Return of the Dragon

Whats up all, just felt like sharing another sketch i finished recently. I ve been trying to draw a lot more and improve on my structure and shapes which would explain the lack of finished paintings lately. anyway i love Bruce Lee and i was satisfied with how this one turned out. the hands got kinda funny on me, but im just havin fun on this one so i ran with it. forgot it can be fun to just mess around and draw. I should be posting more stuff soon so stay focused, hope everyone enjoys.

Tapout

Ive fallen into another one of those drawing slumps again, but im slowly working my way out. this is the first drawing ive done in a few days that i'm happy with so i'm sharing. The caricature i did of my friend shawn a couple weeks back was a real big hit with his friends and family. So much so that his parents asked me to hook them up with caricatures too. his mom and dad, and their good friend Terry are awesome people so i'm more than happy to do it. anyway this is the sketch i'll be painting of my friend shawn's dad, Tapout.. i mean Andy. hope he digs the sketch as well as the final painting which i will be posting as soon as its finished. im kinda busy painting different things for different people so hopefully it wont take too long.

Progress...

One of my favorite things about doing art is the progress you make as an artist. There arent too many things you can do that constantly provide you with some sort of idea of how much you have improved. I just like the fact that i can go to work from 5 years ago, 2 years ago, or even a couple months ago and see some sort of change for the better. With that said this here is my good friend Shawn. I did a less than stellar caricature of him about 2 years ago which you can see here, and i thought i would give it another shot. If you clicked the link above i think you'll be able to see the difference in basically everything. on a side note, in addition to being my friend, Shawn is a HUGE star trek geek so i felt i had no option but to paint him in the star fleet uniform. he got a laugh out of it, hopefully you all will enjoy as well.

lucy liu

Did this for a monthly drawing contest on wittygraphy.com. for some reason i had a lot of trouble nailing her likeness, but hopefully it reads as her. i might do some more tweaking to it here and there but for now its on to the next one

Kobe Bryant

There will NEVER be another Michael Jordan. Period. but if anybody is gonna come close, my vote is for this guy

Dr Cornel West

Scarface

One of the best characters, played by one of the best actors, in one of the best movies of all time. probably doesn't have the same impact as it did in the late 80's but still a great movie. if you haven't seen it, make sure you do.
