Sketching Game Characters

Though writing about video games is what I'd like to focus on in terms of having a career, I also have a passion for art. I usually do portraits (like this one, or this), but over the past five months or so I've been posting quick sketches on my Twitter account. I've gotten some pretty positive feedback on all of them, too. The kind words and constant use of a pencil have also gotten me out of a funk I was in for a while where I hadn't drawn anything for far too long.

Anyway, a Bitmob editor emailed me and said I should grab some of them and put them in a Bitmob post, so please enjoy staring at my passable sketching skills, ha ha.

These are awesome, Cody. I love seeing the community try things besides writing. Thanks for sharing!

Great stuff. I especially like the Mario and Scribblenauts ones. Keep up the drawing, Cody!

You're the reason I gave up on drawing!  Your "quick sketches" would take me hours to make.  But they're seriously great; I especially love the Yoshi one.  And needless to say, your portraits are stunning.

You have some awesome skills Cody! Don't give up on them completely! Maybe you can use your talent in the future. I want to see more of these!

I've been out of the drawing habit for a while and only recently picked it up again. Last time I drew Link, he turned out looking like a woman! LOL Yours is much better. ;)

Awesome art Cody! I personally am always wanting to do stuff in a visual medium but I can't draw at all. (i'm a very big fan of comics, web and otherwise and want to do stuff with that format.)


Seeing your mad skillz makes me immediately want to ask you if you'd like to work with me on something. Feel free to say no though. Me asking people with art talent to work with me on something is so common it's like I have some kind of form of collaberation tourette's .
