Finish some more drawings

Learning so much from each drawing. Can't wait to do more in the new year.

Happy New Year everybody!!!

Sketchbook

This is my latest sketchbook. Learning so much from each drawing. 

A New Series

This is my second installation at Towson University. I just have two pieces showing. 

These two are the beginning of a new series of drawings. I hope everyone enjoys.

Being followed

I was walking my dogs today enjoying the day. Then a car slowly drives next to me. At first I thought this is weird. Stay cool I told myself. I then picked up my pace. The car kept up with me so I slowed down. Then the car slowed down too. I had enough. I looked over to see who was stalking me. It was a lady and she was waving. Not to be rude, I waved back even though I didn't know who she was. I stopped waving. She was still waving. To my discomfort I realize she was waving at my dogs. After a moment or so of my dogs and her exchanging loving gestures, the car behind her honked. This snapped her out of her trance. She finally acknowledges me and says “your puppies are very cute”. I smiled. In my head I said “Crazy woman they are 7 and 8 years old, look at the road.”  

What does this have to do with art? Nothing. Didn’t really know what to write about.

Pages

I've finished my thumbnails for my illustrated book. Most of the pages came from my storyboards when it was going to be a short film. Will not be posting those drawings any time soon... maybe in the back of the book. The number of pages currently is 48. I'm hoping to get it down to about 32. The story will dictate the final number. I'm so enjoying drawing with my imagination and not worried about the technical constraints of making a 3D film with limited resources. You can't get any more simple than a pencil and paper.
Here is my first pass of the title page and page 01. This is not final -more editing ahead. For now I'm enjoying the journey. Hope you enjoy seeing these pencil sketches.

Self Doubt

Self doubt, I've been fighting it lately. Second guessing myself, frozen in indecision and losing focus. Wondering why am I spending my free time doing this. Deep down I think we all know why we do what we do. For me I feel compelled to create images, moving or still. It's funny that the voice we should listen to comes as a whisper. 

What have I been doubting myself about? Trying to create a book proxy for my book. 

Image below is the final drawing for my next painting.

Sketches

Have not had time to work on any personal art. Been earning a living, paying the bills basically boring stuff. My job has finally slowed down.
