some recent sketchbook pages

David Colman's Doodles Volume II...is here....well almost...

David Colman’s Doodles Volume 2 is here!! Volume 1 was a big hit and is sold out(not to be confused w/my Art of Animal Character Design Book), but Volume 2 is even bigger, in full color and a hardcover. Over 100 pages of my animal sketches, character designs, paintings and even production work from my time at Sony, Cartoon Network and many other studios. This book is now available for pre-order. All pre-orders made through the davidsdoodles.com store will receive a signed copy of the book with a personal sketch from the artist. Order it today to get this one time offer…… Once February hits the personal sketch offer is off the table.
All preorders will ship 2nd week of February but your patience will be rewarded…I am very proud of the quality of this book and kept my price @ only $20 so many more can enjoy it….. and @over 100 pages it is definitely worth it for all my dedicated fans.

The above postings are sample pages from the book, along w/the cover.


PLUS, my new site has launched…containing tons of new work and I am very proud of it… It now has a professional look and I want to know what you all think…..plus, my shirt line is now available on the site, previously only available @ conventions.

New piece

Here is a pastel I did during the holiday break. Nice to do something for me; first time in a long while besides just some quick sketches here and there. I hope to do more...pastel work is so "freeing" and "cathartic" for me.....

Steve Huston, destined to be a master

Happy 2009 to you all.....I hope everyone is doing well and off to a good start. I had the pleasure of visiting the Yarger Strauss Gallery in Beverly Hills to see the exhibit of Steve Huston's work titled "Construct" Not only is the exhibit incredible....the paintings monumental, but he also has his sketchbook on display(and chained down) demonstrating his pure genius. As an artist myself, its always great to see the sketchbooks of those I admire, it shows the thought process and approaches, so valuable to those of us who want to learn more about the artist. The sketchbook(available for purchase for 65,000) is filled w/studies for his paintings but also tons of miscellaneous studies and sketches. I think I photographed almost the whole book...The above are just a few pics from that visit, but my pics do his work no justice....check it out yourself...only on until 1/11/09!
