New story

Rewriting a short in my free time for school is exhausting.  But a good exhausting, like when you come down off a rock you've been climbing.

Anyway, here it is:

Three explorers in a canoe, time to discover.

More on that later,

Have a good one,

Lucas

So.....

Heh, sorry about missing the last few weeks.  I've been very busy at school and i went on a small vacation.  Anyway, i have a ton of work to put up here, which i will attempt to get to all at once, but may have to be separated.

Anyways,

heres some characters from my Cartooning and Caricature class.

The second project was an animal design.  Our group got bunnies.

This is Rosie, a mother rabbit of four.  It was fun doing the research for her forms.  Another classmate and I went to Disneyland and drew from the people walking around.  If you have the means to go to the park inexpensively, i highly recommend it.  There are around 40 thousand people there everyday, so the people types are endless.

After that project, we came up with two sidekicks that would hang out with our characters.

The characters were fun to come up with.

The next project we worked on was a lame super hero.

I came up with "The Creeper."  A man who once played an epic game of hide and seek.  He was so good at hiding that, after no one could find him, he stayed hidden.
It's funny some of the things we come up with.  I found a reference to Dora the Explorer in my character with the saying: "Creeper, NO CREEPING!!!!"

It was interesting playing with super hero costumes.

In another class, we've been playing with silouette forms and contrast.
This is a recent rendition of the project.

And i have been working on some of my own projects.

yep, still movin forward with some of my ideas.

And here's a preview of some photos i took on Catalina Island:

So, hopefully this post has made up for the last few weeks of silence.

Anywho, have a good one,

Lucas

Character design from last semester

I totally forgot to post this last year and, looking back, it's one of the best character drawings(of mine) of the year.

If things go the way i hope they will, i'll be animating this character next semester.

Have a good one,

Lucas

p.s. Feel free to leave feedback.

A character from school

This was the first character from my Cartooning class.

The assignment was to take an inanimate object and characterize it.  Had fun till i realized (at the crit) that we could color them digitally (which i was unaware of) and made the Art student owl face(without the cigarette).  Next time (and, depending on the grade i get for the assignment) i will be coloring and inking digitally.

Have a good one,

Homework

Hey all out there in digital world,

Besides a random attack thunderstorm, the world has been pretty quiet for a few days, so i finally had some free time to post some stuff up here.  Here's some of the work from my cartooning class:
Here's the original,

And these are some color studies.

I have to confess these have nothing to do with the assignment, i just wanted to practice on something else before i went into the project.  

Anyways, have a good one,

Lucas

new sketches

Haven't taken much time to post stuff here, but i have been very busy sketching.  One of my professors challenged us to do a sketchbook a month, and i've been staying on track with that goal.  Actually, i've been going a little over, i'm almost finished with a sketchbook now.  Here's some of the pages:

 I've been drawing grizzly bears for a week now because of a few images i saw on some blogs.

This is a random lion design i did late on night that i thought was semi-funny.  

I've been noticing my people drawing skills are terrible, even cartoons, so i've decided to make this next months sketchbook all about designing people in the hopes that my caricaturing abilities will become better.  

Anyways, 

Have a good one,

Lucas

PS: i'll be posting more stuff here tomorrow, or monday, so check back later.
