Inktober 2018 Week 1
Been having a great time participating in this year's Inktober challenge. It's my first time, so I thought of keeping things simple and just sticking to a Halloween theme. I'm also using the daily prompts from the official Inktober website. This image was for Day 3: Roasted and is one of my favorites so far. You can see all of my Inktober illustrations at scottdubar.com.
Tips And Tricks: How To Complete A 365 Drawing Challenge
Doing a daily drawing challenge is one of the best, and easiest, ways to improve yourself as an artist. I've seen illustrators make remarkable improvements in just the first two weeks. If you are thinking of taking on a 365 Drawing Challenge, (or are just now learning about it and intrigued) I can highly recommend it.
The main things you will need:
- Enough drawing supplies (most sketchbooks don't have 365 pages).
- Plan out ideas for your daily drawings ahead of time such as:
- Writing down lists of word prompts
- Collecting inspiring reference images
- Listing various mediums or styles you'd like to experiment with
If you'd like to read more about how I approached and completed my own 365 Drawing Challenge, check out my blog post: 5 Tips For Completing A 365 Drawing Challenge
The Power of the Pink Cookie | Ascent Magazine
Got inspired to go for a retro video game theme for this one. The article is about an avid skier who “powers up” by eating Granny B’s Original Pink Cookies, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of Super Mario. This is my first attempt at creating pixel art, and I was surprised at how easy and fun it turned out to be.
Happy Halloween
Tikin' Awesome! | Mike's HARDER
Snake
Here’s a little something I did initially for the 21 Day Drawing Challenge by Von Glitschka (Day 6: Get Cubistic). I really liked how the drawing came out and thought it would be another great opportunity for me to play around with the Megapack set of Photoshop brushes from the awesome Kyle T. Webster.

Local news station NBC29 covers my Mike's Harder win
I recently had the honor of winning one of the Design the Can contests by Mike's HARDER for their new, limited edition drink Tiger's Blood. Having my work appear in stores across the country was already cool enough (along with the prize money!), but just yesterday Charlottesville's NBC29 came out to my studio and did a really nice segment on my win. You can check out the clip in the link below:

Desert Mountain Biking, Hallucinations, and Sushi
Here's my latest work for Utah Adventure Journal. It's always fun to illustrate something that references hallucinating since it's basically a licence to take things a bit farther than I would otherwise. Below is a work in progress shot with my awesome Huion LED lightpad.
Tee Time and Tailgating: New work for Integrity Golf Magazine
Here's an illustration I did recently for a newly-launched magazine, Integrity Golf. The article is about how football and golf pair up nicely among sports fans, and the art director wanted to see some fans tailgating on a golf course. I figured naturally they would choose to tailgate out of the back of their golf cart. You can see more of my work at www.scottdubar.com.
Cartoons for Common Ground Magazine
The first one I did is a variation on an idea I had for a Grumpy Cat meme playing off Ekhart Tolle's The Power of Now. The second one, like most good humor, is actually based on a true event.

Love and Hate
For my latest Gardeners' World illustration I was asked to depict our illogical preference for one animal over the next. A flock of doves is a beautiful thing, but a woodpigeon, a grey squirrel or rabbit are often considered pests and not enjoyed to the same degree. Perhaps it is what they do that is the problem rather than what they look like?
Cover art for C-ville Weekly
Happy New Year! 2013 is off to an auspicious start for me already with my first cover for C-ville hitting the stands today. It's my first cover for anything available locally like this, and it's really cool to drive around town and see my artwork everywhere! This is a slight departure from my usual work, but the art director wanted to avoid using any gun imagery after the recent shootings in New Haven. When we met, he had already worked out the idea of a cave painting and showing the women from the article with bows and arrows.
