Mickey Mouse

Some Mickey Mouse studies

Pirate Cat finished

I hope my grandpa likes it :)

I've drawn this for his birthday because I never know what to give for his birthday.

As a child you used to draw something as a gift, so why wouldn't I do that too? :)

I drew my grandparent's cat.

Their cat doesn't like being on their boat and she is really fat.

That's how I came up with a fat pirate cat ^-^

Pirate Cat (w.i.p)

Presentation Illustrations

Last Friday I had to tell other students about my internship.

This are the illustrations I used for this presentation

Internship

Long time no see!
But here a collection of stuff I sketched at my internship.
Most of them are doodles and if they aren't, I still can't tell you what they are for ;)
So I just dump them here to show them to you.
They are in order of time, from past to most recent:

Sunday-doodles

Inspired by some '50-stuff, I doodled those (and more) last Sunday. I like the one on the right bottom the most. But I also don't like it at the same time, because I think it looks like the girl below:

Goo Goo Ga-Ga

(Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends)

Well, it doesn't completely match, but it feels like the same :P

sketching

Playing and practising with the final design :)

New stuff!

First a walky ^_^
Because the bunny I'm going to animate has short legs and some what big feet, I tried this out:
WARP!
I had some troubles with uploading, so that's why it's in a link...


Then, a sketch of Mick (the bunny of Mitch' parents)



And probably the final sketch of how Mac is going to look like in the animation! WHOOOHOO!!!

Losing internet: part 2

Again a "losing internet" post.
This time I got some sketches of things that can happen when you are internetless or seeking for it.
No markers this time but colored fineliners and pencil ^_^

Owh and 1.000.000 thanks to Paul, who gave me a Tria Marker Blender for free! :)

Losing internet

Can you imagine how you feel or act when your internet isn't working?
Well, I can.
It happens to me all the time.
Last week at home (and the phone + tv weren't working too T_T)
And at school ALL THE TIME!
The wireless internet at school is pretty crappy.
So I know I get frustrated when internet is gone!

This is going to be our main theme in our schoolproject.
I sketched a bit and this is one of them:


Colored with my brand new markers ^_^
I bought new ones this week, 'cause I gave my old away one year ago.
But I missed them so much 0:)

Doodles

Just doodled some bunnies.
They're al quite the same style and pose.
Seems like I can't let go...

serve dog

Again not very busy @work, so this time I copied the "serve dog" of the Preston Blair book:


Not a perfect copy, but good enough to ink it:


I did this ink with my new Wacom.
I almost immediatly discovered that I had less problems with drawing lines :)
So, bye bye Graphire and helloooo Intuos ^_^

I keep on practising, it's still far from "good"!

copy - ink

It was quite calm @work, so I was glad I took the Preston Blair book with me this morning :).
I copied the tired dog:



@Home I inked this copy:



Special thanks to Katie, who posted an awesome post about inking.
And to Mitch ofcourse, who is my 24/7-feedback-generator ^_^ (he's also good at other things but I'm not going to bore you with that information ;)).

Anyway!
I think this is already much better than I ever inked before, so I'm on the right track I suppose :).
That's my opinion... what do YOU think????!!!!

Expressions

I tried to apply some expressions on my bunny last days.
I photographed the sketches because my scanner is *#(#*@...
So I'm sorry for the gradient on the photo's ;)
Here we go!

Random:

Sad:

I was not quite sure about how to let the ears drop down.
What do you think about the curve at the chin to suggest a sad mouth?

Arrogant:

Also troubles with the ears!
Should I point them to the direction the bunny looks or in the opposite direction?

Random (innocent, scared & happy):

Random (normal, happy & in love):

Find it difficult to draw an happy bunny.
There is no mouth, so I can't draw a smile.
I tried to make it clear by making the nose wider, eyes closed, ears in the air & high eyebrows.

Random:

Gasping:

Star Wars!

I watched Star Wars all over the weekend, so I had to do this one ;).
It's not a great pose, but well.. I think it's allright for now.
(I wish it was more powerfull, more exaggerate... but I'm gonna work on that!)

Tips, tricks & feedback are welcome :)
