Kirkstall Abbey Arch WIP1

Starting up a new large format drawing... Kirkstall Abbey Archway.  This is about the third sitting to get this far. Now the perspective should be correct and I can start laying in basic values.

The Dead... completed

it's done... a small piece, 6"x7.5" but I am happy with it.

the dead- WIP

working up one last dark piece for the autumn season... The Dead.  It was a challenge to mimic a burlap type texture convincingly but after a few test tries... I'm happy with the result so far. We will see how this goes as it progresses.  Thanks for stopping by. -db

I got a rock....

nothing serious... just a fun little parody doodle for the Halloween season.

skull drawing

I had to try to get at least one Halloween type drawing done before the end of the month.

Look at Frosty Go... Holiday Card Design 2016

Sometimes they just come out of dreams.  This one woke me up and i had to sketch it right then and there or else I would lose it in my sleep.  Glad I did that.

In the Bleak Mid Winter... Holiday Design 2016

Well, I'm calling this one done.  We shall see what some distance does to see if it makes the cut for this year's card. Thanks for stopping by.  -db

Bleak Midwinter WIP 2

Getting close to calling this drawing done... I have no idea what to do with it after the snow is done... I have tried a few colorings and no good solutions yet.  We shall see. Perhaps some time will reveal a solution.

another holiday card illustration: Sheep Work in Progress

So, I'm working up an additional holiday card illustration. This one is really squeaky tight. Sheep in snow... sort of a bleak midwinter vibe.  Still a long way to go, but here is what i have so far.  Thanks for stopping by.
