Epic Chris Curran Picture

HUUAAHAHH!

More weird doodles

I've been experimenting with some styles recently, I'm trying to veer from my normally cutsey cartoons to a more ugly cartoon type style.  I like to think of it as the dark cabaret of the visual art world, if there can be such a thing.  So yeeeaaahh...

Sorry all my posts have been crappy sketchbook pictures, I'll try to have some 'polished' work up soon.

I like the chick on the bottom left the most - tee hee~

And I had a couple other sketchbook pictures that I put up, but I took them back down because I hardly think they are worthy enough -sniff-

Nile made me do it!

Nile is forcing me to update!  MYEAH!
Even though I don't like any of my sketches this time...

Here is a sketch that I did in class, I was trying to draw free handed without using the 'circle skeleton guide', just go straight into drawing the features instead of a gestural drawing first.  I kinda do that a lot when I'm just doodling to get used to doing a large variety of arches and angles on the first try, even though they don't look like much they are awesome practice and fun to do too! :D

I can't remember what I was thinking when I did this, but for some reason I like the monkey kid.  (Sorry that the page is at an angle, it makes him look kinda scrunched up, but hes not really!  Honest!)

And this last one is Ashley from the Evil dead series (technically he didn't acquire the chainsaw hand until Evil Dead 2 *giggle snort*)  My roomie and I decided to set up the xbox in the commons to watch it on the big tv, only to have everybody and their brother come by and make fun of the stop motion effects...  BLASPHEMY  (Aren't art kids supposed to be open minded? *sob sob*)

Welp that's all for now. . .  I wish I had a better way to end this post, like a nice conclusion paragraph to frame the nice meaty and juicy parts of this fantabulous post but uh... bai.

Hallo!  I've been drawing like crazy lately, I just beat my last sketchbook fill record by filling up a 210 page sketchbook in under 2 weeks!!!  Wowza, some of those things last me 2 to 6 months.  My favorites lately are for some reason the skritchy scratchy ink sketches.  I'm pretty happy with them now, but I know in like a week or so I will be ashamed of them and wish that I hadn't put them up.

My two artist obsessions of the week would have to be Dave McKean and Ralph Steadman,  I've been so obsessed I have even been dreaming in their art styles.

Here are some monkeys.

I like this lil bugger the best ^

AH - Sketchbook ink doodle

Some doodles I made today in Art History class during the 5 minute break.  Sorry for the crappy quality of the picture of my sketchbook, my camera just got kaput and now I'm resorting to using my laptop web cam.
