Rip Van Winkle

Comp 1

I recently finished an illustration for the Aesop's fable  "The Fox, the Chicken, and the Dog" and enjoyed playing with changing up old imagery that I've decided to start an illustration of another fable. (I'll be sharing the "The Fox, The Chicken, and The Dog" soon.)

Face Rework Detail

These are some of my brainstorming sketches. The one that is getting close to my final composition is the modified first composition.

Compiled first comp with the face detail and a wider composition.

Comp Three - This was fun to play with, but to my tastes too
much is going on in the composition.

Some Sketching

Well, not much has been updated here in awhile. I have been busy, very busy with writing mostly. In between writing and applications I did do some sketching. Mostly I sketch with colored pencils now. There are two different colors in all of these, though the lighter blue doesn't get picked up by my scanner. Here are a few examples of drawings from life.


Yes, that page is supposed to be sideways, those feet were in an odd position.


The tractor was completely covered in rust.

Well, that gives you some visuals to enjoy. I hope you enjoy them!
