David's Sketchbook

Midway in our life's journey...

...I went astray
from the straight road and woke to find myself
alone in a dark wood.

I have always wanted to illustrate Dante's Inferno ever since I read it as a sophomore in high school. It has remained my favorite book ever since.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

Nothing is going to get better.
It's not.

Sculpted these for my sisters for Christmas. I thought they came out pretty well.

Few select pieces of a character I am designing for a short animation. His name is Charlie.

newest addition

2011-05-07T22:36:00.003-07:00

I love sculpting. These are two characters from a story I've done for my portfolio. Neither is finished. I'm about 80% done on the lion, and 70% done on the wolf.

"Good-day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye..."

Cheshire Cat

2011-02-02T21:21:00.000-08:00

Starting an Alice in Wonderland project that I'm going to be using for a segment of my portfolio. Kinda half channeling Mary Blair, half channeling the Provensens. Very graphic style, I want my portfolio to really run the gamut.

"Oh look honey, a deer!"

2010-09-21T20:50:00.001-07:00

Everything with hooves and horns to every tourist is a freakin' deer.

At MNH again, only this time, with brush pen.

Spring Street

2010-09-21T20:43:00.000-07:00

Only real finished piece I got that session... every other pose was very quick gesture stuff. It's a fantastic place.

Museum of Natural History

2010-07-06T21:47:00.000-07:00

Love this place.

Florence Drawings

2010-07-06T19:46:00.000-07:00

Headed to Florence, Italy this June with Sal and Peter. Got a few good sketches out of it, reevaluated a few things... like what the hell direction I'm taking. I'm pretty happy with the way my drawings have been progressing.

Though, now that I went and said that, I've probably gone and totally screwed myself.

Never thought I'd get to draw Saint Gerome... from Saint Gerome.

My favorite view ever:

And a very dear friend of mine.

NOT LUPUS.

2010-04-05T17:21:00.000-07:00

oh man this took me forever. Finish of a project I started way back in William Low's class for the senior show(!) judging tomorrow. Hopefully I make it in!

Model Studies - Portraits

2010-03-19T09:25:00.000-07:00

Did a few portrait studies in my Mentor/Specialization class. I liked the way these came out.

Sleep Paralysis

End of semester, finally.

Talk about being burnt out. Ick.

Wouldn't want this guy at the foot of my bed.

A bit from the good old sketchbook.

2009-10-27T19:42:00.001-07:00

Drawings from on-site at the New York Highline, Met Museum, and from the model. Scans are bad, but I thought the actual work was good enough to post.

I'm totally going to start updating more often I swear.

2009-10-07T20:26:00.000-07:00

I've recently sort of broken through my art block I've been attempting to get over for the last... probably year and a half. It feels good to draw stuff I can look at without cringing, haha.

Saw this woman on my trip to the Manhattan Highline. I had to draw her. Such a character!
