Day 31

An old man!

Day 30

Here is the initial thumbnail which I did to get a feel for the composition of the scene, nothing is really set in stone at this point. To be honest, I didn't really want to post this because it is so rough and it doesn't really look good, however it serves a purpose and it gets across what I intended, and it provides enough indication for me to proceed. So while it is a little embarrassing, the important thing is that it gives me good starting point.

Since I already had a likeness, I just used Photoshop to paste the head into the scene and I drew in some parts that were unresolved or unclear.

The next step will be to clarify the composition and try to get all the elements working together...For that I will do it in Photoshop in black and white. I will post that tomorrow.

Take care,

Gavin Ball

Day 29

This the caricature I mentioned in my post yesterday, The client was nice enough to say it's okay for me to post my progress. This is a quick sketchup I did to get the likeness. I'll continue to post progress as I go along.

Day 28

Some more practice, this is from a few weeks ago, It's not what I worked on tonight, I'm still trying to finish up a different peice, it's getting there, it will be ready soon...and I also am doing some work on a caricature for a client...I think it would be cool to post some of the process work here on my blog, but I must first ask if it's okay.

Thanks!

Take care everyone,

Gavin

Day 27

Another sample from a WIP

Day 26

More progress and some practice

Day 25

Hello,

I've been working on a peice for a while now and I was hoping I'd be able to post it today, unfortunately it's still not quite finished. Instead I am going to post up some doodles I did and then painted over. Some of the drawings go nowhere, but some turn out pretty interesting. I noticed a lot of times, whatever I am reading at the time will influence what my subconscious mind will draw. I've been watching a lot of Avatar lately and that came through in the one sketch.

Anyways, it's been a long day, I'll try to post something more finished soon.

Take care,

Gavin

Hey everyone,

I didn't quite finish it up as I had a lot of work to do tonight...but I like where it's going and I'll post the final in the next few days.

Also, I'm open to ideas and suggestions on how to improve it before I'm done.

Day 12

This weeks drawing jam was characters that could be in the movie Labrynth...so this is some of what I came up with, it's a bit of a stretch, but i think it's close enough.

Take care,

Gavin

Day 11

Hey everyone,

Thank you for all the comments and taking the time out to stop by my blog...I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I don't have a bigger update today...but I have done a little work on a piece I posted earlier and I've also got something that I wasn't going to really pursue any further.

Thanks again!

peace and blessings,

Gavin Ball
