Sketch Book 2013 day 2


Here are a couple more sketches for day 2.

The first one is very rough but I wanted to get it down on paper.
I have to apologize for the image quality... The pencil lines are pretty light and my cell camera was having a hard time. 
I spent the better part of the day helping my son set up our old desk top Computer in his room. He wants to use it for games. Well we haven't used that one much lately and after hours of updates it finally is up and running. 

So looking at the below you might be thinking how do cows relate to computers??

The layout is a view of a Window looking out into a country setting with Apple Trees and Cows. Some of the cows are munching on apples from the crates below the trees and one rather inquisitive cow is peeking in the window at us. 
On the inside of the window we have a desk with various items strewn about. 

The Idea here is all about view point. Every element in the picture is a reference to personal computers just from a different viewpoint. If you are a tech geek like me you might be able to pick up some of them without any hints. 

Some the references are easier to get than others.
The Window = Microsoft
The cows = Gateway
The Apple Trees and crates = Apple 
The potted flower is a Lotus 
The Coffee mug has a Dell logo and is a reference to Java
The globe next to the mug will have the Old IBM logo
The baseball cap has a Commodore Logo. 
Next to the globe an Abacus the worlds first computer 

The first sketch is very rough and loose. But if I'm gonna attempt to paint this one I have to practice drawing a cow or two... below is my first detailed go.

Sketchbook 03.25.13: Disney / JLA mash up

Image
A coworker asked me if I would do a sketch for a young man at her church who is autistic. He recently went through an operation and was having some difficulty. She was hoping to give him something to get his mind off the procedures he was going through. I asked what type of things he liked and she told me he was a huge Disney Fan and Donald Duck was his favorite character. So I started kicking ideas around in my head of what type of drawing to do. I pulled some old animation references for Donald's Facial expressions and remembered how angry He was and just how many funny situations that put him in. He was always yelling incoherently... Don't ask how but some how I pictured Donald in the Christian Bale Batman role. I guess it was his voice or something. One thing led to another and you have Donald "The Duck Night". I wanted to team him up and figured if Donald was Batman... then Mickey had to be Superman. Plus looking at all the old school Mickey reference just...

Sketchbook 4.21.2013 - Distance

I picked up a few of the new PrismaColor Brush tip markers I have to say that I'm extremely Happy. I've always sketched with pencil even when I'm planning out an idea for a painting. Then I have to figure out the colors. I did the above sketch all in marker. In much the same way I would have painted it. This one was done on a sketch card 3.5" x 2.5" so it will be a handy reference size. ©TCDART 2013 ** All fan art is copyright to the original creators of the characters.
