Mat's Sketchbook

Mostly a blog of my own sketches, usually focusing on characters of the anthropomorphic variety. Occasionally I may post finished art, but the primary focus of this blog is chronicling myself learning anatomy.

Master Splinter from the 1987 TMNT cartoon :)

Hiya, tumblr, long time no see! I wanted to post these recent Summer arts I made of Rocksteady and Bebop I drew as a personal project :)

I'm mostly active these days at the following places:

What kinds of video games would each Star Fox character prefer?

Fox; Anything with multiplayer, especially party and racing games. He likes games the whole team can play, and ones he can outsmart them in.

Falco; The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree; he prefers flight simulator and racing games.

Slippy; Puzzle Games, especially Tetris and Puyo Puyo.

Krystal; Point and Click Adventure games.

Peppy; Looks up from his book momentarily, then looks back down.

He has an important meeting with General Pepper tomorrow, and he needs to get his beauty sleep. Problem is he’s a bit preoccupied with activity on Solar.

Krystal demands in her stiff upper lip British accent that Fox give her his pants. It works and he grudgingly shucks them off before going to brush his teeth..

Ah, thank you for the color job! It came out cute :D

A more complicated pose practice using Fox McCloud; I think I still have a lot to learn yet concerning clothing folds and the like!

[matsutzu]

More practice sketches from the last weeks of Crash Bandicoot characters; Pinstripe (two versions, as the remakes leave off the light coloring of his face) and Nash!

Crunch Bandicoot!

It may seem strange, but practicing characters with exaggerated proportions is helping me to improve at anatomy. It’s different for everyone, but for me, focusing on individual anatomies really helps me to be more versatile as an artist.

Sleet and Dingo from Sonic Underground! It was such a blast from the past to draw this, lol

Happy National Underwear Day!

I missed this since times have busy lately, but thanks XD Since I usually draw underwear or bathing suits to practice anatomy, I guess we’ve been celebrating it enough, lol

[matsutzu]

Another day, another Falco Lombardi warm up sketch!

[matsutzu]

For one reason or another, I missed Bowser Day this year. Better late than never!

[matsutzu]

I often get the urge to draw Bakemono no Ko fanart!

[matsutzu]

Singe from Dragon’s Lair!

Happy Odaiba Day!

I honestly it would be cute to tone down Leon to his Command self so audiences would want him to find love...

Admittedly, I think giving Leon a hidden softer side is one of the few  things Command did right, lol. But given that Leon stays by Wolf’s side even after Pigma and Andrew leaves (or are thrown out) of Star Wolf, I’d say that he’s probably very loyal.

Leon Powalski!

I wonder who he’s texting...

(Spoiler; the name is on the phone XD)
