More Brush Pen practice

I do little doodles to warm up before cracking down on work. Lately I've been inking them with my brush pens for practice. Here's a recent page.

Sketch Cards

I've been doing these little things as fun color studies/warm-ups in various sizes and I think I'll set up an Etsy store to sell them in fairly soon. I keep giving them away, which is bad, haha!!

Most of these are either 2.5" x 3" or 4" x 5".

They're all done on cold press illustration board with watercolors and colored pencils. SOme of them have little metallic gold or silver ink accents.

Beautiful Storytelling With Simplicity

Forewarning: Since I had to close my social networking accounts for reasons I can't explain right now, this blog willl be more... bloggy. But only with art-related things, I promise. It's partly because I want to catalog these things so I can reference them again later, and partly because GUYS YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!

So, if you're into storytelling, storyboarding or anything like that and want an amazing example of  simple, well-thought-out introduction to a character with zero dialogue, look to the opening sequence for Batman; The Animated Series. I'm serious.

Here's a comprehensive breakdown of why this is so brilliant http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/11/04/ask-chris-78-why-the-batman-the-animated-series-opening-is/

While you read that, I'm watching Batman; the Animated Series and drawing some fan art (because it's FRIDAY!).
