Click here for a quick speed drawing of our alien friend to the left.  The drawing took one hour.  I used Photoshop CS4, Wacom Cintiq 21ux. 

Stay tuned for more tutorials.  The Foundation of Art is in the works.  It'll be multiple tutorials spanning ove the basics of art.  The series will run a couple of hours total.  Also a few After Effects tutorials are in the works.

Wow, what a great month this is turning out to be. My second submission to Zuda gets in the competition, and the competition is stiff.  My team and I need your help.  Go to Zuda.com and vote for Leon and the Savage Fountain. 

This was my first attempt at working with other artists and I must say that it was a blessing.  Master artist, William Allan Reyes, took up the penciling and inking duties.  While pixel pusher, Erik Korsgaard, put the icing on the cake with his brilliant colors.  Thanks guys for being such hard workers.  You helped make our story the best it could be.



I've just posted part 2 of our Cartoon Faces Tutorial.  It's funny listening to myself in these damn videos.  I'm such a hick.  My southern twang really comes out. 

In Part 2 we cover coloring our inked figure.  I take you through my process of blocking in color, creating highlights and shadows, and adjusting your color to fit your needs once your values are complete.  I hope you enjoy it.  Again, stop back at the blog and let me know what you think of the tutorials or drop me a line with subjects for future tutorials.  You can find the tutorial in the tutorial section of my website or just click here for all you lazy bastards.

My first tutorial is uploaded and ready to view.  Cartoon Faces Tutorial: Part 1 covers the different shapes you may use to construct your face plus the pencil and inking of what will be our final image.  You can find the tutorial in the tutorial section of this site or just click here.

I just got engaged to this beautiful creature to the left.  Here name's Kristen Meyer.  Ain't she prettty.  I normally don't put this kind of stuff on the blog but I'm excited about it and wanted to share it with the world.

Here are some early sketches done by William Allan Reyes of Leon and some other leading characters.

We are currently in 6th place out of 10 in the competition.  If you haven't voted please do.  I am looking forward to moving up in the ranks.
