006 - Composure • No Drama Obama

Sums it up don't you think?

I pencil sketched this quite roughly than fine-tuned it with pen and ink. Colored with pencil and polished up in Photoshop.

On another note, my second day at Pocket Hercules has been great. Fast-paced and never a boring moment.

003 Self Defense

0428_braden_smith_fin

I used pen and ink to illustrate this and then waited a few moments to get the right texture before I snapped  a shot with my Canon Rebel. Several months ago, I became a member of JPGMag.com, an online community of photographers. A great place for exposure and an opportunity to get published. I posted this along with a few others and have enjoyed the feedback. I used this "Self Defense" mechanism concept and transferred it over to a WWF ad, which I will post on a later date. 

Today, is the most holy of Sundays. All Saints Day!!! ... and I'm not even Catholic. I hope the Saints make my birth state proud.
