Mechanical Batman II

Mechanical Batman II

2.5x3.5

Ink

My second attempt at drawing a mechanical Batman. The design is very different from the first, very challenging to come up with mechanical pieces. I'll improve eventually...hopefully.

Ink

My attempt at drawing a mechanical Batman. It turn out to look more like a cat than a bat, probably because of the ears. I should have made them longer. I'll be drawing another mechanical batman, see if that one turns out better.

Megatron and Optimus

Megatron and Optimus Prime

2.5x3.5

Watercolor

I can't wait for the new Transformers movie and what better way to celebrate then by drawing both Megatron and Optimus. I decided to make these into one art piece, since you can't have a hero without a villain. Originally, I was going to used makers but watercolor is more fun to work with.

Another character played by Mexican comedian Eugenio Derbez. Just look up "Instructions Not Included" and you will know who I am talking about. He used to have a popular show in the late 90's.

This is one of many characters played by Eugenio Derbez. He is a well knows Mexican comedian and director of the movie "Instructions Not Included". Have any of you seen it?

Mechanical Monster

A new item is for sale on e-bay, that of course means that the previous sale has ended. However, this new item will be, on the bigger perspective of things, new design for my Mechanical Eden. An environment that developed from one of my 16x20 pieces I did in 2011 for an art show. Well, like the last sale, I only made a limited run of this lino block, like it should be, of 25.

Tomb Raider Contest

This is the piece I entered to a Tomb Raider contest on deviantart. Simple, yet stylish. A bit off from what I had in mind for the background.

Funny Expressions

Here is the latest e-bay auction for ACEO's. Did I mention it's a set of 5. It was done with a water brush and ink. and like always, the auction lasts for 7 days. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACEO-Original-Drawing-Funny-Expressions-By-JJCruz-/181049445291?pt=Art_Drawings&hash=item2a27634bab *this auction has ended.

Jenny!!

Continuing to practice using digital tools. This time I wanted to draw without using black lines. The result was very satisfying, since it's very graphical looking. I can picture it in a shirt or poster. Also, I used my friend Jenny as a character, since I don't have to spend time designing one. I'll continue to do this until I gain more experience designing my own characters. =)

The Fangs

Another digital project to practice my cell shading skills. I didn't put to much time on the characters, because my purpose was to practice coloring. I just based them off two twins that I know. I'm actually happy with the turn out. However, I will continue to practice, and what I learn this time around is to make my lines much thinner as possible.

Night Watcher

My attempt at drawing and painting digitally again. I haven't done this in a while, so I hope you can cut me some slack. I was going for a cell shaded animation look. If you have any tip for improving my coloring digital skills I will grandly appreciate it. =)

Mask and Patterns

Working with mask's and patterns. I like the turn out for the first and third drawing, because of the contrast. Second drawing seems to be blending in with the color of the card stock. Oh well.

The King, The Queen, & The Witch

This is what I had more in mind when using gold or silver pen. It's simple yet has an elegant look. The difficult part was drawing the squares in the background.

Rob's Story

This is the first and last time I use white charcoal to do an illustration. It was difficult to do small details with charcoal. Especially, when your working on a 2.5"x3.5" card stock. I'll just stick to ink.
