A visitor to my studio would conclude that I must like mustard, judging from the number of empty bottles holding things. Mustard and piroulenes.
Apparently I like mustard a lot, since that’s where the majority of my tool-holdin’ bottles come from. Mustard and Piroulines.
A prelim sketch for an illustration.
You never know when you’ll end up in an enclosed space, listening to someone’s harrowing medical history. Let’s hope those are surgical hedge clippers.
More watercolor studies. Apologies for the slightly blurry(?) photo. These paintings are hard to photograph/scan well.
This was a lot of fun to draw because I just started in one corner and went to town. Like drawing maps when you were a kid. Here’s the old bridge, here’s a clearing in a stand of trees, here’s the volcano, etc.
I did have some trouble getting the scale of things to read – the big bunches of trees probably need more detail or shadow to establish their size. The little palm trees on the beach are supposed to help with that, but I don’t know how clear they are. Any critique/comments welcome.
Edit: Some details.
Could there be a secret hideout around here somewhere?
Ravine + flimsy bridge = impending drama.
Doodling a different look for Scooter and Micki. Colored pencil on watercolor paper.
Three attempts at a painting – top left and bottom are watercolor, top right is gouache. From the same series as the guy on the balcony, earlier. I can’t quite get the background color of the plane right, though I think the last version (the bottom watercolor) is on the right track.
