Here is a client sketch that was approved, and the color version can be seen here. A few more rope ladders were added at the Illustrator stage after it had been inked.

Here’s another client reject that is on its way to getting finished. You can see a couple of minor changes in the pencil sketch vs the inked version, no lures, bigger smile and eyes.

Here’s an inked cartoon of a deep sea diver that I created to put into a simple CS4 Flash animation while trying to learn the program. It’s a re-creation of the fish tank scenario where the treasure chest opens every couple of seconds to expel a few bubbles. This one is a small departure from my usual inking technique, in that I’ve given it a touch of a woodcut effect.

A very quick, cleaned-up sketch of a pig pickin’ on a banjo, and the inked line art version, inspired by a request. We’ll post the color version on Thursday, Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise.

This is my 100th post on this blog and because it’s been a while since I’ve created a sketch video, I thought I would crank one out in celebration. For some reason, maybe because as you can see, I wasn’t using a brand new pencil, I didn’t seem to be as organized or logical in my drawing during this session. So due to my scattered sketching style, this time there isn’t any narration to help walk you through my process. But I hope you can still follow along well enough to get something usable out of it.
A revised version of a rejected client sketch. The nice thing about rejected sketches is that I can add them to the website if I think they might be useful to someone. I take out the custom elements and make them more generic for a wider appeal. I haven’t had time to go to finish on this one, but eventually it will get inked and uploaded.

Just a quick post of a sketch since we’re getting quite busy here at Wiz Studios. This one will be fleshed out a bit more and colored when I get the opportunity.

Long ago, in another lifetime, I used to draw cartoons without any computer involvement at any stage of the process. I recently ran across this example of my purely analog work while digging through some of my archives. It was a birthday present for Bob, the spouse of a co-worker when I was working for the advertising department of Home Depot; a caricature created in ink and colored pencil. A more recent photo of Bob is shown for an idea of how close I captured him back in ’94.
