Attack of the Crazy Models

Hey Friends, how is the weekend going for you?
Anything exciting?
My weekend has been super laided back and chill (which is the way i like it!)
Watched one of my favorite movies, Hook!
It's been so long! i love that movie! "Rufio Rufio Ruuuufiiiiiioooo!"

The drawing today is Number 172 out Volume 2 of my Character Sketchbook.
If you are new to the site and don't know what the Character Sketchbook is, Click Here to read up on it...
it's one of my all time favorite projects.
And if you do know about it...
I have a question for you.
How many of you would be interested in getting the Character Sketchbook if i find a publisher?
I thought it would be cool project to publish because i think it shows anyone can learn how to draw,
it just takes hard work and practice. ;)

Oh, on another note, i had a really funny dream last night involving a supermodel and an adventure on a resort island! haah i might have to post it ;) haha

Well, i hope you like the drawing. It's kinda fun/crazy ;)

Pen & Ink - 192

Good morning all.
Don't you just love mid week/end of the week?
I sure do.
Almost the 4th of July! woot woot
My friends Tim and Deanda (Luvbeat) are flying here on the 4th.
i'm super excited!
Should be quite a great time.

Well, this drawing i did a little bit back.
i hope you like it.
It's all pen and ink.

Also i've been learning some new tricks...
so hopefully i will have a new video for you all soon. :)

the Count Down

Happy Sunday night!
Well my friends, was it just me or did this weekend crank like lightning?
For some reason, i was in a clothes designing mood all weekend,
so needless to say, i have croquis scattered all over the room.
The next few days are going to be hectic.
It's the few day count down,
cause I'm flying out to Texas Wednesday!
It's going to be really fun.
I just have a lot to figure out in the next few days.

The Drawing today is of Lily Cole From my Character Sketchbook.
I hope you like it! :)

Character Sketchbook 163

Well, it's lovely just sitting with friends right now listening to a Fred Astaire album,
and everyone is quietly working and enjoying each other's company.
The Character Sketchbook drawing today is of Sophie.
i thought is only fitting with her being here and all.
i looked through her modeling portfolio tonight for the first time.
i was completely blown away!
All the shots were incredible!
It was really fun to see.
if you haven't checked out her blog, please check it out; its amazing!
Click here to see it!
Hope you all are doing wonderful.

OH Sophie Just Entered the Twitter world!!

Hide N Seek

When was the last time you all played Hide & Seek?
This image reminds me of playing that game.
How was your day?
Mine was great, drawing grid suit Croquis (Fashion sketchs) all day.
Got like 25-30 drawn now.
i decided to quit for the night when my eyes started to hurt and get all hazy... haha

The picture today is from Volume 2 of my Character Sketchbook.
The original picture is of Swedish model Mona Johannesson.
I love the picture, i feel like the image captures Intimacy & Love perfectly.
At least, whenever i think about love, that image pops into my head, not sure why.
It's just so playful.
I'm not sure if my picture has that same feeling, but i sure tried... haha.
Well, i hope you all are doing wonderful, and hope you like the drawing :)

Character Sketchbook 174

Hey guys~! How are you all doing today?
It's been a great Saturday.
Went to the beach with my brother and my friends Ryan and Alice and filmed some video.
Now, we are just sitting eating pizza(my favorite) and watching Arrested Development(my favorite)!

Hope you like drawing #174 from the Character Sketchbook.
i did it a year ago. It's kinda crazy; layered it with different papers.
So trippy, huh? :)

Lily & Her Chair

Wow, today was really fun!
i started hearing back and seeing picture from a lot of the people who ordered the Girl in Glasses Tee.
Finding people wearing the shirt today was... to quote Geri Hirsch "kind of like Where's Waldo!"
It was really fun.
If your shirt arrives, if you could send me a picture of you sporting it, that would be amazing!
It's so much fun seeing you all sporting the shirt! Thanks again so much! ;)

The drawing for tonight i did 2 Thanksgivings ago.
It's of Lily Cole sitting on a chair.
I really like how it turned out, kinda reminds me of being in a dream.
You know how sometimes in dreams objects size and scale don't really line up with reality.
This picture reminds me of that! hah

The 144th Drawing in the SKetchbook

Well my friends, it's only the first day of the week and i'm yawning pretty hard right now.
I'm going into work tomorrow,
but after that, i am going to try to do a few new drawings for you all this week.
The drawing i'm posting tonight is of model Lily Cole.
I drew these two black and whites of her in the character sketchbook
that i really like how they turned out.
i think i will post it's counter part soon!
i hope you all are having a wonderful night.
:)

Looking Back

Well, my friends, today was a good day of getting organized.
I cleaned my Studio! You should see it; it's all shiny and clean.
I thought of a little concept for a short film, if i ever get time, i want to make it.
The drawing tonight is out of Volume 2 of my Character Sketchbook.
For some reason, i really like how it turned out
It's kinda simple but the lines in it just seem right. :)
i hope you like it!
and i hope you all are having a great night or day (depending on where you are ;)

Lily Cole Backstage 131

All the people who have a bad case of the Mondays, raise your hand...
For those who can't see me, i'm raising my hand... hahah
Well, at least it's down and out of the way.
i think this week is going to be a long, brutal one,
which, on a good note, means i should have some good dreams this week.
If i have any good dreams, i will type them up and post it for yawl.

The drawing today is from my Character Sketchbook.
The image i drew was of Lily Cole Back Stage at, I believe, a Dior show, but I can't remember.
i like the raw rush of the scene.
i hope you all like it! :)

The Character Sketchbook 159

Wow! Thank you everyone for your amazing comments; really means alot.
It definitely was a long day for me, so that was perfect encouragement throughout the day.
I thought i would post one of my favorite pages from my Character Sketchbook Series.
For some reason this was one of the hardest pictures for me to draw.
But i think that is what makes it my favorite!
It's fun how that works, huh?
I have a big day tomorrow, shipping out all these print orders,
so don't worry for you that ordered, they're all going out tomorrow! :)
i have to say, the new prints look really cool. i was so excited when i saw them.

Long Hair and Red Lips Page 168

Morning morning!
The drawing today is one of my favorites out of Volume 2 in my Character Sketchbook.
i think it's a Chanel ad, and it's of Gemma Ward.
i really like the peaceful expression.
i hope your like it!
Hope you're having a great day!

Oh P.S. i've been trying to finish up Sophie and my kid's book.
My friend, Jason, hand wrote all the text in the book, and it looks amazing.
He ended up making a font out of his handwritting which is a free download on his blog
click here to check it out. It's my new favorite font! :)

The Character Sketchbook 168 + 169

Hey there Friends,
How's your Tuesday going?
Mine got off to a late start...
i got lost in a dream,
and the dream would not let me leave till i had finished it.
So yesterday i got a request to post another drawing from my Character Sketch Book.
I know it's been a while so i thought i would~! :)
and since my dream reminded me of my good friend Sophie Ward,
i decided to post some drawing of her out of the book.
Hope you like.

A Back Turned - Page 150

Hello! Hello!
Well, i'm closing in on finishing a few projects.
Can't wait to show them to you.
The drawing i posted today is from The Character Sketchbook.
It's one of my favorites out of the book.
Not sure why. It's a drawing of a back...
but i really like how it came out.
i hope you like it.
p.s. Thank you to all for your nice words on the last post :)
You all are the best.

Sophie in the Cafe By Request.

Well in the last post,
i got a request to post a bigger version of one of the images in the Vision magazine post.
So here it is; hope you like it.

.... A Sneak Peak.

Hip hip hooray my friends!
Well i've been working on my Character Sketch Book for:

1 year 11 months and 17 days!

It looks like today might be the day i finish up the Second Volume of the book!
So with that said you are probably wondering what this has to do with the images i posted...
well i normally don't do any concept sketches in my character sketchbook cause they are all blind contour cheating a little.
But i decided for the last one of Volume 2 i wanted to have it go out with a bang!
hahahah So the idea is, i wanted to do a drawing with all the people who are drawn in the book,
kind of like a closing curtain call in a play where every one comes out and bows.
Since it's never good to know the ending of a book or movie...
i'm not going to post the finished drawing or show the arrangement...
but i didn't want to leave you in the dark,
so here are some of the really rough working drawings.
You'll just have to use your imagination on the arrangement!
Hope you all are having a great day.

P.s. For thoses who are wondering... Yes that is me wearing lederhosen. hahaha

198 + 199

Wow, the title looks like a math equation. hahaha.
Well, let me finish it. {198 + 199= 1 more to go} haha
Wow! That was a cheezy joke... oh, well...
Today i'm going in to work...
which means i'm dressed and up earlier than the norm.

Oh! to all the very lovely people who were nice enough to ask if they could commission me to do a portrait...
I really feel bad i haven't been able to get back to you yet.
i've been swamped, but don't worry, i plan on getting back to each and every one of you as soon as i can.

Also about the Desktop Wallpapers... i should have a bundle of Wallpapers for you...
i've been working on drawing ornate things, so i did a drawing last night of lisa in lace.
i'm going to post it later hopefully...
Well, off to work to pay the bills.
