ENVELOPE BACK AND ANOTHER SNIPPET...

Happy belated holiday wishes to you all. I didn't have access to a scanner here but, it did sketch some santa type stuff... In the absence of any YULE type art from me this year I submit this stuff I have from a few weeks back...

Hope you dig and keep enjoying your holidays...

CHARGE!

I liked this little toon Centaur Knight fellow... Cantorsworth, is his name and jousting is his game... Perhaps I'll get into more stuff like this next year... with more storytelling...
This guy makes me think of wandering the country side tilting at windmills... Like I normally do.
Will try to work out some sort of holiday greeting image while there if possible... Something mighty simple...

Beyond that Wish me a safe flight. I look forward to keeping the blog rocking into the new year.
I hope your all doing well.

Wishing you all many blank pages and plentiful ideas,
P

ONE.....

ER......... I mean 400.

One Year ago, I set a goal for myself. I decided to match the number of posts I'd made in the first four years of my blog over the span of twelve months... 400 Posts later, I can say "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!".

I had a tough time picking an image to post as image 400. I opted for this one since I kinda hoped for a sense of enlightenment. to accompany my feeling of accomplishment at meeting this goal. I also want to take a quick moment and thank all my friends and followers who've supported my efforts and checked in on the blog... You all drive me to be better at what I do. You are all Awesome.


In closing I feel pretty good about my endeavor, and the work it turned out. I'll take it easy for a few weeks now as the holidays approach so that I can relax my drawing arm a tad. I imagine I'll post once or twice more before the year is out but I wanna keep it simple. Because, Next year there will be MORE ART for me to make, and I look forward to sharing it with you here.

Hope you dig,
P

TWO

Hey all, here are duet of drawn duckies for my post labeled Deuce. The first one has a pretty clear message to it, and I was really happy with the drawing. The second one is a pretty generic duck drawing for me. Next year I really want to shoot for breaking away from some of my more generic figure drawing practices... Want to get better every day..

THREE

Today I'm nearing the end of my month long Mustache fundraising to help Underfunded teachers and School programs. I sacrificed my Mighty beard for the cause, and replaced it with an awkwardly awesome mustache. So here's an Mustache sketch from a forgotten stack of sketches.

ALSO!, I'm throwing in this extra page of sketches from a long train trip a few nights back.

Hope you dig.
P

FOUR

Here are a couple of heads with a quick hit of photoshop. Like how they came out, and I'll probably treat more stuff like this in the future.

Hope you dig,
P

FIVE

FOX and SWINE don't always get along, because they're nothing alike. Fox is a pretty big jerk but, we'll try to let it slide because I'd heard that Swine completely turned Fox's den into a Sty.

WHALE BRAINS!

I imagine that whales have bigger brains then this one. But, I still like the guy..

Here's hoping you dig him too.
Comments and feedback welcome.

Street Mines...

Living in New York puts in close proximity to street mines. Meaning sidewalk dog poops... It's one of those little pet peeves I have, I don't think people should have dogs if they don't wanna take care of them properly... If you walk your dog in public, don't be like this guy... PICK UP THE POOP!.

Hope you Dig,
P

Single White Feline

He's your average everyday white house cat. Furthermore, he's surly... He fancies Veal Parm, and detests every third Monday. Scratch that, he doesn't like Mondays period... He want's to know if he can get Chinese food for lunch...

Hope you dig,
P

SUPERBRIGHT!!

Wanted to put some very loud colors on this head sketch... Happy with the outcome, Imagine I'll do some more in the coming year..

Hope you dig.
P

9/10ths...

At the time of this count, I should have 390 posts. This Demon is putting me on the way towards a full 400 for the year of 2011. I kinda like how this came together and I'm happy that I trimmed the remainder of the drawing off. I had a woman in the drawing like they were a demon couple family portrait.

I hope you dig.
P

MOSQUETERO

I've drawn a few swash buckling swordsmen lately. Some wacky colors popped up in this image but, I kinda liked them. If you have anything to say about this silly scribbled fellow, please do.

All for one, one for all. Hope you dig.
P

GlamGal...

Been a while since I threw some colors on a little female sketch. I trimmed out some of the figure in this drawing. I thought it was a little rubbish. However, I enjoyed her face. I liked the ears and the shape of the hair.

Hope you dig,
P

TECHNO Style Hamlet an' Yorick

I've drawn this pose more times then I can count... Drawn different skulls, and characters I always have fun with it... Here I opted to make a future high tech version of Hamlet. Perhaps he's got a bionic limb and when he does the scene with the skull Its some sort of Alien skull.

Hope you dig,
P

Princess type stuff..

I was playing around with some colors on a little princess sketch.

Hope you dig,

COSMIC WANDERER W/ BLASTER

He is traveling through the darkest reaches of space in search of color correction... Professional color correction. Until then he'll set his chroma blaster to saturate and wish for the best...

GOGODINGO...

GOGODINGO!!! A DINGO AT MY SKETCH PAD!!.. All it left behind was this quick little drawing.

Hope you dig,

TIN MAN

This Image started out as a little study in Illustrator. Wanted to make a version of the Tin Man, from Oz. It seemed like a ggod chance to render some technical looking stuff in illustrator.

Thi early version actually wasn't really working out to my satisfaction. I couldn't seem to find a way to get the poses to work out in a way I was happy with. Later that evening I actually sketched out this little image idea that got me thinking.

Thus bringing me to this final version, there are a few things I'd probably edit if I were to draw it again. But, for now I'm happy with it. Let me know what you all think if you have a moment.

Scuffy looking Madman..

Fire Font

This guy here came from an idea I'd had to have a head projecting from a font of spiritual fire... He's particularly calm in spite of the flames involved.

Hope you dig,
P

Brushpen Follies...

I've been messing about with brush pens lately. This little guy is the product of some fast brushwork on the train, and a little photoshop... Love the loose lines you can get from a brush tip marker.

I'm on my way out for a turkey dinner and I'm taking my stache with me...
Enjoy your holidays everyone.

The Menacing Tree DEVIL

When Settlers first came to the new world they didn't know what to make of this large furry rodent that lived in the trees... It would ravage crops and livestock as well as Destroy patio furniture... Early settlers attempted to stamp out the population, with no success. Its believed the tree devil still exists in remote regions of Manitoba.

I think I had squirrels on the brain when I sketched this image. Sorta halted myself from getting to much more sucked into the color and rendering...

Hope you dig.
P

Fountain Drinks.

This guy likes fountain drinks... He has them often. Right now he's having a Sir. Cherry Burps-a-lot, at the beach... He'll probably have to take a leak soon, but for now he's enjoying the carbonated goodness..

Hope you dig.
P

Magnificent Curly type Beard..

Seems lately when I decide to draw some kind of medieval dude that I wanna give him some wild bear or heavy duty facial hair... It never fails to keep my amused when I'm drawing or painting... So here's a guy with some facial curls in a shade of red...

Hope you dig.

15/16THS

We'll I'm pressing ever onward with this 400 posts endeavor. and putting in some extra time trying to complete all of the images, before the holiday gets out of hands. right now its only looking like there are few weeks worth of posts left in this challenge I put out for myself a few months back. Just looking forward to kicking out a few more fun images in 2011. I guess anything I don't get drawn, scanned, or colored will probably be showing up here in 2o12.. But, I'd rather not think about that now...

Too much on my plate at the moment, gotta get cracking.
Hope you dig...
P

Liquid Spirit...

This is a liquid spirit. He popped out of my pencil on a page load of drawings. Figured I'd do a quick color treatment on him. Dinked around with more filters then I normally do and kinda liked what I saw.

Hope you Dig,
P

Rabbit W/ Midget Ears

He likes Carrots just like the other rabbits but he has super tiny ears. With some pretty ridiculous teeth too boot. But don't tell him that, those teeth are pretty sharp...

Hope you dig,
P

Bright Blonde Spike

This fella has some slick shades and a whole tub of styling product in his back pocket. He keeps his do looking stylish with a modest amount. Only three or four pounds per Follicle. Then he pops on his sun shades and heads for the beach with his wake board...
Gonna shoot the curl...

Hope you dig.
P

Curly Stache

this is a little corner of a page of sketches that I didn't really love... but I liked this guy... Figured he might be a strong man or something of that ilk... Hope you dig his super duper strong and curly type stache.

P

Capn' PirateCrab

On a Pirate vibe lately. I remember drawing this and thinking it was something I saw potential to make some funny character studies. Pretty sure its been done to death now that I'm looking at it again.. But, heck I'll post it up because It seemed like fun.

Hope you dig.
P

Staches and Tats

This drawing came from outta nowhere... Drawn on the back of some long forgotten photo reference from one of my caricature gigs... Like his weird nose and wish I'd scribbled on some more tattoos. Perhaps I'll Do some more of this in the near future.

Hope you dig him.
P

Capn' Winston Hurley

He's a captain from a large cruise ship... On this ship, he makes crazy matches and helps people find love... He smokes a tangy blend of pipe tobacco that just puts everyone on the boat at ease... It puts them in the mood for love....., and snack cakes.

Hope you dig,
P

Mustache.

Yeah I usually post up a mustache sketch around this time of year in honor of my fallen beard and my growing a mustache for the charity Mustaches for Kids..

Hope you dig this scribble.
P

CatCLOPS...

This one eyed feline jumped off my pencil around the Halloween season. Liked the idea of a MONO Optical cat from the spectral world. It uses its glowing orange eye to hunt for mice in the night. If he focuses he can also use his super eye to look through men's soul's.. I've named him Fromley.
Hope you dig,
P

Sorta Seagal...

I had the boy from Lansing Mi, in mind when I started this drawing. Might have been an evening where I'd watched Above the Law... I thought this cartoon version would look good in a crazy action pose.

Hope you dig..
P

Subject Matters..

So,
I've neglected drawing this stuff for just a while... My apologies...
I fiddled out some little bear drawings and decided to flex some of my rusty Korean writing skills with the aid of a bilingual dictionary.
Funny enough, the Korean words for sword is very similar to the word for Bear. Writing them out shows how closely they resemble eachother.

Beyond that I just have a page of little bear drawings in different situations. Then tacked on some Korean words. Some of them are actually written and pronounced just like they are in English (Hive is "Ha-ee-bu"), but a few of the words are unique (Butterfly is "Na-Bee)...

Placemat smatterings...

Here's a placemat from a few nights back while out eating with my friend Liam. I was pretty focused on inhaling a BLT with some chips but, I did squeeze out a few scribbles that I liked... SO this is pretty bodged together for a post... Minimal colors, drawn with one of those micron pens so the lines are minimal and clean I hope... I really do love the place mates with the Grecian themed design pattern around the outside... Always makes for a great frame..

Hope you dig.
P

Eerie Green Aura..

I was liking this guys face.. He seems like a fellow that was into the supernatural... He is a very strange fellow.

Hope you dig,

Admiral Pendelhurst

He was known for his stache, and his shiney red snoot...
He sailed the high seas in order to loot...

Nobody said he was a good Admiral..
Hope you dig
P

p.s. I really love how the word "ahoy" looks for some reason..

VectorFOX

I'm still fussing around with Illustrator... I tend to bring things in to photoshop at some point just to apply colors and textures and such... even do some color mods... The good news is that illustrator is slowly growing on me. I like doing design/ shape based drawing and college... and this program lends itself very well to that..

I'll post up some more when I get it wrapped up... For now though, enjoy the fox.

Mishmosh

I post a lot of digital work here on the blog in spite of the fact that I draw quite a bit, now and then. I've had friends ask why I don't post my images in a more unedited fashion. My sketch pages can in fact get a little messy. This page here is a good example of such. There is a bit of color on it. But, it was drawn on the back of a bit of photostat that I was using for a showpiece... I also drew an image on the page earlier that day (which I didn't like too much) and, later drew over because i'd run out of blank sheets... In honest, I kinda like the MISH MOSH of the image, and imagine I'll try to do more stuff like this in the future...
