Leftovers

Extra sketches I had left over that I scanned and threw up here since i feel bad I didn't draw today. So many things going on, and you can only do so much to resolve them (all of them do not include drawing).

"Life won't wait"

Is one of my favorite Rancid cd's along with "out came the wolves". The idea(Life won't wait ) seems to be more predominantly relevant than it has ever been in my life. Theres just not enough hours in the day to do all the things that you want to do in the day. Working 6 consecutive

13 hour days does not help.

Also I finally uploaded a reel of some of my 3d at the following link, if anybody wants to check it out. http://www.vimeo.com/1593414 The stuff is really outdated but its all I have now. Could of been nice to have maya though to add some lighting and textures to some of the stuff.

Still updating whatever

Not my favorite batch of doodles from the last 2 weeks but I lost the ones I was going to post. I forgot them at work and someone must of thrown them away. But its ok I'm use to my boss throwing away my drawing and taking down my demos and ripping them up. No time for color haven't had much time for anything else. I mean I work 13 hours a day plus the commute time that eats into my life of getting there and coming back. While on my days off this weekend I went to san diego to draw for a gig. All this time Im really upset for not updating my deviant account. Since my boss won't read this I'm also looking at other opportunities and hopefully one will open up before the end of the summer.

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

Some people i saw at work

These were all done at work with a markette at work. Then a couple of them were quickly colored in photoshop. Also Im posting on Deviantart under davidreyes.deviantart.com
