iPad Sketching at the Mall

I know I haven't posted anything in quite sometime. Mainly cause FB has sort of taken over all my posts. So anyway, I figured I'd throw something on here finally. lol. :P Here's a couple of sketches I did at the mall recently on my iPad. These were drawn with my finger. I actually would've had more to post.. but I accidentally saved over them. *Note to self* Always 'export' drawings to Camera Roll so I don't save over an old drawing. :P

Quick 6 minutte sketch.

This was a quick 6 minute sketch of Justin Peters. @ Ter: I know you asked me in an earlier post of Justin Peters of why I took it down.. and it was because I wasn't satisfied with it.. and wanted to draw him again. He didn't ask me to take it down. lol. ;D Anyway, for those who don't know Justin. I have some videos of him below if you scroll down to one of the earlier blogs or click here. He was out here in Australia not too long ago.. and it was awesome to meet him. He was a very kind & godly loving man. He's lives for Christ & pleads with people to open up their eyes to discernment.
P.S. My computer has been down. So, I've been catching up with cleaning up my office, house, etc. Sorry for the lack of art! lol. I'm getting back to work now soon... and shall have more to share. :) yaay!

Paul Washer - from Heart Cry Ministries

Paul Washer - I love it when he preaches and/or teaches. I drew up a quick sketch inbetween work.. so I could post this with one of his videos for all to hear. The main reason I like listening to him.. is because he's so honest! VERY HONEST! He's not a wimp.. he's bold & he's real! I rarely hear anyone preach like him. He's definitely a gem in this world. Here in the video below.. he talks about how his life got stirred up to do what he does today.

Drawing my Hand

okay.. so, today I thought I'd practice hands. Now.. normally I tend to draw them by looking at books. I prefer George Bridgeman & Burne Hogarth normally.Their books rock! Very informative if you wanna do hardcore studying on the human body. And who could forget Tom Richmond's Mad Magazine Caricatures he does as well.

This time.. I used my own hand. I figured since my hands are always available for modeling.. I may as well draw them.. right? It's could to warm up your hand eye coordination before you go jumping into other things. Practice! Practice! Practice! :D
LOL! Yes, my hands are a bit boney.. which makes it tough to draw. The meatier your hands... I think.. the easier it is to draw. I had to fake a bit of meat on my hands so you could see the volume better. Woman's hands tend to be pointy at the fingertips normally anyways.. so I find it to be tougher to get good dimensions from my own hands generally. But I did my best for now.

All Drawn With: Pencil

You can see how I proggression took place as I kept drawing. That's the only way to get better.. is not give up & keep moving forward (even when you mess up). The form of the hand has so many parts to it.. and it really is incredible when you see how your own hand can be manipulated into so many forms. Hands are fun to draw!
Our bodies are so intricately made. It's a wonder how our bodies can work in so many ways. So to turn a blind eye to the truth that God intelligently designed us is to be senseless & bewildered.

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,"
(Romans 1:20)

Kevin Arnold & Paul Pfeiffer - Wonder Years

Wow.. I wonder where have the years gone? okay.. so I thought I'd try a go at Fred Savage and Josh Saviano. Just to practice my quick sketches. I'll start trying out more celebrity ones for the future. But for now here's 2 80's celebs.

Drawn With: Copic Marker - Brush Pen

If you're ANYTHING like Kevin Arnold's character was in the Wonder Years... you are like the rest of us *Guilty* in breaking God's Commandments.

Jesus said: "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."(Matthew 5:28)

Hence, the need for a savior (The only One who can save us from our sins), Jesus Christ.

Justin Peters

Justin was here in Australia this past Sunday.. and I got to meet him! :D I was so excited cause I always miss all the best "Guest Speakers" cause they tend to all stay in the states. I totally forgot to take a picture with him though.. ah-well. He's an awesome man of God. I'm telling you.. man.. I was balling my eyeballs out by then end of the service. It was such a powerful message! Wish I coulda video taped it.

Anyways, here's Todd Friel interviewing Justin Peters on Wretched TV:


Here's a preview of one of his videos - "A Call For Discernment":

For the record, he DOES beleive that God still works miracles.. but God does it when He wants to.. but if He has a plan for a person to have any type of illness - He has allowed it to happen for a Reason... as such with Justin Peters' disease. God works through Justin to Glorify His(God's) Name.

"So the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.” (Exodus 4:11-12)

Birthday Sketch 4 Barbie!!!

Well, here's a sketch I drew for Barbie. Done in Pencil. It's weird After ALLLL this time.. 5-6 years or more.. I don't think I've ever drawn her. She's the one doing all the hard work behind the scenes for Keelan. (my boss at Disney)
Now that I'm down-under in Australia.. I have to keep sharpening up my skills 4 when I visit. Working at Disney was a whole lot of fun & it really keeps you on your toes with a job like that. Your never have to warm-up because your constantly drawing.. not to mention drawing FAST! (well drawing fast, at least most of the time.) :^)

Sketchbook - Cartoon Lion

Well, here's a before & after shot I drew of a Lion. Animals can be fun to draw. I figured I'd color it in Photoshop. I think it looks better now.

Sketchbook - Figure Studies

I don't think learning the names of everything is necessary, but.. it may come in handy someday so it's good to learn.

It's always nice to go back and do figure studies. It reminds you of what's underneath the skin.. when you're in the zone of simplifying your drawings all the time. I just think it's great to do both.
