Unused rough sketch for a client project, a telephone service iPhone app icon design.
Concept was a cartoon character woman with a telephone headset and a big mouth.
Alien Sphinx
Alien Sphinx color sketch, originally uploaded by Coghill Cartooning.
Working color sketch for a personal series of bizarre creatures I work on from time to time.
Wanted to get some of these fleshed out. Scanned the original into Photoshop and cleaned up and did the coloring in Photoshop CS4 using a Wacom Untus4 medium graphics tablet.
this will need some further refinements to the overall drawing – not happy with the uraeus snake on the top (looks like a question mark!) and the tail needs some reworking.
Just wanted to share the progress at this stage.

UStream – now embedded on the blog
If you head over to the new Ustream page I set up, you can now access my live video drawing, sketching & vector sessions right from the blog! When there’s no live broadcast you’ll get access to the archive of recorded videos. Even cooler, the chat is also embedded.
Stay tuned as I plan to ramp up the live screencasts in the coming weeks.
Blue Goon
Just quick post to show the “blue goon” drawing I did for tonight’s artcast.
Unfortunately I forgot to hit “Record” for the show, so it was a live event only. Next time!
The “blue goon” character was created in Adobe Photoshop CS4 with a Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet and some store-brand Sudafed to ease my cold & sinus symptoms.
Gar Trader – Cigar-Chompin’ Tough Guy Cartoon Character
I recently created this cool cigar-smoking thug character & logo for the cigar aficionado store and message board website Gar Trader. The above artwork and design is actually an alternate version I created for the client, the final was required to be much, much smaller to fit into his website, but he also wanted to be able to offer t-shirts and other merchandise so I created this version (which is my personal fave).
Live ArtCast this Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2010
I’ll be doing a live drawing “ArtCast” video session this Wednesday February 10th, 2010 at 9 PM EST as part of the ArtCast Network’s weekly featured artcast series.
Stop by and see/hear me draw live via your web browser. There’s also an integrated chat box so I can read your comments and interact. It’s usually a lot of fun, and if you’ve been to one of my live sessions before you know there will be lots of great software tips for drawing digitally.
