My Original Crate

I been talking with a fellow artist about the some stuffs like a possible way to improve my drawing and coloring style.  The artist name is Joel Ray Pellerin.  He greatly expressed about visualizing my illustrations based on planes and in 3D.

Here is what I just draw when I came home...

Cutiest Lovable Dogs

I had been hooked up with freelancing works these past few months.  A couple of months ago, a friend suggested for me to put up my own Gig at Fiverr.com.  I got to post my own and I even got a few orders.:)  I entitled it with "I will draw a cartoon version of your Favourite Pet for $5".

Here are the some of the Cute Dogs that I was able to create just recently...

Year 2013

Hi Guys!  It's has been a long time since I last posted here.

I have been very busy with other stuffs.  But now, it's time for me to have fun with my blog again.  You shall see more updates in here from time to time :).

Here is an illustration about my anticipation for the Year 2013.  Welcome  to the Year 2013 and advance Happy New Year to all of you!

Another Style

I really enjoy changing my illustration style from time to time to maintain versatility.  The sample below is a rough sketch portraying a curious emotion with a brave look.

What are you looking at?

I was trying to play with reactions.  This one shows a little of it I believe.  It a mixture of being surprised and curious at the same time but not scared.

Doggie Smile

Dogs are indeed man's best friend.  We see them all over the place.  I had fun creating this one..

I Love You

Here is another work in progress...  This is about two couples in the form of cars kissing each other...:)

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.

Anatomy Practice Set 2

I'm working on my anatomy again...  Just simple stuff...  I will be adding more from time to time...

 

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...

Shocked Blonde Woman

I've been trying to come up with my own version of 3D Cartoon...  Here is a simple piece i had just created...

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...

Wooden House (Bahay Kubo) at the Center of Beach

Some of us has this fantasy of living in an isolated place wherein we could be free from distractions, work, stress, pollution and many other individual reasons we may have.  It could be a wooden house at the center of a beach, which could only be reach through a secret entrance...

And just to give you a view of that perfect place.  Here is something i painted...
