The Art of Garth Cochrane

Warm up and warm down from work today…

This is space monkey…silly monkey, where are your gloves?  Also, a sketch made on the train yesterday.

Sketch done at a brainstorming session this Arvo. 

Having fun…

More nonsense.

Playing around on the train + bus on the way to and from work.  Using my motion le1700 tablet pc…an awesome piece of kit that’s pretty cheap these days.  You can pick them up on ebay for around $600 depending on the specs.  If that’s out of your price range, the 1600 is a slightly older model and can be easily snapped up for half that price.  I use sketchbook pro for drawing, the brushes have a lovely feel and it’s perfect for tablet pcs.  If I’m doodling at home I also use a logitech gaming pad for shortcuts/hotkeys.

Pinup boy for goblins everywhere…the girls want him, the boys want to be him.

The superkid with a wicked swing.  Peanuts are his kryptonite.

I love drawing characters in motion…it just feels and looks like fun.
