Love that green ship man, classic sci-fi feel on it.

Thanks dude :)

I was looking at lots of pulpy sci-fi book covers when I did it.

Trying out making my own anatomical reference models.

Urban landscape studies. Went with natural media today, brush and ink for the short ones and gouache for the long one. Hard work and poor results but its interesting to work without undos or colour pickers. If nothing else it helps you appreciate the convenience of photoshop.

It was a great reference image for studying skin folds and wrinkles.

Mig, you've got a great eye for shape! I especially like your pen and ink stuff. Keep it comin' homie!

Oh thanks, he is so cute. And there are a lot of wrinkles to study. :-D

Cheers :) I think doing the quick (1-5 minute) warm up sketches is really helping me see things in masses of light and shade.

Just bought some sweet new ink and brushes and have a lot of time on my hands, so plenty to come :)

Studies of an ear I made in plasticine.
Brush and ink and then moving on to the very unforgiving nib pen.

nice start, i like how you use markers and you seem to understand form well! making the ear was a good idea, maybe i will try this haha :p goodluck with 2013 :)

Thanks Oliver :) Definitely recommend cracking out the plasticine (or your preferred sculpting medium) if you are struggling with any area of anatomy. Might do a nose next.

Today's studies, ranging from 1 to 45 minutes. After yesterday's struggle with the dip pen I decided to stick to brush and ink.
