Illustration Friday: Immovable

Another quick Illustration Friday strip.

edit:  I forgot the word "force" in the second panel.  It's supposed to say
"an outside force must solve the paradox"

...and that is the problem of working in pen all the time.

Illustration Friday: atmosphere

In these hot days of summer I love technology in more ways than one.



I managed to sketch, copy and post from Starbucks and an iPhone.

Illustration Friday: Star Gazing

Ted the turtle - B&W

I am thinking of doing my pop-up book in a ink/woodblock style with bold backgrounds rather than my normal painterly style. It just feels right to me. I'll probably do a few pieces in each style just to figure it out.

Anyway, these are the two style I am debating.

Painting on the iPad

Here's another little picture of Ted the Turtle and Kat.  I've actually made the first prototype of the pop-up book I am turning this into.  I am still deciding on the stylization of the book, but I will continue to paint this way until I figure out the new stylization.

I did this one on the iPad using Sketchbook Pro.  It's a pretty nice tool.  Painting is a bit odd on the iPad, because I can't rest my hand on the surface. Of course I can't put my hand on the canvas with real paint either, but I'm digital now and have gotten used to always resting my hand on a surface.  Using the Pogo Stylus makes me really miss my Wacom tablet, as the conductive foam on the Pogo doesn't glide across the glass surface as smoothly as I like. I am going to try Brushes next and then decide which I like better.  I'll do a comparative review after I've done some painting on both.

I've been a bit busy so I haven't been doing much painting or modeling lately.  I'll try to update with doodles and sketches when I'm not actually posting modeling updates or paintings, because there is always something.
