Sketchbooking

Packing up some old sketchbooks while getting ready for another move so I figured I'd grab some scans for a quick sketchdump. No real rhyme or reason just flipped to a page and if I liked it I scanned it.

Since I'm moving from Singapore back to California, my computer/scanner will be on a boat for a while and I won't be able to post much art here. However, I will be posting art through my twitter which you can find here: https://twitter.com/TonyBrescini

Shaggy

A coffee shop sketch (and a dash of Photoshop) that turned into Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Somebody commented that it looked like he had to put Scooby down but I definitely wasn't going that dark with this. I do wish I'd thought of that, though.

Here's the process for a piece I put together for the Dark Horse's "Draw the Goon" contest. I found out about the contest a few hours before the deadline and had to knock this out pretty quickly. 

Step 1: Quick sketch in my sketchbook that I scan, blow up and print out in blueline. Time permitting, I would have played around a bit at this stage to get a few more ideas out and on the paper.

Step 2: Loose pencils. 

Step 3: Final inks. I don't generally pencil very tightly and do most of my actual drawing in ink but in this case, I wish I'd done a bit more of the prep work in pencil.

I may go back and add some tones in Photoshop to punch it up but overall I kind of like it.
