My study of Batman TAS Style

This summer I had the pleasure of teaching Bruce Timm's Batman TAS style to some students.  It was my first time seriously studying this style and trying to design a scene.  I have come to really appreciate this style and I will continue to study it later on.  The students also did fantastic learning this style!  Tune in next time.... same Bat Time, same Bat Channel! 

Caricature Night

 My friend Suzy Q sang at That's Amore last week.  She is a lovely singer and this is the caricature drawing of her I did during her performance and was singing "Stand By Me".  I hope to come back and draw more.

Fisherman Watercolor/Marker

 A friend of mine at church wanted a drawing of a fisherman by a body of water.  This was my first time in a while drawing with markers/watercolors and I am pleased with how it turned out.  I will be doing more of these types of drawings in cafes and restaurants.

 

My Charcoal Examples from teaching class.

 

This past month I taught middle schoolers how to draw full figure with charcoal and newsprint.  It was great to be back in traditional mediums and to guide the next generation of artists.  I was pleased to see how well the students improved within 1 week.  At the end of class I did one last drawing and I was pleased to see how much I had improved as an artist.  The journey keeps going!  

Leaf Falling

 As I teach students how to animate, I do the assignment with them.  It has been fun and educational for me to go through the same assignments with them that I did as a student.

Dinosaur Animation

So for a month I taught my classes how to animate a character in Adobe Animate.  We created the characters in Photoshop, then exported the character into Animate.  Added some Royalty-Free Sound too.

This was fun to design!
 

Mom's Piece for her Birthday!

 I was recently commissioned by a old time family friend to make the following illustration for my mom.  To be Honest, I had to let the Holy Spirit lead me on how to draw this one.
