sketches to post

so! i got a few minutes to do... i dunno what with, so i decided i should post a few of my droorings that i've managed to squeak out here and there over the last few weeks in between work and shorts and getting ready for WonderCon. below are a few quick pieces i did for the Sketch Dailies twitter account this month. they were fun warmups to do, so hopefully i can squeeze in a few more here and there. i think the prompts are pretty obvious, but i'll type them above each drawing:

honey badger:

Ursula:

Sherlock Holmes:

thanks for swinging by!

Scooby sketches

one night on Twitter, i asked the people what i should draw. it's always fun to hear what people think would look cool drawn in your "style". so i got a suggestion to draw the Scooby Doo gang, and i did just that. though, instead of drawing one large picture, i decided to break it up into a nightly themed drawing challenge. it was fun to draw these guys since i never have. here's what i came up with and posted on Instagram as my reditions of the characters. thanks for the great response over the last week or so!

Scooby Doo

Shaggy

Daphne

Fred

Velma

thanks for checkin' them out! hope you like 'em!

1980s Villains week!

So like last week, I decided to generate a theme for my daily sketches. I find it keeps me focused and responsible to keep posting fresh drawings that are unrelated to work stuff. However, unlike last week, I decided to save the daily posts here until Friday to share. Although, I did post them everyday on Instagram and Twitter (both @optik2010). Here's what I've got for ya:

Monday
Gargamel from The Smurfs

Tuesday
Mumm-Ra from Thundarcats

Wednesday
Magica De Spell from Ducktales

Thursdaybr> Skeletor from He-Man

Friday
King Koopa from Super Mario Bros.

90s Chicks 05

And to conclude my theme for the week, I decided to draw Gadget from Rescue Rangers!

90s Chicks 04

Patty Mayonnaise from Doug!

90s Chicks 03

Carmen Sandiego!

90s Chicks 02

Sailor Moon!

90s Chicks 01

Decided to start up a theme to draw to this week. Gonna draw up some classics cartoon girlies from the 1990s. First up, I decided to go with Angelica Pickles from good ol' Rugrats! Hope ya dig my take:

Avengers Week Drawing 04

FINALLY! tonight's the big night and i get to watch the Avengers movie in all of it's glorious awesomeness (so i've heard). i thought i'd end my drawing challenge with The Hulk for the week. simple characters are always harder to make "your own", but here's what i came up with. this is The Hulkling:

Avengers Week Drawing 03

i never thought i'd see the day that i would bang out a Thor drawing. he's generally not on my top favorite superheroes to draw, but staying true to Avengers week, here is my version of Thor as a wee tot! hope ya dig it!

Avengers Week Drawing 02

welp! here's the second installment for the week of drawing Avenger kids. hope ya dig it as much as you all did the Kid Captain America. today i went with the legendary Ironman. of course when designing him as a kid, what else does one call him other than Iron Lad?

Avengers Week Drawing 01

today i had an idea to draw up some of the Avengers for everyday leading up to the movie coming out this week. i'm sure every artist out there has the same idea, so to make mine a little different, i envisioned the way my friends and i would play them when we were kids. today i felt it fitting to start with Marvel's first avenger: Captain America... as a kid. "Kid Cap" if you will! hope ya dig:
