So I’ve been doing a lot of figure drawing lately. I think it’s definitely been helping me improve, it’s cool to be able to flip back through my sketchbooks and see my progress. Besides that, there’s something interesting about sitting around with a bunch of people and drawing the same subject. Anyways, here are a few of my latest drawings.
Really dig this piece, also doesn’t hurt that Drive was an awesome flick too.
Drive | Jim Rugg
Another phenomenal peice by Jim Rugg, done only with ballpoint pens and spiral notebook paper. The Notebook Nerd exhibition by Jim Rugg is on display at iam8bit in Los Angeles, California.
Jim Rugg has been on some kind of wild tear lately. If you can’t get to the iam8bit show, there’s always this Flickr set of his bananas pen drawings. Plus his new podcast, Tell Me Something I Don’t Know, which he cohosts with artist Jason Lex.
I’m getting closer to the end of the book, 13 more pages to draw. This is the first page of the final chapter of the book. I like how this one came out, so figured I’d post it up online.
So I thought I’d post some storyboards that I’ve been working on in my spare time. I’ve been doodling this character in my sketchbook for a while, and I thought he might make a fun character for a short. For the next step, I might put together an animatic. Anyways here they are, take a gander.
Hungry Hippos
I drew this up for my ultimate frisbee team, the Hungry Hippos back in Boston. This is going to be our new team frisbee.
We went through a couple of different versions, and below you can see the initial design proposals. I really liked the first one, with the hippo peering over the surface of the water, but everyone else responded more to the third design.
