Cowboy and Sketchdump

I wanted to draw something outside of my style. So I chose a cowboy. 

 

I drew this picture of 'ol Shellhead from one of my comic books. 

School starts in two weeks! (again!) 

Renegade Beaver and art

Pardon for the offense I may have caused Twilight fans last post. I wasn't bashing you, just the books. If you're a fan of the books, then all the more power to you. They're just not my cup of tea. But Kenny and the Dragon came out and it's wonderful! (psst, Rachel!  You would love the illustrations in this book. They reminded me of your art).

Moving on:

Yesterday we found this tree in our backyard.

 

Check out these teeth marks! 

 

This poor chap is next. 

Look out everybody, there's a renegade beaver on the loose!

Okay, enough nonsense on my blog. Time for art. 

Here's the thing, I need some hardcore critique because I don't feel like I'm improving at all. 

  

I love the shaded one on this page. 

You know how some people are just naturally pleasant? That was this guy on the bottom of this page. He just gave this aura of cuddliness. 

More fun art coming soon, and not just sketches! 

Happy Summer Olympics opening day!

FILLER

because I'm procrastinating my English homework. And this is just plain funny.

In which there is a most fabulous contest

My favorite illustrator, Tony DiTerlizzi, is holding a contest on his blog. His next book is Kenny and The Dragon, which stars a rabbit and his dragon friend. To celebrate the book's release in August, he's holding a 'Design Your Own Dragon' contest. The winner receives an autographed copy of Kenny and The Dragon before it hits the shelves, along with an original sketch by Tony. Needless to say, I was pretty ecstatic about the whole thing and promptly designed my own drake to enter. 

Allow me to introduce you to Wyland: 

Wyland doesn't breath fire, but bubbles. Embarrassed by his lack of fire-breathing skills, he sets off to find somebody who can teach him to be a proper dragon. What he learns instead is that he's not a normal every-day dragon, but a wish dragon. The bubbles he breathes are the wishes of children around the world, and only he can fulfill those wishes. He was a lot of fun to design, and even more fun to practice with coloration in Photoshop, because I need all the practice I can get with that program.
