Fun with Animals!!!

Lately I've been taking these quick trips over to the Los Angeles Zoo, which is no more than a five minute drive from where I currently work. It's a damn good excuse to get away from the office and get some air for an hour or so, but more importantly it gives me the frequent opportunity to draw and caricature live animals... This Giraffe I felt had a VERY muscular neck...so I thought I'd play with it a little.
Not a lot of exaggeration done here...just a simple perspective study.
Being a born and raised Floridian, I've seen a LOT of alligators in my day...but NEVER have I seen one as fat as this fella' was...
...I wounder what they've been feeding him?

These two Silver-backs above were drawn very loosely based(obviously) from a picture in a book I saw at Barnes & Noble. It's just me getting ready for the Gorilla exhibit that's about to open this next month. I can't wait!! :D

KHAN'S RETURN!!!

Hey Everybody! If you've been visiting my blog for a while now, you're probable familiar with my Genghis Khan Character.

My take on the Historic Figure's Larger than life persona. I began developing the character for a short film about two years ago, and although the film got put on the back burner for MANY reasons, my Buddie Rafael Toledo surprised me the other day with this AWESOME drawing of my stocky, short tempered little character. Almost makes me want to jump start the fun little film and get it going again. You can find a link to Raf's blog in my links list to the right to view more of his work.

SCRIBBLES A LA ME!

School House

This is a concept sketch(one of MANY)that I did at work for a school house design. Naturally it wasn't used, but I still think that it's fun.

Sketch book doodles...

William Stout, a Master painter/illustrator...

A caricature of my buddie Raf...

This was some goofy looking old man I saw durring lunch...

Some angry looking, old dude from the bar...

Yet Another Armondo caricature...The coloring was a bit of a failed experiment, however I liked the drawing so I figured I'd post it anyways.

FUN!!!

Here's a sketch I did at our last weekly "Drink & Draw" Gathering.

Skulls

My friend Damion and I got into drawing a series of caricatured skulls recently. At first I was just doing it for fun...but now I'm beginning to think that this might be a pretty healthy exercise for a caricature artists to per take in. It could help in understanding the structure behind some of are more exagerated caricature designs...plus it's just fun!

I think I'm going to make some more of these, and I'll just keep adding them to this post for people to check out.

Fun at Wednesday Night Drink 'n' Draw

Here are a few doodles I did at last night's weekly Drink 'n' Draw Social...it was a Fun time had by all!

When Caricature Artists Attack!

Check out this awesome caricature Chris Meesey did of me! This is what I meant in my last post when I said Chris Meesey was a great caricature artists. It's been a blast working with all of these talented artists and cartoonists over at Universal these past couple of months. I consider it to be a huge learning experience, and I'd encourage anyone who's a cartoonists to spend some time doing live caricatures for this very same reason!
