More Works in Progress!

    Here are some other drawings that I've been working on. They're kinda old, as you can see. I've been quite busy lately so it's sad that I don't have as much time to draw as I did before. :L Hopefully I'll get to finish them so you can see what they look like when completed. :) 

  The top one is of General Grevious that I did using Bonnie Burton's How to Draw Clone Wars book. Once again I didn't really copy the picture they wanted me to (because I'm horrible and can't copy pictures that well :/ ) and kinda went off and did my own thing. I really liked Grevious' cloak and wanted to draw it all torn  up. Also I love his feet from Revenge of the the Sith (I know that sounds weird X7 ) and wanted to draw/shade them as close to that movie's as possible. However, the hints posted on the side (next page in this drawing book) were really helpful in grasping how he goes together. I had never really drawn General Grevious so this drawing really excites me and the book was a good helper! :D

   The bottom drawing is of an alien from one of my books named Illume. She's pretty cool. She's like half human, half reptile creature. Her left hand was bothering me so as you can see I've erased it. Illume's not quite done yet, I've still got some more shading to do with her clothes, legs, and arms. She was fun to design because I wanted to capture the merging of both human and reptilian structures. I think the size of her eyes is the most prominent feature of this. I don't know if it's just me or what but I feel like her body is a little disproportionate. :L I'll keep trying to figure it out. ;) She was fun to draw--I love her little mushroomwood bucket!-- and I hope you'll someday get to read about her. :D

Drawings by Me! --Works in Progress

  Here are some things that I have been working on (because if I didn't do anything creative this summer I would probably shrivel up and die. :p :) ). These are all from my Clone Wars books that I've been writing. I don't want to give too much away of the plot but I'll tell you as much as I can about what's going on in the pictures. :} Enjoy!

  This is an android named Seven. Essentially he and his kind are guardians to their Masters. Seven is a good guy. An interesting aspect about his character is that he is a droid trying to be a human. I really wanted to explore this concept of an inorganic being trying to be more like and understand a living creature. The only thing I regret about Seven is that we don't really get to see a whole lot of him, as he does not appear directly in my CW novels until the end. :L This is because I really don't want the other characters to be hindered by his presence (he's one of those characters. :) aka the one that explains everything in the end.....) Perhaps I will think of a way to integrate him into earlier novels so we can get some more screen time with him. ;) Sorry, his shoulder is kinda shiny. The light is reflecting off of the penciling there. :/

 
  Sorry if this one is kinda hard to make out, I was trying to pencil lightly so it wouldn't show through when I paint over it. This is a canvas that I have penciled in the environment for one of my books. I haven't finished quite yet, Cody is kinda floating in the air right now. X7 It's a mushroom forest (I almost said 'mushroom kingdom'. in a Mario voice. :/ ) that Cody, Ryan, and Watt are patrolling somewhere in the beginning of the story. Sorry if you don't know who any of those clones are (except for Cody, perhaps). Hopefully I'll be able to show you all my concept drawings of them sooner or later. :7
