FIELD SKETCHES: Disneyland

A bunch of field sketches at Disneyland over the past 3 months. Trying different approaches with each sketch by using different rendering techniques, drawing materials, etc. Above are a few composition studies from Cars Land. See if you can spot the locations of the sketches below. :)

The image above was done with watercolor crayons on black paper. Prismacolor pencils works too. I use white oil pastels for some of the brighter highlights. Stay tuned for more updates! :)

FIELD SKETCHES

Life gets busy but I still try to find time to draw outside work. Above is a sketch I did a few weeks ago while getting an oil change. This particular building is an old but still functioning fire station right next to the car shop.

These two sketches were done during two separate lunch breaks at Old Town Irvine. The large building above was used to store beans and grain during the early 20th century. Today it's being used for commercial office space. On that same lot were a few old craftsman style houses left standing which are no longer residential but also used for business purposes. The house I sketched is being used as a dentist office. While sketching, I tried to capture the way it may have looked like many moons ago. That's what's cool about drawing, you can edit out or edit in whatever you like. :)

CRAB CAKES!

Me and several friends put together a collaborative sketchbook called 'Crab Cakes' which you may have seen if you attended CTN 2014. :) It was a fun group project and we meet a lot of cool people at the show. You can find the book at Stuart Ng.

WARLORDS OF DRAENOR: Arakkoa

More Arakkoa concepts! We were lucky to have Armand Serrano do some freelance work for us. He did an amazing piece which you can find on the Warlords page. Below are concepts I did for Arakkoa Spires Dungeon using Armand's concept as the initial inspiration. It was a fun collaboration!

WARLORDS OF DRAENOR: Arakkoa concepts

A few early concepts I did for the Arakkoa. We didn't know what direction to go with for their structures, so during this stage it was fun to just explore ideas.
