Superhero-A-Day Project
Friday, August 21st, 2009
As a former City of Heroes addict, I am unbelievably excited for Cryptic’s release of its new superhero MMO: Champions Online. It’s scheduled release date is set for September 1st (only a few weeks away!), and I’m sure I will quickly become addicted once again. In honor of it’s release I started up a “Superhero-A-Day project…and it’s basically an excuse to start using this brand new, never-used, watercolor set I just purchased. I have never used watercolor before or any type of paint, so this should be really fun and I hope to get more comfortable using them as I finish each drawing. I hope to make one drawing per day, some original, and some from photos. This one is of my favorite pose of Raven of Teen Titans.
It didn’t turn out as I expect, I learned a valuable lesson to never mix oil based markers with watercolors. Hopefully I progress with each drawing…I hope!

Finished Life Drawing sketch
Friday, August 21st, 2009
Well, I realized I haven’t been keeping up with my posting as much as I wanted to when I started this thing! Partially because this is my first blog and I’m really not sure of the direction I wanted to take here…I just know that a lot of designers use them. Why, I am not so sure…
But anyway, I’m going to try and make the effort to post more often, even if its just something I have been working on in my sketch book.

Charcoal is your friend.
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
I usually attend Continue Education classes from The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts just for fun, but this semester I actually took a course for credit at Philadelphia Community College. The semester is over, and it was fun! I think these might be my best drawings to date. For summer’s class, I’m taking a Still Life painting course at PAFA and I’m really excited. Anyway, here are my semesters best charcoal drawings.
