Went to Seattle over the weekend and did some drawing at The Burke museum with some friends.


To add onto this: the horizon line will pass through all figures of the same height at the same place. So you can correctly scale figures back in space like this. Also really helps with keeping distant doors, stairs, and monsters in the right scale.


The main reason it took so long outside the obvious is that originally I was planning to just do the canon designs for the items but after doing my Link redesign I foolishly decided to redesign every single item. Not counting Link himself there are 87 items in there.




Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

Been making an effort to doodle more on paper lately. Fun to crank out some little guys free of any Big Art™ pressure




This, but about art

My beautiful baby boys, I will finish you someday

It takes a really long time to get good at drawing ?

Another one, because why not? Sketch and final

The sketch✏️ The painting ? This one was started in 2012 and finished in 2020. Certainly my longest time between starting and finishing a piece ?

Stretch goals tease

As it turns out I'm pretty bad at drawing some pokemon from memory. My gf is much better at it I think. Please don't ever ask me to draw "clefairy" ?

Here's a cool tip for how I did this

Trying to learn something from masters. Mine left, their's right.

Man I was not expecting the 90s Sugimori Pokemon art style to be the way more difficult one of the two styles to work in. Deceptively very high level of subtlety. If you'd like to color them yourself here are the lines.

I did that initial rough thumbnail at 3am right after beating the game so its particularly sloppy. At first I tried it in a landscape format but it just wasn't working. Bonus red sketch is from when Koraidon was first announced and the limbs are just warmup doodles.
