morestache..

i wasn't gonna post this yet cause it's not finished -- or anywhere near finished for that matter.  truth is, it takes me sooo friggin' long to get through these, i thought i'd throw it up and maybe someone will offer something constructive.  i've never been a good painter, but i'm trying to improve that skill.  it's a long road for me...

chinois...

 the thumbnails were drawn the old fashioned way, then scanned in later for reference to what in blazes i was attempting to do...

started to rough things out a bit...

continued to hash things out a little more--this ended here though, the overall direction changed completely after this and it was abandoned for lack of time.  one of these days i will revisit this for fun though--i liked where it was going.

as you may or may not be able to tell, i drew this in flash.  mistake.  i should have anticipated that the file would get very large very fast...got very slow in a hurry.  when i come back to this i will most likely finish it up with sketchbook pro.  at the very least--if it must be 'flashified'--save the final linework for flash.

scheister...

quick sketch using sketchbook pro--more of a warm up drawing, i guess--sleazeball...

shut your moustache...

an unfinished sketch using sketchbook pro--which is a program i'm really starting to like, btw...i figured it was time i started posting more sketches to keep myself challenged and inspired, so here y'are..

first play with sketchbook pro...

so i finally pulled myself out of the dark ages and got myself a copy of sketchbook pro.  i kinda like that it's a very simple and easy to use without all sorts of bells and whistles.  chances are i'll use it a lot for sketching until i get a little deeper into the program...

who will move into this neighborhood...

a sketch i did recently.  i'll work it up some more eventually--maybe finish it a few different ways to force myself to experiment a little...

funny how that works...

interesting--i've been here 2 times in the last year or so and both times i brought a tree.  figures...
