“Untitled”, Update #1

Assuming Flickr’s weird DNS issues aren’t effecting the display of the image, here’s what I’ve been working on over the past few days:

Though it appears that this is quite a lot of progress, its really only a few hours of work. The drawing itself is pretty small on the 9×12 surface so its going pretty quickly. I’ve not decided if I’ll leave it this way or crop it to a smaller size.

This is, of course, my son Emre shooting deadly rays of cuteness from his eyes. I took the reference photo of him in November in my studio while I was working on this drawing of him. As I worked, I would occasionally show him the drawing, and he would light up with a huge grin on his face (He does this with all of my drawings, now – he looooves to look at artwork). So, I grabbed the camera, got down on the floor with him and took several photos of him using the drawing as “smile bait”. This is the best of them all.

I’m pretty happy with the way this one ended up, and I had a lot of fun doing it. Easily my new favorite!

“Ultranormal II”, Update #9

Still a wee bit of work left to do on the tongue, but it wasn’t even half as difficult as I had thought it would be. I’ve no reason to believe that the next update won’t be the finished drawing.
