Doodles by Owen

Tarot Cards

2011-05-08T20:57:00.003-04:00

Hey empty, forsaken, rarely updated blog. Here's something to tide you over until I finish school and have time to draw a little more seriously: another school project! We had to design 3 Tarot Cards and a back for them. Now, these cards have some pretty baller illustrations by themselves but I didn't really want to take this project very traditionally, I wanted to make it fun for me, so I envisioned this deck of monster tarot cards. Hope you like 'em.

Tiny Update

2011-03-22T00:10:00.002-04:00

Hello to the couple of people who may have checked this blog in some foolish hope that I''d've updated it, you guys are in luck!

Here's something I just finished up, it's a poster design for my program's end of the year exposition. I don't think I've posted any school projects before this one. If I don't doodle that much in the coming days (see also: weeks) you all may see a few more projects up here.

It's quiet on this blog. Too quiet.

Mini-post today, sorry. I've had a crazy busy past little while but a little post is better than no post. I promise more stuff is coming soon. For right now: two self-portraits of varying veracity, my friend Jo and a bank robber.

'Tis the season for doodles.

Hey everyone, just a little update today.Been on holidays for the past couple of weeks and as such, I haven't been drawing all too much. It's been nice to have this time to relax but I'm going to be drawing (hopefully) for the rest of the break.
Anyways, we've got:
-a statue that's two minutes from where I work
-a weird self-portrait
-my cousin (who's pregnant)
-a page that's all about my friend, Jo, and his profile
-some animals feat. some doodles from my fellow illustrator, Caitlin.
Enjoy.

Also, don't ask me why some images scanned larger than others, I'm not sure.

Midnight Snacks

So, after feeling, and being, very unproductive all day I felt I should do something art-y. This is the result, a couple of silly, unrelated, photoshop doodles. I really enjoy messing around with a pure, black brush that has some pressure sensitivity, there's something so fluid about it. I don't know, time for sleep.

2010-11-19T00:55:00.003-05:00

So, I've a couple more pages from my sketchbook for your viewing pleasure, some self portrait stuff, a girl in my class (is that weird?), and my friend's apartment. Enjoy.

Also, I had just heard Kid Cudi for the first time last week (somehow I missed him last year). For those who don't know, check him out, he's a very talented rapper. So, I'd been pouring over his mixtapes, which I must've been listening to when I did the above piece. The quote is from his song "Pursuit of Happiness".

Self Portraits and Venn Diagrams

Pretty descriptive title (it doesn't say that I was sleepy, but I was).

Wawa Colours

2010-11-16T22:28:00.006-05:00

Multiple posts in a single month may seem a bit scary at first, but I'll try and ease you guys into it.
I've been playing around with watercolours recently and here are a couple of pieces that I like. Both are zombie-related, as this weekend I got all up on the premier of The Walking Dead miniseries. I've read a huge portion of the comics, loved them and the first episode and a half do not disappoint.
(I also was having fun with splatters)

This second piece was a little after I became sort of frustrated with the images I was producing, so I decided I'd cheer myself up. This style is inspired by Scott Campbell, awesome dude extrodinaire, works for Double Fine and makes a hilarious comic for them as well as other stuff.

Sketch-mania

2010-11-10T21:58:00.005-05:00

Here you guys go. I've mentioned before that I draw occasionally and that most of the stuff that I draw is in sketchbooks. Most of it will remain there, but here are a few pieces that I felt pleased with and had enough time to scan. (Please click on the images for higher resolution)

This is a self-portrait (as a banana).

Painting with all the colours of the wind.

So, I have been in school the past little while. That doesn't mean that I haven't been drawing, quite the opposite. I have a bunch of stuff that I've been meaning to scan and will sooner or later.

This was a quick photoshop piece. Almost every drawing I have up here (and in my sketchbook) is in black and white, I wanted to try paining only using color and tones to create forms. That fell apart but i still like it and will probably be using color more often.

Been working on faces a bit. That's what this started off as and I then decided to toss in a funny little body. Alas, I did not have enough room for the arms.

Another doodle. The hand's messed, but I like the look of this guy. He's like a diner cook or something.

Les Yeux, une pratique.

2 posts in one month! Crazy.
Just another quick photoshop doodle. I was trying to get my eyes right, and I like what came out.
The top-right and bottom left eye were drawn with the help of a reference photo.

Not sleeping, just dead.

Just a quick face sketch ~5-10 minutes.

Rise and Shine, Mr. Freeman

2010-05-05T18:51:00.004-04:00

Hey, just a quick update. I do have some drawings to post up here but have yet to get myself to a scanner. But, if you're frustrated just stare into the calming eyes of Morgan Freeman and get lost.

Steampunk Cowboy Doodle

2010-04-14T21:32:00.003-04:00

This is the first of a, hopefully, long string of posts. Here is a quick sketch, I'll hopefully have enough time to flesh it out a bit. Criticisms and comments are always appreciated.
