Doodles Galore

Happy Holidays! Hope everyone has been doin’ good…i’ve been doin’ extra good myself, family and friends have been fattenin’ me for the last couple weeks with some delicious holiday foods….oooh i’ll see you soon Mr. Gym.

Here’s the daily doodle for today…I’ll be doin’ double duty on these doodles soon with a collaborative illustrator group effort that will actually be startin’ in a couple days…i’ll put out the links soon for you guys to check it out once its all set up.

Was listenin’ to one of my favorite Squirrel Nut Zipper Songs, “The Ghost of Stephen Foster” when I drew this. >:)

*whew* today’s daily doodle took A LOT longer than expected..but got a lil’ inspired…more like a finished piece now.

from one of my favorite speeches…

inspired from this earlier post, please vote on this link:

sorry gents and ladies,

went on a bit of vacation aand just gettin’ back into the swing of things now…don’t be too mad with me….first vacation in 3 years….i promise i’ll give you more warning next time…forewarning: 2 years and 364 days til my next week off!!

so to try to make it up to ya, here’s the doodle for the day which iiii’m going to title something like “eminem meets rudolph meets demon” – was listenin’ to “no love” by eminem featuring lil’ wayne when i was doodling…..so some of the lyrics make an appearance in this piece

underneath that colorful pic is yet another colorful pic…as i make 10000 of these talking heads, i figured making my “return” from vacation, i needed a new piece..

note: i’ve “gone digital” now for the past couple months…strictly drawing tablet for everything i post up unless otherwise stated and i must say…i’m likin’ where i’m goin’.

So FINALLY bought on itunes one of my favorite songs…The Cranberries “Zombie” and well….i think its pretty obvious what came to mind.

I know I know..think outside the box Jeremy..but I couldn’t help it!

yeah..its a lil’ emo…but this is like the first thing that came to my mind this morning. i can’t be a man of steel all the time!!!!

“ello there old friends…miss me?

suffice to say, keepin’ up with the plethora of social networks and such that i’m on is a much more difficult task than can be imagined…but i promise i’ll try to be more of a good boy from now eh?

also, add me on facebook: facebook.com/jeremytheartist , twitter: @thetoonman, i post regularly on both these suckers so if you’ve been missing me, you can get your fill of my wit and cheesy jokes there!

so last i left you i was about to engage in zombie art war fare…needless to say it went VERY well, and now i’m friends with the monster known as the Wacom Tablet.

i hope to start takin’ 20-30 min a day to take some time and do a doodle, which i’ll post here.

and to kick that off, here’s one for today. based on the song “creep” by radiohead (though i was listening to the homeless mustard version of it), i tried to make the piece a big darker..hope you guys like it

this was fun…let’s do this again soon shall we?

So for those of you who don’t know, I have a zombie fan art site that I manage and contribute a lot of art too:

zombeezgalore.blogspot.com

I got into the Zombie Biz about 3 years back, started a project baaaasically to keep me busy and off the streets..well….not the streets anyways, but to keep me from dyin’ from boredom. I myspaced (yeahp, when THAT was popular) and facebooked everyone who wanted a “zombie caricature” to message me. I got a surprising response, requests, everything from celebrities to movie stars to personal caricatures..i drew somethin’ like 70 odd zombies in a month’s time. That inspired me to keep drawin’ zombies (which I NEVER drew before that project, really at all) and thus this blog was born. I initially considered this to be an annual project I’d take on every October, but if I can get a good response…I might just keep it longer..which I hope to do!!

Digital copies (facebook size) will be formatted as you see with the sample pictures below.

Digital copies are $10.

For those of you that would like something physical to hold and to show off (which would make me VERY flattered), I can make actual prints,

11×14 size, poster paper (semi-gloss) for $25.

And you’d get the digital copy along with the actual poster.

Bam. Just like that. *TO PLACE ORDER, GO TO: zombeezgalore.blogspot.com AND CLICK ON THE “BUY” BUTTON ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE NEAR THE TOP

a few people i drew while chowin’ down at a local burger eatery, Dan’s Burgers..if you in Austin, TX, you should DEF go on by there…delicious burgers

lotsa oldER peeps there today….i drew them with a “small” tip size ink pen, was hopin’ to use my rapidographs, buut its beeen a couple weeks aand i need to clean them apparently, think the ink dried up (whoops)

enjoy!

so…have i told you yet how Wacom is God, in disguise of a computer drawing tablet? b/c it is.

although this is only my 2nd all-digi drawing done on Corel Painter 4 Essentials, i’m seein’ a good difference in my work….

here’s a lil’ step by step on how i created my latest piece, “Soda Monsturr”…i’ve been learnin’ thru trial and error and readin’ other people’s “how to” blogs, so please any questions don’t hesitate to ask!!

started with a digital sketch using the scratch pen…using blue reeeally helps me…and i see a lot of artists using blue for their sketches as well…

got the initial sketch done, then i created another layer, turned down the opacity on the sketch…and started inking, using a fine camel brush…

started working on the other ink layers

turned off sketch layer and created a fill layer

finally, took this bad boy into photoshop to do some color adjustments aand add a background. VOILA!!!

til next time readers, take it easy now!
