Getting the day started

Part of what gets me going for the day is the warmup sketches. Why are they important? For a couple of reasons:

1. Get all the BAD stuff out
I read somewhere that you have 10,000 BAD drawings in you... after that, you start churning out some good ones. This is kind what it's like for me in the morning, or just before I get to the heavy work. I have to let my brain filter out the bad stuf, because I often go for a pose or a face or something, and it looks like I drew it in the 3rd grade. Sometimes the drawing is on 4th grade level. But anyway, I do this for about 45 minutes or so. Sometimes, I stretch it to 90 minutes... then I'm ready for anything!

2. Sets the tone for the day
When you warm up, you kind of feel good about what you're doing. At least, that's how I feel. If I go straight to something, I get frustrated and I get bored. After I've stuck with the warm up, loosening up my hands and clearing the fog from my brain, the rest of the day is a little easier. 9 times out of ten, the day won't be filled with self loathing, and a pile of crumpled paper (this works for digital art too, by the way).

Anyway, hope that helps! It helps me.

Thanks for viewing!

Warmin up some mo

This one is done with Sketchbook Pro and the Cintiq (my FAVORITE tool and program). This is a panel for my upcoming comic... stay tuned!

Morning Warmups

Nothing like getting the day started with some warmup sketches. I don't know why I don't do these more often, they really help set up a nice tone for my workday.

These were done in Sketchbook Pro with a Cintiq... enjoy!

Batsy

5 DAYS OF AWESOME DAY 5

Alright! Last day of the 5 DAYS OF AWESOME Sketch Challenge. Technically, this is late, but I had a family day yesterday. You know how it is! Anyways, thanks for the comments and faves... I really appreciate you guys sticking around and watching. Warms my heart  

This piece is about a boy who happens to stumble upon an alien race. They threaten to blow up the planet... unless he coughs up chocolate everyday to keep them cool. Don't know what sparked that... but it was fun to draw. I'm actually going to do a mini-web comic based on this, but it'll be more about the boy and that little alien-dude. 

Thanks again guys!!! Appreciate the love!!!

5 DAYS OF AWESOME DAY 4

Hey people! This post is going up a little late, sorry for that. The reason being is we had this big warehouse sale at my job, and it was an all day thing. Finally got the time to sketch something out!

This one is a little random. I wanted to draw a girl, and it was kind of not coming out like I wanted. So i decided to make it a little more fun, by adding a weird headband and a creature rocking a hat, for no reason at all. It was just fun to draw.

Anyways, I'll have something real dope tomorrow... stay tuned! And be sure to check out Tanoshiboy's posts Here...

5 DAYS OF AWESOME DAY 3

Day 3 of 5 DAYS OF AWESOME!!!

Here's a pick of Batman, looking extremely non-threatening. Harley and Mista J have a good laugh, cuz he's trying to look all touh and his belt happens to be just a tad too big for him.

This one was really quick, but really fun to draw. I think i'll flesh this one out a bit more... make it look really dope!

Thanks for watching!!!

5 DAYS OF AWESOME: DAY 2

Here it is, sketch number 2 in the 5 Day challenge. This one is titled "Sorry Mama", because the kid got his terrible, stupid wish of becoming a zombie, because he thought they were cool. Then he ate his mom. Dark, and twisted, yes. But fun to draw!!
