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.

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.

Pig Pickin’

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.

Sketching a Cartoon Duck

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.

Vannin’ 2

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.

Wizard Sketch

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.
