Passion Pit Illustration

I've been wanting to do music related illustrations for awhile now. Since I listen to Passion Pit everyday, I decided to do a fan art/mock cover art for them. All the individual portraits are done in one line, which kept this illustration loose and fun. I didn't pay attention to proportions and embraced whatever errors I made. I did quite a few versions and here's my 2 favorites.

Life Drawing!

Still exploring with different styles and mediums.

Draw draw draw

More life drawing! I decided to add a little photoshop magic to it. I haven't played in photoshop in a while and I really missed it.

Markers, pens and highlighters!

I did a little bit of life drawing last week at Sandy Hill. I played around with makers, pens, high lighters and I even did a pose with liquid paper on cardboard. The last one turned out a bit wonky but it was worth a try.

More to come!!

May

About 6 weeks ago, I started working at Mercury Filmwork as an animator. We're working on some pretty amazing shows and it's been keeping me busy. I haven't stopped drawing and have a few illustration projects on the go. Here's a few things I did in May. They're mostly drawings from pictures to practice, a few are sketches that will be turned into finished illustrations, others are going to be full wall sized graffitis/paintings, there's also some life drawing and a T-Shirt I designed.Cheers.

Thomas part à la chasse aux tondeuses

Here's a few illustrations I did for one of Andrée Poulin' stories published in Mon Mag a Moi. I tried to keep a constant color palette from one illustration to the other - Pink, beige and blue. Let me know what you think!

Jeunes Pilotes

Here's an illustration I did for CFORP, it's for a short story written by Paul Prud'Homme, about a group of teens going in the wilderness of Alaska for their spring break. They only bring the essential; no mp3 players, cellphones or electronic games. I always love a good survivor storie, so it was fun project to work on.

Carcajou

For close to a year now, I've been working on the mini serie Carcajou for Tremplin magazines. The comic bounced between two styles depending on if it was for 4th or 2nd graders. After 20 comics the adventure as come to an end. It was a great project and I'm glad I was part of it.

Here's the last 4 one-pagers for the 2nd graders and a few samples from the last 2 comics for the 4th graders.

Baseball illustration

Here's the latest illustration I created for Mon Mag a Moi. I added the preliminary sketches I did to get to the final idea. The second sketch was my favorite but they wanted to depict the fun and teamwork aspect of baseball and less the competitive side. I'm still very happy with the shot that was chosen, I got to draw a bunch of different characters in dynamic poses.

By the way if you've never seen a baseball pitch in slow motion, youtube it. It looks painful.
