The Haunted Legs – sketches

Hey folks!  The Haunted Legs project is over!  Lots of people have been asking me how I came up with the ideas, so I thought it was worth posting some sample sketch pages.  This is how I worked out all my ideas for the days.  There were lots of ideas I didn’t use (see the last example).

I will be traveling in Europe for the next 3 weeks so I doubt I will post much, but I am bringing my sketchbook – so expect some drawings when I return at the end of the month!

Freebie Friday! The Haunted Legs!

On JULY 1st I will be starting a DAILY art project which focuses on The Haunted Legs (pictured above).  So I thought it would be fitting to end this month with a illustration give-away that centers around The Haunted Legs!

To win the above illustration, all you have to do is head over to my Facebook fanpage and comment on it today or tomorrow!  It’s THAT easy!  Stay tuned for the project to start THIS SUNDAY!

Analog Value Comps


Most times when I have to do a value comp it means I open up Photoshop.  But with my recent work on my children’s book illustrations I decided to go totally analog.  Here are some pictures I snapped while working.  They are done in charcoal, graphite and Ebony Pencil.
More to work on these to come.

P.S. if you have any great connections in the publishing world I’d LOVE to hear from you 🙂

Sketch Trio


Lately I’ve been working on a lot of private freelance – hence I don’t have a ton of finished art to post. So I decided to at least post a few recent doodles form my sketchbook. The first is a rough for a bookmark I’m thinking about printing. The other two are just random.
