January 31st, 2006 :: “Why?”
Just a sketch today.
January 30th, 2006 :: “The Robots Leave”
You’ve gotten to see a lot of one robot of mine over the last few days, so I thought I’d treat you to someone else’s fabulous robots today. This is from Adam Rex. He has a lot of amazing illustration work on his site. You really need to check out http://www.adamrex.com to see more. You may even find another robot or two!
January 29th, 2006 :: “Coal Bot”
To finish up, I added a few more details like sweat and some fire highlights on the coal and robot. I also decided to mimic the shape of the fire below the robot, in the massive expanse of coal. I think it adds a little more focus to the center of the piece. That’s it. I had fun painting this, and I hope you’ve had fun watching me. For those of you curious about the technical details, this is acrylic on a (roughly) 9.5″ by 21″ found wood panel.

January 28th, 2006 :: “Coal Bot - Day 3″
OK, the arms are done and I added the shovels. Then it’s on to the coals. Thousands and thousands of coals. Finished product tomorrow!

After the coal, I blocked in the robot’s body and then added some details.

January 26th, 2006 :: “Coal Bot - Day 1″
The next few posts are all going to be from this painting, so I hope you like it. It’s based on an idea that’s been bouncing around my head for a while and I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.
After sketching my idea onto a gessoed piece of found wood, I put in a simple fiery background and start blocking in the coal at the bottom.

January 25th, 2006 :: “Knitted Robot”
I’ve been sweating over a big robot painting I’ve been working on the last few days now, but this here robot beats anything I could give you today. It’s from Jessica Hutchison and yes it’s knitted. I wish I owned this robot, and the chair it’s sitting on, and probably even that skull/Elvis thing on the mantle. Anyways, Jessica has made a whole bunch of wonderful knitted toys. Please check her site out :: Jess Hutch Crafts
January 24th, 2006 :: “IF - Cats”
This week’s theme for Illustration Friday is “Cats”. This was a little difficult for me as I don’t think I’ve tried to draw a cat for years, so I kept it sorta sketchy.
For those of you coming to Robot-A-Day from Illustration Friday, welcome. Make sure to check out more posts here before you leave, please. Then keep coming back every day. Thanks.
