I’ll be hosting another live Artcast for the Artcast Network on Wednesday May 19 at 9PM Eastern time. Stop by via your browser and watch me draw live, with an interactive chat window to ask questions.
Artcasts usually run about 2 hours, stop by for as long as you can.
This cartoon octopus character was created for a client developing a new baby product to help with diaper rash.
Believe it or not, I had not drawn a cartoon octopus until this project, so I was looking forward to it. I will say that I underestimated the amount of work all those tentacles and suckers were.
If you head over to the new Ustream page I set up, you can now access my live video drawing, sketching & vector sessions right from the blog! When there’s no live broadcast you’ll get access to the archive of recorded videos. Even cooler, the chat is also embedded.
Stay tuned as I plan to ramp up the live screencasts in the coming weeks.
Quick video recording from my live Ustream channel. This time, some vector art in porgress. Added the color and initial shading to a cartoon dog character design.
