I fooled around with Photoshop to get the tonal pattern sky and I had to redraw the 1st hunter's head because his dialogue would not work with him looking directly at the bear (see ealier Bear Scare posts to understand what I'm talking about).
Here are three Easter Bunnies that I made as an exemplar for an art lesson I'm doing with one of my classes. These are made from Sculpey and painted with acrylics. They started out as Easter eggs with individualized bunny faces. I tried going for the extreme. Happy Easter!
To the left is the concept sketch I was given by the author of the book I'm doing these illustrations for. I thought that it'd be interesting to see that and compare it to the final image.
Here's the pencil version of the uprooted tree. I stuck to my original concept but ironed out a few things with a some Google Image searching.
Here's a sketch I did on the back of a handout I received at our teacher inservice day today. The meeting was boring but I was kind of amazed I could do the sketch below from imagination.
After a day of school I'm usually in no mood to draw. After perusing some other sketch blogs I've become reinvigorated and inspired to draw, draw, draw. Since I've been drawing more I see that my work does need more...well, um...work. I want to develop my style and techniques. Also, check me out in tomkarpe.tumblr.com.
