Gah! COLOR!!! ...and books and such.

I know twice in as many days, I'm posting again. It might become something. HAHAHA! No, probably not.

So as promised here is a color version of the previous post's image. Been playing around in photoshop. breaking away from my comfort zone. It's been interesting.

Also, last post i talked about Jack Hamm's figure drawing book being essential to me as an artist. Well, it got me thinking about other books that I seem to continue to go back to over and over again - so I decided to make a list and share it with you.

• How to Draw Animals (mammals, really) by Jack Hamm
• Drawing Scenery: Landscapes and Seascapes by Jack Hamm
• Dynamic Anatomy by Burne Hogarth
• Action Cartooning by Ben Caldwell
• Fantasy Cartooning by Ben Caldwell

There are a couple more but I really don't feel like going downstairs and getting the titles and author's names. So the list will remain incomplete for now.

Long Time...

... No blog!

So I've been busy with other things in my life these days. I'm really trying to get some art done, but it's hard, right now.

Any way, here is a little something for you fine folks. I've been playing around with a more realistic style lately. Not that I'm giving up on cartooning but it's nice to mix things up. As a result, this fine lass was done in combo of brush pen and felt pen and pencil. I got inspired by artist Jack Hamm. I have several of his books but find that his anatomy book is essential to me.

Hopefully it won't be too long until we meet again, folks. And maybe some color next time.
