Inspiration used is Inspiration earned.

I'm working on my portfolio so I can work my way up to being a comic book artist and just all around awesome illustrator. So here are a few things I've been working on...just to get a little practice in.

     Kate, a friend of mine. The pose kind of reminded me of Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction.

 

 This is a character for a friend of mine's new comic he's writing. I need to get the muscle placement right and the proportions correct.

 Characters for my own web comic I a going to start here soon.

 I'm turning this in to Flash Magazine. I'm hoping I can be featured in the zine. That would be awesome!

 Tattoo design. Next comes the colors and shading. It was difficult to get the cogs right.

 Just for the hell of it. Thought it would be funny so see what all the other eggs think of the rotten one.

 a painting I had done for my husband. He's got it hanging over his computer desk now.

 I think my favorite thing is the reflection of colors in the pearls. I love pearls.

 Another painting but this time for a friend of mine. Wanted it to represent something like happiness in a dark place. I named it hope.

 My oldest son. The proportions of his face aren't right but I like the way the shading came out.

a tattoo design I want to get on my thigh. I can't wait to get it done now!


And that is what I've been doing lately. I am going to start doing daily sketches so I can get faster at drawing and get used to getting the proportions and foreshadowing correct.



Yup.
