Lighter Side of Portraiture (Caricature?)

Sometimes while drawing, I'll spend too much time on minuet details. This usually means I'm having a bad drawing day and struggling to make good of something that isn't good to begin with.

To break out of a bad drawing day, I force myself into a half portrait / half caricature mode. I find my best work comes when I find a strong character on the bus or subway... and push it slightly. I'm not a big fan of exaggerated proportions, so I tend to keep my experiments reserved.

Boardsmag Sponsor Reel

Recently I got the chance to work on a project for Boards Magazine. It's a online/print magazine that looks into whats new in the AD world. They approached us to do a sponsor reel for their upcoming conference. Problem was, we had to pull it off in two and a half weeks. With no brief, or clue as to what we would do, my co-workers Tim, Zane and I started brainstorming ways to get something done in such a short time.

Drawing upon their previous 8bit themed works, Zane and Tim got the ball rolling on an old school video game themed journey. Because we were able to draw upon such games as Rad Racer, Space Harrier, Buck Rogers etc, we had a lot of fun working on it, allowing us to work many long days and nights.

The end result can be found here:

Subway Sketch Sets

I've uploaded all the best sketches from my most recent sketchbook. The goal of this blog is to update it with sketches I've done on the subway or bus, and occasionally update you with my experiences inside a commercial production studio. Enjoy
