it’s amazing how people morph and adapt to each others habits. i’m not talking about just significant others, but also friends. it seems like the more time we spend with each other, the more we pick up habits, ways of doing things, when to do things, etc. i find it amazing because even with just myself, i know i have tons of things that i do just the way i like it. where i leave the remote controls. how i have used cups all over the house. but yet, it’s so easy to ‘mesh’ with someone too. there’s been times when i’ve shown up to parties or work wearing the same thing as my friend. i guess i’ll draw the line when i start showing up wearing the same things as my girl friends.
been wanting to do a nighttime scene for awhile now. pretty basic stuff. next time i’ll throw in some window moonlight and maybe cast shadows. simple and fun.

ever take a picture and one of your friends or maybe a stranger gets in it and makes a funny face? that’s me.

did this awhile back and finally getting around to posting it. this is the first step i do, which is just pencils. the next couple steps, inking, scanning, coloring, touch-ups, and maybe lettering are all challenging in their own ways, but as an artist, this is still my favorite step!
as i was drawing this, i knew i wanted to draw real-life finn sitting in the center, flanked by elle and ivy. i always have a hard time creating backdrops, so i just stole this one from where i was sitting, at a starbucks coffee shop. the lighting apparatus was a google image find and the ottoman was actually from my house. (love ottomans!) now, the painting in the background was something spontaneous. i knew the backdrop needed something, but obviously not to dramatic as to overwhelm the foreground. so, to drive home the point of elle, finn, and ivy, i just drew their comic strip version. i loved the way it turned out, and hope you do too!

finally cracked open a book i got as a gift awhile back called Creative Photoshop by Derek Lea, and learned some new tricks with photoshop. i’m sure i didn’t apply the lesson to the best extent, but hey, it’s a learning process right? hope you enjoy!

my sketching, still learning from the master, jim lee. superman issue #204. and yes, i know his eyes are off. it’s what happens when you use heat vision too much.

here are some really quick sketches. they’re drawn from jim lee’s batman run with the hush storyline. i figure i better practice with some of the best and hopefully i’ll come into my own style soon enough.

was watching the movie Push (which ain’t all that), and there was this asian girl with these crazy bangs. and then i turned her hair blue.

doodling the other day. hope it’s not too racy. it’s supposed to be secret agent finn and the “real” version of elle.
