Sketchbook April '13

Only one sketch worth posting this month, but I really like this one.

Sketchbook March '13

So I've heard artists say a sketchbook should be full of really rough sketches and it's not a place to include more finished works, which you could accuse me of doing with mine.  I draw the way I draw and that's how I've always done it.  I try to be more loose and disposable with concepts and I admire those that are, but I simply can't do it.   I don't know why, I'm just slow and deliberate, I draw it in my head first.  I marvel at those that can think on the paper and quickly whittle an idea down to it's ideal form through quick, physical iterations.  Maybe I just need to force myself to do that more often...I don't know, any insight out there?

Happy Easter!

Blue Ocean Bob

Last summer I spent many late nights illustrating a book that has just been released called "The Adventures of Blue Ocean Bob: A Journey Begins."  It was a lot of work but I'm happy with the results.  The following are a few of my personal favorites, but the book itself has over 40 pictures.  You can find out more here, or buy it here.

I found a little time to sketch last month, but not much.  We've been working hard to finish Disney Infinity:

3D Dino

My sketch on the left, Shane's model on the right.

How cool is this?!  My friend and Zbrush extraordinaire, Shane Olson did a digital sculpt based on my dino sketch from the previous post and it turned out crazy awesome!  Check out this post from his blog to watch a time lapse video of him building it.
