Sketch… not really of the day.

Alright, so I’m kinda cheating here.  Yesterday’s sketch kinda bombed, so I’m using one I did a while back.  But hey, I never showed this one online, so it still counts, right?  Anyway, this is Talla, a dragon warrior-type character from a comic I’m doodling that might or might not actually be made.  You know how I am.  I should really work on my posing and camera work, these things can get kinda boring…

A Handy Practice Session

Yesterday I decided to draw a nondescript hand drawing a cool-looking knife.  The knife would be like something out of Warhammer 40K, emblazoned with tiny skulls and biomechanical tubes and crap and being two sizes too big.

The knife… didn’t really happen, but that’s okay.  My main focus was on the hand that was holding it.  Let’s face it, I’m terrible with hands.  It doesn’t make me feel bad saying it, even the guys getting paid to do this stuff have trouble with it.  If you don’t believe me, just check out Google.  Anyway, yesterday I actually had a hand turn out decent.  It wasn’t quite in the pose I was going for, but a learning experience is a learning experience.  After some time with it I started going with visual reference (Which is to say, I ogled my hand as onlookers backed away slowly).

Here’s the not-so-final product, with another hand I didn’t quite have time to finish.

HapoVille: The Online Portfolio of Leonard Carwile is now live!

While I’m still clearing away the rubble, dusting off the counters, and filling the french fry vats, my art portfolio has officially begun!  … Minus the art, I mean.  We’ll get there before too long.
For those of you who don’t know who I am – and I can’t imagine how or why you managed to stumble into my site – my name is Leonard Carwile.  I’m an artist.  I Like to draw the more fantastic-type stuff, like fantasy and scifi, and my style tends to stretch out pretty far, from cartoon to anime to American comics.  I like to stay versatile.  For those of you who aren’t a fan of anthro, I will have some of that here, but most likely not enough to make you puke pink dog-headed humans.  For those of you who are just so heavily against even the sight of furries that you go into a fit of rage at the mere sight of a human without a human’s head… uhh… sorry?
And yes, for anyone who’s actually seen them, I’m the guy who drew Spyro Advance and Punk-Pink!, the former of which has been lost to time.  Right now, though, I’m between comics, and in the meantime I’ve been working on my artistry, which is what this site is here for.
So,until my next post, I’ll see you guys.  Feel free to drop a comment or two.
