“Giraffe riding the bus” is my first new painting in five months. I spent the last half of the year focusing on the basics of character design and digital painting. Its been a rebuilding process and something I need to do. When I evaluate this piece it still feels like some of my older work, but more refined. I think it captures the correct feel and more importantly I had as much fun painting the giraffe as the giraffe had riding the bus! I’d like to see Rockwell try to set up this photo shoot!

Drawing a lot of strong women the past two weeks. I’m liking the start of my digital sketchbook.

I did a couple other sketches of a basketball player and a coach for the Illustration Friday assignment but I kept coming back to this child’s intense stare.

It’s been five months of art classes and finally I get to find out if I learned anything. This is the sketch of my first illustration after the classes. I’ll post the finished piece Tuesday, Feb. 9th.
