Sunday Fundays: Punk Pyro, Jake Fox

by on December 16, 2018

This drawing isn’t necessarily old but it is from earlier in the year so it’s not the most recent thing in the world either. I have a few stacks of drawings lying about my desk of stuff I’ve scribbled out throughout the year. I’ve finally made some time to shoot, edit, and upload a few photos of some of them.

Instead of putting them up in one massive post, I wanna queue them out on an update schedule I’ve already failed to abide by on several occasions. I’ll describe said schedule in a later post.

For now, please enjoy this maniacal looking Jake that I drew.

   

If I ever came back to this I'd probably paint over and redraw his head in the middle. I wasn't using paint markers like I do currently. [12:16 AM 12/16/18]
Started drawing with ballpoint pen again so I wouldn’t be able to back out of any design choices that I made. Historically, I think I’ve always been pretty bad about “filling the page”.

and some close-up shots because who doesn’t love details shots?

Since a simple upward pointing triangle is the alchemical symbol for fire, I filled some empty space with them. Stars were for fun.
Playing around with his expression. Jake is a kid with sometimes angry eyes and an unwavering smile. 
Experimenting with a hand drawn title logo design.
His Arm! That Flame! Triangles everywhere, oh my!
Anatomy practice with Jake’s exceptionally short arm. I really like how this came out.
I got to thinking about a name I could use if I had to stop using Mage Punk for some unforeseen and implausible reason
The whole time I scratched away at this, I couldn’t decide between drawing Jake’s hair or drawing the flames around his head. In the end, I think it came out pretty cool.

All in all, not a bad sketch.

I really like the two drawings on the bottom. On the left, I stumbled upon what I was going for while one the right, I got what I was going for on purpose.
