How to Use a Sunny Day

  I ventured out to do some location sketching a few days back, in the neighborhoods around Hillsboro. I liked the accuracy of this sketch, so I toned it in Photoshop.

Valiant Knight Sketch

*right click and open link in new tab to see image at larger size*

  He has fought countless battles, and seen much of life. Forged through many years of struggle, his sword his only equal, this knight embarks on one final quest--to take hold of an unending legacy, seeking true renown through one more act of bravery.
  This is a second pass of a sketch I did last art night with my friends. The first sketch had potential, so I slapped another piece of paper over it a few days back, and resketched the whole thing with the design changes I had in mind. I like to imagine his mustache bouncing up and down and he speaks--man that would be distracting!

Justin Chan Study Sketches!

*right click and open link in new tab to see image at larger size*

   Hey all, I am in the transition period between moving from my old apartment and into the new one--so I thought I would take this chance to start back up on some posting! I recently have been admiring some great designs by the talented artist, Justin Chan! He has an impressive ability to convey believable form on even the most ridiculous and stylized sketches--and his color sense is first class. These are a couple study sketches I did of his paintings. Hope you enjoy this art as much as I did!
