Sketch Lubbock – August

Posted by WillTerrell On August - 24 - 2010

My wife Amber and I sketch people every where we go.  Its a lot of fun, but its also great training.  I am always trying to capture the way that a person walks, stands, sits, or carries themselves.  It makes it a lot easier when I’m drawing pages or illustrations, to draw from experience, than to try to figure it out from my own head.  Here’s a handful of the sketches from this month.  The top sheet is from Taco Villa, the middle is from Barnes and Noble, and the bottom is from Market Street grocery store.  Its rare that people actually notice me drawing them, but not uncommon for other people to see what I’m doing and come over to take a look.  I’m always amazed at how excited they get at seeing people being drawn.  No matter what race, or culture.  Everyone loves art.

Tales of Garcon cover

Posted by WillTerrell On August - 20 - 2010

I am working on a new project these days.  I am illustrating a 200 page graphic novel for a text book company.  The book is called Tales of Garcon and its a story that illustrates the pitfalls and opportunities of franchising in business.  Its a fun story, and I like the characters a lot.  Its been a lot of work so far.  In July I penciled, inked and lettered the first 32 page chapter, and my wonderful, talented wife laid down the shading on it as well.  32 pages in a month is a lot.  I’ve never done that before.  I wasn’t sure I’d be able to.  But I am enjoying the challenge.

This is the cover for the first chapter.  I will be posting some pages before too long.

I got married!

I love my wife!  She’s pretty amazing.  And after being single for a very, very long time, it has been such a welcome change to share my life with someone as incredible as her.  She is a cartoonist as well, we make comics together for a living, and in our free time we watch cartoons and draw.  I am blessed.  We got married at the end of May, and things got busy very quickly.  I’ve got several big projects in the works, some of which I’ll be posting about here soon.  Its kept us very busy, with myself working sometimes 60 hours a week.  I can’t complain though.  This is the life I’ve always wanted to live.

I’ll be posting a lot more this month, but to start things out, heres a few images from our wedding.  And the cartoon (of course) directions to our wedding.

Caricature Family

Posted by WillTerrell On June - 1 - 2010

This was a caricature commission from a few weeks back.  It was a lot of faces from a lot of photos.  Not the most I’ve ever drawn, but I was able to turn it around quicker than any I’ve done.  The client seemed really happy with it too.  I think its going on a T-shirt for a family reunion.  Not sure exactly, they just wanted the drawing.

Hermit Hill

Posted by WillTerrell On March - 22 - 2010

Well, this was fan art for one of my favorite Webcomics, Hermit Hill, but it looks like I’m a little late to the party.   He’s putting closing the book on the comic after two years.  It was fun while it lasted.  Thanks for making us laugh Nate!
