Bronx Zoo Sketches

Trying to make the most of my Labor Day 'stay-cation' week, so I went to the zoo! Went by myself since everyone else is at work i assume, and since its a weekday it wasn't too crowded! Rather peaceful. Lovely day for sketching! I tried using my ipad for some color. Worked out pretty well! Got a bit of attention, a little embarrassing. I still feel like some kinda 'Ms fancy pants' sketching on an ipad instead of paper like a normal human being. All sketchbook Pro.

Some ipad sketches

sketching on my Ipad a lot lately. This is done with 
 ASketch.






















And in honor of Deathly Hallows here is some Severus Snape. Also done in ASketch

some more progress

A line up of some of the important characters in Aviary so i can remember their scale to each other.

in order left to right: Gavin, Jae, Klyden, Mo, Cynder, Simon, Big Scary Banshee, Smaller less scary Banshee

I'm not 100% happy with Simon, and I think the actual comic will be in a slightly looser style, but it's still in planning. There's a handful of other important characters I'd like to add to this line up eventually as well.

And this is Terry and James, two other characters from Aviary. They are pretty in a sort of J-rocker way. I feel a little guilty designing characters this pretty. o_O

Did this on my ipad using the sketchbook pro app. One of my first finished ipad drawings. Played with brushes a lot, result is a little tacky, what with all the half-tone but meh, all fun.
