Sketch-a-day 025

Dear Dave,

Here is your request, as my interpretation. I hope you enjoy it. 

Sincerely,

Michael J. Puncekar

Expect some short stories I've written in fiction class to accompany the next few. Also expect another one to be posted today due in lack of posting one yesterday. Gotta get back on track with these.

Sketch-a-day 024

Just a really, realy quick one today I did during a film and lit lecture on our reading assignment. Just one of those where it was just smooth from beginning to end with no real screw-ups. Just scanned the packet, as I liked how just stuck on it was. May post another one today, since this one was so quick and I have some time to do one, now that the hell week has ended. 

Just been so inspired lately due to all you dudes and dudettes. Specifically watching Eric Fortune and Joe Kovach painting in the illustration lab here at school. Makes me want to buckle down and try a really rendered piece, of which it's not something I've really tried before. Of course, I say that... then post this.

So. Here is my Styles and Concepts class assignment. Did I miss the mark on the likeness? Entirely. But I try not to see these things as failures. This is just an experiment. Yeah. An experiment. Pretty much a speedpaint that was taken a bit further than usual. Started it from scratch at 8 pm. It is now 4 am. I'd say 6 hours or less in total.

Now that it's done... I'm thinking I'm gonna put on an episode of hell's kitchen on hulu and fall asleep. Wish I had some Andy Griffith Show instead though. 

Oh, and if you are wondering who this is supposed to be, well. If someone can guess it, that I haven't told, I'll do a sketch-a-day specially for you. But bless your mind if you can actually get it. 

Sketch-a-day 022

Three quick comps for black and white tomorrow. Assignment was to do a dvd cover, so i chose one of my favorite movies. I think it works out and sets the tone well enough. Worked harder pumping out thumbs than these though. I want to do the center one. By far my favorite. I doubt I can get away with the last one and receive a good grade even though it's my second pick.

 Have two marker sketches I did today specifically for the sketch-a-day, but no time to dig my scanner out. Have to prep for a writing fiction workshop in 4 hours. It's crazy just how badly I manage my time. Thank goodness I'm a night owl. Here I come microsoft word. 

And tomorrow barreling through a full illustration I've been putting off for a few weeks. If you see this Mahan, this Celebrity/Animal assignment... I hate it with passion.

Sketch-a-day 021

Today's sketch isn't much of a sketch, its my comic-book homework due tomorrow. This one, once it got moving was a ton of fun. Forgot how much I love drawing monsters, and moreso tails of monsters. Characters are based loosely off of the character concepts given in class, along with a script. It'll be interesting to see how all the pages read together. Every student in the class was assigned a page. Good first assignment for the semester. Interesting, but easy. Got all the basics with it. Next up is a cover contest for it. Excited for that. 

P.s. don't make fun of the last panel. I know it's weak. 

Sketch-a-day 020

Hard to believe this is only no. 20. This isn't the one I wanted to post up and work on today, but this is what I have. One of these days I'll play catch up, with just some plain old sketches. They're all here. Till then: Ugly Floating Plant Baby. Time to start cranking away at my comicbook page.

Sketch-a-day 019

Yiss Mur-ray.

Season 2 has been so good thus far. I recommend it whole heartedly, because it is up there with the claw game ep of arrested development and the Sandwich day ep of 30 rock. Anyway, I really needed to work on my portraits in general, even if these are exaggerated. I have enough sketches done to cover me till wednesday, but tomorrow I have a semi important one I haven't had the time to sit down and draw properly. Pretty excited.
