Congrats Joey!

I put together this little montage for my brother Joey, who just recently graduated Cogswell Polytech! The school held a nice dinner for the graduates and had these comment cards at each table….Joey and I decided to sketch on them while we ate dinner! Way to go bro, you did an amazing job in school and im so proud of you! Time to take on the concept design world, i know that you are going to make mom and dad so proud!

Lineweights New Look

Recently we were having a bit of trouble reformatting and reshaping what Lineweights would look like. We finally, after a bit of digital wrestling with CSS…got it looking all shiny and new! Hope you like it!

If you have any comments or feedback, it would be great to hear from you. You can email us @ lineweights@gmail.com

Enjoy!

Teacher Evaluations Day!

Yesterday I had to step out of class for about 20 minutes, so that the students could take a Teacher Evaluation of the Vis class Jon and I taught this semester. The semester has gone really well, and I think that we effectively passed on sketching knowledge….but there is something to be said when all those pencils are sitting and writing about your teaching performance. Its like all weapons are now pointed at you! Flipped through the Art of Star Wars and decided to sketch the ship I would need to break back into that classroom!

Hockey Helmet

Inspiration comes from so many different places, things you see, events in your life….especially when hockey playoff season starts! Haha! Sketched these, and many other pages out, before going over to Easton Bell for an interview….worked on a few more after the Sharks won a crazy game last night OT. Gotta work on sketching human heads, get that proportion down….none the less, pretty fun to sketch out!

Smart Car.

Pretty straight up…time to draw a Smart Car! They have such cool little personalities, it makes it easy to capture the character like feel that these cars have. Used a ultra fine point Sharpie and Pentel Sign Pen to bold up the out side lines. Keep it loose and free… Enjoy!

back to basics: syd mead

Since its been a long while since my last post, I felt like I needed to get back to some of my basics to get the ball rolling again. Also its “back to school”time…it can be really helpful to warm up your school year with some of the basics you learned throughout art school. I threw on the first Syd Mead Gnomon tutorial video, and sketched along with him. http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/category/107/Syd-Mead

Dr. Seuss

I wasn’t lucky enough to have taken the same class that Jon, Alex, Dan and Cres took when they sketched out those dope “creature sketches” that Jon just posted. I was fortunate enough to have the very same teacher throughout SJSU ID; Prof. John McClusky. The connection that many of us had with him, was something that fueled the fire to strive beyond the norm. Good, well informed design was only one of the many passions we picked up from John….Movies, Concept/Entertainment Design, Concept Artist, Sci-Fi, Infinite Futures and much more. This sketch would be very ….Seussian…in one of Johns great qrit’s! Thanks so much for the many inspirations John!

I sketched this around the same time JC sketched this creatures…guess it was one of our many late night sketch jam sessions! Dude, how about that for our Lineweights “events”…Sketch Jam, Sketch Jam…

Dr. Seuss has always been one of my favorites and very influential as a young kid trying to learn to draw…Thanks Theodor Seuss Giesel!
