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

Cousin’s Sketch Series- Part 2

In the series I am working on for all my younger cousins, this sketch (scanned in progress, not shown finished here) was done for my little cousin Sofie. She loves rivers, streams, waterfalls and cool hidden natural places. This composite sketch was done using The Art of Pocahontas as inspiration, its a large sketch…11×17, so I scanned it in 2 parts. I have 6 more sketches to go in the “Cousin’s series”, each one gets a sketch for their birthday this year 🙂

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!
