Moleskin Sketches!

It's been a while since I've posted anything art related or updated anything. I FINALLY got to do some sketches for fun. After work I usually work on more stuff thats work related or relax and watch something on Netflix, or play some Battlefield. Well Netflix just put out the LA Ink series, and i've never watched it before but I do like Kat Von D, so I just decided to watch it for the heck of it. I recommend it for any artist out there, it just motivated me to sketch while watching the show and it's honestly been a long while that anything motivated me to sketch. It's filled with artistic inspiration, even if it is a show about tattoos, its awesome, and I recommend it yo!

And now to show off a sketch.

I used the iPhone app Diptic to take the photos :P (too lazy to scan)

More to come as i clean them up a lil!

Booyah Work

Still more to come!

Angry Buddy

While waiting for my next task at work.... I quickly did this guy in 15 min..!

I posted it on my fb and I got a TON of likes and requests for moar!.... so I may be doing moar...! It's an Angry Birds of my bf.. I call it Angry Shoaib lol. 

(Done in Illustrator)

Poison Ivy Sketch

I work on this whenever i get the chance after work. And ive just been sketching and sketching and sketching here and there til i get it perfect. I still have more to go, like her costume and the background and the snake, etc. But here's my progress so far..

In the next few months I'm trying to do more fanart to give me practice sketching and painting, ALSO finally finish the bellydancer :P Sometimes i need to take a break from that and do something else so fanart is the way to go :D

Bellydancer Update

So I forgot to post this up a while ago, I'm actually still working on this and trying to color it up. For APE some friends suggested I keep it black and white, or give it a sepia tone, but i really wanna see this colored! O_O But i'll post what it looks like overall... with sepia.

I think it's one of my most detailed pieces of concept I've done. Mostly I do cartoony things for work etc, but I like that this is different from my other stuff. I obviously put in a ton of time into it. So here it isss not colored :). I'll post another update when it's fully colored and then you can tell me which you like best :P

Sketchessss

It's been a while since I've posted anything after APE!

I took the time to relax a bit and take a break cuz i was pretty burnt out, plus doing art at work lately has been nuts so my focus shifted to that. Here are some sketches I did the past week:

Poison Ivy

Princess Jasmine

I was in a crazy Princess Jasmine drawing mode the past 2 weeks so there are more sketches to come later. I wanted to be her for Halloween but didnt have the time to create a costume :( so sad.

Upon just randomly sketching yesterday i decided i wanted to draw Poison Ivy. I've decided to do some more fanart to practice my painting skills anyway. 

Post APE 2011

After a month long of no sleep and non-stop drawing painting and sketching for APE, it's over! It went by too fast it seems. It feels like a blurr!

But it was a total blast. Even if I was dead tired :P I met a TON of awesome ppl and for the first time my art was fully exposed to the public. So I was a little nervous at first but after I got over it, I had fun. I saw many familiar faces and met a bunch of artists, it's actually crazy how small the industry is, I met people that knew people I've worked with or gone to school with. There are so many talented people its both intimidating and motivating.

I even got interviewed by Geek Speak Radio Show and you can check out the interview here on YouTube! (Don't make fun! I was a lil nervous..)

They interviewed a lot of first timers at APE so be sure to check the rest of their interviews!

Overall it was a rewarding experience and an awesome place to make a ton of new artist friends and connections. Will i be doing it again? HELL YES. I'm considering doing Wondercon 2012 in Anaheim this year as well. So be sure to keep an eye out for that if i get a booth :P

I'll post up more pictures as soon as i get them....... since i didnt take my own :(

UPDATE!!! Pictures taken by my cousin!

Here is me at mah booth #420 :P (note the candy!)

I had the a helmet on display along with postcards with info on getting your own helmet painted on.

My amazing brothers and cousins who came to support.

ETSY Shop now open! :D
