Character Concept: Busker

#characterdesign #conceptart #cartoon #comic #monkey #busker #entertainer #adventure #robot

This little guy has sort of scratched around in my head lately after i randomly did a drawing that ended up looking like him a week or so ago. Here is the latest redesign as I tweak on details and such. I'm pretty happy with this though and think its very close to what I'll use in the future. As I think about this character and just draw him in different poses and depictions, his story just sort of tells itself to me. A street-entertainer monkey bot used to doing as his master commands to earn money from the patreons of the town they live. His master goes missing. He must learn to think for himself, and find his self worth if he is to successfully embark on his adventure to find his master. And in finding the one he is dependent on, finds his own independence....

Anyway thats the idea for now haha. Fun little guy to toy with for now.

Daily Discipline: Huffer G1 Transformers

#drawing #transformer #hasbro #huffer #g1 #80scartoons

Didnt get a chance to post this daily practice drawing from yesterday. Its Huffer from Transformers G1 - always liked the little guy although he was a whiny thing. A stand out moment was when Optimus was injured and he towed his trailer back to base for him. He was so much smaller haha. 

I thought his design was a bit odd with his rotating arms as one big solid column, i thought it'd be better if the smaller part actualy moved like a fore arm. other than that, heres huffer in G1 80s cartoon form! 

Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile app on Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 about 30 minutes.

Drawing Request Show e143 Drawings Recap

@twitchcreates #creative #drawing

 Drew all these during todays stream totaling about 4 hours start to finish. Had some goals hit, bonus giveaway action, some fun gratitude spins and a lot of fun drawings. This marks a first attempt since I can remember at least this year of reincorporating inks and colors back into the stream. That way, theres no 'bah no time in the evening' or 'bah no time in the morning' - when an item comes up on the list in the stream, its just done. And i will work on them five days a week 3-4 hours a day one request at a time. So far I like it. I do find the INSTA ability is hindering some progress on the main list. well, no thats not accurate. Cause those who win it are usualy giveaway winners or picking items randomly from the list. But more so, I'd like to tweak some things as it goes. Good first run though. Drawn/ Inked in Inkscape colors in photoshop.

As of this post, all art sent via drop box links to email. if its not in your email check your twitch whisper. thanks guys! do it one more time tomorrow before ending for the week! then we'll continue next week. dats right.

Hope to see you at the next stream! Follow eryck webb's twitch channel at http://www.twitch.tv/eryckwebb and see you M-F at 2pmEt for the next stream!

Daily Discipline: Brawn G1 Transformers

#drawing #transformers #brawn #g1 #80scartoons #inkscape

Didnt get to post this earlier, but heres todays practice drawing/ morning warmup in the theme this week 'G1 Transformers' - guess i prefer the autobots, they ARE the heros after all. But I seem to prefer the little guys too for some reason. No idea. Maybe the underappreciated ones but I always loved when they were in the show. About 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Daily Discipline: Cosmos G1 Transformers

#dailypractice #warmup #drawing #transformers #hasbro #cosmos 

Getting back in the habit of daily warmup/ practice drawings to get the creative cylinders pumping and start my creative days right. This week I decided the theme will be drawing some of my favorite Generation 1 transformers. Some of the maybe more underrated characters that were always some of my favorites when they were a main character in an episode. Always liked the classic bumblebee, so did that yesterday. Today I did cosmos! Each day when I sit down to do one I just think of what character I feel like drwaing the most. But in general some I'm leaning towards are gears, huffer, rumble, shockwave, wheelie

Digital Ink Slinging Dewd

@autodesksketchbook  #drawing #digitalart #artwizard #wacom

Excited for a new year and a new chance at creative growth and exploration! This was an art I was drawing for use as website/ facebook banners but it didnt look great when cropped for banners and such but I love it as the whole 11x17 piece. Sketched / layed out in Inkscape then finished penciled in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro.

Every year seems to yield something new and unexpected in my business and I am sure 2017 will be no different. Heres to new, wonderful and unexpected surprises in the new year! Its going to be great, and blow 2016 out of the water, I can feel it!

EWG and DRS Drawings From 1-2-17

#twitchcreates #drawing #creative #beast #darthvader #clown #girl #kangaroo #doom

As of this post, all art sent! Happy New Year! 2017 is off to a rockin start. Great to be back doing Drawing Request Show again! Feeling refreshed and re focused after a long holiday! 5 of these were drawn as EWG commissions this morning, the rest were done during todays Drawing Request Show!
As we start the new year I'll be making tweaks along the way. But I think the improvements made over the holiday are already working very well. I may re-incorporate the VIP system in some form so that those above and beyond supporters really get there due while those who either won a small amount or barely support have to wait longer. Will see about that one...
There was a time when I first endeavored i this business I struggled to draw 5 finished pencil drawings a day, whether my own original art or commissioned art. Now I am drawing upwards of 10-15 a day equivalent. I'd say I've gotten faster/ better.
Look for the next Drawing Request Show stream Tuesday 2pmET and Tuesday night at 8pmET will be doing DRS Upgrade stream - this week I am slapping upgrade requests on a canvas and inking them all up and sending them out for coloring. Next week I[ll get the flats back and shade/ highlight them. That queue is going byebye!
And for now, Im going nite nite! See you at the next stream!
