Venerable Vegetables

I believe every vegetable has it's own inherent personality.

Fairy

Another Sketch. This one I scanned and printed out on my inkjet printer (accidentally at low quality, hence the dots at the shaded areas) that I tried inking with a brush pen. Still have a lot to learn about head shape and the location of a woman's featers on her head. Must look at Andrew Loomis more.

Tiny Soldier with Big Heart

In researching old engraving and pen stroke techniques for a (losing) T-shirt design entry for Corporate Challenge (turns out bold, simple graphics look better on T-shirts, at least in the eyes of this committee), I tried finishing some other sketches (including this one) in the same manner. I'm always trying to get better at drawing people, and after drawing this soldier, I got fed up with always having to draw from my mind (as opposed to drawing from a reference), so I decided to put my thumb (which I could look at) under him and a beer bottle cap (not that one was lying around or anything) behind him. And that is how these two worlds of scale came to be in the same place.

Presenter

Like many drawings I do, this one was an old pencil sketch, that I later came across and decided to take a little further. In this instance I had just been learning about brush pens (researching Michael Lark, artist for the Daredevil comic). This was one of my first attempts at using a brush pen. Fun!
