elegant model last week, and chose an inelegant tool to draw with--a Sharpie. Interesting challenge.

Samurai theme for another recent gesture drawing session...
