Random Doodle Day

Me and best friend Cat running around, because we do that a lot.


Sketch of a boy playing guitar just to practice drawing a background and stuff.


Draw a picture of my friend Mickey because he was really adorable and colored it digitally.

Modern Robin Hood

 Robin Hood. An urban legend. I wanted to take this story that we all know and turn it into a more modern day, but still have those distinct characteristics. Robin Hood is green, has a hood, and a bow and arrow.
I worked a lot on the character I wanted. I looked at what many other artists and movie makes did when they approached a thief, spy, or hacker. I wanted him to have that feeling of mysterious, but not 'bad' or 'evil'.  A phone to allow him to hack into security systems and break into banks and homes. He needed that bow and arrow, no matter what. I couldn't see 'Robin Hood' without it. 



I started in a black and white sketch, then created an overlay of color, just to get some understanding of what colors went where. Then I went ahead to blend and shade, adding more detail along the way. it was tedious to zoom in and get the details all said and done, but I was proud of getting this image done. I draw a lot of people, but barely add background. I focused heavily on the background in the piece, which was not what the assignment asked for, but even then, I am excited to know that I can do backgrounds.
