Trick or Treat Sketch


This was sketched on paper then scanned in and redrawn on the iPad.  Happy Halloween... in a month...

Free Bird Drawing

This is a quick painting I did on the iPad while at a dodgeball game.  This painting is of Free Bird which is one of the limited animals in a free iPad app called Tree World.  I always thought the design was cute so I wanted to draw it.

Blue Dude Sketch

This is a random sketch I did on the iPad and it was my first experiment with the mirroring tool in the SketchClub app.  Also this is when I discovered the text tool in SketchClub, which is fun but very hard to control.  You type the text you want into the control panel and then use it as a brush on the canvas.  The words repeat and the size varies according to how fast you move the stylus.

League of Legends Lolz Contest

Here is a comic I created for the League of Legends Lolz contest.  This comic stars Udyr, Xin Zhao, Lee Sin and Malphite who are all junglers in the League of Legends and often used by the squishy mages to get blue buff.  LeBlanc makes a guest appearance as the female mage with deadly charms.  This comic is a bit rough because I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to enter the contest and then finally the day before the deadline I decided to go for it after I got off work.  So it's not as polished as I would have liked.

Screaming Girl Design

This is a character design for a girl in a 3D project that Jake and I were thinking about starting.  We were playing around with an idea for a series of really short 3D shorts and this nameless klutz was going to be one of the main characters.  We have benched that project for now though.

Wizard for Jake

Hello.  It has been a long time since my last post and for that I apologize.  I just graduated from Huntington University in mid May and then my husband and I had to pack up the apartment and move back home while we look for jobs.  Now that I'm back at home I no longer have access to the Cintiqs and scanners at HU so I haven't been doing a good job of updating this site.  However Jake's parents did give him an iPad for graduation and so I have begun sketching again on that.

It's a lot different trying to sketch on the iPad.  We got this awesome app called Sketch Club and it is pretty great.  It is hard to get used to the stylus which has a really wide, soft rubber tip and so isn't very accurate.  The trickiest part though is remembering not to let my hand touch the screen when I'm drawing since whenever there are two points of contact the image starts rotating and moving.  However with a little practice I think it will work really well.

So the above is my first real drawing with the Sketch Club app.  I asked my husband what I should draw and he asked for a wizard that looked like the main character in the anime Black Blood Brothers.  Color palate was also Jake's choice.
