A Recent Doodle From My Sketchbook

I'm posting this because I'm fascinated by how differently all of us sketch and doodle when trying to come up with ideas. How different all of our thought processes are.  I find I have to fill sketchbook after sketchbook with these stream of consciousness pages day after day in order to eventually move onto a finished drawing.  And I don't know why, really.  Why can't I just go directly to the finished piece?

Golden Age Daydream for Tom Moon

I was doodling and somehow this scene came out...it seemed like something that would make Tom Moon laugh. Therefore, I had to finish it.

My perspective is still so shaky...

A Golden Age tribute. It should be a cover (obviously!), and I'd imagined a typical DC blurb attached, something like, "Super Jimmy GOES INSANE?!?"

Tom Moon, you should color this for the benefit of our TAG family.

Bat Bolt

It works in preview

Goofin' with GIF's

A demo I did for the benefit of my animal drawing students. The assignment is a motion study, and is not intended as an animation--just a series of drawings made from video reference of the student's choice. I found some sketchy footage of a gerenuk bounding for my source material.

I just sketched 'em out without doing the animation-y thing of making flippable drawings....just winged it. It has lots of glitches, but given my rustiness, I was relieved it looked even this good!

Sorry about missing last week...I'll do better in future!

Bopping along

No ones paying attention to how much I claim I'll be getting done are they?

I'm not obviously. Sometimes it flows easy. Had some trouble with that third pose.

This again!

This is the catalog of the Kirby exhibit that was at Cal State Northridge. I wrote too much about it on the Facebook TAG blog. It is a great book with some interesting essays. They call the Fourth World on period Kirby's Apocalypse period as he moved away from hero centric stories to whole worlds facing their moral comeuppance.

Up to Panel 37 in Thumbnails. About 60 to go

50 something to go now.

Another "Tales Of The Cork!" Lil' Okie Ellis page...

Way too slow.

There's another panel that goes in front of this (it's the end of the previous page) but I haven't quite got the lettering done...and so it goes.

WIP-Elf-Archer

More freelance.

They have 120 credit for that much overpayment.

Lucky for me the overpayment occurred when it did.

Coasting into Soc Security payments made easier.

15 days away.

On to color

color done

Marty exploration of layering more neutrals in BKG:

Tone down purple by adding a layer (set on OVERLAY) of yellowish gray...

...knock back BKG with a layer (set on MULTIPLY--thank you, Tom Moon) of darker blue'ish slate gray (halved the transparency to keep it from getting too dark)

Does this look any better?
