I’ve decided that this will be my week four creative project, instead of the previous drawing I was working on that I had posted earlier on the week. I just really like how the dragon turned out, even as my very first foray into using crosshatching for shading. The other one might end up completed […]
Secrets of the 5-year-old’s samurai drawings
So last night, like every Tuesday night, my oldest son and I (and the youngest one, when he was capable of sitting still for more than ten seconds) sat down to watch Nova. This time the episode was Secrets of the Samurai Sword. You can tell that an episode is particularly good when the boy […]
Another reason to love Twitter: the randomness of cartoonists
A good number of popular webcartoonists have Twitter accounts these days. I follow a small sampling of these excellent creative individuals, and happened to catch onto something marvelous that came absolutely out of nowhere today. Rene Engstrom, the Swedish creator of the comic Anders Loves Maria, posted a tweet this afternoon: Ok Twitter! I’m taking […]
Sketchflood has a new home
Instead of posting my drawings over at Comicspace, I’ve decided instead to use the sweet new photoblogging WordPress theme, Monotone. Plus, in addition to posting my crazy drawings, I’ll also be posting the periodic photo, as well. It’s a win-win! Well, for me, at least. Check it out!
Two drawings today: Iron Boy!
In celebration of the Iron Man movie out in theaters (and getting great reviews, by the way), I’ve created a couple of quick drawings for this day’s creative burst: Iron Boy loves fighting, and Iron Boy hates fighting.
New Flash drawing: Green Monster
As part of my new draw and/or write every day, I’ve created this green monster. I started off simple, but then kept adding layers and lighter shades of green, and I couldn’t stop. I think there’s about 7 different green hues on that monstrosity (appropriate term!), but I like how it turned out. I might […]
I demand creativity from myself
It’s an adage as old as the practice of writing itself: if you want to be a good writer, you have to write every day. The same advice works for artists. I want to be a good writer. I also would love to be a good artist/designer. Let’s face it, I just want to be […]
New quick Flash drawing: Motorcycle Man
I drew this today. Not really sure why, he just popped into my head and wouldn’t go away until I entered him into my palette. I’m really wanting a Wacom these days. Until then, I make do. I might toss a few more creations into the dusty old Comicspace in the next few days, more […]
Drawing instead of writing…oops!
I should really be writing, I suppose. I wrote a measly 400 words Monday, and by Tuesday I was well over 3,000 words behind where I should have been. So in a flurry of writing, I got through another 1,200 words yesterday, so that I was within arm’s reach of the day six goal of […]
New webcomic posted today
I know that I “retired” from webcomickry over at Evil Avatar Comics, but I just can’t stay away. I have an itch to create poorly drawn comics, and I find that I can only do that in the relative safety of the Evil Avatar community. So, I created a new comic, called Metroid Concepts in […]
