WINNIE THE POOH Commission!

Here is a new pen and ink commission I did about a week ago for a fan named Al. It's for his wife who's a Winnie The Pooh fan. I drew a lot of Pooh in early and mid-2007 so it was nice to go back and do this amid all the Power Ranger work of late. Enjoy!

BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER - Pen & Ink Commission

Here's a commission piece of pin-up art that I did of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer I did based on the TV show version of Buffy with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Pen and ink on 11" x 17" bristol board. Click on the image for the bigger version! Enjoy!

TINKERBELL commission! And CAPTAIN CAVEMAN warm up sketch!

Here are three drawings of I drew of Tinkerbell, which is for a commission I'm doing for someone at the upcoming Wizard World Philly con next weekend. I worked out three sketches since this is the first time I've ever done Tink so it took me a bit to find the cutesy pose I was looking for. The first one posted here was actually the last one I drew, but it's the one I like the most. The other two are cool too but this one has more spark to it.

These are drawn on 8.5 x 11 copy paper and were the prelims for the final one which will be at 11 x 14 size I'm guessing. I draw it out on crappy paper and then blow it up and lightbox it to a new piece of art paper so that my lines are all perfect and there's no pencil residue underneath. This is how all my work is done. Unless of course it all has to be done in the computer for quality sake. Kinda like all the Handy Manny art I did. The finals must be kept super clean for a lot of jobs. Plus it makes scanning easier. I was able to get rid of most of the pencil for these with a tweak in Photoshop.

Captain Caveman was done as a warm up for the day to get the hand going since my proportions were way off today for some reason. So I'd thought I'd post this too for those who may remember the Saturday morning cartoon!

HELLO KITTY! A commissioned sketch request!

In an effort to draw anything and everything when called upon, I got a request to do a sketch of HELLO KITTY. Some of you may be laughing out there, but commissions are a strange thing. This is the first time I've drawn this character. This art was done by hand naturally since the as you can see by the pencil sketch lines and I did it in about 20-25 minutes. All of the HELLO KITTY art you see in the shopping malls is actually produced in Adobe Illustrator so that they can blow it up to a skyscraper if need be. Plus, you can get perfect line quality all around the character that you just can't do by hand. The same type of stylized character as the Powerpuff Girls.
