Look, up in the sky.....

....It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's THE BEST-MAN! That's right. This May, I'll be the best man in my buddies wedding party. And no, I don't think there's too much in the title. I think best man adequately describes who I am, and what I'm all about.
Never one to be shown up on someone else's big day, I decided to make up the following icon and print it on a tee-shirt, which I shall wear under my tuxedo and display at key moments in the ceremony; any moment of great need.
Since my suppos-ed bestfriend never visits my blog, I doubt I'll have to worry about him finding out. Hehehe. I just hope it arrives on time.
By the by, I'm trying out the company a friend of mine works for, www.cafepress.com. I'll let you know how that turns out, but it looks like a great place to print any designs or even books or music albums, if you want 'em made up yourself. Again, I won't endorse them until I've gotten my shirt....hm....I probably should have printed it on Spandex....blast!

Post Script: I did this in photoshop, which I've mentioned I'm new at, so the lines are jagged and what-not. I'm working on it. Please forgive!

Uh-h'uh!

It's been a while. Not, I hadn't forgotten I had a blog site....well, maybe I did for a few days, but I'm back, with what I think to be a cool character. Not the best, but cool...for me. Don't ask me why he turned out to be Elvis, but he did, okay! As for interesting and witty things for me to say, I'm in the middle of a school project right now, so no dice! Go to Yuk yuks if you want entertaining. I've got work to do!

Forsooth!?!

And here we are. An attempt at caricature! This is a friend of mine, and I've done this without her permission, so I hope she doesn't mind. The trick of cariacture -besides spelling it - is to maintain the likeness of the individual, while bringing out personality through exaggeration. Something I have never been able to do before, and only slightly succeeded in here. Let me know if you like it. I could use the build up....or the tear down. Which ever you like.

I'ma havin' fun tonight!

Okay. One more post, then I'm going to bed. Not too much to say, other than that if I ever get a girlfriend, I want her to look just like this woman. Mee-yow!
Again, I fixed up one of the figures I did before. Corrections are only good in comparison to the originals, posted earlier this month, I think. Feet and hands improved, still not great.
The face! Awesome. You ever just start drawing something, not really intending it to go anywhere, and it turns out way cooler than you could have gotten it by trying? There's things wrong with this - the traveling teeth being one of them - but I like the over all feel. It definitely has emotion - feeling - and gesture/unity. And he's drop-dead gorgeous!

Red pencil Rhapsody!

Ahhhh! I love finding things that work for me. It's like discovering a whole new world.....a new fantastic place to be.....so I went out and bought myself a red pencil, forsaking my old, waxy blue pencil, and I couldn't be happier...well, I guess I could, but not much. Not without some kind of chip dip....and chips.
It's amazing how much you can improve if you just draw. Far from perfect, this picture still shows improvements on my last attempt at drawing this buff figure here. Improvements can be seen - and these are only improvements by comparison - in the feet, and hands. Also, I was able to give a 3/4 view of this guy, something I was unable to do the first around. I'm still having trouble figuring out what this guy would look like from a front view, though. This chin would seem to cover most of this mouth, if not all, and that's not good. I'll work at it, and keep ya posted. Still havin' trouble with this 'line control'....hm.
