Some Sketches and Illustrations Summer 2009 – taterboy
June 1st, 2009 | Filed under: General Info
Some of you may be aware, I know I bring it up all the time, that I began my career as an illustrator. With all of the programming and UI stuff, it could be months between having opportunities to pick up a pencil. So my sketchbooks are filled with notes, website grids and UI diagrams instead of drawings. I am trying to find time to do more sketching, like in high school, I may not pick the best places to start sketching, but the point is to find time to practice.
There have not been very many graphics on the blog, so I hope to balance things with a few sketches and illustrations from the last year or two. They are just sketches, but it is cool to see some of the different styles and subjects.
Here are a couple sketches done in meetings, hopfully everyone else thought I was taking notes. How strong is your horse stance?



Some sketches and illustrations used for invitations to my sons 7th birthday party. I love comics and had a lot of fun with these.




A couple preliminary characters sketches for Box of Sox, our latest iPhone game.


I quick super hero sketch. “If I could fly, maybe I could get out of this meeting.”

One of my most recent illustrations done for charity. See if you can figure out what the green thing is supposed to be, that’s why we are supposed to use reference.


A few quick sketches of some famous people.



Below are some vector illustrations once used to make task charts when my kids were little. Now we use handipoints to keep track of chores and allowance. Below is a pdf that can be opened in Illustrator. If you can find a use for them, feel free.
