More robotics

Please look down for my earlier today as well :)

I'd like to paint this one guard dog like one. I think some form of orange would suit it.















































I know I should remain detached from my work, but I like this speedy guy too :P


























I'm fond of the robot with the sword, even if he is somewhat unbalanced.

Some robots


In the top 3 on the left I had been encouraged to add more character and tried to give the robots more expression, I quickly gave that up though :P Clearly however, as an animator, one typically desires to express emotion with whatever one animates and a less sterile and inhuman design would be in order.


The blue one is the only one in this update in my own ink. A ball point pen so crude this one was the only one worth showing :P My friend Ed has the most amazing pens, the ink of which I almost drink. Heh I used one of his fine pens for most of these.


Oddly, this is the first page I drew and it's last. The robot in marker was something Bobby Chiu drew for me extrapolating from the 3 designs I had at the top of the page (the only ones at the time)

The paper bag princess



My sibling asked me to draw this and lo I did! I have so much to do this summer and I use my time so badly. I really should focus on my art with stuff like this.

Daily Sketchgroup at Conceptart.org 1085


Today I did a daily sketch group exercise. The idea is to do something to a sentence long concept, in this case "Jet packers fly amidst mist shrouded art-deco building tops" in about an hour.
Here is what I came up with, it isn't portfolio worthy but I'm very happy to do some practice with a time limit like this. I only put in one rocket packer but no one cares I'm pretty sure.

Where are those robots I promised? They're around and I'll get them up "soon". I never expected to be so interested in drawing robots but I really like it. Its funny how these things can come out of the blue. I mean, I really didn't see it coming.

Robot Sketchings

My buddies from school and I have a little ritual, you see. Once more more a month we meetup downtown like some secret society. We draw a lot and drink, just like secret societies are wont to do. Its a lot of fun. Anyways this last time we met up with admirable Bobby Chiu, who is a great artist and all around friendly guy totally willing to spend some time and teach a thing or two, divulging little valauble nuggets of artistic wisdom like halloween candy that doesn't rot your teeth. Check out his website here by the way.

Amongst all the sketching I drew these robot things up. Its a lot of fun actually. I'll post them when I get more time and I figure out how to use thumbnails....
