Since I’ve started my new job, I havent been posting a whole lot on my blog. Since I’m starting the second part of my concept design class for production this week, I decided I need to start posting again. So here is a starbucks lid and my cover page for my facebook account. Hope you enjoy 🙂

Assignment 6 Being able to Mimic Another Artists Style
For this weeks assignment we had to design a dragon character based off the style of Ronald Searle and Jay Ward. They are two extremely different artists when figuring out characteristics of their work. My instructor gave me some really good feedback so I’ll be going back into these and updating them per his suggestions. Only two more weeks to go!
Assignment 5 Tell a Story

In this week’s assignment we had to have at least two characters that are interacting with each other in either a park bench or a bus stop. Naturally I had to add Death at the park lol Enjoy.
Assignment 4 Chracter Faces

This weeks assignment was literally a last minute thing. I’ve been pretty busy all week in preparation of leaving my current job at IKEA for my first industry job as a concept artist. So I’ve been running around crazy. So today I actually had time to work on my homework assignment. It was pretty hard considering we were making just character faces for librarians. And it was not an easy task. I hope you enjoy 🙂
Assignment 3 Character Lineup

In this one I focused more on the quality of the character designs and less on rendering. This one was a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy it 🙂
Balloon Boi Starbucks Lid Character warm up

Here is today’s warm up. I always loved getting balloons when I was a kid. Here is the feeling I would have when my mom or dad would buy me one. Enjoy 🙂
I’m Back! Lets resume the drawing :)

Hi everyone. Its been a long semester with lots continuing to happen. I’m currently taking a character design class (my first one ever) and I needed a warm up today so I made a new Starbucks lid character. I named him Frenchy since I was thinking of a french bulldog.
Enjoy 🙂
Wow I’ve been gone for awhile :D Hi Guys!
So I knew that this semester was gong to be busy. Working my day job, then teaching my two classes during the evening, then running my “Cauldron Bubbles” animated short during all my free time. Not to mention the hours of grading, and preparing for my lectures and communicating with my animation team.
But I’m going to try to be sure I post any work, even as loose as it might be, on my blog. So here were a few sketches from the last two days. Since I’ve been planning on autoCAD, I sometimes need to take a break from looking at my monitor. These are some results.
I signed up for my very first character design class that starts in April. I’m so excited. Since I’ve been teaching myself primarily through looking at other artists’ work and any tutorials they may have, I look forward to someone actually critiquing my work and giving me one on one advice. The goal again is to have pieces to put in my portfolio so that I can potential seek out employment as an artist in the game or animation field.
I’ll be keeping you guys posted. Thanks for your interest and support. It means a lot when people enjoy what I do.
Cheers!
A Fairy on my Starbucks Lid

While grading I was doodling in my sketchbook, and I started coming up with a version of a inspired Tinker Bell fairy. Hope you enjoy it.
