Gollum in Colored Pencil

He's done!!  Gollum from LOTR. I have had the pencils for awhile. Drew a flower with them, didn't like them and they collected dust until I decided to give them another try. I love the color blue and had purchased some tinted paper to try and this seemed a good character choice to experiment with the color.

Gollum is such a sad soul, lot's of character and fun to draw. He was so passionate about that ring and other times being loyal to Frodo.

"The Hobbit" was the first book I remember reading given to me by my mom 30 yrs ago. Gollum always scared but intrigued me and still does.

Reference is a from a LOTR cover. Character creation, credits etc. belong to J.R.R Tolkien, LOTR, Andy Serkin the CG crew.

Dr. Frankenfurter (Tim Curry) WIP

Update Nov 6th WIP#3
Update WIP#2 (Nov 4th 2009)

WIP(October 23rd, 2009) in it's very rough stages of Dr. Frankenfurter (Tim Curry) from Rocky Horror Picture Show, on Bristol 2 ply 300 series smooth (1st time using this paper and enjoying it over the vellum so far).  As you can see I don't work one corner and down, I tend to be all over the place once.  I start with the eyes to have some company and keep felt or paper under my hand to prevent oil or smudges.

I'm finishing up projects and spent time with my son before he left for boot camp today.  Travis is a Sailor and we're all very proud of him.  Travis has a great sense of humor and I'll miss hearing his laughter at movies, jokes and his daily stories while he is away.  Seeing as how Tim Curry has brought many laughs through my generation and my kids it's a drawing I couldn't resist.

Tom & Jerry for Garrett

16x20 Tom and Jerry Illustration for my son Garrett.  He has to do a speech in his oral communications class.  He asked me to draw an illustration with Tom laughing ("holding his stomach mom or the class won't get it, k!") and Jerry holding back his "uncle" from attacking Tom.

First thing I asked was if I was doing something he was assigned lol and the answer was no, he told the teacher his idea and she said "your going to draw this?"  His reply was heck no I got connections, my mom's an artist, she will!".

The paper was from school with the football schedule on back, very glossy thin stuff.  So it doesn't have any tooth for colored pencil that's as dark as I could get it without bloom, and too thin for my watercolor. At any rate this was a fun one to draw out, after a couple of my sketches got the nix by him this design was approved lol :)

Focus - Cat Portrait

An update on a current work.  I am now about 50% done having finally decided how I wanted to do the ears, it's changed several times and really blocked me progressing this piece lol.   I'm still alittle undecided on the title but as of now I'm going with "Focus"  or "Fixation".

9x12 Graphite on Bristol Vellum

I have 2 cats, one of which was reference for this image.  I watch her in the yard and she can sit for 10+minutes at a time completely still and focused on the hunt.  She likes to chase squirrels lol.

Cala Lily in Colored Pencil

Had a set of Prismacolor colored pencils (watercolor & normal) for a few years, tried them a couple times wasn't digging it.  Since I started the Gollum portrait in colored pencil decided to keep playing with them.

A Lily on 8x10 tinted pastel paper using the colored pencils.  Sorry for the shadowy photo.  The paper is actually an off-white.
