Helping to grow

Was able to create another illustration this weekend… It was both the easiest of the recent group as well as one of the more difficult.  The base sketch came very naturally, but coloring is still not my strength.  Let me know what you think.

Deep in thought

Picked up working on the side project again tonight with this sketch of a young boy deep in thought.  Really enjoying Autodesk’s Sketchbook Pro for these recent sketches but hate the way the iPad and Mac versions talk.

Project Z: Friendlier zombies

‘Z’ is for Zombies

Back when I originally started sketching for ‘Project Z’ I was unsure of the direction (and still am), so I did up this friendlier version. The kids love it, but I’m on the fence. Thoughts?

Oshawott

Oshawott with bandolier

Liam is torn between two worlds of Pokemon and soldiers, so he asked me to draw Oshawott with a bandolier.  Rather than push it over the top, I tried to keep it within the spirit of Pokemon with a shell based pocketed belt slung over his her its chest.

FCC Chairman

Ex-FCC Chairman (maybe)

Looking back at these older drawings makes me wish that I had done a better job documenting whom it was that I was capturing. Regardless, I believe that this was a caricature of the then-head of the FCC at the time.  Why?  Dunno.  But I still love the style and overall composition.

Gary Condit

Ex-Rep Gary Condit

Back when I worked at the Herald, I did a some editorial caricatures for them including this one of ex-Rep Gary Condit [D]. Condit was perfect fodder for the op-ed pages given the hypocrisy of his public condemnation against Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal when paired against his own extramarital affair with intern Chandra Levy.
