New scanner, new sketches

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Got a new scanner yesterday, so I can finally scan in some sketches I’ve been meaning to. These are from my sketchbook, not off the Cintiq. Which I guess is kinda a redundant point, since I wouldn’t have to scan in anything from the Cintiq now would I… (more…)

Zoo sketches

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Went to the Toronto Zoo a couple of weeks ago with some friends, and we had a great day just drawing the animals. It was rather so most of the animals seemed to be rather inactive, which made it easier for us to draw them. Below are more sketches of various critters: (more…)

OWL Halloween

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

owl-cover

Here’s the latest cover for OWL Kids. Halloween this year features Mummies thanks to the upcoming King Tut exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

These were some of the sketches that didn’t make the cut. Originally I was planning to have a more Egyptian theme but it was decided that the issue didn’t have enough Egypt-mummy content to warrant the history lesson!

Also in this issue (I think) is a how-to spread on how to make your own headless man costume. The illustrations were actually done last year for the previous Halloween issue. However, at the time, an incident in Canada made the article seem to be in poor taste and the magazine decided to keep the article for this year instead. Will try to take some pics of this when I get the magazine.

Sketches for some new pinups I made for FanExpo at the end of the month. The ‘school’ series actually has 5 pinups but I’ve only had the time to do up these 3. And really, 3 is enough I think…

Random sketches of people around Kensington market. Lots of great people to draw, only wish they’d stop more often instead of just walking by in like 5 seconds.
