Electric Relaxation

What's good ya'll?

Trust me, I'm still alive and still picking up pencils and wacom pens trying to act like I know what the hell I'm doing. Someday soon, somebody's going to call me out for the sham that I am.

Reminder to self: post more personal drawings to remind yourself and others who you really are.

Here's a few excerpts from my "Rendering Sketchbook." I have 3 sketchbooks running right now: Narrative Sketchbook, Rendering Sketchbook, and Freestyle Sketchbook. This one is canson, pretty small, almost pocket size. Mostly bic ball point w/white pencil for highlights and the occasional spray mounted newsprint with conte or prisma stick.

Rendering has been this cool way for me to calm down and meditate after I get home and finish the 15 other freelance jobs. I grab reference from black magazines mostly because when I look at these great blogs, sadly, I don't see any black people on them. I don't even care who the people are when I grab the reference either...I'm just looking for good lighting, and interesting faces and compositions.

EDIT: this is from life from Tuesday's workshop at work. 10 minutes with Blue Col-Erase on Animation Paper.
