late night sketching

I miss camping.

It's hard to explain exactly why camping is such a spiritual experience for me. Waking up at dawn and breathing in the first early morning cold breath and feeling the energy of the earth flood into your veins. Lazing in the afternoon in your cot reading comics in the soft sunlight. Almost burning your eyebrows off with a blazing inferno of lighter fluid doused firewood. Cooking your food over a fire in the pitch blackness of night. Being sung to sleep by the roaring of the ocean. Then waking up and doing it all over again the next day.

It is the most alive i ever feel.

If you can, go. Go for those of us who can't.

Anyways, i sketched this while i was daydreaming about Morro Bay.
Have a good one,

Ball bounce animation

Still needs some editing, but this is what i've got so far:

It's a classic ball bounce exercise for my animation class at CSUF.

I'll be posting the final product later today.

First Animation Project

a simple animation i did for my class.

my shoe project

This is the first project i did for my 3d design class at CSUF. It's entirely made of masking tape.

Seriously, just masking tape.

Anyway, have a good week.

New(ish) stuff

Here's some character studies i did during my time off.  Apparently i liked the last one because i did another page of him.

Have a good week,

Getting back to once a week....

I've been on a mini vacation, hence why i haven't posted anything in two weeks.

I guess i'm still feeling a bit of wanderlust.  I've been looking into travel planning, and have discovered that traveling anywhere is pretty expensive and since i'm saving for studying abroad in Australia, i have no spare money.  Thus why i've been contemplating riding the luggage shelf on trains.

Anyways, have a nice week,

--Lucas

the train

 i know, it looks ridiculous, but, it something thats been on my mind.

Another photo adventure

Went out to arbor park in seal beach with my camera.  Here are some of the results.

I also had my first experience switching lenses in the field.  I use a macro for some of the close ups or the seed pods.

Have a good one,

characterizing.....

I've been trying to add on little quirks to the characters i've been drawing.  

It's been a tough day for someone......


--Lucas

Something i worked on while i was at home (while my immune system battled the evil, evil cold)

An older drawing that i spiffied up today.  I'll probably have more to post tomorrow since i'm not feeling any better and it's almost ten at night.  Anyway, hope you all are staying well and not following my example.

Something i drew a few months ago for story inspiration. Still not sure where i want to go with it.

I changed a few things to make it a stronger image.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Here's something i've been working on since the Christmas buzz has quieted down.

Hope you all had a great Christmas season.  Have a great rest of the year.

New sketches

Heres some work i've been....working on recently.

Let me know what you guys think!

a new page and an explaination:

So,  i'm sorry i haven't posted stuff in over a month.  I've gone back to work full time and the art has slowed down and sped back up in a cycle over the last few weeks and each time i go to post new things, i lacked the energy to post things but this week i had some free time and i was able to get some new stuff up.

So here you go:

Hopefully i'll be back to a regular schedule so i can get back on the wagon and finish this thing up before the end of the year.  I had originally set a goal to finish the first issue by june (as a new years resolution mind you) and i came no where near my goal.  Just goes to show you that your plans don't work out no matter how much you want them to.

have a good one!

The story is finished!!!

Here's a preview of the comic book i've been writing.  I wrote just the right amount this time: enough to know where i'm going, not too much that i don't have wiggle room, and enough that i can continue when i get to the end.  

Anyway, here you go:

Oh, and if you don't understand what's going on, don't worry, it'll make sense when you read it (the real thing i mean).

Have a good one,

Lucas

A crazy machine!!!!

I used photoshop's paint brush tools to do the beginning line work.  Then used SBP to finish it.

Started out like this:

Have a good one!
