memory sketch and some doodles.






Ill skip the diary this time and just keep trying to update once a week. First drawing is a memory sketch and the rest are small doodles from work done with a marker. The last two drawings are sketches I will eventually color and post on my deviant account. Davidreyes.deviantart.com

Drawings between work drawings.








Im just trying hard to remain consistent on posting weekly. All of these are from work. The first five are from walk by's from people inside the park. Ive been trying to just really generalize the people I see. I usually look at them for a sec and try to rememeber what I can and make up the rest. One thing that Ive been trying to stick by when coloring is not to spend more time than it actually took me to draw the drawing which is maybe a about a minute or two but since Im slow at coloring and I dont have a fancy wacom tablet like everybody else its been taking me about 10 -15 minutes to color these. Oh yeah and there were also drawn with markets.




The last thing on here are a few profiles that I did at work. Hopefully ill be able to buy a digital camera before the end of the summer so I can post actual inpark drawings of guest. The good thing is that I feel that Im lossening up again(with my actuall park sketches that I sell). At the beggining of the season I had a my boss watch me like a hawk criticizing me at every opportunity about how goofy my drawings are and that I need to draw more conservative and make the customer happy. At the beggining of the season I was actually drawing people really safe and keeping it cute and that was still too edgy for him. I was really frustated because I was forced to practice my mediocre sketch and it really reflected on this blog for a bit. But now it seems that he has backed off and Ive been feeling like im lossening up alot more again. Maybe it was working with my old seaworld buddy bill drastal. I promise myself to get alot loser and fucken draw real cartoons none of this quick wannabee watered down portraitures. Well maybe Ill draw something more realistic in the future just to prove to myself that I can.




Ill try to post in my deviant account soon. In the meantime theres a little sketch before this post.

Concept


Heres a concept for a character that I did at work a few months ago and re-hatched while looking through all my junk. My awesome boss was cool enough to almost throw away the original marker drawing that I did at work. The reason I didn't post the original was because it was too big to scan. So I ended up drawing it again. The original version was better according to my brother since it looked more like was deteriorating. When he said that it made me remember that, that was the direction i was actually going for. The mistake that I made when redrawing it was that I was trying to make it a cleaner and easier to read, and in the process made it more healthy looking like warrior hog type creature. I want this character in the end to convey a feeling that it has already been in the battle field and that it was one of the last survivors left somewhere in the middle of a endless desert, slowly decomposing while it still remained concious and still walking and fighting to remain alive. Ill post the finished version at davidreyes.deviantart.com
