Totoro

by Francis Vallejo | July 11th, 2008
 

Hey folks. I’ve been all over the place lately. But I hope to make a post in the near future with my newer work. But along with Mike I also did a piece for the Totoro Project. It’s ink, gouache, and zip-a-tone paper. I remember when I was young going to the Detroit laundromats and zoning out while my mom cleaned the clothes. This is pretty close to the sort of things I imagined. Keep rockin!

take care,

francis

Mt. Rushmore WIP

by Francis Vallejo | February 13th, 2008
 

Hey fellow Gorilla Artfarians…..(does that work?)

I though I’d put up a work in progress photo of a painting I’m working on. Still alot to do but it’s on its way! My favorite part is the pile of paint clothes in the corner..haha.

I’ll be sure to post the final and it will alll make sense.

cheers!

sketches

by Francis Vallejo | February 9th, 2008
 

So this is a quick update with some sketch action I’ve been working on.  The top image is from figure drawing, the middle one is an oil sketch/study for an illustration I’m finally starting tomorrow, and the last one is a crop of a sketch I’m doing for a comic cover.

I’ve definitely been digging the pencil lately. I haven’t used graphite this much in years..haha. It’s amazing how much painting can help your drawing.

take care,
