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

Category: telegraph office Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 2 Comments

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.

Peanut in Chaps… sketches for WIP beer label CED 2014 day 71

Today is day 71 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.

So, tonight I share a bit more insight on what it takes to make a final drawing/painting/whatnot.  Mostly because I only had time for sketch ideas.  Working on a beer label – it involves peanuts.  and chaps.  Turns out its really hard to figure out how chaps fit on a peanut.  anyhow, here are a few sketches on something I am working on.  Ile post the final label when finished.  this is VERY rough for now, but its gets my ideas on paper… or pixels, or whatever.

Something just for fun – my Conway T-Pain Mix Tape – CED2014 day 16

Category: Uncategorized Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a Comment

Today is day 16, in my create something every day challenge 2014.  – I draw or paint something and post it every day of the year.  So far, so good although my hands are starting to hurt.   The theme this month is “Past, Present, and Future”.  -and speaking of hands, I did not do a hand study tonight, back tomorrow likely with that.

Tonight I did something ridiculous.  I guess its just, well – my kind of night.  (ouch, sorry).  I found something in my truck, while going down a dirt road, headed to a rural location, near a body of water, with a six pack of beer, after I had my catfish dinner – and here it is.  The infamous T-Pain / Conway mix tape.

T-Pain / Conway mix tape.

winner winner, catfish dinner T-Pain / Conway mix tape.

Obviously this is a joke.  the thought of such a tape is pure absurd.  But if popular country music in 2013 has anything to day about it – this is the American Dream.  NOTE TO NEW VIEWERS – this is NOT a critique of country music.  I love all sorts of music.  I really dont like whats coming out on modern country radio though and this is a spoof on that.   OK back to your auto-tune and regularly scheduled programming.
