Sketchbook Month Day 7

I took one of the van Gogh sketches from my sketchbook and inked him with a micron pen.

I'm going to take him into Illustrator and add some flat color.

Sketchbook Month Day 4

Dr. Suess revisited.
I went back and inked the sketch that I did on the good doctors birthday.

It was inked with a brand new Pigma brush pen.
I can't say I recommend them.
The brush is already going bad.

I'll have to go back to learning to control a real brush with ink.

After inking I went in and added some flat color with Photoshop.

Sketchbook Month Day 3

Day 3 of sketchbook month.
Space cats, Van Gogh, and assorted heads.

Sketchbook Month Day 2

Today's sketches.

Today is Doctor Seuss' Birthday.
I was subbing at a high school so I didn't have any reference to draw from so I decided to draw a cat in a hat holding a fish in a bowl and thing 1 and thing 2.
Now that I am home I can look up some reference to influence the inking.

I also did some more sketches of Vincent van Gogh.

Sketchbook Month Day 1

Some sketches of Vincent van Gogh for a personal project.

Vespa Santa

He's done and on his way To Miami for a well deserved vacation.

Thanks to those who had suggestions for improvement.

As you can see I added the candy cane guard rail to the foreground to add a little bit of depth. 

And I drew up my own penguin to go along for the ride.

The day after Christmas

This is a work in progress.
It started out with this sketch from my sketchbook.

An old guy on a vespa because I was searching for a motorcycle image on the web for a client drawing and some vespa images came up.

This is where I am at so far...

Since it's winter and Xmas time I decided to portray the guy as Santa.
I didn't want to do Santa in his work clothes, he doesn't deliver toys on a vespa after all, so I put him in his street clothes.
Then I decided that he would be headed for a well deserved vacation, thus the Dec 26th calendar page and Miami sign.
I'm working on the background now.
You can see that I have some snow drifts back there.
I'm thinking that I'll have to add something in the far background to breakup the blue sky.
I might put his workshop back there.
I think I may add a trailer loaded with luggage being pulled behind the vespa to add to the going on vacation feel.
Let me know what you all think of the image so far.
I'm looking for comments on color, contrast, detail, does anything look "off," that kind of thing.
