Hunk in Retro Trunks

I'm going to be doing some super hero character designs for a client soon so I thought I'd get a head start and do some study drawings of the muscle man physique. So, I picked a picture and just drew it as is. Then I put the photo aside and looked at my drawing for inspiration to draw the cartoon version. I liked my cartoon version and decided to ink & color him.

Cartoon Carpenter

Flipping through an old magazine to find something to sketch as a warm-up, I came across this carpenter. So I sketched him out as realistically as possible. Then I decided to re-draw him in a more simplified cartoon version. I was happy with the outcome and decided to ink & color it. This didn't take me too long and was a fun exercise.

IF - Similar

On the outside we all may appear different... but on the inside, we're all more SIMILAR than some people realize. This is my illustration for this week's Illustration Friday.

IF - Balloon

This is my first Illustration Friday submission! On Friday, the word "balloon" was the inspiration for the week and I had just finished stuffing myself with Thanksgiving left-overs. I felt like a big balloon and that's how the idea came about.
