Quick turn around

In my previous post I mentioned that the Simpsons commission gave me a confidence boost I didn't know I needed to do my next commission that I hadn't got yet. Well this was that piece. A good friend of mine wanted a drawing done for his friend to give to him as a gift on Saturday, He asked me on the Monday night and I had already made plans for Friday so he was to pick it up Thursday afternoon. This gave me Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning to get it done, sweet. Oh but i forgot to mention that I take care of the most beautiful toddler in the world, AKA my daughter Lita, during the day.

The sketch and plan was laid out on Tuesday and started the detail on Wednesday. I gave Lita some extra movie time so I could get it done BUT that wasn't good enough as at one point she took my pen out of my hand and ran away with it, Hiding it among her toys which took a good 20 mins- half hour to find. Needless to say I was feeling guilty for not giving her 100% of my attention but it had to be done. Some of the details in the gold plate had to be totally ignored but the job was complete on time and delivered to what I am told was a very happy man and an even happier mother which is great to here.

Even after all the not sleeping and stressing I am happy with the result for the time and speed I did it in. Here it is.

Til next time Stay Frosty.

Simpsonized!

Had to put the Koalas on hold for a minute as I got two commissions that had quick turnaround deadlines and the shorter deadlines mixed with taking care of a toddler meant I needed to maximize my free time to get the commissions done. The Koalas will return in the next few days don't you stress too much but before that here is one of those mentioned pieces.

I was asked by one of my favorite people on the planet to draw herself and her fiancee as characters from 'The Simpsons' for his birthday. Now I almost didn't do it cause drawing the background seemed like a huge task and I hadn't drawn Simpsons characters since high school. I am glad I did it tho, It showed me I could get something quality done in limited time which I needed before I did my next commission which I will share at a later date.

The Birthday gift was a big success and I'm very happy with how they Simpsonizing went. Here is the art and as always Stay Frosty

Koala-T: Week 5

Week 5 and still sketching a Koala a day! Here are the week 5 efforts, Hope you enjoy! Stay Frosty

Koala-T: Week 4

Week 4 of sketching Koalas is in the books. The post is a day or so late but I've got commissions that I have to do and the main purpose of this is to do something everyday which will hopefully wire my brain to create everyday! So far so ok. Some suck and I hate them but they are usually the result of little time or not wanting to create but I do it anyway no matter the Koala-t. Anyway here they are, there are a few I still plan on taking to another level after I finish my commissions.

Stay Frosty

Koala-T sketches:week 3

Still at it boys and girls! Here is the last 7 days worth of Koalas. I haven't had a chance to any further with any more like I did the snowman but there are a few on the list to go back to. I am finding sometimes I have an idea on what I want to sketch up but most of the time it is just drawing a circle and running with it. Stay Frosty

Koala-Tee Sketching: Week 2

2 weeks in of sketching up idea involving a Koala every day! Enjoy my efforts from the last week and also enjoy one from last week i went a bit further with. Stay Frosty!

First Week of Koala-Tee Sketching

Always! Why is it that every time one gets motivated to do something life makes it super difficult?

First week into my challenge and my Little Girl gets a cold. Poor little thing couldn't sleep through the night and needed all my love and attention.Then when she was on the mend I was stricken with the same cursed cold! So with the flu and a few concerts it was difficult to find the time to draw so the first week is just sketches BUT I will hopefully go back and fix them up and make some little cartoons out of them. 

I really dig a few of the sketches and I hope you do to! Well I don't care if you do actually because this is about my motivation and creativity so as long as I keep moving forward I am stoked. My output this year is already beating last years output at this time a year prior so SCORE!

Enjoy the Koala-T and if you have a fav let me know or don't cause I don't care (or do I?)

Stay Frosty.
