This has been a bit of a stressful week.  Still have a lot to do.  I did this quick digital sketch of Hellboy to blow off some steam after the Sketch night tonight.  It was about 30 minutes in photoshop.

I love sketching Old Dudes.  Its no secret.   Especially living in West Texas where Old Dudes are in and of themselves work of art for the caricature artist.  I was out at the Market Street last night with Amber sketching people, and the Olderly’s were out in full force.   This guy was one of my favorites.  I decided to paint him in Photoshop.  I want to do a whole scene of these guys.  But I still have lots of other work to be doing.  Maybe one of these days I’ll do a book of ‘em.

Several of my friends from the Lubbock Sketch Club and from around town got together and pitched in to buy me a new drawing tablet to replace my old one that has been hurting my feelings for nigh on two years now.  It was a complete surprise and a real blessing.  Its a new Wacom Intuos 4 tablet.  My old one was a 3.  I didn’t even know they had 4’s out yet.  Its pretty awesome, with a lot more short cut buttons and a touch ring that works as both a zoom, and can toggle through several other convenient options.  Its really amazing.

Its been kind of rough month.  But all of a sudden, I’m with a new laptop, with all new adobe suite, and a new drawing tablet.  I’m really looking forward to diving 2010!

So this is my first official digital sketch with the new tablet.  Amber is really into UFO’s and aliens right now, so I guess this drawing came out of that somehow.  I think he’s cute. This was about an hour in Photoshop.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed Christmas and New Years.  Keep smiling!

Sometimes when I realize that I’m living in Lubbock Texas and not some place that takes my breath away, I get a little sad. I try to remind myself of the beauty that does surround me. The sunsets, the clouds, the gigantic sky… and when I get tired of all that I sit down and sketch out someplace gorgeous I’d much rather like to be.

With less than two weeks till I head out to the San Diego comic-con.. I’m starting to feel those itchy feet to get someplace beautiful. Rather than drive myself mad I decided to do a little sketchens. I’m SO looking forward to this trip. I might accidentally forget to come back. Hmmm… thinking.. thinking…
