Happy New Years!

Thanks to everyone, friends family and enemies who made this year so great for me! Hope everyone keeps warm and enjoys 2014!

Dino's Colored!

I finally colored my splash page! Thing took forever, and if I have time and people like it I might go back and add a bit more detailing where needed. I'm learning that with colours, keeping it right but then simple is the way to go.

More Tanks!

More tanks for homework! This one was done as a cutaway to see some of the inside mechanics!

Green Lantern: Full Process

A full process Green Lantern. I think that my pinups are coming together this year, and hopefully my narrative pages will follow suit soon.

A Magneto Marriage!

Sir Ian Mckellen and Michael Fassbender couple!

A fun humor assignment! Putting together the two Magnitos, since Sir Ian Mckellen mentioned wanting to marry Michael Fassbender. Just a bit of modest smut!.

This is premiering on my buddy Andrews website at Uysfaber.com!

Dino's in New York!

A fun assignment to draw Dinosaurs attacking New York City! I am hoping to color it soon, and never do such wacky perspective again.

Dinosaurs in Times Square!

A Horror Image. We were given spooky quotes and had to create an image that tells the story. My line was "I am vigilant about Demons trying to steal my body. This one belongs to me!"- or something along that line.

More Boba Fett Inks

Here are the inks for my Boba Fett pages. Special thanks to past USYers Danny and Yigal for letting me use them as my soldiers!

Superman Unbound!

A fun, full production piece featuring Superman. Experimented a lot and I definitely found things I like in the final page.

Superman Fighting Braniac!

Narrative Art Pages: Boba Fett!

These are some narrative assignment pencils. I tend to change a lot in the inks so I think they will be interesting. The first two are a story where two boys are in the woods, so to make it interesting I got some of the young folk in my youth programs. Also Boba Fett

And these two were about and alien in the old west. A good practice in drawing muscle tissue.

Donkey Story!

Painting Landscape: Reproduction 

Darth Maul Painting: Reproduction

Some Paintings that we do in Second year. It's a way to learn about color and explore new mediums. Normally I don't just reproduce a painting, so it was a nice exercise. Love me some Episode One!

Batman Cover, Gotham City!

It's fun that I can now draw Batman! This was a cover assignment we had to do and I wanted to do something a little more surreal.

Batman in Gotham!

Batman in Gotham inks!

Rosh Hashana Card!

We had to do Greeting card illustrations and I had an idea for the creation of the universe-For a Jewish New Year card!. I'm starting to connect with digital colouring and think that I can start making things more successful with colours.

The Creation of the Universe

Iron Man! Niagara Falls! Art!

We had a fun assignment where we had to sell a product in a two page comic book story. Because of my experience working at Niagara Falls and the challenge of drawing the Iron Man armor, this story came together in my head pretty quickly. The day it was due I found out that Iron Man and M&M's were teaming up to sell something. Foresight is everything!

Some fun humour pieces that I did. I am working on my sense of humor, so I tried to write what I know. Sadly, Judiasm and Star wars seem to be my range.

I Find Your Lack Of Faith Disturbing

Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give A Ham

Jewish Holidays

Some fun Methods Assignments! This is on a cool kind of paper called Duotone. Allyways are fun to draw! 

And a Portrait of my brother Ben. Hoping to practice stronger contrast between light and dark. Also, people who know him will know that this is the only time in history that he will be wearing a hat!

SHAZAM!!!!

A fun story assignment, where I got to draw buildings and lightning at the same time. I like how my buildings are coming along., I hope the faces and figures catch up soon. On the bright side Black Adam (The evil Shazam) looks upset and his eyeballs are lightning... so I'll enjoy the moment as it is...

Black Adam Revealed!

Lost Art

My love for LOST, My unyielding love for LOST in this story adaptation piece! This was a good piece to practice colouring. Enjoy!

Lost Jack at the Beginning, inks!

Lost: Jack at the Beginning Colors!

Breaking Bad Humor Piece

Walter White at the Beginning. 

Another Humor piece! I watched Breaking Bad in one week, it's as good as everyone said so this might be my first of many drawings to honour the show!

New York Comicon and FIrst Published Comic

What an Amazing Weekend! I got to go to New York Comicon, met many art heroes I had. I feel I learned a lot from what was told about my work and I can really focus on making the changes I want in my art.

And if that was not enough, I get home and my first print run of a comic book is waiting for me! 100 copies of my educational comic "Into the Mind of USY"! Thanks to my friends at the Mansion who helped me bored the books and I cannot wait for all of my participants to see their hard work and dedication rewarded. I cannot wait to see where these things lead a year from now!

This is a Self promotional piece that I did for school! Smiley's rule!

A fun piece for humour class. I am not the best at making fun of celebrities, but I am glad that it looks a bit like the old President!

All I can say it "TANK YOU" to everyone who wished me a happy birthday today! 

So I am back at the Kubert School, and this is my first narrative assignment that I wanted to share. We were given a page description and had to adapt the concept into our own story. I threw a lot into this one and feel that I learned a lot in new ways to render different elements. Look to see those microscopic people in future pieces

This drawing shows my beginning to second year at the Kubert School. Nice new challenges to keep up with! I will try to update my blog more often this time around!

Art Blog on UysFaber

Hey all, I have been posting and explaining some of my current comic book work on the blog Uysfaber.com and encourage you to check it out. I go into detail about way makes some of my assignments different than others and the process things took,  so it is worth the read

http://www.uysfaber.com/blog/smiley-spot-art-kubert-school-part-4

I wanted to share these pieces because, they were my two most confounding pieces I did this year yet I might have learned the most from them. The first one was my attempt at a dynamic perspective, and having it be far too contorted let me learn more about perspective later on. Carful when looking at this one, people tend to get dizzy!

The second one- which I still don't really know what it is :)!- helped me again with perspective, but this time with the difference between camera angels. Meaning that for this piece to work, I would have had to show the entire thing from an down-shot, which I personally could not have mastered if I did not see it in this piece.

I am proud of what I learned from these pieces and wanted to share what lessons I have been learning this year more than what I felt was successful artwork.

 Check out all of my comic artwork here!

Justice Society

This piece marked the halfway point during the year at the Kubert School. The assignment was the same as our initial assignment (the one with the sword!) and we needed to consider the aspects of art that would inform our artwork.

I spent a lot more time on this one than I did with my earlier pieces and while there was a bit of struggle, I ended up liking the textures and patterns I used to bring the piece together. 

And for the uninitiated, These are some members of the Justice Society, The first team of Comic Book Superheroes.

This was an assignment to do a wraparound cover, meaning the front and back cover make one image. My plan was to throw as many people into the composition as I could while still being readable.

Dog

In Another inking Assignment, this is a dog I drew to practice inking lines with a brush. It enhances my long love of drawing as many dots as I can in my work, as you will keep seeing.
