Doodling @ My Day Job 7: Secret of the Ink

Doodling @ My Day Job 7: Revenge of the Bic

FYI, the "Life Drawings" section of my portfolio blog is in the process of updating. Check it out, when you get a chance. Now if only I could find time to update the rest of that heap...

Doodling @ My Day Job 6: Havana Nights

My "unorthodox underdog training montage" continues! Drawing the customers now. Still up-to-10-minute drawings. It's a LOT easier to detail the drawings when the characters' traits and costumes are there to see and memorize.

My Influence Map: Blogger Edition!

I thought I'd begin steps to design my own "Influence Map". For those like me, who are getting this advice late, an influence map is a big poster/ collage filed with your most influential artists.

People who do what I wanna' do, FAR better than I currently do it.

The hope is to help the map-maker focus their own personal art to reflect the map. This exercise can be REEEAAALLY hard if you're a blog-surfer like myself.

See as big as this list is, I'm SURE I'm forgetting someone...
