Drawing stuff!

For this drawing, I traced my rough pencil lines over a light table using a technical pencil, with an 0.5 lead. Next, I used a sharpie marker to color the hair and outfit, to add contrast, and make the character stand out more. For the next step, I decided to add a floor design (just something from the top of my head) to give the character some 3-dimensional spacing. Afterwards, I used a grey Copic sketch marker to add some shading to the character. Lastly, I decided to manipulate the drawing on the computer, to give it some color, and the end result was this cool drawing.

This drawing starting off as a warm up exercise. I was just sketching a rough idea from my head that later turned into this drawing. I liked it so much that I decided to post it on my blog. Who knows, maybe I will redo this drawing in full color one day. 

Stay creative!

Afropunk

 

Original character design drawn in 2015 using a .05 technical pencil. The final drawing was completed using a sharpie marker and copic grey tone markers.

Pin-Up Girls.

 My first attempt at drawing pin-up art. The pose was drawn based on a photo that I saw a while back. The hair, skin, bikini designs and coloring were all created by me.

I decided to change the skin tones to show some diversity such as: African American, latina, middle eastern, caucasian, etc. because woman of beauty come in all shapes and colors.

Color practice. I wanted to design a character to go against a graffiti background. I was also practicing with textures to give the graffiti wall more of a realistic feel.

FISTS OF FURY!

One of my personal favorite drawings done in 2016. This started off as a black and white drawing, but I later decided to color and use a practice for coloring backgrounds. I'm really impressed with how the colors turned out.

She's packing some heat!

SAMURAI SHOWDOWN!

Samurai showdown!

He is a pencil drawing of a samurai sword fight. The original drawing was in black and white pencil, but I added these color tones to give the drawing more visual appeal. The color tones were created through my camera phone. I simply used the color filters and a few visual effects to achieve the final result.

Clobbering Time!

Here is another fun sketch that turned into a cool drawing. My computer is down, so I used some color filters and visual effects from my camera to give the drawing some personality. --Stay Creative!

KUNG FU GRIP!!!

Here's a fun drawing that started out as a simple sketch, but then turned into much more than expected.

But who would win?

 I just wanted to have a little fun sketching both Naruto and Ang from their popular animated series.  Who knows, I may turn this into a cool WIP for a vs. battle between the two. What do you think? Who would win between Ang or Naruto?

She's got attitude!

 More character design art from a previous project I worked on.

Some old and unused character designs.

Some old and unused character designs from a previous web-comic idea. I named this character Dave. The strange-looking guy on the bottom there is simply known as "Dark Rob". I had a lot of fun drawing & coloring them both.

BIGGEST MOUTH IN THE WEST!!!

Cartoon adaption of one of my favorite movie comedies. I had a lot of fun creating this illustration.

THE HERO CHICS!

I decided to create some alternate versions of my female superhero character

for my Latino, African American, and friends of other ethnicities out there.

Who knows, maybe I'll put them on t-shirts next.

The hero chic

My patriotic heroine. Started off as a rough sketch that I decided to color later on.

Full page color test!

 Here is my full color comic book page. As I mentioned in a previous post, this is a test page, to help me see what my comic book would look like in full color. I decided to post the original, inked, black and white page next to the color page, just to show what a difference color makes. In a previous post, I mentioned wanting my comic book to have the feel of an animated cartoon. This is partly because i've always seen my comic book in an animated form as opposed to the traditional  comic book color format. Nonetheless, I am pleased with how this 1st test page turned out, as this will allow me to improve on my colors and get better on future comic pages.  I look forward to showing you more full color comic pages in the future. I hope all is going well with your projects too--STAY CREATIVE!

See you around space cowboy!

Here is the completed version of my Cowboy Bebop poster. And I must say, that this was truly a labor of love. I enjoyed the process of making the poster so much, that I decided to post another step-by-step process of how I made the Cowboy Bebop poster in the future, so stay tuned.
