WIP: KnatBoard (2)

Second, KnatBoard design idea. Relatively happy with it. Not sure exactly what I'm looking for with it. 

WIP: Ape KnatBoard

Started this guy sometime last week. Originally it was suppose to look like an yeti, but that quickly change and it just looks more like an Ape. Anyway, this is my first sketch at the idea.

Got the sketch on the board and working on the image. I've already finished the board, so those photos will be up soon. 

KnatBoard (test)

Drew this up today. Its just sharpie marker on wood. Not sure how I feel yet about this design, but it is a working idea for potentially branding my work. So we'll see what happens.

WIP: What?

Rough sketch for my next board. Once again it will be in ink like the Where? board. I may or may not change this image, but not sure yet. We will see what happens. I currently have other projects going on as well, so hopefully I'll get to this sometime soon :)

WIP: Where?

I am pretty stoked with this board. The line work is exactly what I wanted. It just looks clean and crisp. This is what I want to go back and do to Who?

WIP: Who?

Got this guy going awhile ago. I did not like the painted version of this board, so I spray painted that board and began working on this one.

The ink never fully dried so I had to make the smudge ink work with the board... Not sure how I feel about it, but I'll share the final image. 

I'm planning on doing a set of boards using Who, Where, What, When, and Why. This was the first one I attempted, however I may be changing it later.

WIP: Who?

Got this board going today as well. I was in love with the sketch however, not so sure about the board yet...

I guess I just wish the face was bigger and the colors were more pronounced. I plan to keep working on it to hopefully get it there.

ArtDeckCo Board

Started this the other night. Normally when I am doing a painting on canvas I like to work with organic shapes on a larger canvas and then limit my color palette. 

My skateboards have been a little different, so I thought I'd mix it up a little. Anyway, this is what I got out of it... I used a plastic knife for the black lines and the shape itself. 

After working on it, I realized that this just was not what I wanted over all, so I sprayed the board an ivory white and started over. This was earlier today while watching Scream. I tried doing just the back space before getting into the body of the figure. 

This is my almost final product. Still working on it though. The bottom 'limb' looks like a penis (in my opinion) which is not what I was going for, so that will need to be changed. Other than that, I want the figure to carry more detail, so I need to go in and work on that as well. 

WIP: Jeanette II

I started Jeanette II today, and so far I'm pretty excited about it.

This is my rough sketch before applying color:

Close ups of what I've got so far:

Last bit that I have finished so far. The purple was coming up a lot lighter than I wanted, so I had to lay it on thick and a few times, so I am currently just waiting for that to dry before adding any additional shading and doing the tentacles.

WIP: Theodore

Took this photo last night, had a late night painting session and ended up finishing the board! Did not plan on that happening. I sat down sometime between 8 and 9pm and stopped around 2am. It was a needed session for sure though. 

I will definitely be posting photos soon! Just need to upload and edit. 

WIP: Theodore

Actually took an in progress picture today. Got an outline going before I start in with the details. 

Beginning: Andrew

Began this sketch today for a new board idea. The idea and elements involved were inspired by a new friend. Excited to get working on it soon and to see what happens with it!
