Sketching

I enjoy drawing creatures and this was one of my favorite quick sketches. I wanted to try something cute and small, and this thing happened. Back to sketching!

Lady Moth

I am still obsessed and inspired by bugs and I really enjoy learning about their life, characteristics, and survival skills.  Back to drawing some more!

Seclusion

I often like to escape somewhere far and new after a sitting of a few projects.

Where am I?

Buddy, I find my self lost at times too.

Plump

Yes I am alive but been on a sketch spree for the past month!
Here's something to give you an idea what I have been up to.

Emperor Penguin

Free!

Recently A friend of mines and I took a trip to Long Beach and walked to the end of one of those rock paths by the beach and enjoyed the relaxing sight. Just had to draw it up!

Free

And a sketch just for kicks!

Frontier Bay

Temple Valley

I had a lot of fun with this one. Wanted to go bit more organic in consideration I haven't had the chance to do many organic environments. So it was a nice change of pace from all the mechanical comps I had to do.

Insects!

Now for let's get up to date!

After frequently talking with Marcelo Vignali, he had inspired me to travel back through memory lane and find one of the several subjects I loved, insects! Nasty little critters that most people would could consider to be repulsive, but I find them to be elegant. Each one with their own unique way to live on this earth and their shapes contrast to their abilities to survive. Along with shape they have various of color languages at their disposal to attract prey and defend against predators. There are numerous of insects and they are fascinating creatures to discover!

Some Sketches

The Frozen Way

A few thumbs I did a bit back.

Cities and a Lake

Some drawing ideas I had lying around placed on paper.

City Characters

Playing with costumes these two characters so I can explore shapes for city environments.

Final Concepts

Dirigibles

I had the pleasure to meet Armand Serrano at Sony Imageworks in which he pushed me towards doing environment art. At the time I had little to no knowledge for environments so with his guidance and feed-back, I managed to pick up fairly quickly.
