Sketches

I haven't posted any gestures or sketches in a while, so here they are. 

Having fun with some characters of mine. 

It's of some interest to note that I love the show The #1 Ladies Detective Agency. I drew these next two while I was watching it last week. 

These were drawn whilst visiting my favorite place in the world,  Newport Beach CA. 

While this thing was drawn whilst waiting for my sister to register for classes back here in Utah. 

Stephanie and I frequently visit the mall to sketch the local scene. 

Ah, here's Steph now. 

I've been really missing my father lately. I sketched this up tonight because it's a way of helping me to remember. And because I wanted to show him that I'm still going for my dreams, no matter how impossible they seem right now for me to reach. My dad believed in me more than anybody else, and because of that I'm able to find the courage that I need to keep trying. So here's to you Dad; there's not a single day that goes by that I don't miss you. I love you, more than anybody could ever know.  

Nostalgia

Yes, yes. I know, man came 65 million years later than the last dinosaurs to roam the earth. 

Not in James Gurney's world. 

Tobias and Highland, some Dinotopia characters I made up a while ago. I still remember sitting in my elementary school library and pouring over the Dinotopia books over and over again. Because who doesn't want a dinosaur buddy and a fascinating world to explore with him? I know I do. 

Updates, really?

I figured I should probably update this after almost two months of not putting anything up here. 

So here are some sketches and other such art. 

I draw wolves in church. 

Once in a while, the wolf will dress in asian attire. Dinosaurs are there as well. 

Basketball game gestures. 

We've had a lot of birds hit our windows this spring. As sad as it is, it makes for a great drawing opportunity. This little guy was a Black Capped Chickadee. There was a large woodpecker, but the chickadee was less decayed so I decided to keep this blog PG and drew him instead. 

Gina, Stephanie, TJ and I headed up to the Zoo last weekend for a sketch adventure. 

The zoo is always trying to come up with new and exciting ways to get people to visit. This time around, they had giant owls riding wolves. 

No, that giraffe is not from the Bean and it was in fact a living animal. 

After that trip, I realized I had zero knowledge of big cat anatomy. So I studied big cats for several hours and then sketched this guy out.

 

My little niece! 

That's it for now!
