I’m working on a new digital illustration that’s meant to incorporate some kind of action between foreground and background elements. Â This is just a quick exploratory sketch to see if this kind of composition could work for it. Â Things would obviously need to be shifted around a bit, but I think the basic camera angle will work.

A second attempt at some exploratory sketches for a future settlement on Mars. I stepped it back a bit and took inspiration from desert bunkers, remote stations and the like. I’m trying to think a little more realistically about what kind of stuff would really be taken to Mars. But to avoid everything looking totally utilitarian, I modified the greenhouse dome a bit, drawing on inspiration from the design of London’s city hall (file under: Inevitable Dash of Pretension).

Another sketch from an Art Center drawing workshop. Â I couldn’t really tell what to make of this pose. Â Is this stress? Â Contemplation? Â Telekinesis? Â If only his back weren’t turned!

Lacking other inspiration, I once again grabbed a magazine to find something to sketch. Â This is from a Chevron ad in the latest Wired. Â Still not sure how it’s intended to get me to buy more expensive gasoline…

Went down south to spend some three-day-weekend time with extended family — and (by further extension) their two labradors, Starsky & Hutch. Â This is the first time I’ve ever sat and drawn any animals from observation.
I figured sleeping dogs would stay still long enough to draw, but that wasn’t really the case (hence the various different angles). Â Actually, come to think of it, most models you’d have to pay to have them generate this many poses for you…

Another sketch based on a magazine photo. Â This was in honor of last night’s stand-up comedy challenge, an annual event put on by a friend of mine. Â Stand-up is a truly bizarre medium — and I have to respect those who are able to do it well.

Quick sketches of an Amazon warrior (the “sexy dame” kind, not this kind). Â These are actually little exploratory concepts for another NASA/JPL project, believe it or not.

From the 1908 Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog — a fascinating book, an old reprint of which we found at a weird little bookstore a couple years ago.
Illustrated here are just four of literally tens of thousands of items shown inside. Â The full catalog features countless more things you can hurt yourself with.

Drew these as part of the same assignment from Sketch #65. Â I’ll be working on the integrated digital version for class tomorrow. Â Stay tuned…

Another little bunch of icons I’m creating for work. Â These are connected to Sketch #44 — more spacenerd stuff.
