Shop Local Billboard

Here is a replacement I created for the local Chamber of Commerce Boulder Dash billboard that has been up for some time now. Since the Boulder Dash was run on May 1st, they’ve been a bit tardy in getting around to working up a new one. But I think this one turned out quite well, simple and clean.

Boat Sketch

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.

Telescope

One of the projects I’m working on at the moment is an iPhone game, programmed by an independent developer. Below is one of the icons I banged out, uncharacteristically by Wacom tablet alone, no ink and paper version. The color was added via Illustrator and I’ve added the space background for this post. It won’t appear in the game version.

Fish Colored

Here is the finished fish sketch from a few posts back. I’ve taken the hook out to make him a bit more versatile and useful to a wider audience once I get him on my website pages and available for download. The color for this one was added in Illustrator.

Gone Fishing 2

Here is the color version of the cartoon reject mentioned in my last post. I’ve rearranged the layout a bit to make it work better as a header graphic for my website, wizardofdraws.com.

Gone Fishing

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.

Big Dog Color

As is my custom, whenever clients reject a sketch or concept that I’ve fleshed out to a good extent, I’ll go to finish on it and put it on my websites for my visitors to use. It’s a good way to grow my website toon collection, and my time spent sketching ideas can be turned into something useful to somebody, somewhere.
