Jammin Kit Kat

So I've been trying to get used to and use Photoshop on my drawings. I really like how it looks but teaching yourself is a bitch. I'm sure i took everything that should be simple and made it oh so complicated. This took me like 3 hours. I need a Photoshop teacher

Sinclair le teddy bear

A character i've been working on for a children's book I'm illustrating. This is my first job illustrating anything ever and it has been pretty fun, pretty stressful, and pretty amazing....and i've only finished the cover so far.

And yes, the icecream man that came around my neighborhood did actually have tatooed tally marks on his arm. I always wondered what they meant but the more I think about it, I'm really much more comfortable not knowing.

just messing around with some character sketches. For some reason I got on a bird kick and just tryed to draw some of the weirdest types i could think of.....

I just finished taking a comic class where we explored color and the narrative and this is one of the "free" assignments we did for extra credit. My teacher was Nathan Fox, who is an incredible comic artist who just did some illustrations in DMZ 17 and 18. Check it out
