Couple

Here is a new piece! I sketched it in Photoshop and did the line art in Manga Studio to give me more control on the smoothness of the lines. It was a combination of both programs to make this piece. Enjoy and any input is welcomed. I will revisit this piece later on to improve it.

Tomato - The last drawing of 2013

This was the last drawing I did in 2013! This year I will post more art work!

Sea creatures

Just doing some sea creatures. Felt wonderful to do some doodling for fun.

WIP Mermaid

Here is an image that I have been working on. It still needs work. I hope to be able to take it further than any other piece that I have made before.

Bob

I drew this portrait of my co-worker that is retiring at the end of this month. I did it on valuer paper with black soft pastel, white and black conte and charcoal. I am rusty in drawing portraits, but I am glad that both he and his wife liked it.

Flower

This is another piece I worked on using the program, sketch book pro, that was fun to use, it felt very intuitive.

Fish doodle

Woo hoo!!! Feels good to be able to do some art work! Haven't been able to for a while, but I am taking advantage of my weekends now to work on improving my artistic skills. I've been artistically pent up. For this piece it started on a tablet using a program called sketch book pro, than I brought it into Photoshop to finish it. It was my first time using a tablet that was touch sensitive and I LIKED IT!!! Instead of having a wacom tablet on the side, it was pretty cool to draw right on the screen. I really got some catching up to do with technology. :D

I will post more artwork later. This was a good start. Still have to improve more.

More Chibi's

Did some doodling this weekend. Feels good to be doing artsy stuff again. :D

Clown!!!

Here are some quick sketches of a little clown I plan to animate traditionally with pencil and paper!!

Panda

Here is quick rough sketch in Photoshop of a Panda!

Unfinished Figure Drawing

It has been a while since I have posted anything hand drawn. I went to a figure drawing workshop with my good friends this weekend. This is the only drawing that I liked because it took me a while to warm up to drawing again. I used a black pen to draw this. By using a pen I had to think more of where my lines were going to go. Unlike a pencil you can't erase pen, as you can see, she has two belly buttons. I didn't know whether to erase it in Photoshop or leave it be!?

The model was really good at posing. She had so many dynamic posses that I wanted to take pictures, but that is NOT allowed, that would of been good references! I only wish it wouldn't of taken me such a long time to warm up!!!!

My Last Day at Columbia

These were taken back in August on my last day of work @ Columbia. I got very occupied and did not have a chance to post them sooner, but it was a very good last day on the job day. These are fellow colleagues and friends. Jim Rohn and Ron Fleischer.

Amazon?

Woo! Haven't posted anything in such a long time. I'm going to try to post again. This is just a quick sketch done in Photoshop really early in the morning!!! 3:09!!! I have a night job that wears me out so I spend most of my mornings sleeping, but I'm going to keep on creating.

Pilates Chibi Updated

Optimistic

This is how I am feeling today. :) I rather enjoyed this one, it naturally flowed as I drew it.
I like leaving quick drawings in the rough sometimes.

Tlaloc Mask with Jug

This is one of my favorite pieces that I modeled a whiles back without the jug for my older brother Rosendo Rosas, that owns his own jewelry business. There are more models that I need and want to texture, but I will tackle this one first.

If you click on his lick, click gallery, an look through the images, you will see the modifications that he did for the jewelry piece. ENJOY!!!!!

Flirty Theif Update

I already have her final lined and decided to do a silhouette test and she almost passed. I am going to go do some fixes than finish her. :)

Quick Sketches Pilates and Flirty Thief

I like making chibi characters of people I know or that make an impression on me. When it makes them laugh it makes it even funner to do :D This first quick sketch I did about a week ago, but didn't post it. I am going to have to final line it because I showed it to the Pilates teacher and she asked for a print. She had a good laugh!

This second quick sketch I did today. I came to realize as I was sketching it that this is a pose that I have tried to draw but never got it to a point where I was happy with, but this one I really like and I am going to finish this one. :D

Mission for the rest of July

I was looking back at some things that I have modeled and they are not textured because they were designs for my brother and I didn't have time, but now I do and they are great models for my portfolio. I think for the rest of July I am going to texture what I can along with making some corrections to them if time permits.

Quick Sketch Manga Style Guy

Well today I had fun. From concept to almost done (I'm going to do something with the background) a manga style guy. Yes I am highly influence by manga and anime. This is going to be for a friend's Birthday card in Oct. Yeah quite a ways from now, but better to start now than to do it last min. :) I sketched it out in Photoshop, than took that image into Manga Studio, did final lines and added some tones. Took it back into Photoshop and almost finished it.

Quick Sketch Bears and Bird

Well today's sketches didn't come out so well. I like the bird better than the bears but they need a lot of work.

Quick Sketch Raccoon #2

Today's quick sketch is another Raccoon. This little guy is just lazying around watching some TV.

Quick Sketch Male Dancer

Today's quick sketch. It has already been pointed out to me that he needs a longer torso and he has girly arms, but hey I don't draw that many males so I am proud of it and I will fix it if I can or the next one I sketch I will try to get more of the proper male physic. He certainly need bigger hands. :D One can always improve! ;)

Quick Sketch Pilates

I've been going to Pilates and last night the teacher was super tough bc we have no class on Mon, due to 4th of July, so she had us do a tougher work out. I think I might of been frowning all through out the workout.

Quick Sketch Raccoon

Feeling really motivated to sketch this week. Here is another quick digital sketch.

Quick Sketch Dancers

Decided to do some quick sketching today. There are obvious proportions issues but it's a start. I've been watching a show called, So You Think You Can Dance, and I love to see what people are capable of doing with their bodies, how they move their bodies to express certain moods and the fluidity of it. :)

TOWING!!!

Alright!!! I was given permission to use this on my portfolio. I worked on the logo design that they us in the begging and end of the project called TOWING, including it was incorporated into the Sand Animation. It was for a non for profit organization. Here is the link:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/towing/towing?play=1&ref=search

Well they changed it so I will say that it was the logo that was incorporated into the Sand Animation at the end. No longer at the start or end.

Sneak Peek #2

Here is another sneak peek at another character in the story, but he is not quite the design that I want him to be but he is getting there. :) Stay tuned for more!!!

Sneak Peek #1

I've been working on a story for a while, I have the story boards which I am improving upon. The story is straight forward. It's a project that I am going to animate in Flash. Here is a sneak peek, just a CU for now. Hopefully I will have it done before the Summer or year ends. It will be approximately a 1-2 min short.

Spanish Princess

I have not posted anything in a while. This is an illustration that I did using a program called Manga Studio. It's mostly used for making comics or manga. To my co-worker it gave her the feel of a Spanish Princess that is off to a quest. LOL, so she has been dubbed Spanish Princess.
