Great Uncle – part 2

A long time ago, I posted a photo of Audie and Tash. I re-discovered it, and decided to try and paint it. The original photo is here and this is my version of it below…

A couple of weeks ago I was in Calgary. It was a sunny, warm day, and even though there was lots of snow still on the ground, Natasha and one of her friends were outside, doing typical kids in the summertime stuff.

I wanted to re-do an old picture I did years ago of Gollum (from Lord of the Rings) on a skateboard.  I think it was painted on an scrap piece of drywall, and I think I gave it to Graham, and I’m actually not sure if it was ever really finished.  This is more demon-ish than gollum-ish, but I had fun anyway.

Abby and FriendAlmost everyone knows the big reason I watch NCIS is because I’m infatuated with Abby.  Just for fun, I tried to come up with a picture of her and her farting hippo.  What can I say?

Too cold to be outside

So I’m stuck inside having fun doing some digital artwork.  So what do I draw?

Something warm and tropical one would think, but I decided on snow.  Here’s the WonderDog goofing around.

I’ve had the urge to start doing some of that artsy-fartsy stuff over the last few months.  So when the kids asked what I wanted for Christmas, I said a couple of tubes of paint, or paint brushes, or something like that.  I  just have to buy a few more colours now, and I’m  gonna start some practice stuff soon.

In the meantime, while waiting for Christmas (always a kid) I bought a new drawing tablet for my computer, because my old one was starting to skip.  Then I found a cool painting program called ArtRage that simulates real paint (well as close as you can get, with a computer anyway)

Here’s one of my humble attempts in the digital method – sorry FaceBookers – don’t know how this will show up there, you might have to click away from Facebook for a moment… (oh no! … Gasp! what if I can’t get back? AaaRGGH! what should I do? click on the view original post thing in Facebook) Read the rest of this entry »

I think it’s probably grandpa rules to treat everyone the same.  Here’s a sketch of Jack.  I wonder if the finger is aimed at me… Read the rest of this entry »

There’s good things and bad things about being obsessive-compulsive. As I admitted in the previous post, I can slip into that state occasionally. More often than not, it happens when I decide that something has to be done, that is probably non-essential, time consuming and serves no real purpose. Read the rest of this entry »

A little bit of manga

I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw using the anime or manga technique. I was fascinated with the style long before it became as popular as it is in North America now. I didn’t know that it was called “anime” or “manga”, but I found the fantasy, cartoon-like images to be captivating. Read the rest of this entry »
