Cell Shading

Here is a piece where I tried out cell shading. It's hard to explain even harder to do but it came out ok. I did it only on the guy and the rest was just me playing around. So here it is, Enjoy!

A trip downtown

I finally got out the house and did something that wasn't work related, I know I got to experience life this week. So me and my friend Kyle went to the High Museum of art here in Atlanta to see the Sprawl event featuring Paper Frank who is a local known artist here in Atlanta. I had to say this was a much needed break for me because I needed it since I was feeling I needed some inspiration and I felt like I was going through the motions and not trying different things. So without any further here are some of the pics I took. So, Enjoy!

Double Exposer projects

This style has been the big thing lately so I thought I might as well try it. So I practiced it for a while and I got a couple of pics that I liked but I guess I'll show you guys all of them. 

Well here they are I hoped you guys Enjoyed. 

Zoe

This has to be one of the most interesting illustrations I've done in a while because of the story behind it. When I was running or working out the other day I saw this girl sitting down on a log with a sketchbook on her lap. Like any other artist that caught my attention right away so I approached her. While we were conversing Little did I know she was one of the most interesting people I've met in a long time but she was also young and wasn't an artist...kind of. She had some sketches or portraits in her sketch book but she mostly used it for writing. For now let's just call her Zoe. 

Lately I've been in a artistic slump but talking with her which I think only lasted about 30 or 45 minutes it was refreshing to have another person's take on life. At a young age she had experienced a lot and saw the world differently so in other words she was mature for her age. Well she was more mature than I was at her age I'll tell you that. We had our brief conversation and we went our separate ways but our brief conversation had such an impact on me. Like any other artist who gets inspired I drew her, I'll show my sketch and the finished product at the end. I write this to say, you never know what or who will inspire you and it's also great to get out the house once in a while. Great art is inspired by the people we meet, the places we've been, and the choices we make. Anyway, here is the artwork...Enjoy!

Mighty Morphin Bordeaux

A quick design I did in honor of the Jordan 7 Bordeaux that come out this weekend. I combined a OG Jordan shoe with an OG show I used to watch which was the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. This was interesting and brought back a lot of memories.

KD V8 Charmeleon

So this is the finished product of KD V8's. Like everything the colors didn't come out like I wanted but it turned out great. I'm thinking about doing a digital version but I might not who knows haha. Also, here is everything from the beginning sketch to the watercolor. I thought about this idea while at work and I wanted to continue the theme of pop culture and sneakers which I'm still going to do. So stay tuned for more, Enjoy!!

Jordan Bull

Well I'm trying out some coloring and here is the finished product of one of my sketches. I just need to clean up some areas probably go a little slower but it came out good, spent most of the day on it. I will say that I have to practice my coloring on photoshop so I can get better but for now I spent the whole day on this thing & I need to step away from it, & the computer. I'm slowly finding my computer coloring style, besides that today was a productive day. I ran 2 miles, fixed up my computer more, got some art done, now I can chill for a while. For now here is the finished product. Also before I go I was thinking about redoing the blog and making it look more professional but that is for another. Until then enjoy!!
