Oldies But Goodies

I’ve been going through the Andrea Tomingas archives lately. Dug these two drawings up from the vertical files:

This one is a drawing of my friend’s awesome dog. I did this in around 2006 I think ? — I have to tell the archivist to keep better track. I did the drawing first in pencil on paper from a photograph, then I went over it in ink. The red and brown of the eyes were added in Photoshop.

This is another one done from a photograph. I did it in ink on paper, then colored and added texture in Photoshop. I took the photograph at the Nike Site in Los Angeles, which is a pretty and interesting place to hike to in LA.

I did the original circles and lines drawing with ink on paper. I added the texture and color in Photoshop. The type is from the awesome family, Novecento, a few weights of which are free on myfonts.

MOOOONSTERS!

Gabe & I have been listening to the amazing Mike & Tom Eat Snacks every week. It’s a great podcast to doodle along to. I did some monster doodles while we were listening a couple weeks ago. Here are some things I made from those doodles:

As always, I tried to keep the colors neutral, the graphics soft and restrained, and the overall tone as refined as possible.

Drawings done with ink on paper. Color and texture added in Photoshop. Some additional graphics and patterns made in Illustrator.
