Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Here's a drawing of Spongebob I did tonight. Overall it probably took me just over an hour.
I tried the Threshold adjustment, so it was all simple stuff with the paint bucket. I picked out the palette myself with a reference picture and no use of the picker tool.

I dunno, I just really wanted to draw Spongebob with my own slight slant on him. So here it is.

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS

Well everyone, it looks like fate (and Joe) forces my hand to make a new post!

The mini is coming along nicely. I just finished thumbnailing the Andy story and need to pencil four more pages for that. Erik is already scripted and I since I wrote the thing, I'm not going to thumbnail it (although I might do some test sketches). Erik is going to be drawn smaller too, 1) to save time and effort and 2) because I want to use microns and have rounded edges to my lines, giving it a childish feel... Andy is the full 11 x 17 though...

I made a stencil to draw a 10 x 15 frame so I don't have to waste time with Mr. T-Square. This was not a fantastic idea. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who's trying to cut corners as you have to keep it steady, get it straight on the bristol and hold it still while you draw. If you haven't already, get friendly with Mr. T-Square, a little tape and the corner of your drafting table... and apparently it's bad to measure out from the edge of your bristol, as the people that cut these pads ain't exactly careful with that stuff...

Of course, I'm preaching to the choir. So now it's art time!!

This is something I did in the awe-inspiring David Allan Duncan's cartooning class. I figured jokes about racism were easy to do (Dave Chapelle, Carlos Mencia to name a few) and while I was trying to come up with an idea I remembered all the different colored people in Doug! Almost every character was a different color! It was odd!! Anyway, here you go!I'm just about over the wisdom teeth thing now. Bailey's away this weekend, so I'm gonna try and work hard on the mini! Ta-ta for now...

Hobbes Goes Bonkers

If you've been in Norris, you might have seen my Calvin & Hobbes scratch board up on the wall. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say I friggin' LOVE the scratch board! I was tough trying to get Calvin to look like he was drawn by a pen on scratch board. I had to transfer my pencil outlines onto the board, then outline those outlines in white, without causing any breaks in overlapping outlines! Ink never touched the board, there are no corrections or anything. All the white you see has been scraped away!

The second part of the project was to add speech bubbles and extra sound effects (in at least 3 places). These aren't present in the physical version, save for Hobbes' "rawr."


Things are shaping up pretty nicely, finalswise. It all looks very doable! (Let's hear me say that on Wednesday night when I'm rushing to finish Larison's acrylic landscape!)

There's be more to come when break begins!

LARISON!!

LARISON!! Once again your homework loses me some sleep that I could be sleeping as I type this blog instead of sleeping like I wish I was sleeping because I get so tired sometimes when the math professor goes on and on and on and LARISON!!

What was I saying? Oh yeah, something about... kittens?

Here's a picture.




This one was for Larison's last project. It's a detective scene with textures and boy do I hate those. I had to be separated from my beloved spot blacks for a whole week or two!! This scene has El Kabong!

THE END!
