Cousin Tony and the Teletoon. + Life Drawings + Sketches

Hey. Initially this post had only lifedrawing but i figured I should share some good news with everyone.

And some sketches.

Our group film "Cousin Tony" won the 3rd place at Teletoon Scholarship competition in Ottawa. Thank you everyone who helped during the process. And thank you Teletoon!

These are some sketches I post on my walls.

Horray! Smeared Edges turn 50.... posts.

Yes, who would have thought that this blog was going to last that long. But 3 years later blogging is still one of my favorite activities on the internet. I would like to thank all of my visitors, you folks are awesome!
And to celebrate this event I have decided to add more sketches.
Here is a layout for my 4th year film.

Last time I checked, my friend and co-worker Jack Yu, was working on a story "Space Cowboy". After looking at his artwork I wanted to draw something space related so here is my "Space Pirate". And no I'm not planning on making a film out of it.

Random Character:

Super Sexy Walls!

I realized that I haven't posted any lifedrawing in a while, so here we go:

COUSIN TONY ---- COMPLETED

Probably many of you heard the news already.
We have successfully finished our film. All the scenes are now colored and composited.

Many thanks to everyone who stayed in school for one extra week to make sure the work is done. In particular I want to thank Laurin Wolf, Francis Yeh, Ann Marie Roberts, Natasha Lukman and Dan Chan and their commitment to excellence. I also would like to thank my buddy Cliff Mcardle without whom this project would be a creative nightmare.

WOOHOOO!!

Here are some more scenes from our film:

Cars Cars Cars

extreme speed painting :)))

It's been exactly a year since i posted any of my "Man Vs Machine" paintings... enjoy
I've also been having some technical problems. I hooked up a big monitor to my laptop, but for some reason the other monitor is showing colors to be more saturated than they actually are (and since i use it to paint it becomes a big pain). Does anybody know a universal monitor setup software that i can use to precisely make necessary adjustments?

Massive Winter Update... enjoy it with a cup of hot chocolate

End of Summer -back to School Update! ... man that was fast...

I decided to post my sketches this time. I haven't done that for a while...
When I living in Halifax I was taping my sketches on the wall, eventually i ran out of walls and I started taping them on the ceiling. And when I had a window open the sketches would move as if they were animated.... it was awesome!!! I also experimented with different styles... enjoy!
(Please note some of the Halifax sketches are copied from Jenny Clements, Steven Silver and other artists who inspire me.)

Summer Fun Animatic Post

Hi guys. Just couple days before we went on the summer break, I've asked Kamal and Kayla to do a quick recording so I could stay busy over the summer.My plan was to finish the animatic in the beginning of June. At that point i didn't know that i would spend my summer in Halifax, and that definitely affected my schedule. Recently i was finally able to put my concept together. This is not a pitch for the 3rd year film but rather a practice. Hope you like what i have so far. Please tell me which version you like more. Hope you're all having a good summer.

7/7/7

What a day! Good luck everyone!
I wish i could post more of my artwork, but without a scanner my hands are tied.

I did this caricature yesterday from memory. This is my high school physics teacher, Robert Heathcote (I haven't seen him in three years). Great man, great teacher.

And this photo i took on Canada day in Halifax. Great fireworks!

or more stuff from Halifax

We went to see Ocean's 13 on the weekend... and this is the receipt. :)



More photos from Halifax are here, just follow the link:

Homestyle Cooking! + Halifax Life Drawing (Updated)

Just a small fun piece.
Still struggling without my scanner.....

Today we were lucky to get some life drawing in King's College (Halifax), I still feel a little rusty, but it was really lots of fun!

Never Give Up! ....or else....

Hi guys! How is it going.

Just a lil' summer update dedicated for those people who are thinking about giving up.
Never give up!

Oceans Of Time/Oceans of Rain....

Hi guys...... and girls! Some of you already know, but recently I moved to Halifax, joining a lot of other Sheridan folks, and the way things are going now, the plan is to stay here until the end of the summer. The weather here is quite different, in fact it’s still cold and windy, and the winter jackets stay on. It’s getting warmer gradually, but it’s nothing like the summer in Toronto. Though I haven’t seen most of the Halifax yet,(busy at work) but the city is quite different from what I expected. It’s nowhere near being a quiet town that I thought it was. And excluding the last two days------- IT’S RAINING ALL THE TIME.


More photos and artwork are on the way.... Surprisingly it’s really hard to get everybody to sit in one place.... )))

Super Big Summer Update... Yeah!

A lil' bit of this a lil' bit of that.

Summer Life drawing, colored sketches and old photos from the good old days.
And if you think cowboys and accordions don't mix think again.

The Crucial Thrust

Against All Odds

This painting is dedicated to anybody who had to face the impossible and was able to come out as a winner.

More Sketches

Some of my drawings have a life of their own)))
In this case a perfect example of that would be the second sketch.

The first one however, is one of my rough drafts for a calendar (Sagittarius).

Work in progress....

The Last Supper

Happy New Year!!!


This work was very spontaneous, (the quality of the original sketch wasn't that good, but it kept my options open when it came to painting).


So... My question to you guys...



What is she thinking about?
