African Princess

I am kind of frustrated after this one, I like it don't get me wrong but I am always striving for progress but while also trying to figure out this Photoshop style I want to do. Also I guess I can talk to you guys about what I have been thinking for the past few days and that is I want to go hard on this art. I feel as if I just keep focus on this and stop trying to stretch myself to do different things, I can become great at this like I want. Also I want to start my own Youtube page in 2015, I'm not going to talk about helping others get better at art but more on the lines of me talking and drawing which I feel like that would be a great idea for me so I can keep my mind focused on what I really want to do. 2015 is going to be a great year for me and my art and I am not going to say hopefully because that means I don't have faith in myself. So after all this is said here is my new pic/artwork.

The Heart

I'm finally getting back to my sketches and digital art since school will be out for a couple of days until next semester. I am getting better at this, this time I used Photoshop in order to finish my sketch so I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I enjoy doing it. Enjoy!

Strength

I think I might put this in the Madness Collection, this called Fortitude which is Latin for Strength.

Adriana Lima Madness

This the going to be apart of the Madness Collection and this a edit of the model Adriana Lima. I'm going to call this one Beauty, I hope you guys like it as much as I do. Enjoy!

Kanye Redone

I redid this sketch of Kanye West I did about a couple of months ago. So here it is I hope you guys like it. Enjoy!

LeBron Madness/Madness Collection

Nike LeBron 12 Dunk Force

I did this sketch the other day of LeBron James mixed with Iron Man but as I was scrolling through my Instagram I found that some of his new shoes dropped/released today. They are called the LeBron Dunk Force so I based the colorway on the shoes. I'm getting better at this to say the least, this was fun to do. I am figuring out how these programs work and at the same time practicing on getting better at drawing. The only problem I am having now is saving it so it has the same quality as what I see when I am doing it but I'll find a way. Here it is I hope you guys like it.

Neymar Madness

I think I am going to call this the "Madness Collection" every finished piece will be like this, well some I will pick and choose which ones have a little madness to them. So here it is the Neymar Madness/PRIDE. Enjoy!

Neymar

I just finished a sketch the other day and here is the finished product as well as the sketch. I am getting serious with this now, I am going to try and do at least one sketch a day and at least one digital rendering a week so I can keep practicing. So here is my Neymar sketch and the finished product. Enjoy!

Gundam Finished

This is the finished product of the Gundam Wing WIP and this is the style that I have been trying out lately. I am trying to this out and I love it so expect to see more of this style down the road. I was suppose to post this earlier this week but never got the chance to but here it is now lol. So I hope you guys like it, ENJOY!

WIP part 2

This is the WIP part 2 the Gundam that I did and this was done in Illustrator. I was trying something new and I think it turned out well, it is different from anything that I've ever tried. Well I don't know what else to say about it but stay tuned for the completed piece where I connected it to the other collection I showed you guys in recent post. So tell me what you think and ENJOY!

Work In Progress (WIP)

I am going to start doing this which is showing you guys what I am working on and how far I am getting. This is only the sketch though so stay tuned for more as I finish this.

 

Something Different

If you checked out my Tumblr you would've seen this. I want to try something different with photos and changing them up to see what I could do with it. So here it is and also I have to give you guys an update on what is going on with my life and how I am going to focus more on art. Other than that here is my work and I hope you guys like it.

CHVRCHES Poster

This is the poster project I did for my class recently and it is based on a up coming event in Liverpool. The group is called CHVRCHES, when I was doing my research on a event to do I noticed their logo or their name and thought that is creative as hell. So I did my research and found out they make some great music I'm gonna put a video at the end of the post if you want to check it out for yourself. I like their style not just their music style but also their visual style in their music videos. I came up with a concept that I see a lot which is the cardboard cut out looking style and placed it on a black background. The hardest part was making sure that I put the lettering right because I am not that good at typography as of yet but I am getting there. I will include the digital version and the finished mounted version that will be turned into class. As you guys can see, I've been working I just haven't been posting anything. But that's all going to change hopefully, so until next time ENJOY!

Finished Product

My logo

This is my official, unofficial, logo that I did in class. I don't know what to say about this but let me try. This was picked out of a 100 sketches I did by other students in my class. That is right I had to do 100 hand drawn sketches that all looked different which was at first a pain but I loved it afterwards. Doing those sketches helped me think outside the box and that is the technique that I am going to stick with for the rest of the semester and my career as a designer. The object or assignment was to make 100 designs using my initials which was hard there isn't much you can do with JH but I came up with some great designs which I've missed placed for the time being. For now this is it so I hope you guys like it, like I kind of do haha but for now here it is. I will be posting more later today. 

Just hold on, I'm coming home

Some of you might be wondering where I've been or have I given up and the answer is I don't know. Well let me explain. First, I've been doing hours and hours of work, they got me working vampire hours at my job and I hate it. With this schedule it doesn't give me time to do anything. Secondly, I've been working hard on my school work and I've been getting better at it. Speaking of that I will be posting my works on here soon, probably sometime soon. But don't fear, I'm still here and I will be going hard on these designs I promise you guys. Well this was just a checking in so see y'all soon. 

Winnie-the-Pooh

Sorry you guys for not updating but I've been busy with work and school lately but here is something to hold you over till next time. I woke up this morning and did this also read the story behind this to get a better understanding of this. Okay talk to you guys later, Enjoy!!!

 

Story behind the picture:

 I had a dream about Winnie-the-Pooh & I was Christopher Robins. In this dream when I saw Pooh I ran to him clinching him in my arms telling him how much I missed him, what I'm going through, & how no one but him understands me. Before that moment I was working in some store & talking to some guy about life at this school. In my dream, I don't know if it happens to you but scenes switch in an instant. I felt stressed & overwhelmed & now I realize that moment at the store reference life & what I'm going through now. Working a stressful job & trying to go to school so I can do what I like to do one day & get paid for it. But when I saw Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, & all those characters come out of no where & it seemed like they were searching for me I got overwhelmed. Now I see they were a symbol of my childhood. Going back to a time where I didn't have to worry about all this stuff where I could just have fun & not worry about what others think or what I thought of myself. I could just not worry, & as I was telling him all this stuff he just kept saying to same thing, "it's ok", like a mother would say to there child if they were worried. So I'm here to tell you it's ok no matter what you're going through, life will hurt you but you'll be ok. No matter what you're going through you'll be alright.

Wolverine

Well school has started and I've been busy but I've found time today to finish up my Wolverine sketch, I've posted it on deviantART for those who don't know I have one. I am getting better with the colors and using what I have to get what I want as far as results go. So, here is the finished product and the sketched version as well. Enjoy!!!

Leonardo

School is about to start and lately I've been inspired to draw more. I love art no matter if it is graphic design or illustration, I have a passion for both and hopefully it shows through my progress. Here is a sketch and also the finished product of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Leonardo. I noticed that I am good with color and design work I just have to practice on gestures or bringing the illustration to life. So here is the before and after piece I did of Leo. Enjoy!!

School work

I have been meaning to do this for a while now and now I have the time to do it. Here are the things that I worked on with my professor Dr. Koffman who helped me out a bunch this summer helping me get better at this in order for me to be ready for the future I am proud of my work and I can only get better from here. So with out further a do here are some of my designs from the summer. No all of the images uploaded but here are the ones that I could upload.

Using the Pen tool. The Images on the left are thumbnails from the internet and on the right is the rendered or finished product. plus I threw in a logo to make it seem more like a logo.

Using the prespective tool.

This was interesting because I used the Mesh tool which is not easy but I got the hang of it, some what.

Unseen work

This is some stuff in my sketch book that I haven't shown people yet. Enjoy. 

Hand Study

Well this is what I've been up to. I was talking to myself, well not in a crazy way, about what I want to work on next and that was drawing figures. I chose to start on the hard parts first which are hands. Most people would say face or the whole figure but I wanted to start off small. In most peoples art work if you notice they don't always draw hands but the ones that do tend to stand out more. So I spent a whole week drawing hands and I made some progress along the way. Here they are in order of days, also towards the end I added some arms so I could further work on anatomy. So here they are:

Sketch of the day

Been practicing all week. I did a full day of measurements, using the ruler to sketch and mark out the outlines. The next day I penciled in the details after that I inked in the details. Then I added color which took two or three days I think. I did this so I can teach myself to slow down and see what I'm doing and pay attention to detail. I like it, it came out good. Also more to come. 

Sketch of the Day

I did this the other day. I felt like drawing birds and also don't mind the words. Sometimes I like to write down what I am thinking or feeling at the time while I'm drawing to help clear my mind in order for me to draw better. So I hope you guys enjoy this and see you soon. 

Julio

It is almost Football Season here in the states and my favorite team is the Atlanta Falcons. So in honor of the up coming season I've done a design for the Falcons, I call it Julio. Hopefully he stays healthy this season so we can get back to the playoffs and hopefully win the Superbowl this year, which we have a great chance of doing this year. I've done two versions of this design, the uniform design and the all white design. I am getting use to photoshop and finding new tricks to make my stuff better so check it out. ENJOY!!

All White
