This is part of sketches for a project I’m working on that is being bounced around by the clients and I. We’ll come to a final rough drawing along the way for me to build on for the final illustration. I’ll likely post pieces of that project as it comes along in the next week. I’ll be penciling and inking on paper and coloring using Photoshop.

Here’s another peak at my annual Christmas card as i continue to work on it. Native Florida critters always dominate the illustration along with a Florida historic site. Here’s the Bald Eagle that can be found statewide. I should have the card finished tomorrow. Hope to start distributing cards Thursday and this weekend in southwest Florida.

November 21st, 2013 โ #Dailyinks #20 โ Shopping Cartoons!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.21, 2013, under Cartooning, Illusration
These are a few inked drawings that are last minute replacements for a set of buildings for a map I’m working on. I just couldn’t get the buildings to work and these figures probably better showcase the wares of the businesses involved.
#Dailyinks #15 โ Werewolf at Large! Caricatures from Today’s Event ….
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.16, 2013, under Caricatures, Cartooning
Performed at a community event today at Jones High School in Orlando and above is one of the drawings I did. Had fun drawing the werewolf. CAn’t even recall the last time I drew a werewolf.
Below are more drawings I did.
Janice collects elephants and loes to cook and furnish food at family reunions. The elephant’s ear was an artistic tactical issue.

November 7th, 2013 โ #Dailyinks #6 โ Deer, Drawing the Moving Target!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.07, 2013, under Illusration, Sketchbook
Was at Ocali Days today helping man the Marion County Museum of History booth. The event continues through Sunday at Silver Springs State Park.
After the event I hit the swamp hiking trail in the park and made my way to the connecting Silver River. I made a video, which I will feature separately. As I finished the video Scott Mitchell, Silver River Museum Director, was coming up with a group to take a boat ride on the Silver River to the head springs of the river.
After teh boat ride we all jumped in a trailer to be taken back to the main park. It was late, we traveled slow and discovered deer along the way. i decided to put ink pen to paper and whipped out these nearly contour drawings of various deer we saw. Drawing while the vehicle and the deer were in motion was a challenge!!!
