New tutorial coming

After working on some promo art for my Looney Tunes fan comic, I decided to do a video/tutorial on character design.

I usually announce on my Instagram the kinds of tutorials I'll be doing, complete with either video or photo samples of my artwork.  Stay tuned!

Dazed, distracted, and...inspired?

March came in like a lion - and so did my current cold! Worst part is, I got sick on my day off yesterday.  What a way to spend time off of work!

As such, I'm home sick, and trying to keep myself "sedated" so as not to deal with the congestion.  My efforts are failing so far.

The nice thing about being sick and home is I don't have to deal with rotten people.  The bad part is, my head is so fogged up, I'm too tired to even think or be inspired by anything.  I started finalizing a page of a comic, but boredom set in.  Amusing myself with Looney Tunes art on DeviantArt got tiresome kind of quickly.  I don't even have energy to practice my fiddle!

But oh well.  Once I get lunch, I should feel (slightly) better.  I'll be looking through my notes to see which tutorial needs to be done next.  Stay tuned to this blog and YouTube channel for instructional videos and speed paints/draws!

See you next time!

Notes on Pepe le Pew by Chuck Jones

Interesting fact about the creation of Pepe le Pew.  Cartoon characters are a representation of a certain personality trait of artists.  The more characters you create, the more it reveals about your personality.



Thank you, Chuck Jones!!

Speed Draw: Baby Pepe le Pew

Did a little drawing today of Pepe le Pew! This is one of the fastest art pieces I've ever done.  Enjoy!

6. Scribbling Technique with Hard Leads

Getting back into the swing of things with my new tripod! It's kinda tricky finding the right angle due to its size; but hey, it all works out in the end! Enjoy!

Now we're talking!!

See this handy-dandy handsome little thing? Yes! It's a new tripod for my smartphone to record better tutorials with! 

Didn't get the camera I wanted since I'm a little strapped for cash, but my phone will do for now.  The nice feature on my phone is that when the flash is left on in snapshot mode, it'll turn on when recording - which is great considering my bedroom lighting is just terrible.  There will be a day when I record with extra LED lighting, but it is not this day.

All that's left to do is get on a strict schedule and stick to it!    

New tutorial soon!

Monday is the beginning of my week off - and since I'm working on a new art piece, I hope to make a tutorial on that! It's all about properly using digital color, especially when you have parts of your picture that are all black. Stay tuned!
