My eyes..they hurt

So friggen badly. It's probably from the computer monitor, or the way my desk light gets reflected BACK into my face when I'm drawing. Either way..I'm totally stoked to see that my phone can post updates.

I LOVE THE MOTOROLA DROID!

Even though I kinda want the new r2d2 droid.

Anyways, so the last entry was just a picture of my sketchbook and the sketch I was working on. I got off my lazy butt this "morning" (I woke up at noon) and scanned in the drawing and my sketchbook.

Here they are, later today or tomorrow I'll post the digitally inked/colored versions.

Also thanks to Rita for ALWAYS commenting, unlike the rest of you lurkers.

And here's the same exact thing, just twisted so you don't have to crane your neck to see.

And here's the final sketch below.

So yea..

This weekend I had to go to a wedding in Hoboken. On the plus side, free food. On the down side, mass during the wedding ceremony. Oh, and I danced. I danced more than I have since middle school when the running man and cabbage patch kid where still in. Don't fuck with my kid n' play.

So yea, too busy to do anything but do wedding crap all weekend to draw. Here's the update, lemme know what you think.

A Process...

Ok, so today I'll be drawing later, but since I didn't have to work I'm going to be updating now and blahblahblah you don't care. Anywho, this update is going to show how I work from start to finish. I'm only going to post the process of 1 painting up here and on my facebook "fan" page I'll be posting this update AND another painting from beginning to end. If you wanna see it click on the little facebook icon thing on the right. Anyways without further adieu, here goes nothin'!

I usually draw everything on paper first, with color ideas and title ideas:


Then I draw it out onto canvas using a regular pencil:


Then...painting:
