A Native Girl (from Ifugao) Riding a Wooden Scooter

This is not an unusual scene here in our country.  A lot of children here are still using old toys with no television especially the ones living at the provinces.  Some parents have tried to be resourceful and improvised by creating various toys or bicycles using recycled wood or plastics for their children.

I decided to draw this one simply because it will remind me of the simple things that I used to enjoy during my childhood.  We even enjoyed playing with opened cans and used slippers.

Wooden Bridge

I tried searching for another flower to paint on the net but i didn't find anything interesting for now.  Instead i bumped into another wooden bridge and i made my own version of it...







Isolated Sunflowers

Today is our 1st Wedding Anniversary with my wife Margie.  Somehow it inspired me to paint some flowers.  I just found a nice image of sunflowers at the net.  Here is a 40 minute painting version of it.  Enjoy...

Anatomy Practice Set 01

I believe that most artist have forgotten the most basic element of art and that is called Anatomy.  I have seen people getting very good with coloring and painting but still lack the basic knowledge of Anatomy.  Probably because human or animal anatomy requires precision.

In cartooning you could do anything you like with your character's form but implementing the correct anatomy on your characters is another story.  A lot of artists become easily frustrated by distortions  and incorrect positioning of body parts.  And by the way, that is one of the reason i have made this blog.  I have very poor knowledge of anatomy myself. 

With this blog i would be able to show you how to create characters with good anatomy by plainly self studying. And also, it would be much easier for me to track down my progress.

As for our reference, i prefer the works of Andrew Loomis.  Here are some works that i have started...
