Clutz...

From today...

I didn't get to watch the UFC pay-per-view tonight, but here's an entry from one about a month ago...

Negative space...

I tried playing around with negative space last night. With the UFC coming up TONIGHT I figured I'd try painting a fighter.

Black eye...

My black eye has become much more significant since the last picture I posted. Not quite sure why, but it has turned all kinds of black and blue. I'll post another picture soon. It's awesome!

Scholastic Art Awards

 

Second visual journal of the week complete. 

UFC fights tonight! My predictions...

Anderson Silva beats Vitor Belfort by first round KO
Rich Franklin beats Forest Griffin by second round KO
Jon Jones beats Ryan Bader by decision
Ben Vaughn beats veggie pizza by complete domination.

It's going to be a great night!

UFC and watercolors...

Who would have thought UFC and watercolors could go together so well?

Just putzing with watercolors today. No visual journal.

Ultimate Fighter Finale...

This is a little late, but I'm at my parents' house and I couldn't figure out how to use their scanner. Now I'm in business.

I used some reference from the show. Great night of fights. The fighters who I wanted to win, won for the most part.

More likenesses...kinda...

Another try at a UFC likeness. Drawing people and making them look like them is not easy. Any guesses?

UFC Fighter...

Felt like trying to draw a likeness of somebody. Not sure it worked. Any guesses?

Slowly but surly...

An old post finally water colored.

Another sketchbook down...

Still behind on water coloring, but the illustration and writing part I'm caught up on.

I managed to finish another sketchbook! That's two since I started doing the blog nine months ago. I never got through that many that quickly whenI was drawing in college. I've improved so much more too. Not just copying other peoples' work. I'm creating my own now!

Here are a couple of my favorite pages from the sketchbook. Thanks for sticking along for the ride.

UFC 103...

Spent too much time destroying my bathroom today so it's just a sketch. I'll pull double duty tomorrow and get caught up.

Rich Franklin lost. What a bummer.

UFC 102...

Not my best work, but wanted to be done. Bummer that Randy didn't win.

UFC 100...

UFC 100. Awesome. Lesnar was a bit disrespectful after the fight, but we'll see how he reacts in the future.

UFC 99...

UFC 99 is tonight! Great first day of summer vacation!
