"May The Pencil Be With You!"

 


"To Boldly Draw Where No Artist Has Drawn Before..."

 

May the Pencil be with you!



I have never seen Star Wars before, but I know some of the characters. And so I began to draw Yoda, it was only going to be a simple sketch of Yoda, but it looked good after I added some color to him - when he was finished it looked like he was playing baseball with his lightsaber in batting stance and it continued to evolve into a baseball field with a few more Sar Wars characters and I naturally added the Star Trek ship, 'The Enterprise.'

Originally Spok was going to be pitching the ball, but it didn't turn out - the page was too small and he appeared too close to Yoda from the mound so I decided to cancel that idea.

Yoda at-bat!


Chewbacca


Another stormtrooper


There is the sky, and look at that Star Wars poster behind Chewbacca - lots of emphasis! Ohhhhh.


A close-up of The Enterprise.


And the finished piece!  As you can see, there only ended up being one thing from Star Trek - The Enterprise. So it is mostly a Star Wars drawing. This piece was done with colored pencils. And if you are wondering why the baseball isn't perfectly round it is because the ball is traveling at an incredibly fast speed.

Thank you for viewing my art! Have a nice day.

Imaginary Landscape

 

The Idea


It started off with a sketch, a preliminary idea to map out before beginning the final drawing. 

In other words - An idea popped into my head, "I'm going to draw a kitchen." So I drew a kitchen. "Oooh, I like it." "No, not quite." I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase!

Then another idea comes to mind. I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind, but floating on the lake. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase!

Then another idea comes to mind. I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind, but with steps going nowhere. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! ""Oh no, I ripped the paper, too much erasing!"

"I think I'll stick with the kitchen on the lake."



I did some more sketching to get the right view on the bigger paper, which took a while. And below are some pictures I took as I progressed through with my art.

And there you have it, an imaginary landscape - right from my mind. 
Done with colored pencils on 14 X 17 inch paper.

Perspectively in Perspective

 1 Point Perspective

Last week I drew a room using perspectives, one point perspective to be exact. One vanishing point, all angles vanish to a single point - just like when you look down a railroad track.


For this picture I followed a tutorial on one-
point perspective, so it didn't come from my imagination, but from my hand I did sketch it.

Next Project

Currently in the studio I am working on a few different projects. Between my school artwork like this one-point perspective, I have a self portrait started and a Star Wars/Star Trek colored pencil drawing in progress.
