Noel Fielding Sketches (again)

Experimenting with graphite and marker combined. I think it looks quite nice together for sketches. It's really easy for the graphite to get messy quickly though since I'm working so dark. Yes. Noel Fielding was the subject matter.

Batman Sketches

Today I polled if I should sketch more Noel Fielding or Batman and consensus was Batman! Coincidentally, Dark Knight Rises will be released at midnight tonight in Japan! Woohoo! I'm seeing it on the 1st (Lady's Day) as ticket prices are insane here. Very excited!

These were copied off of a sketch of Cinar's as well as Burnham's Batman Inc. cover.

Noel Fielding Gouache

Went for a jog after painting the last quick watercolor and felt like doing another portrait of Noel. His face is so hard to capture for me. It's always a fun challenge to paint him. This one's in gouache.

Noel Fielding Watercolor

Quick portrait of Noel Fielding in watercolor. Painted in my sketchbook earlier today.

Elektra Sketches

Did some sketches from Greg Horne's covers of Elektra. Still dipping my toe into the pool of comics. I love how sexy Greg can make comic book women look.

Hand Studies

Been working on some studies. Decided to start with hands and then move into heads. I also threw in some Daredevil sketches because who doesn't love Daredevil. You might recognize them as copies from Yellow. I'm a massive Tim Sale fan. I'm not however a fan of grey prismamarker brush pens. Not even good for sketching I'm afraid.

Instagram Sketches

Oh hey. I got an instagram account. I'm honestly surprised my terrible AU android can handle it. Here are some doodles from this past month from my journal taken with instagram. My name on there is wastedwings. Follow me?

Sketches/ T-shirt Contest

Some stuff I've done in the past couple of days. I whipped up some quick t-shirt vectors for a contest held by the fashion blogger La Carmina. You can check out her blog here: http://www.lacarmina.com/ She's pretty awesome!

I also did some sketches while I was at school. I was invited to watch the art class. Had to get some sketching in myself. Couldn't let the kids have all the fun.

Noel Fielding Sketches

Have I lost my mind? I'm not quite sure. I've just started sketching Noel Fielding in my free time at work. He has such a striking face. I love it. I think I need to stop drawing Noel, but I am going to do some Mighty Boosh fan art in the near future (yay Golden Week!). 

Illustration WIP

I've been chatting with my friends about my portfolio and through them I came to the realization that I have very little pieces that show environments and "concept art" style work in my portfolio. I decided I'd fix that and start working with more detailed work. This week, it's my goal to work on these two pieces. Here are the sketches.

The Crow Speed Paint

Decided I would throw up a speed painting I did last night of my own Crow. I've loved O'Barr's work for many, many years and tomorrow is the anniversary of Lee's death. I've been really sick lately and haven't been able to work on much, but I wanted to put something up since this has been on my mind. Photoshop CS4. 2 hours.

Yokohama Train Sketches

2-5 minute sketches of sheer boredom while I'm stuck in transit on the trains in Yokohama. Typically on the Sotetsu Line.

Alice In Wonderland Shirt Design

Another shirt to add to the collection! This one will be going up on Redbubble alongside my 99 Red Balloons shirt! This was vectored in Adobe Illustrator and sketched and mocked-up in Adobe Photoshop (model photo by Threadless). I've always been in love with Alice (see: buttons) and now that I've gotten into making shirts, it's only fitting I honor my Lolita idol once more.

PS- PLEASE go vote on my 99 Red Balloons shirt on Designbyhumans. Link is here: http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/97575/

Portrait Sketches

I'm finally starting to work on the Mega64 portraits again. I decided not to do them traditionally and to just go ahead and do them in Photoshop and Painter like I did my last self- portrait and the Jhonen Vasquez portrait. Below are the finalized sketches. I still haven't flushed out the backgrounds yet, but I have some ideas.

Sketches!

Another sketch from Japan. I think I may start refining some of my sketches in the future into nice watercolor pieces. It may or may not happen. :P

Japan!

As you all know, I'm back in Japan. I'm here to stay until at least around April of 2012. Art has been on the back burner since I've been here as my job is an assistant language teacher. However, in my free time, I have been drawing. I don't own a scanner, but I finally had access to one today. Here are some of the things I've sketching. My brain is normally in a million places in one day so forgive the randomness of the subjects drawn. These were all drawn over the course of the past 3 weeks or so too. It's pretty much whenever I have my sketch book and have time to draw, I'm doing it. I'm hoping I can post here more frequently, but it really depends on how hectic things are. My job keeps me pretty busy and simple things like buying groceries takes me longer since I'm having to translate things from Japanese into English.

Colors!

Since thesis is over, I've had a little free time to mess around with the Nintendo DS homebrew program Colors! It is essentially a portable oekaki on your DS. Super cool needless to say, although I've been having some stylus jumping problems (which are apparent in the videos).

So I drew a barn owl (yay birds!) and one of my thesis characters today in about a half hour or so. Having a lot of fun messing with it. I wish it had a simple undo button though (especially due to the stylus jumps).
