even more doodles

holy cow, I'm going through my sketch book and I found a bunch of drawings I think would be fun to post. I don't have a scanner so the quality of my iphone photos are a little crummy but these aren't really intended to look good anyways. Most of these dont need any introduction, they are just very random doodles in my book.

The image below is from an idea I had to do a commercial that mocks the iPad and use monsters hands fumbeling with an old speak and spell. I think it could be funny... we'll see if I ever do it...



The image below was done with oil pastels and its really small, maybe 2x3 inches


Lastly a self portrait

More Doodles

I've been on a trip to NYC this past week and I found myself with a little time so I thought I might post a few more doodles.

marker doodle dump

I thought I would post a few doodles that have been collecting on my desk before I head down into the coal mine. These were all done on a small 5x8in scratch pad that I got from my friend Laura. I love the paper cause it is surprisingly thick for a note pad. I apologize for the quality of the images, I had to use a camera because my dog chewed through the wire connecting my scanner and my computer. All of these were colored with fibracolor markers. enjoy:)

Peanuts Color

Last but not least the fifth and sixth features that I color each week is Peanuts short and tall. Coloring Peanuts is an awesome experience for me, despite the fact that all of the colors are already established and all I really do for these strips is apply that established color to the old dailies. It's still a sort of surreal experience every time I open up one of these comics on my computer.

That's about it really, all together I color 36 dailies a week and I couldn't be happier. I hope you've enjoyed my most recent posts. I'll try to continue this healthy stretch of blog posts through out this month.

Marmaduke Color

The Forth Feature I color every week is Marmaduke by Paul and Brad Anderson. These Daylies are by far the hardest to color. The Line work is so awesome and raw that it is nearly impossible to color. When trying to select areas to fill with color I find myself having to zoom all the way in so I can close off all the little gaps in the lines and fill in all of the tiny little holes . It's very time consuming, but at the same time its really cool to color Marm.

These posts are getting really long and the links to the images I am using from comics.com are really big so I condensed some of them and just uploaded the comics from my desktop. If you want to see more Marmaduke click here

Moderately Confused Color

The Third Feature I am coloring is called Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler. This comic, much like Reality Check, is changing everyday, so I have a lot more freedom when coloring. This one is my favorite to color, I really like the color palette as well as the use of white in the negative spaces. Jeff Stahler is an amazing artist and I really feel lucky to be coloring his comics.
