Storyboards

My friends make movies. I often draw their storyboards. Have a look at these two purposeful projects.

Life

Cardinal

Usually I draw and then color with the help of some Adobe software. This time I colored digitally, printed, drew the black in with a Sharpie, and scanned it back in.

Some Small Portraits

For a business card, for a friend.

Something quick:

Jokes on Me

I did this for a job, as well:

But can I tell you a secret?

I didn't realllly mean to plagiarize him so badly. My drawing was for a field guide. It feels good to come clean. Brian Bolland is arguably the best line-drawer in the Batman world, and inarguably one of my favorite comic book artists ever. And seriously, if you've never read The Killing Joke, prioritize; it's the origin story for the Joker.

His name is Dante

Three different drawings for three different cards for the Rye Nature Center.

Hey everyone!

I know I haven't posted in a while, it's been such a crazy week! I graduated college and moved into a new apartment in Connecticut. I also need a new scanner. I don't mean to make up excuses, but I just didn't want anyone to think I died or stopped drawing, because neither of those is true.

In conclusion, I'll be back.

Love,
Adam

SIXTY-SEVEN

I painted that drawing, Russ. 12x12 acrylic on canvas.

SIXTY-SIX

Russ Barrnett drew for me his boxer, Gibson. I really think it bares quite the resemblance.

SIXTY-FIVE

Something that happened in my notebook that I kind of liked:

SIXTY-FOUR

A sleeping classmate:

SIXTY-THREE

For the fans of post number fifty-three, I present the colored rendition. I used the same process here as I do for my Asiago, drawings: graphite by hand and then digital color.

I'm particularly happy with those little sparkles in the water. I did them with the Photoshop gradient tool. Here are my settings:

SIXTY-TWO

SIXTY-ONE

Although this blog was designed exclusively for the purpose of my artwork, I'd like to introduce all of my readers to another child of mine: songwriting. Just to get an idea of the sorts of things I do when I'm not drawing, here is an .mp3 demo of a tune I wrote, and with the help of Kari Spieler, recorded. Let me know your thoughts! I promise I'll go back to illustration and visual meandering tomorrow.

If you liked post# 34, then I think you'll be excited to see the finished product:

This was shot with 35mm film, and is part of my final project for "Printing Color Photo." Thank you, Sam (again) for modeling (again).

Asiago Preview

Just posted a sneak peek video!

Another sketch with the same purpose:

I borrowed this character from Asiago.

I'll let you know when a more finished version of these sketches run.

A preliminary sketch I did for a newspaper ad:
