This is possibly the most beautiful door I've ever seen.
I've noticed that doors show up pretty frequently in my sketchbook. I'm sure there's some deep seated psychological reason for this -- security, portals of entry, potential mystery -- but since I tend to draw them in the fall I'm pretty sure it all comes back to trick-er-treating.

Playing with more panoramic pictures. (Alliteration is sorta fun!)

Recent Sketch: Panning Background

Giving a 360 pan layout a try. Little too heavy on the wall/corner distortion, but I think that's fixable.

Another little iso study. A little more technical than the last one (you can see that I ticked off the base layer into units)

Recent Sketch

Playing with isometric perspective layouts.
Not something I typically use for my projects, but kinda cool.

On another note -- where did the last couple weeks go?! I've been working away on a series of YA novel covers (and interiors), and apparently have completely neglected this blog. I'll work to correct that.

Headed out to the Air and Space Museum in McMinville this weekend. Never been before. If you're a fan of machines that hurtle people through the air at wildly inappropriate speeds you should definitely take time for a visit.
I'll be posting some pages over the next couple days.

Looking to do some work on my house and had to head down to the planning and zoning department.
Always a good time (ø_ø) plus I was able to get some sketching while I waited and waited and  . . .

I have a great book of Fantastic and Mythological Creatures. These are just some of my interpretations.

Stepped out for lunch yesterday at my favorite Thai place and did a sketch while waiting. It isn't much too look at from the outside but sooooo tasty.

A sketch based on drawings done at the Natural History Museum in London.
I might have romanticized it a bit -- but not much -- such a cool building!

I can never spend too much time drawing hands and feet -- or children.
