Character Design: Monster's Favorite Toy
This is one of those design ideas that came from a simple pen and pencil sketch...as simple doodle that was nothing more than that, until I rotated the sheet. That is when the inspiration hit me to design this little monster.
Composition: Fantasy Landscape "The Toxic Fisherman"
I use The Toxic Fisherman sketch to discuss the aspects of composition and the thought process using one's imagination to expand from a simple design. The big thing to remember is "Don't Be Afraid To Fail"...put it down and erase what you don't like...experiment with the design and have fun.

Caveman
Another one from my travel sketchbook. he started out as a doodle and morphed into a rough design sketch. As my normal workflow lately; I started this with my Pentel Mechanical pencil and then added value with Charcoal at a later date.
Cleaning a Sketch with Corel Painter
I thought it would be beneficial to show how I clean up sketches before posting to my Blog. Here I used my Caveman sketch [from my 5x7 sketchbook] as an example in Corel Painter. One can also use Photoshop or a free painting suites such as Krita to accomplish the same.

MyPaint 1.1 for Windows
Just want to let you know that I am still alive and well. I have been working on other projects and haven't made time to post anything ...only responding to questions on YouTube.
I have been meaning to post a video on how to use MyPaint 1.1 on Windows, but in that time people have been creating builds that will do the same, with less steps.
"Alien Buggy" - The Making Of
This is an overview of my workflow of a design sketch that I did recently. I cover the design stages and the pitfalls of not having a sold composition planned out at the beginning.

Alien Buggy
Alien Buggy was started as a design sketch, then later I added an environment. I used mostly graphite pencils, sticks with blenders, Verithin for sharp edges. Then I cropped and added the border in Photoshop. I truly enjoy doing fantasy designs with unusal characters.
Fantasy Crow
"Fantasy Crow"
This sketch was done in graphite with the dark tones add with Prismacolor Verithin and Premier pencils on a 60lb smooth sketch pad.Creature Design from Noise
This is a sketch I did the other night. It started out just as a contour line drawing of the head only, which I molded with values. The idea came from "Noise" ...what I saw in an abstract object.
Digital Painting instead of Traditional Painting?
Why Digital Painting instead of Traditional Painting? I get asked this question a lot. Of course neither is better than the other but for me there were many advantages starting with digital painting.
How To Create A Digital Artists Blog
Every digital artist has one thing in common ...the need to display their art on the Internet. But going about doing that can be somewhat confusing since there are many different avenues and approaches. Here I will discuss my views and processes of displaying content on various sites, creating online portfolios, linking them together, simple workflows and the use of free and open-source applications that I use.
