update bird king process

I received some gracious help from Bill Carman about how to go about adding color to this.  He really helped me get moving.  This is close to how I envisioned this, but not quite.  I'm going to do a few more of these to figure this out.  so far there are things I really like that I'm doing, and other things I'm still completely lost on.

anyway, here is this update, for now.

better boogar...a sketchbook post

Today's sketchbook topic was "something green".  I imagined blue trolls comparing green boogars.  I threw some color on this quickly, but I may paint the original piece in my book in acrylic.  we will see?

sketch book post

well, It's been awhile since I drew in my sketchbook.  I usually sketch in a sketchbook every sunday during church, but as far as my regular sketchbook goes, I haven't been faithful.  for shame.

I was doing a business card design for my father in law that involved cowboy hats.  I've only drawn a handful of them before so it was fun.  I couldn't help but draw a head under one.  

not sure what was going on with me here.  the face is weird, but somehow I still like this...


I'm committing to a themed drawing every day, and the first day happened to be a mythical creature.  I decided to recreate a gryphon.  no wings, but kept the lion body, and used an owl head instead.  Hadn't seen one of those yet, although I'm sure it has been done.
