It's been a while...

While it's been some time since my last post, I can assure you that I have been drawing. I've been drawing quite a bit actually, almost every single day. I have lots of projects in the works and plan to post some of them soon.

You can also follow my daily sketch adventures via Twitter:

(Disclaimer: I only Tweet one or two sketches a week.)

So while you are stuck waiting I will post a finished illustration of one of my favorite subjects, Yoda!

Yoda - Now in Color!

Here is the color version of the Yoda sketch i drew last year on my vacation.

New Art for a New Year!

Here's a color version of the "Sara Holman, Queen of the Cupcakes" drawing that I did last year. Normally I'd go all out on the rendering of highlights and shadows for a illustration like this, but I really liked the look of it at the flat color stage so I left it as it was.

Colored using Photoshop CS5.

Purple Panda!

For Christmas last year my niece asked me to draw her a purple panda. I said "say whaaa..." Not being one to normally do a color Illustration with traditional art tools I said to myself "What the heck am I going to paint/color this with?" I decided to use colored pencils and I think that it turned out great! My niece loved it, as did the rest of my family.
