The Visitors

The assignment for this drawing was to draw a group of people. I had the idea that my bald and way-too-flawless mannequins were visitors from the future, staring at us through portals on their space ship. Even though this image was created on 5 sheets of paper, it is really intended to be viewed as a single picture. One interesting thing is that I had to set up the still life with a sheet of paper casting a circular shadow on their heads, so it would look like the light was coming from outside their craft.

Contra 4



Contra 4 for the Nintendo DS has been released! Though I contributed only a few minor animations to the game, it was an honor working on such a legendary Konami series. I am indebted to WayForward, the game's developer, for giving me such a special opportunity.

Hands and feet

This drawing was for an art class assignment to draw five hands and five feet. I was very rushed to finish it, and it doesn't look as polished as I'd like it to, but the concept and layout are cool.

New Life Drawings

Here are some new life drawings that I've done recently.












Lately my life drawing style has become softer, more painterly, and a bit less detail-oriented. I've really tried to focus on creating large areas of tone with a rag or the side of the charcoal pencil, rather than trying to pick out small features. I think they're a bit more expressive, if also less polished, than my life drawings from a year ago.
