Dancing Skeleton Reference Behind-the-Scenes

Here's a little behind the scenes to my October Monster Madness sketch series.... The Dancing Skeleton was based on a famous pose of the late great Fred Astaire! You can see it light in the background. Then I just used some general human skeletons for reference. Using them I sketch atop Fred Astaire's photo where his bones would be. I even drew his shoes. I added a mustache to my skeleton, partly to show that I didn't mean for it to be Fred Astaire's skeleton, but used him only for reference.

Early Fat Baby Sketches

Here are some of the first attempts at finding Fat Baby's drawing style.

Fat Baby Pencil Sketches

Here are a few pencil sketches from my new children's book, Fat Baby. After I sketched the artwork, I inked it. Then I scanned them all into the computer, where I colored the images, assembled scenes (where necessary), then exported the images for the final product. I will post inked versions of these pencil sketches later.

Fat Baby: Coming Soon

I just finished and uploaded my second book to www.lulu.com. It is called "Fat Baby" and it is a collaborative work with Milton Hendricks. Milton is a friend of mine, who also serves as half of our Forwarding Agent staff for our mission to Italy. His wife, Elizabeth, is the other half. It is a book that we have been working on for three years. So it is nice to have it finished and published. It should be available for print or download within the next week or so, I will post when it happens. Soon I will be posting some of the production work in pencils, ink, etc... for the book as I went along.
