30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 9

Meet Cecil

  After yesterday’s painting of a retro pinup girl watercolor painting, I thought I would do another one with that same vibe.  The photo reference I used for this painting caught my eye because it included one of my favorite cartoon characters, Cecil.  He is one of the stars of The Beany & Cecil show.  This cartoon originally ran from 1959-1962 and then made a brief return in the late 80’s by the creator of Ren & Stimpy.  Needless to say, when I saw this photo I had a bit of a mind blown moment and quickly saved it and filed it away for possible use in the future.

Figure Drawing Fridays-Week 1

Figure 5_27bFigure 5_27a

decided to start a new theme for Friday and that is Figure Drawing Fridays. The goal will be to draw a male and female each week. Any style or media goes. Last night I worked on these two with ink and markers.  As I started to prepare to draw, I decided to look at some books of two artists I really admire, Frank Cho and Adam Hughes.  They are both known for their comic book artwork and for their skills at drawing the female form.  And that put me in the kind of head space I wanted to try for this week’s figures.  I am very inspired by Adam’s use of markers and that is what had me reaching for my markers for these two pieces.
