Go Jazz!

I always got into the team character drawings as a kid. Not sure I picked the best season to characterize the Jazz, but it made for a great desktop wallpaper this year on the Jazz website. I sketched everyone in my sketchbook--sometimes multiple times--after which I scanned the sketches into the computer and tied everything together by redrawing everything with the Wacom tablet. I wanted to leave this looking as if it were drawn with a ballpoint pen, maybe by some fan drawing this all on the inside of his personal pan pizza while sitting on the sidelines watching the Jazz play.

Pretty and Puckered

Based on the traditional mountain folk song of the Southern Appalatians, "Sourwood Mountain."

I composed this drawing right after performing this song with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I drew it in pieces in the sketchbook, put the pieces together in photoshop and redrew everything with the Wacom tablet. I love how adding the flare in the background alludes to the sunrise and how the light bounces off our Blue Eyed Daisy.

My little girl's a Blue Eyed Daisy, if I don't get her I'll go crazy...

Aloha!

Been working on this one ever since I began daily figure sketching. I'm somewhat satisfied with the sketch, but as shown I'm still pushing around the color.

The look and feel for some .ppt slides I put together for Destination Homes. This is the title slide.

General Conference Sketches

I don't know if I'll ever out grow this tactic. It seems that drawing the speakers during conference is the only thing that'll keep me awake and attentive. Each speaker is only about 10 minutes long so that is all the time I have to try and capture their likeness.
