pages from the sketchbook

some sketches i do from time to time... i guess its true... drawing with traditional media does make u feel more like an artist..

lately ive been focusing on my photoshop painting techniques.. so i havent done any design sketches in a long time..

so here i experimented with a brush pen technique... except doing it all digitally. it ended up looking kinda ashley wood-ish.. not sure if its suited for product... i used to piss off norm with this kinda stuff... -_-;;
