How To Draw A Camel
OK boys and girls, grab some crayons and a piece of paper and I’ll show you how to draw a crazy looking camel! This is an experimental, “what if we did this” video I created for a client.
Yeah, Toast
Most every morning for me begins with toast and black coffee, so the Heywood Banks video below is pretty typical of how I start the day…
My 2012 Video Sketchbook
As you know, every year about this time I grab my sketchbook, step out into the limelight with it and if I see my shadow we all have six more weeks of winter… oh yes, every year about this time I also upload my… Continue Reading “My 2012 Video Sketchbook”
Gigging
I uploaded this quick process video to my YouTube site. The only thing truly noteworthy here is that the music was written, played and produced by my youngest son, Pete.
A Really Quick Dog Video
Here’s another simple technique you might want to try. Find a nice background image, put it underneath your pencil drawing and then paint on top of it…
Flying The Coop

I fired up the magical iShowU software and recorded my work on this little illustration…
A New Direction With Prolifik
I’m trying something a little different with the guys from Prolifik, motion graphics. I hope you enjoy the little Christmas tune below.
Painting Yoda
Today I will finish my Yoda sketch from yesterday. I scanned the pencil drawing, opened it in Photoshop, tossed an interesting green background underneath and started painting on top of it. My goal was not to do a highly finished piece, just something loose and quick… and… Continue Reading “Painting Yoda”
Drawing Yoda
For those that have asked to see me actually DRAW a picture, this is for you. I started with a piece of Georgia-Pacific Card Stock (available at WalMart), knocked out initial shapes with a Prismacolor Col-Erase blue pencil, erased that with a kneaded eraser, added a… Continue Reading “Drawing Yoda”
