Sketchcrawl Street Objects

Illustration Friday Topic : Hollow

Heres a sketch I did for illustration friday this week. I had some issues with putting some quick shading in. I'm gonna have to redo it...for some reason the reds weren't matching up and some other issues...not used to this red pencil thing im tryin'. Stay tuned for a huuggeeee sketch dump from 12 hours of straight drawing with some new friends from Blue Sky Studios.

Fisherman hideout: In progress

Taylor you requested a fisherman hideout..some sort of phillipines thing o something. So heres what i came up with...you(taylor) always seem to do drawings that are more realized. lots of well drawn detail with a more realistic feel to it. So thats how i decided to approach this. Besides...those 2d vector drawings are fun, but they don't showcase drawing ability well sometimes. so i decided to do an ACTUAL drawing...tried ball point pen for the first time in years.. i am a fan! stay tuned for more developed version..hope you enjoy.

Pirate Hideout..as requested

Keep the requests coming por favor

Hideouts!

i found a way to break my house phase..sort of. Today while playing with the dogs i got an idea.. im going to draw hideouts. for all types of kids. This one is very simple, more of an ideal little girls hideout, a perfect pot for tea parties and dolls, adventurous boy hideout coming up next.

Edit= Boys posted...more to come

Illustration Friday Topic : Worn

I know i know!!!! you are all probably tired of my drawing houses, its kind of my latest default, but i really wanted to draw a dilapidated house for this illustration friday topic. This is was done in under an hour, but not sure how long exactly, might have only been 30 or 40 minutes,i'm not entirely sure. Had my first illustration job today to be published in a news paper. If any of you get the montclair times be on the look out for it, it can be seen below. If anybody has any requests out there for more stuff, feel free to shoot me some ideas. having a little blank canvas syndrome lately, i think i'm going to continue on this house binge. The houses i have been drawing are fun but they arent really pushing the shapes far enough i think. I want to bump up the mass and shape of the houses so they get really exaggerated, then once i'm satisfied i will move onto some finished house pieces, or something all new all together. Thanks for looking, and reading...if you read this.

Oh yeah, does it bother anyone else when people post artwork they did previously for new IF topics...i feel like you should do a drawing illustrating the topic..not just find something to post.
