Pinup Studies

So, I've finally decided to leap into the illustration tradition of pinup art, which is both fun and intimidating. It would seem, that each illustrator has their own unique approach to a pinup illustration, creating a multitude of flavors within this "genre" of illustration. All you have to do is open a Playboy magazine from the 1960's to witness the pinup pluralism. It's interesting for me to see how each individual artist has made their stamp by way of problem solving through the pinup. I started asking myself, if push came to shove, how would I approach a pinup? Cool thing, my friend Bernardo Franca (who is an amazing artist by the way) asked for such an illustration! Now I get to find my voice within the pinup world, and I couldn't be more excited.

Here are a few facial studies. :-)

By the way, here's Bernardo's blog.

Cold Blooded Warriors

It feels like I'm developing more projects than I have time for. To me though, that's a good thing. I often find that it's better to work and develop multiple projects rather than to have just the one. It keeps ones eye sharp and helps inform the other projects one is working on in many ways. It's not an excuse to explore different styles. Honestly, I've never had much interest in that, or I should say, I don't enjoy letting a style become the directive for a project. These stories or ideas just pop up in my head and I draw them. Its really as simple as that. Such as this drawing series I'm developing for fun called "Cold Blooded Warriors". The idea came about at work, while I was taking a break between assignments. These two drawings are a work in progress, but hopefully I'll have them finished soon.

Journey to the West

A quick sketch of Monkey from "Journey to the West". I'm considering doing a small side comic with this character.

Speaking of comic, I've picked "Unbroken Skies" back up now that I've finally settled in from my move to Atlanta, Georgia. I'm hoping to have much more content on "Unbroken Skies" available plus a finished comic by the end of the year. I'll have a much bigger post on the matter hopefully soon. Time to get those comic and storyboard engines started!

Uzumaki Naruto

It would seem that all of the artists I follow on instagram and twitter have been posting the most amazing artwork these past couple of days. The best I could come up with this week is a Naruto drawing. :-P

Honestly, it's extremely rare for me to draw any type of fanboy illustration for myself. That being said, I just couldn't help myself after watching the latest trailer for "Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Storm 3". The game looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome.
