2011-09-08T15:21:00.000-07:00

My friend Hilary pointed out how long it's been since I updated so here we go.

2011-05-12T11:29:00.000-07:00

More photoshop stuff. Trying to keep drawing and also keep posting it so my blog doesn't become a ghost town again.

A few more

2011-05-02T14:12:00.001-07:00

Here are two more new photoshop pieces, really enjoying myself with these.

been a while

2011-04-26T11:45:00.000-07:00

It's been a while, partly because I don't have a scanner and partly because I was being lazy. But I've started doing some more stuff in photoshop lately so I decided to use that to get myself back into using my blog

finally

2010-08-20T19:18:00.000-07:00

Here are some sketches i did recently and decided to mess with in photoshop. im liking this process and am planning on experimenting with it in the future

New Sketches

2009-12-04T15:58:00.001-08:00

Been looking through old reference of mine and doing some ink drawings

MMA portraits

2009-08-19T14:12:00.000-07:00

I'm doing some portraits of MMA fighters, So far I've got Dan "Hendo" Henderson and Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. I lost the cable for my scanner so I just took some nice photos of the pieces

scanning

2009-08-06T11:16:00.001-07:00

I'm scanning a bunch of stuff but I figured I'd post 2 things I already have scanned at the moment. Not my best work, but it shows I'm still alive

progress

2009-04-29T16:22:00.001-07:00

here is the sketch for my illustration so far feedback is very welcome. fee

Finally a new post

2009-04-22T16:56:00.000-07:00

So its been forever since my last post, sorry about that.

I now have a website though, www.joshburchart.com so thats a good thing right?
I'm also working on a new illustration (self generated) about the captain that was held hostage by the somalian pirates
thats the sketch im at right now, any and all feedback would be much appreciated. I had a bunch of sketchbook pages to upload so instead of putting them here i put them in the sketchbook page of my website, take a look and give me feedback on the site/sketches I would really love it. Hope everyone is doing well, take care.

sketchbook

2009-01-30T14:10:00.000-08:00

Figured it was about time to upload some more sketchbook work, man I love working in my sketchbook. I'm making some changes that my brother said the people want on the poster so ill prob post that as well as a version with the changes suggested by you all later.

Poster

2009-01-24T19:15:00.000-08:00

So here's how the poster turned out. I haven't heard how they liked it yet but my brother will let me know when he finds out. I need to get my rear in gear and crank out some promos and stuff now, also sketchbook stuff.

New Sketches

2009-01-03T17:14:00.001-08:00

Here are some new scans from my sketchbook. I'm also working on a poster for Angels in America at the moment so I'll prob have process from that up here. Also, blogger is being weird and for some reason rotated my images all around, ill see what I can do to fix it.

Horray for the internet

2008-12-29T14:25:00.000-08:00

I'm scanning some work and should be updating soon...ish so thought I'd update with a link to a blog I found recently that I'm really digging http://goldenagecomicbookstories.blogspot.com/

Painter

2008-12-19T13:04:00.000-08:00

Been messing around with painter some. Did a quick sketch of an engineer from TF2 and a quick mock up of an illustration idea, the project I gave myself was an article about soldiers losing limbs.

Christmas card

2008-12-11T20:12:00.000-08:00

so my parents are having me do the christmas card, so I brainstormed what I wanted to do and decided to illustrate "not a creature was stirring" and just as I decided on this I noticed my dog sleeping on the bed next to me so I got out my sketchbook and drew him. I scanned the page and added text and voila, instant christmas card.
this is the scan before I used the magic of photoshop to turn it into a card. I'm also working on putting together a book that I might be selling at the gym I teach martial arts at

sketchbook stuff

2008-11-10T15:00:00.000-08:00

So I decided it was about time I scanned in some sketchbook stuff and other loose drawings and put them up here.

Drawing of my buddy Dus tin

Done?

2008-11-06T14:16:00.001-08:00

So I took out the speech bubble part because a lot of people told me they weren't feeling it. I also made the shapes that the text is on transparent so it has some texture and doesn't look so out of place. Also got rid of the crazy saturated green in the background

poster with text

2008-11-04T13:05:00.001-08:00

So here's where I'm at with the text on the poster now

progress on the bats

2008-10-20T16:03:00.000-07:00

So here is where I'm at with my aquabats illustration ATM
Any and all critique is appreciated

aquabat piece

2008-10-06T13:14:00.000-07:00

So I'm working on an Aquabats piece. I'm trying to get work with them and wanted a more recent piece to show them. Here is a quick mockup of what im thinking at the moment.

updates, horray

2008-08-06T10:52:00.001-07:00

so here is a scan of my pink piece after the changes, and a few things I've done since i've been home.

Acad

2008-07-24T16:32:00.001-07:00

Well I'm back from the illustration academy and ready to revamp my portfolio and make this dream of being an illustrator a reality. Ill post a few scans of some of my work from the academy, for some reason the scan I have of my portrait of Pink is from an earlier stage, I'll have to rescan it and post the final version later.

Portfolio

2008-04-13T13:35:00.001-07:00

So this is pretty much the portfolio I'm using right now, or at least the pieces I'm picking and choosing from for wherever I submit. Anyone think I've done something that should be included but isnt?

thesis teaser

2008-04-12T19:35:00.000-07:00

okay

2008-03-10T23:09:00.001-07:00

well i made a decision and added some more detail

2008-03-10T19:04:00.001-07:00

Don't you love when you get to some small decision when making a piece and can't seem to move past it because for the life of you, you cant make a decision and go with it? me too. So to deal with it I decided to post it here, only problem is its due soon so i guess this is more for me than anything. anywho, here 's my artblock

oh blogger

2008-02-24T16:45:00.000-08:00

Horray, i can upload to blogger from my room again, here's a bunch of stuff. Ill upload some thesis stuff next update.

stuff

2007-11-13T13:12:00.000-08:00

Here are a few things I've been trying to upload but blogspot is being mean to me

My illustration for the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Music of Erich Zann"

Stuff

2007-10-09T13:26:00.000-07:00

So ya, I need to start updating this regularly. Anyway, I forgot to scan the pencil drawing that I posted in progress in the last post, so I'll do that later. Here's the finals from that project (not happy with watercolor :( )
Right now I'm working on a piece on the UFC. Heres a few examples of what I've got going on so far

I'm still trying to figure out a crop for that last one

drawing for next illustration

2007-09-16T14:05:00.000-07:00

I decided to do a quick scan (not the best quality because I just used the one in my room) of my drawing I'm working on for Illustration.

After the Drawing is done I'm going to use it as reference for a Burt Silverman style watercolor

Illest

2007-09-08T17:23:00.001-07:00

2007-07-22T16:11:00.000-07:00

I haven't been doing anywhere CLOSE to enough work this summer, but here is something I threw together the other day when I got inspired all of the sudden. The colored version was done in less than a minute but I'm uploading it anyway because I kinda like it

oh summer, what are we going to do with you

2007-07-07T10:27:00.000-07:00

I've been pretty lazy so far this summer, but here are a few pictures of some stuff I'm working on right now

2007-05-30T21:25:00.000-07:00

these last three are pretty similar, but i'm still struggling with deciding which one is the best for my business card

2007-03-24T15:17:00.000-07:00

these are the digital files of the pages of my tang soo do book, and my most recent computer illustration.

comp ill

2007-03-10T13:51:00.000-08:00

here is my most current comuter illustration at the moment. I'm still working on it of course, but felt like sharing how it looks so far.

comic stuff

2007-03-08T23:31:00.000-08:00

here is my third page and my revised second page. I changed the colors because they were really saturated compared to the first page I did. I like the colors alot better now, but what does everyone else think?

oh, and I am now working on adding text (hence the text on the revised second page). That is by no means final and I would be happy to get any suggestions that might help me with the text.

comic page 2

2007-03-03T12:55:00.000-08:00

I still need to put the text in the bottom right of this page but otherwise its pretty much done

horray

2007-02-25T13:06:00.000-08:00

These pictures are of my comic and a few warmups done before working on the comic

huzzah

2007-02-13T19:15:00.000-08:00

After much freaking out I decided to try messing around with photoshop for my comic, and now I think I have figured out how I want to do it.

Thanks to senor volker for showing me how he was going about those interesting b/w sketches in photoshop

Surgery

2007-02-10T15:35:00.000-08:00
