Zombies need love too. <3

Thought I’d change things up a bit, y’know? Draws a turtle.

Life drawings! I have more of them now.

This one’s for Stunners…

I had a realisation while doodling this, that my days of using flash still informs a lot of my design.  Check this guy out…he’s totally asking for some instances and even better, he doesn’t even have legs! Perfect!

Lifedrawing again last night…

Lifedrawing again tonight. I’ve misplaced my large sketchbook somehow (the thing is huge), so these are digital sketches.  Still a little tentative with my lines.  Poses are anywhere from 3-15 mins.

Hey Ho! It’s me again.  Me being Garth.  I’ve started going to lifedrawing classes at CDW Studios in the City, which is a nice bookend to the week.  The dudes were quick poses from last week, the ladies were tonight’s efforts.

 

I’m a bit of a Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire) tragic. If you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, do yourself a favour and google it! I’ve got a bunch of sketches done of various characters, but I’m holding back on posting until they’re inked and coloured…needless to say, there are enough characters in that universe to keep me busy for a very long time.

I meant for this to be a chance to get my hands dirty with illustrator…but I love sketchbook so much I just can’t go past it, so here it is.  It started out as a Mr squiggle from a couple of posts back.

Hey all…looong time no post.  Lots has been happening in my life of late and I got lazy with my blog. Phooey to me.  In other news, my son turned 1 year old this month.  He charges around the house like a mad thing these days and he surprises us everyday with something new Last week I booted up my pc and he decided he’d like to have a go at painting…

He had so much fun it was incredible, he laughed, smiled and chatted the whole time. It was beautiful, just what I needed.

So until next time, soak this up and remember how good it feels to let loose!

 

*Edit* I also bought a Cintiq recently, Ha!

Hey! Halloween has never been that big a deal here in Aus but I’ve noticed over the last couple of years it’s becoming more of a thing. I guess it’s partly because us Aussies love us some Americane culture. The promise of free treats probably has something to do with it too.  That, and shops will take any chance they can get to sell you more stuff, so they push it like mad. Not that I’m complaining. When I was a kid I was there with bells on, wandering my neighbourhood in search of sweet, sweet candy.

Here’s a thing…Luca Maluca from Planet Zubzub. It’s a little know fact that Plobians visit Earth annually on Halloween. They scour the land for sources of glucose, taking advantage of the more lax approach to space beings, costumed or no.

I had no real plan with this one, it just evolved from a random squiggle I did last night.  And I’m keen to push the last post further down the page.  Not the first blue forest creature playing with orbs of light I’ve ever illustrated.  Probably not the last.

This is another thing for the ‘we draw good’ blog.  It was my turn to suggest a topic, so I threw in a Mr Squiggle .  I was thinking I might use this as an excuse to learn illustrator.  It’s called Illustrator, damn it.  I’m an illustrator.  How come I don’t know how to use this program?  Seriously though, I’ve only tinkered with it in the past and I spent many years creating art in flash, so it shouldn’t be too difficult right?

Yes, yes it is.  I’ve got to work my way through this…been very busy lately (and amongst other things) have started driving to work, so my doodlin time has been significantly reduced.  This is all I have!

Yep, they suuure are.

For the We Draw Good art blog, a new thing started by an old colleague, Mike Manalac.
