Busy Day Today, but I managed to squeeze in this Concept Character Drawing and Painting of an African Warrior ~ created with my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone, using an S Pen in Autodesk SketchBook Pro ~ totally loving this phone and the S Pen ~ I highly recommend it.
I painting this environment using my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone with an S Pen, and Sketchbook Pro. I continue to be amazed at how responsive the S Pen is on this phone, it even supports palm cancelling while in Pen mode, which makes it really fun to work with. It supports multiple layers as well.
Below is the Phone I am using.
Drawing ~ Anti Poaching Unit Sketch, Elephant Defense ~ in a world where poachers are increasingly better armed than rangers, a better equipped Ranger force is desperately needed.
Super Excited ~ Early look at the newly released Alpha Version of Octane 3.0 and the much anticipated Volumetric Fog ~ I am Demonstrating it using the City Environment from my Children’s animated TV series, The Adventures of Nkoza and Nankya ~ http://www.nkozaandnankya.com

Volumetric rendering: OctaneRender 3 supports the ability to render particulate matter such as clouds, smoke, fog, and fire with varying densities and introduces a unique native primitive type for incredibly detailed micro-surface displacement volumes and surfaces required to render photorealistic natural and organic materials. Dreamworks’ OpenVDB is also supported for direct in-camera rendering of particle simulations.
Jazz Painting Completed ~ Ushering in thanks giving with Thanks Giving ~ I am grateful to Peter Kigonya for the opportunity to create some beautiful art for his awesome living space. I delivered this 4 feet by 16 feet (4) Panel Jazz painting in time for thanksgiving. I thank God for his Blessing and for the gift of art ~ I definitely do not take it for granted.
Peter in his own words:
“The mood the art work sets to the house is priceless… worth every penny… definitely added to our thanksgiving. I also noticed some subtle attentions to detail that only a few fellow artists can appreciate… sources of light, shadow sources etc… And with a room full of people the pieces take on a new life – like the walls are actually playing music and entertaining the guests. Good job man.”
Drawing ~ Rhino Beetle ~ “when your dream comes face to face with seemingly insurmountable odds..” ~ I drew this while waiting for my little ones to finish their Home school Piano lesson
I am a big fan of the Planet of the Apes franchise. This sketch was inspired by the main character, “Caesar.” I tried to capture the struggles in his demeanor and the challenges that come with leading a group.
Spent some time drawing this concept of an African super hero ~ a comic hero of sorts. I dream of day we will have even more super heroes coming out of Africa.
I have completed this New Chimpanzee Painting ~ Title: “Ray of Hope” ~ Dimensions: 40 Inches by 30 Inches (40″ x 30″) ~ A donation to the Primate Education Network ~ 100% of the Proceeds from the painting will benefit PEN’s training for conservation educators, park rangers, and park wardens in Uganda in 2016
Finished Painting
Below are the Painting Steps
Beetle Drawing ~ This is another sketch from my my wildlife studies, using pencil on Tan Sketch Paper. I am loving the results from switching to Tan Sketch Paper.
