I haven't been doing much in the way of drawing lately, just been happily living!  Here are a couple of doodles and things from the past couple months from the little bit that I have done.

We have some random shapes and an obligatory skeleton.

A mess of gray scale values.

Some cartoony doodles.

A somewhat sinister robot with ropy protrusions and spiky bits.

A little bit of learning about how legs go together.

Was doodling an idea I had after watching a short video on pollination http://www.ted.com/talks/louie_schwartzberg_the_hidden_beauty_of_pollination.html (some really neat footage here!)

I'm not a big dragon guy, but the idea was that of dragon's as pollinators of a specific flower.  A co-evolution situation where the flower is a very hardy and dangerous plant, but the scales on the beast allow it to safely move about it.

Hurray for more necks! (Something's off about the left eye area..)
Rediscovered Rick Berry today. http://www.rickberrystudio.com/galleries/gallery_update_1.html
I remember seeing his stuff before, but stumbled across him again today.  I love his style a lot!

Mess

I think I need to be less afraid of buggering things up, and just start throwing value around sometimes, it's fun!

Was looking at Andrew Jones' site a bit.  http://www.androidjones.com/ 
So chaotic and full of shapes and colour, I like it.  He did concept art for Metroid Prime, which is awesome, it's one of my favourite-est games.

Meh Inducing Sunday

Not really feeling it today, not sure I should post this one... oh well.

Was looking at some of Charlie Bowater's stuff today, she's crazy good: http://charliebowater.tumblr.com/

Some doodles from October 2010.

Saturday Again

This one got kind of messed up...  Reference here: http://www.women-hairstyles.com/images/chinese-hairstyle.jpg

The character is a real messy copy from an image in some fellows portfolio.  A talented guy named Alan Cook: http://cookedart.carbonmade.com/projects/2074003#2.  I like his style, shows a good understanding of shape that I'm still lacking.  The lamp and digital clock are part of what I see from my seat at my computer!

I enjoy drawing weird looking birds, but I bet these aren't nearly as weird looking as a whole lot of actual birds.  Planet Earth is an amazing series, David Attenborough is awesome.  If I could, I'd just watch that series over and over for drawing inspiration.

Desert Environment

Must have worked on this for a couple hours straight.  Perhaps a rocky, desert type land.  It's quite rough and loose, but most of my stuff is at the moment.

It's somewhat Feng Zhu inspired, if I watch any tutorials these days it's one of his, but I haven't been doing much tutorial watching at all lately.

Here's a link to a demo reel of his, uploaded in 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt3YZ0qST9I&feature=channel_video_title
Has some boppin' music to go along with it!

And here's a link to the first episode of his tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/user/FZDSCHOOL#p/u/115/1McYZX6KScg
Each tutorial is around 30 minutes long, and they focus on a variety of topics: design, painting, hardware, technique, software...  lots of good information.  Right now there are 39 tutorials.

I was checking out Craig Mullin's website, pretty cool stuff. http://www.goodbrush.com/
I love looking at concept art, such as his, where the individual strokes look so loose and quick, but the overall image conveys so much information.
