Sailors and tattoos. I don’t have a scanner, so I do what I can with my cellphone and photoshop.
Couple of classmate sketches done during life drawing.
Silly Jesus-like drawing of classmate-person Luis Gadea. Possibly the best artist I’ve ever met in real life. You should all go check out his short film. It’ll blow your mind even more when you realize that he did all of that on his own, in the span of 4 months (more or less).
WARNING: Naked Ladies
Sometimes, during Life Drawing, I like to pretend I’m Jack Dawson…
Look, I never said I was any good at full-body rotations. #CharacterDesignFAIL
LAYOUT ASSIGNMENT: Part of my Asterix Pan because I’m stupid and lazy and didn’t scan all of it. I may do just that once I get it back in a couple of months…
Also, remember that time when I used to hate doing backgrounds? Now I kind of love it…
I’M HAVING SO MUCH FUN WITH THE WALKING CYCLE, YOU GUYS!!
Choosing to do a naked dude with bouncing balls was the right way to go :’-)
Shit from 2006.
My best advice to artists: NEVER STOP DRAWING!! Just keep doing it. Then, keep everything you do so when you look at it years later you go “MAN!! I’ve come such a long way………….. how could I have ever been PROUD of THAT!?” It’ll give you both a sense of accomplishment and a reminder to stay humble, because you can always get better. Not to forget, sometimes you can find great ideas buried deep down there.
I drew some of my classmates during life drawing instead of drawing naked people. Priorities.
The many stages of bad character design.
Our assignment was to design an ice cream man that could fit within the world of Felix the Cat. I still feel like I failed miserably, BUT, I learned something I wish someone had told me before: It’s ok if your first drawing is not perfect, just go back and keep working on it until you get something that either pleases you or that’s decent enough to hand in. Don’t be frustrated if your first sketch looks nothing like what it should, eventually you’ll get somewhere :)
