Sick Day Sketches

Once I was feeling a little better yesterday evening I did some Laura Croft and Korra sketches. Not my best, but it got the hand moving again.

Lunchtime Avatar

Just a little doodle of Ang while we waited for our lunch.

Enjoy.

A Change of Seasons

Good evening everyone. It's been a while

Well, since we last saw each other I have found myself to be back in the job hunt with a lot of my fellow coworkers. Not the best thing to be reporting, and it has been a crazy couple of weeks, but the wheels are turning again and I feel that good things are on their way. But if you know of a company looking for an experienced Test Lead/Tester, drop me a line.

But while I have some new free time I think that I'll return to this blog again. And to start things off, here are some sketches I did a couple of days ago. It was a 'daddy/daughter drawing hour' and this is what my paper looked like. My daughter was fascinated by the hatching and tried to do it all over her paper and a little on mine too.

Hope you like em.

A Brief Respite

Well, the storm at work may be over for a time.

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Lots of overtime, lots of packed days, not a lot of sleep.

And I also haven't been remembering about this blog, usually, till I get home at night. And by then I'm in bed and say to myself that tomorrow will be different and I'll actually get back to sketching and showing you all those doodles.

But obviously that has not been the case for a while. As such I'm giving you another batch of sketches that were done earlier.

Hope ya'll think they're enjoyable and I hope that I'll be able to resume a normal blogger schedule next week (I'm already counting tomorrow as another wash).

Good night, and have a good weekend everyone.

Trying to Get the Band Back Together

Good afternoon everyone.

It's a beautiful, sunny day here outside of ninjaboy's honbu dojo. The GF and our daughter are out of town for the day, and I'm taking some time before I have to start running errands, mowing the lawn and doing some housework before I go out to watch UFC 150 with some friends this evening.

And so, I decided to 'finally' post some sketches that I had done but never got around to posting for various lame reasons.

Work has finally slowed down for me and so I think that I'll be able to get back on track with my original 'sketch-a-day' intentions.

So without further delay, here is another sketch dump. These have been created using a mix of CS3 and Sketchbook Pro.

Making up for lost time

Well, well, well. Look who finally got back around to his blog.

That's right. I'm back for a new update everyone (who's still bothering to come by my moderately neglected corner of the internet). And this time I'm bring you three sketches of varying content.

The first is from the other weekend, and was done while my daughter was taking a nap. We had just finished watching some more Avatar (which we finished last weekend, and it was AWESOME!). So I did another sketch of Ang and Katara practicing some tai chi / water bending.

The next sketch is from yesterday and was the product of only a minute or so. I was rather busy and my sketch-break ran very short. So it is nothing more than a gesture.

And lastly, is a series of sketches I did today. I wanted to treat it more as an exercise of warm-ups. Just to keep my hand moving on the page, not getting attached to anything and keep doodling till my break was up.

I also got a request for some artwork at work, so I will probably start working on that sometime soon as well.

So on that note, I'm gonna call it a night. Hope you all dig at least one of these sketches, and I'll see you back here next time.

A Mobile Update; Attempt 1

Hi there internetland. I'm using the Blogger app for tonight's post.

Thanks to a topsy/turvy day at work I didn't get a digital sketch done. But I did do some sketchbook sketching over the weekend, so here is a posting with that page. Hope y'all dig and I'll see you back here tomorrow.

Monday and Tuesday, Sort of Friday Too

Good evening anyone out there that is still coming around to this blog.

Sorry for the continual lapses in my updates. I started to do a sketch on Friday of Soka and Suki from Avatar: The Last Airbender. But I didn't get much farther than some quick gestures, so I fleshed out the forms a little more on Monday.
Suki's right arm is crazy long, and I didn't feel like spending a lot more time trying to fix the layout. But I like the concept of the sketch and will probably re-visit it again in the near future.

Today's sketch is inspired by the upcoming Pixar flick, Brave. The teaser trailer looks pretty awesome. I'm a big fan of Scottish lore and love those settings, so this movie looks to be right up my alley. Plus the colors are amazing.

Anywho, I might finish this one up some more tomorrow. Or I might work on something else all together. We'll see what happens.

Have a good night everyone.

Water Bending

Good evening everyone.

Despite having a tweaked back I had a good chill weekend. My daughter and I watched some of Avatar's second season. When I sat down with my Bamboo tablet today, once again I decided to do another sketch based on this show once again.

Today's sketch is of Katara, from the Southern Water Tribe. I always really enjoy watching her water bending scenes because the animators do a great job using Tai Chi in really dynamic ways.

Hope ya'll like the sketch and I'll see you back here tomorrow.
