Zombie's Book of Sketches

[ZombieChinchilla]

Thanks, Adam! I'm going to have a table at the Sci Fi Valley Con in Altoona, Pennsylvania in May. This is the fourth year they've done it, and I've gone all previous years as a guest but not an exhibitor. Walking around last year I found myself thinking I was either in line or better than a few of the exhibiting artists there, so I decided to take the plunge and go for it this year. I also want to have a webcomic going by then so that I can hopefully advertise it there. Fingers crossed.

I also realize I never answered your question from November about my paintings, haha. Yes, everything posted in here was done in oil. I've used acrylics somewhat, but barely. Just some quick fruit still lifes during high school. Something about acrylics just doesn't mesh with me, so I don't use them if I can help it. I can understand not wanting to jump headfirst into oils since they're so expensive, but I did for the class I took last semester and I really enjoyed it. I've always been a fan of traditional mediums, though, and something about oil just really fits my art style.

Okay, here's some more stuff. I did these figure drawings a few nights ago after discovering Croquis Cafe. I highly recommend it if you can't do life drawing sessions, it's really the next best thing! They're 20 minute videos of models in real time. They're not pictures, the models are actually breathing and moving slightly while you draw them. Suuuper nice.
