Adam's Blog

I did this and started to play with texturing brushes...then my PS froze. Apparently digital is only smarter when you save periodicly.

I did a lil sketch in PS. I've been studying manga again so her eyes are a lil bigger than usual.

After being floored by Daarken (www.daarken.com) I wanted to do some color studies.

This great drawing was done by Jonboy Meyers (http://scribble.ws/). I saw this pic on his site today and wanted to color it. Usually Monika is done in a saturated palette so I chose to go a little less saturated. What's important to her character is making sure you accentuate her...ahem...sword. :)

I did this for a drawing jam over at drawingboard.org. This "quick" drawing took longer than I expected. I messed up so many things I basically re-inked it in Photoshop--and it still doesn't look right. Oh well, defeats the purpose if I stop now.

Tom Bancroft did this picture for "The Cartoonist" magazine. I saw this picture in b&w and yearned to color it. I asked Tom if I could do it and here she is--it's such a cool drawing.

I don't know what to call it...just playing.

Just a little sketch. I made a mistake and started to render her head more...which defeats the purpose.

This was supposed to be a redhead....it didn't work out. :) I liked it better this way.

LOL! As if!

Is her butt a little big or is it just me? Yeah it's too big, but you see...I didn't change it. LOL

I've always sucked at reflective surfaces (before you think, 'hey Adam you still do') so this was an experiment. It was done with Painter.

A quick pencil sketch and a Painter color job.

I guess I never thought of getting one of these blogs...until I found out it was free. :) I'll post something before Christmas--I swear.
