Zachary Quinto As Spock

Here's the Star Trek drawing I mentioned in the previous post. I might do more Star Trek drawings before long. I drew this on paper with pencil, then I scanned it and photoshopped a patterned background on to it behind Zachary Quinto as Spock. I'm looking forward to this new movie coming to theatres.

Here's another sketchback drawing. I did thicker linework on this one. Star Trek is coming to theatres next month and I've been thinking about doing a Star Trek drawing. In fact I may have mentioned it on here. I might start on it tonight or tomorrow. I'll either do an original series drawing or one based on the new movie. As soon as I'm done with it I'll post it on here.

Kari II

Here's that other award winner I mentioned. It's a portrait of Kari Byron, the artist and star of Discovery Channel's Mythbusters. I don't think they ever told which one won which place, but I guess considering the order they're in in the program booklet for the awards show, "Kari II" was the one that won first place and "Josh Speaks" was the one that won second place. This was my first year entering as a professional, although now they call it advanced.

Here's the color version of that drawing in the previous blog post. I just digitally colored it today.

Here's a picture I drew recently. I just started drawing my hand and then to give it something extra I drew an energy effect around the hand. It didn't scan very well, but I'm thinking of digitally coloring it anyway, so it'd look better then. I've been working on a comicbook idea on and off over the past, maybe two years I think. I've been trying to get something going to submit to a publisher at some point. I've been working on one superhero story and thinking about doing something with a superhero I created in fourth or fifth grade. I think that superhero and the new one would work in a comicbook. I'll be getting that other award winning artwork back from the art show on April 8th or 9th so I'll be posting it next month. And I think I'll also put it in my Flickr art gallery, which there's a link to off to the right on my blog site here.

The Third Art Show Entry

The third artwork I entered in the art show I mentioned in the previous blog entry is one I posted in the January 17, 2009 blog entry on here, titled "The Man With The Burning Brain". It's not one of the winners but it got displayed in a really good spot with the ones of mine that did win. The winners are hanging to the left and right across from that one.

Josh Speaks

I won my fourth and fifth awards at a local annual art show awards ceremony tonight. This drawing, which I drew on paper, scanned and digitally colored, is one of the award winners. It's titled "Josh Speaks". I'll post the other one when I get it back after the art show is over. The other one is a pencil drawing of Kari Byron from Mythbusters titled "Kari II", because it's the second big picture I've drawn of Kari. I'm proud to say I'm now a five time award winning artist.
