Charmander and Charmeleon!

I've taken it upon myself to start drawing all 150 pokemon, although I didn't start with the first three, here are my first 2, Charmander and Charmeleon!  I've personalized them a little, the main reason is Charmeleon is one of my favorite pokemon.  I have my 'Elite 6"  and he is one of them, and since all my pokemon are named after my favorite cartoon characters and such, he is 'Ridley' after Samus' foe in the Metroid series.

  And since naturally my Charmeleon is one bad mojo, not only does his tail burn blue almost always, but has some sick battle scars and a sweet checkered bandana.  (The reason his tail burns blue is because of a pokedex entry that says when he basically feels the thrill and excitement of battle his tail burns blue.)

Hope you all enjoy

Future_Pig!

So, one fo my good friends little brothers likes to draw, and he draws a lot of really cool conceptual ideas.  Here is one he had, and since I LOVE to draw pigs.  I took this one and had fun with it and took a little artistic liberty.

The picture below is the original sketch.  I'm starting to draw a lot more on loose paper and trying to draw bigger. 
This one below is his original color scheme.  I changed it when i felt is didn't look as strong.

I also feel there are a couple weak points.  Where I struggle frequently.  on the farside of the character.  I really tried to fix it, but just goes to show I have a lot of room for improvement.


enjoy nonetheless!

Zelda- Link In Action!

Just pulled this one out.  I really like it overall, but have noticed some things that don't make it bad, but could have made it stronger.  mainly I think the silhouette.  but other than that I feel like I pushed myself a little bit and hope that you all enjoy it.

Earthbound! Jeff-Tessie

SO, this is supposed to be pretty rough.  But, I will say, I don't really like it.  The only reason I'm posting it is because I owe Chris Jimenez http://chris-jimenez.blogspot.com/ a drawing a week.  haha.

I cleaned some stuff up, and then threw in some variations.  from top to bottom:
full color
threw greyscale into the trees, and then the original just cleaned up.

woman

enjoy.

Jason....Er, Captain America

  I've never felt good about posting pictures of people, but I figure as long as i'm improving, if it doesn't look like them now or if just doesn't look good in general, eventually it will.  Then, I'll draw another one if i feel i owe it to them.

  Yes, He is holding a spatula colored red, white, and blue.  Because in actuality This is not the Captain America we all know and love.  It is actually my brother.  For Christmas he got an awesome sweatshirt.  He was hilarious acting like Captain America.
   Since he's an all-star chef (he works at a five-star restaurant in Napa Valley, California as the head Pastry chef,) and he got that sweatshirt for Christmas, i decided to specialize the picture a little bit.

Hope you all enjoy.  Especially you Jason!

X-Men sketches

Street Fighter Sketches!! ... and some other stuff!

  These are mostly some sketches that I have done at work over the past several days.  Street Fighter has been on my mind recently.  don't know why.  I'm not a super huge fan, but the have character!

  These come straight out of my sketchbook and or notepad from work haha.  So, nothing is all too great, there is a lot of stuff that's pretty wonky, but the way I think of my
sketchbook, is a place I draw to figure stuff out, so I'm scribbling all over the place, just trying to figure stuff out.  trying over and over again to understand what I've been studying or practicing the same thing again asking myself, why doesn't it look right, i identify what i feel it is then try again and again until i figure out what it was.  

  I hope you enjoy these.  I had fun drawing a lot of them.  I hope to keep improving.  stay tune!

Jinpei-The Swallow_Gatchaman!

For days I have been drawing action poses for this guy, and just haven't been able to get one that I like.  So once again I have reverted to my comfort zone and just drew him standing in blank space.

Well anyways.  Here' Jinpei-The Swallow from Gatchaman.
Hope you all enjoy it.

self_sketch

just a little sketch I did, I wanted to add more to it, but that'll be a while.... if ever.  haha
hope you enjoy.

raphael

okay, so I'm a day late for my raph picture, but here it is.  and along with it I have my final, revised donatello.  changed a couple things but I hope you enjoy.

Donatello! and He-Man!

Here you go TJ!  it's late but I got it in.  hope you enjoy.  because yours was awesome.  I really do think it's stellar.

A pic of Donnie.  and He-man.  One of my brothers drew a picture of He-man running into battle.  So, I took his idea and ran with it, or in He-man's case, pranced into it like a ballerina. (yes, Idid it on purpose."  haha.

All in all kinda excited about both pictures.  neither are perfect.  but I can see a lot of improvement in my artwork in just a couple of months.  so to say the least I am pleased.

enjoy!

Chrono Trigger Frog and more!

  I haven't had internet for several weeks now, and ironically it's when I've been drawing the most so I haven't been able to post like i have wanted to.  Obviously, this isn't everything, however it's some of the stuff I'm more proud of, and there are several in here that I am extremely proud of.  I have to say however, I am extremely grateful to the Lord in his helping me improve so quickly, I can feel myself improving really fast, so I hope it continues.
  Not to mention, I have had a blast drawing some of these pics!
  Quick blurbs about the drawings,
  1. Frog, Chrono Trigger:  yes, I understand it repeats itself, originally I drew it on the same page as the other chrono trigger drawings, but liked it so much I made it it's own copy, and am willing to sell prints to those who care to buy them.
  2. Flying Pig:  yes, yes I did.  to those whom are asking "is that a flying pig?" yes, yes it is. Furthermore, to those who continue asking "and is he spitting a blue fireball???"  Yes to that too my friends. 
       Meet your new friend.  a symbol that dreams can come true.  "When pigs fly... and or shoot blue fireballs out of their mouth."  to that I answer "BEHOLD! For he does both!"
  3.  Moogles, Final fantasy:  One of my childhood friends is getting married this upcoming weekend and I wished to do something for him and his soon to be wife.  They are both final fantasy fans, and so i drew this for them.
  4.  Leonardo, TMNT.  nuff said
  5.  refer to 1.  other than that, all Chrono Trigger stuff.
  6.  more Chrono Trigger sketches
  7-9.  sketches and such, take from them what you will.  and yes, pigs have been on my mind recently.
  10.  Poo, Earthbound: quick little piece I threw together, not my best, there's a lot i could pick at, but eh, whatever.

there I hope you all enjoy what I have and i will most likely be posting more relatively soon.  Enjoy!

link... AGAIN!

so here's a picture I drew last night. I had fun with it. I know I know. it's link again, and he IS still only standing, but i thought it fun, because of the looseness of it, and I had a lot of fun drawing it. I want to sell prints of it (8 1/2 x 11.) if there is any one out there that would like it, send me an email/message. I'll email the details. Let me know which color you want with it.

He-Man!

one of my brothers did a drawing of his favorite cartoon character. He-Man, so the bottom is his picture and some notes I gave him to keep in mind when he draws another picture. and then I did my take on it. hope you all like it. although looking at it again right now i think one of his legs is too short... oh well

Link- The Legend of Zelda

so I wanted to draw a picture for a friend to say thank you, and he loves Link. However I must say, with Link being something that i love I have to admit that drawing this was probably more for me than for him. haha. but i hope that the two of you that visit my blog, (aside from TJ who was there drawing this with me the whole way through. Credit being given where it's due, I wouldn't have been able to do it without him. It would have looked far junkier) enjoy this legendary picture of a legendary warrior whos games and skills are the stuff of legend!

pity post

here we are. just some random junk.

abbey- harry potter

i picture long due to someone. there are a couple things i see i need to fix. we'll see if i ever get to it. you can even compare the two. I did the first one over a year and a half ago. i would say there has been quite the bit of improvement.
