Lost Innocence animatic

This is an animatic version of the
roughs for a graphic novel I am illustrating for
a company called The Healthy Aboriginal Network
This project is very dear to my heart as it is an
attempt to educate people about the residential schools
here in Canada. This comic doesn't come close to describing the
difficulties Native American children faced in these establishments.

I watched an awesome documentary called
Muffins for Granny , by Nadia McLaren which details the
schools from first hand encounters.

Bugs in the Snow, First Day of Spring

This was just crazy, the snow is piled up to the windows so
we can see like a cross section of the snow
kind of antfarm styles, and my mother
always told me not to eat snow, because there were bugs in it
I never believed her till today! 2 Flys and they are alive!

Watercolor of Matthew

I decided to do a watercolor painting
of my little godson Matthew. I decided it was time to practice
what I preach and really plan stuff out. It looks like a long process but
it really only took me like 2 hours from start to finish I spent more time planning
it out than I did on the actual painting, It was great because it made it almost fool proof
Here's what I did:

I started with a sketch from a Photo
showing the areas of color change

Then I worked out some color studies
in Pencil crayon. This first one was getting to
complicated

so i decided to SIMPLIFY

first layer of light washes

Added in some more washes of shadows

More details and salt texture to the background
cause it makes it feel a bit wintery

Final Painting all framed up,
forgot to turn off my flash though,
OOPS!
