Mighty Matilde

Matilde makes the best Chambellonas and pasteries at the cafe on my way to work. She is as sweet as her baked goods.

Practicing on a card

Playing around with water-soluble pencil and "Thank You" card design involving characters (Chuck, RR, and WC), gelato and a sense of friendship. Still playing with techniques but I think I like the line of action between the 3 characters on the second card better.

practice in the sketchbook

Aside from practicing the characters I've done storyboard tests on in my sketchbooks, I've also been going back to life drawing.

Quick Life Sketch

Why did I draw this tonight? Well, first off, I was itching to draw and need something relaxing to do before bed, besides watching TV. Second, my animation contract for the current show I'm working on is quickly coming to an end this month. And with the economy being so bad, I am unsure of where or when my next job will be, hence the "starving artist" drawing. Third, I really think that the kids that get played on those children's charity commercials that seem to bombard my TV after every Xmas are truly beautiful. I wanted to see if I can draw the emotions as well as the beautiful anatomy of a child who suffers from malnutrition. That's all.
