peanut in chaps part 3 – character dev… CED 2014 episode 73

Today is day 72 of the create every day challenge 2014.  Where I draw, or paint or digitally paint or do some sort of digital painting or what not every week day of the year.

Still working on this peanut guy for a beer label to get closer to something I am happy with for a final layout.  I have a few more sketches ahead of me.  Backstory?  Peanut in chaps sketches here, and beer drinking peanut in chaps sketch 2 here.  Obviously none of these are finished… its a glimpse into my head and my “sketchbook” on how I come up with ideas.  A lot of folks think that is just BAM draw it once and done but my best things I do are always very well planned out and have a ton of research.  One thing I have learned… be careful with the google search “assless chaps” things go south real quick.  Also, Im pretty sure all chaps are assless.

Rusty’s Ring Dunk – Aggieland – CED 2014 day 64 ish

Today is day 64 of the create every day challenge 2014.  Where I draw, or paint or digitally paint or do some sort of digital painting or what not every week day of the year.

My cousin Rusty is going to graduate Texas A&M eventually – and its getting closer and closer!  In April he dunks his ring – and we will all be there.  He asked me to do a flyer for him – so here it is.

Today is day 56 I think… of the create every (now almost) day challenge 2014.  Where I draw, or paint or digitally paint or do some sort of digital painting or what not every week day of the year.

So in my last post I explained what has had me offline for 3 days.  Tonight, I worked up an illustration inspired by a friend of mine who calls Lemon Juice – “Juice”.   yeah that guy.  So I got to thinking, Juice might need a leather vest some day, and he might need a patch on the back.  So when he does, because oh yes, he will… Here it is.  Dogs of Anarchy style.

Create (almost) every day challenge day 53, 54, 55

So, Ive been posting EVERY DAY of the year so far, something “creative”.  When I defined the challenge I was thinking sketches, ideas, things like that.  Well, what I find happening is I cant stop at the idea and I spend hours on something that I intended to take 20 minutes, and a lot of my family time gets taken up in the process.  I have been balancing fine so far but, on Saturday we got a new addition to team Art Ranch – Lemon Juice ( Lemmy ) VanSingel.  He is a French Bulldog and he is awesome.

He is also only 8 weeks old so he is pretty much like having a baby around… although more furry and a lot less work.  Any how, I missed out on the challenge this weekend… but I am back at it.  I am changing things up a bit and will do a new post ever WEEK DAY… so I get Saturday and Sunday to work on other stuff.

So, here you are, Lemon Juice (Lemmy)
