Father/Son Portraits (D)

A couple of recent quick portraits of our firstborn and me.

Fresh Figure Drawing for May 2018 (D)

Lots of Marvel this month.

Gestures!  Can you name them all?

Decided to flesh them out. Probably (hopefully) easier to tell who's who now.

Portrait study of Mr. Stark

Random Instadude

Gesture versions

Until next month.

Fresh Figure Drawings for April 2018 (D)

I only had time for a couple Figure Drawing Fridays this month (though that didn't stop me from posting on the weeks I couldn't get a new piece done, ha).  One go each at gestures and portraits this time.

Gestures from my brain

Mr. B (D)

[I really need to get J in here to post all her amazing TGS arts...]

Today's the day!!!

I think he's in there.

Cars 3ple (D)

Over the weekend I also finally watched Cars 3, which had 90% less Mater than the second one and was therefore 90% better. Then I started thinking what the characters would look like as humans, while trying not to be too influenced by their vo. I'm not so hot at drawing automobiles but I am into character design.

Here are the sketches with their automotive alter-egos. Is this how you would picture them as humans?

Commission: Lindsey / Ellie & Mac (D)

This is a commission I did for Lindsey, the brain and hands and beating heart of Ellie & Mac, thanks to whom I've been blessed with a long string of work over the last few months. Like I posted over the weekend, I've had some commission drama lately, but Lindsey has always been a model client, and nothing says personalized like a one-of-a-kind profile picture portrait.

Here are some of the lineart pieces I've done for her designs:

It's been fun and different to jump into the world of online sewing/patterning/fashion!

By the way, stay tuned, I'll be announcing something exciting regarding commissions very soon!

ArtCorgi Couple Commissions (D)

(Wrote this almost a week ago and forgot to publish over the weekend!  Bah.)

I'm a little behind in posting stuff here (you can always find up-to-date posts on Instagram @drewgrahamart and @hinkypunkstation) but then I can post a few at once!  Apparently I'm one of a few go-to ArtCorgi artists clients pick for engagement/anniversary gifts, which is a niche I'm more than happy to fit into.

March 2017, Aaron and Jennifer.  In the photo they sent this looked great as a canvas print!

April 2017, Lee and wife.  It was great to do a different style.

June 2017, Eric and Molly.  Apparently he commissioned a few artists and picked the one he liked best (which wasn't mine but that's okay).

I have a few more, ArtCorgi and otherwise, but these will do for now!

Commissions Aplenty (D)

Aaaaand here are some recent commissions from the last few months to round things out.  All very different projects from different sources.

Anniversary preset from Rachel to Jermiah, two great Survivor friends!

A totally different kind of proposal piece.  Her hair went through two extreme color changes (I left off most of the text because it seemed personal, and also... it's in Spanish). 

Cover art for a single written as the theme to a one-woman show in London (commissioned by a friend of Kimberley from the Great British Baking Show, who saw my drawing of her and contacted me... you just never know).

Dancing BFFs via Instagram.

I have a few more to catch up but I'll leave them for next week.  I love the variety of work I've been commissioned to do lately!

Austen Portraits (D)

Yesterday I did an art, based on a rewatch of not one, but two versions of Sense and Sensibility, and continuing a portrait theme that I started a few years ago.

Sensible and Sensibilitous

Then as I went to post this I realized I've never posted the other two portraits!  Here you go.

Handsome, Clever and Rich

Obstinate, Headstrong Girl
