Potential Snowboard Design

Started this sketch today, it is a more developed version of Brutus and so far I'm pretty happy about it. I've been thinking about getting a snowboard to paint up and I think this is the design I want. 

I'm thinking of sticking with the monochromatic coloring too. Not sure yet. I still have to figure out how it would go on a board too. The bindings are going to cover parts, so I'll need to work that into the design as well. Once I know what image I want, I'll figure out working it around/ with the bindings. 

Beginning:

Where I stopped for the evening:

Have a great night :)

Diamond Mining Drawing

After doing the layering work from the diamond mining in Africa, this was the final image I came up with. I basically drew my form in ballpoint blue pen and then over laid the diamond, but extended all the lines within the diamond.

Materials: Pen and pencil on paper

Render of Form

I found this form earlier in some of my line work and was wondering what it would look if I rendered the image. From that I over laid a piece of tracing paper and extended the lines of the figure out.

This bottom image is putting both the figure and the lines on the same level.

Materials: Paper, Pencil, tissue paper, tracing paper, ink

Sketch Work

Most recent sketch work. Just another one of those figure forms, nothing too special...

Materials: pencil, and a little pen work.

The Skinny (3): Continued

So I added ink and paint... not sure how I feel yet about it. I'm not ready to remove the tape around the edges yet because, I'm just not a hundred percent sure I'm ready to say I'm do with it. I think I may want to add more to it. Make the darks darker and the white just a little whiter.

Anyway, same as before, I took a pen came for the black lines in the background and dipped it in the ink. The black in the figures were achieved by taking a mechanical pencil and dipping the tip into the ink and essentially using it as a pen. And the paint was just brushed on.

Material: Printmaking paper, pencil, ink, acrylic paint

Gestural Forms (1)

Just did this one... I like it a lot better than the first one I did with two figures from before. This time I did do a sketch with pencil before bringing in the charcoal.

Materials: Some type of paper (I think once again from my printmaking class), pencil, and charcoal.

The Skinny (3): Work In Progress

Currently working on this. I'm pretty stoked about it actually. No idea what I should do as far as a background go. Debating about inking it and putting paint on it like the others... Could be cool? Its not like I can't draw it again so I might as well just explore with it.

I think for the time being I'll put it down and come back to it in a little bit.

Materials: Its on some kind of printing paper I had left over from a intaglio printmaking class with pencil.

Size: 15"x8" (approx.)

The Skinny (2)

Another drawing, same idea. I think it looks blurry, I scanned it in though, so I'm not sure why it looks to weird. Anyway, same as before, made with pencil, charcoal, ink, and paint (8 1/2"x11"). 

The Skinny

Most recent finished drawing. I hope to make more like these. Maybe get a little series going and see what happens with it.

The image was originally drawn in pencil. But I wasn't getting my darks like I wanted. I tried charcoal and it was not working in my favor. It was then I grabbed a bottle of ink I had just sitting around. I don't one of those fancy ink dipping pens, so I just used a pen cap. I think it works rather well in the images. And lastly, I used oil paint for the white highlights.

Pencil, charcoal, ink, and paint.
