What do retired motorcycle instructors ride?

The answer to that of course is a Vespa!

Normally, I've made ever effort to post something every Sunday, but I was busy working on a caricature gig this past weekend and did not complete it until late last night. Haven't done one of these for a paying customer in quite some time. In the past, they have either been done as a pencil drawing or marker rendering, but I wanted to test drive my developing skills in photoshop painting. I'm waiting for approval from the victim... err... rather retiree to give me permission to post his picture so that anyone interested in knowing how close the likeness is will have something of reference.

Had to do the side too!

Skull Sketch and Studies

This past week I decided to do a sketch of a human skull. I searched the internet for my subject and found one that looked as though it had been unearthed after an uncertain number of years, maybe even a hundred or so. Maybe it was discovered along with artifacts from a long lost city?

I also went back in my sketch book knowing I've studied the skull before and found two studies I did way back in 1996. The study of the front facing skull was even labelled. How studious of me.

A Week of Peter De Seve Inspired Sketches

 Here are a number of sketches over the last week that were inspired from some of Peter De Seve's work.

Rat in a Suit

So I missed posting yesterday, but I had good reason. It was Thanksgiving, and I was too busy eating at our family's Thanksgiving get together. Another reason was that I've been working on a full colour rendering, and I wasn't quite finished yet. This piece was inspired by Peter De Seve's "Suit Mouse Hires. It was painted entirely in Photoshop, and in case you haven't been following, this marks my first colour piece!
