Fairy Girl

 Inking on my Tablet.

Bookworm rough 1

This started as a rough idea about a girl and her love of reading...surrounded by a "bookworm" and images of a mix of fairy tail characters (and a monkey....cause monkeys are fun to draw)...anyway it was more of a composition than a quick sketch...need to clean up expressions and face details add more black around the face of the dwarf and behind the girl....fix her expression to give her more joy and wonder....but I liked this for what it started as ....a random thumbnail....stay tuned for the fixes


THOR bedtime story

drawing with the kids tonight, stories about Thor....marker on  newsprint  colored in sketchbook pro... on my Tablet


meeting sketch

had a meeting with the engineers today.....sheet metal changes and something....eh I forget.... I lost interest and found myself drawing this one with one ear to the conference all....Started with a Super hero figure ...then gave her a huge backpack, it was going to be a Jet Pack, then ended up as a battery pack  as my conference call topic bled into my thoughts.

Practice with the Pen....

 Just a warm up sketch ,trying to go from Manga Studio for inking work to Sketch Book Pro for Color.  I am having resolution issues and speed issues on my Tablet. . . Manga can easily work in large files @600 DPI.. . But SBP can't pull in those Large files and slows down the brush response.
