Coyote

Once, not so very long ago, I was walking to class from my dorm in college when along the path heading towards me came a trotting coyote. For a very brief moment we stopped and stood only a few feet apart regarding each other in startled silence and then he quickly turned and disappeared among the buildings. It was the one and only time I ever saw a coyote on campus...(that memory came back to me while I was drawing this.)

Sketching from a Sketch

just some practice doodlings from a sketch I did while out and about...

Fauns Love Cupcakes

Eat Your Veggies

I struggled a bit initially while trying to design this character for "Tak". I wasn't given much description of him except that he was weird and goofy....I remember snacking on some carrots at the time which inspired a silly quick sketch of this guy that ended up getting approved by the director..... (I never saw how he turned out in the show, I know it was a very brief scene in one of the last episodes)...

A Critter

Horses

Finally getting around to scanning some of these...My visits to the equestrian center haven't been as frequent and I'm feeling out of practice...

Four Random Doodles...

...from three different sketchbooks.

Kitty

Spider Juju

Little Raccoon

I did this a while back when I was practicing with illustrator and a simpler style-kinda the pre-school show look I suppose. As a character designer I find it's good to be a bit of a chameleon and able to mimic different styles since I never know what kind of show I may end up working on. Though it may be a struggle at times, I rather enjoy the challenge of trying to match a new or unfamiliar style. I often discover after working for a period of time on a particular show that it's style seeps into my own personal work which can be either a good thing or a not-so-good thing....but there's always something new to learn which I find motivating.

Haven't had much time to keep up with this blog lately.....here's a chubby doggie...

Birds of a Feather

...miscellaneous bird doodles

Traveller

(Click image for larger version)I recently read the novel, "Traveller", by one of my favorite authors, Richard Adams (he also wrote "Watership Down"). It's a Civil War story told through the eyes of General Robert E. Lee's horse, Traveller, and I highly recommend it. It's interesting to see the Civil War from a horse's perspective. Anyways while reading the book I was inspired to paint this-I tried to stay loose, been feeling like I'm tightening up too much lately...

Stag & Doe

I drew this on the cover of my new sketchbook which was probably not such a great idea since he will most likely end up smeared and smudged...And this might be his shy doe (inside the sketchbook this time)...
