At the Light Table 004


For their 100th Anniversary in 2011, BC Parks is bantering about the return of their mascot, "Jerry the Moose." To support this, I've been working on a few new poses of Jerry, like this one at left, sketching in pencil first, scanning and then tracing the scan in Adobe Illustrator with the Wacom tablet using Illustrator's pressure sensitive calligraphic brush to get the clean inked line. So far the poses have been well received.

Sketching 102

Mickey J rendered with a new "Derwent Sketching Dark Wash" pencil and Holbein Water Brush from Opus Art Supplies. Very cool tools.
