Today is the Summer Superhero Art Show here at Fox TV Animation. As usual, I’m a participant. Aside from that, though, there are a lot of amazing pieces in this one. For the first time, I’m actually bidding for a few, one of them being a “Watchmen”/”Family Guy” piece by Mick Cassidy that I probably won’t get because I suspect the bidding competition for it will be fierce. My submission… Read More »Summer Superhero Art Show submission

Despite the obviously unfinished look of this painting, I am happy with the way it turned out. The painting is of a photograph by DeviantArt user hakanphotography, titled “Little Miss Broken 21,” which you can find here. I chose it for its well-dressed subject (girl who likes to draw girls here!), and the way the light plays off the woman’s shoulder and the leaves in the background – actually, there… Read More »Unfinished: Little Miss Broken 21

Last month, I got back in the figure drawing game after three years of absence from either classes or sessions. Gotta hand it to Fox TV Animation for holding sessions every other Wednesday. They’re really a lot of fun to attend. Two hours of figure drawing in the “American Dad” conference room minus registration fees and the like. What could be better? The sketches I’ve done so far from these… Read More »Figure sketches

This morning at work was slow, as most of it was spent waiting for Peter Shin, one of the supervising directors on “Family Guy,” to prepare the work that I’m currently doing for his show. The wait wasn’t boring, though, as I used it to fool around on Tegaki E. The result? A little something for kirayumi, a Livejournal community co-modded by yours truly for Kira and Yumichika of “Bleach.”… Read More »KiraYumi tegaki

It’s late, so I’m going to keep this short. The drawing above is a birthday present for my friend Jeremy Polgar. The characters depicted are ones that appeared in a flyer he made to advertise his birthday party. Originally, I wanted to color this, but as I said in my last post, I’m just not feeling it with the colors right now. Happy belated birthday, Jeremy!

Does anyone here have an easy time drawing people kissing? Because I don’t, and it’s really sad. And this drawing? Well, it’s the first time I’ve ever drawn people kissing in a more serious and professional manner, so forgive me if this thing is made of fail. As Charles Kettering once said, “One fails forward toward success.” I’ll get it right someday. This drawing is my second submission for Draw… Read More »Yoko x Yoko

My friends Kalia Cheng and Matt Bordenave like to participate in these drawing challenges dubbed the Draw Offs, where the resulting artwork must relate to a theme chosen for that particular Draw Off. This is my first time participating in the challenge. The theme this time around is Gainax, chosen by yours truly. For my submission, we have Nia Teppelin from “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann,” an anime series that I… Read More »Draw Off #16: Gainax

On Sunday, March 1, I received news that “David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury” won the Audience Award for Best Animated film at the Beverly Hills Shorts Festival. Being a fan of the film, I was ecstatic to hear this, and felt the muses kicking in for some congratulatory fanart. So here’s to the guys of Hammerfist Productions on their awesome win! On another note, no pencils or pens were used… Read More »"Hammerfist" emerges victorious!

OHAY GUYS, YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PEN TOOL!? You know, that tool that a large population of newbie Photoshoppers seem to have nightmares over!? The one whose twin tweaking thingamajigs that pop up when you click an anchor point make you want to slit your wrists and gouge your eyes out!? Well, for the first time ever, I successfully utilized that baby, and, boy, was it a doozy! Two days.… Read More »CLAMP fare
