mask - an epee dream
pen in sketchbook - pilot p-500 extra fine
This week's topic for Illustration Friday is Mask.
The other night, I had this dream of a masked man with an epee. Today, I continued the dream during my morning break at work...then sketched him while taking the train home.

Dreams are a wonderful thing.

This weeks' Illustration Friday topic is "MIGHT".
Here are some additional rambling sketches for the topic, done with a Berol Verithin Sky Blue 740.5 blue pencil I found deep in my pencil case:

Invention - Da Vinci Fish Flier
digital painting - Corel Painter
Back in March of 2006, I came up with some concepts for a weekly sketch group topic Evolution. The original idea I had was how fish would eventually evolve into flying creatures. I believe Da Vinci had postulated the same theory, but no one took him seriously. Since the topic this week for the Illustration Friday is INVENTION, I decided to take one of my original sketches and paint it.
If you are curious, you can see my other Flying Fish concept sketches here.

Pre-Thanksgiving Shopping Angst
Me with a bit of angst going from store to store -
blue bic pen on Banana Republic Credit Card Application
To prepare for the upcoming crazy holiday shopping madness, Rosa and I stopped in the mall to pick up some early gifts.
I left my sketchbook in the car, but was able to snag a bic pen and this lovely little marketing booklet, which I "borrowed" from the counter for signing credit card receipts.
I wanted to capture what I saw throughout the day... with some thought bubbles on their clothing:

rubber ducky
digital painting - corel painter.
concept pen sketch on blue steno pad.
Now that work has slowed down a bit and my freelance gigs are all completed, I had some time to play more with Painter.
I based this sketch of a duck with rubbers and a rain coat from wooden sculptures I saw in an store window two weeks ago. They were of a mama duck and her chicks all dressed in rain coats and hats with tiny foot rubbers. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen.

ghost - illustration friday
My first submission to the Illustration Friday site.
Sketched with Derwent graphite 4b, Prismacolor greys and thin lines with my friend, Mr. Pilot P-500.
I've been struggling with coloring the Mariachi sketch in Painter. I'll chip away at it more this weekend :).

assassin revisited - in color
This is my first attempt at coloring with Corel Painter. I wanted to take this application for a spin, figure out the dense interface and play around with the pens and brushes. I've always wanted to try it, but I never had a wacom. Now that I dove in and picked up the Intuos 3, I have no more excuses :)
See the original pen sketch here.
