Pages from my sketchbook



The weather here has been like summer so I've been out drawing a lot the last few days. It is so nice to get out and sketch. These were done with white pencil on a tinted gesso background that I prepared beforehand to get rid of the dreaded white page.

Snail Rider

Flea and snail paintingPainted with Art Rage 2

A flea riding a snail... well sometimes you have to draw something really silly!
This might lead to some flea circus pictures,
I like the idea of tiny creatures
controlling the world.

Tales and Legends

legends of Zuclick on the image to see a larger version

this is for Illustration friday, it is a character from 'Legends of Zu' , a fantastic Chinese movie. This is the bird-man with metal wings made of blades that he can throw to defend himself. It is one of my favorite films, so full of imagination and beautiful scenes. Whenever I see it makes me want to paint .
