An ink and watercolor commission for a client's baby room.  11"x14" on Arches.  Absolutely nothing digital was used to make this baby.  Old school-!  Lots of sketching and roughs and color studies, plus a good deal of thrashing about.

Here are some sketches:

And some early watercolor studies that were maybe 30% on the right track:

ALSO:

Would you like an awesome, one-of-a-kind watercolor on your wall?  Yes, yes, of course-!  A magical picture plane to make enemies fester and comrades puff up with pride.  I'm actually up for a wide range of commissions (big, medium, small, pairs, triptychs, animation) and remain an outgoing delight in correspondence:)  Cost and turnaround times will vary with each project, so please contact me today at todd.miyashiro(at)gmail.com and we'll turn your watercolor-y vision into a lively centerpiece.

Sketch Sketch Sketch

A friend pointed out that I've been neglecting this blog, and it's true.  For quite a while now, my online output has been limited to commission work and large scale projects.  But a finished piece represents only like 5% of the total work.

So!  I'm going to share the other 95% with you.  

I've spent the last year and a half shedding like crazy, filling sketchbooks with ideas, studies, doodles, and scribblings; look forward to seeing copious amounts of this stuff, plus smaller side projects and shelved/retired/forgotten bits as well.  

As always, thanks for following and enjoy:)

Jungle Running

A commissioned piece for a client's fantasy fiction story about a long-haired jungle boy and his saber-toothed best friend.  Plenty of fun, and I look forward to doing more large-scaled watercolors.

Field Work, 2006-12

 

 

 

In preparation for my class, I've been going through old sketchbooks.  Lots of bizarre 'where was this?' moments, but I uncovered a book of colored ink contour drawings I did in 2006.  The rest are from 2010 on, and all unpublished except for the two ladies on the subway and the woman in the green top and jeans.
