[Toby Barrett]

Here's something I doodled earlier this morning. Sadly, I don't have a scanner at the moment, though I'm planning on getting a new one soon. So hopefully a photo from my cell with be alright for right now.

Not bad, really. Good perspective.

[Luzmagica]

Nice look! ....I like that facial expression! :tgrin: ... I was wondering how you will draw to his bro Michelangelo.... :tgrin: and Leo and Raph too.... :D :twink:

[oldmanwinters]

I do like the anatomy proportions, clean lines, and expressive face!

[Donnie]

I like it!!!

[Redeemer]

U know what they say practice makes perfect:P great start though

[Ulisses31]

great art like the stile

[Ray Dillon]

Hey, Toby! Really great proportions, style, and expression to the face. This is a fun piece! Hope you keep adding to this thread! I'd love to see more!

[Toby Barrett]

Thank you so much everyone. =)
I probobly won't be posting anything too big until I get that scanner, but I'll certainly post more character sketches when I have the free time to sketch.
I know my cartoonier style isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's something I've always been more comfortable with, but hopefully I can get a good chuckle from you all the same.

I thought tonight, I'd pencil something different.
So here's my first ever attempt at drawing Alopex! I think she's a pretty awesome character, and hope to see her make more appearances in the IDW comic!

[oldmanwinters]

Nice job, Toby! That's the best Alopex fan art I've seen yet!

However... you really need to get yourself a scanner to show off the full awesomeness of your work!

[Donnie]

I love your cartoony style man! Great Alopex.

[Plasticplayhouse]

really nice sketches. love the donnie! if you've got the time, you should sketch a group shot.

[Voltron]

Well, I'm impressed. I hope to see more!

[Redeemer]

Alopex looks pretty awesome to say the least

[Sliced]

Very nice cartoony style! I like it.

I love how expressive your Donnie is. I also vote for a group sketch.

Maybe a bit more lighting could help while you get yourself a scanner.

Nice work! Keep'em coming!

Are the images a little clearer like this ?

[Toby Barrett]

Thank you very much everybody! =) I'm glad my stuff is getting some enjoyment!

Group shot eh?

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n35/barrett_toby/fearlessleaderlittlebrother.jpg
Not done yet, but started this tonight. Don't know how I actually feel about this one, I think Mikey looks pretty weak. I may start on a new one tomorrow instead.

[Redeemer]

Pretty cool to say the least It would be awesome if u got a groups shot!!!

[Sliced]

Faster than a ninja ! I'm only trying some quick photoshop magic here. I'll stop if you don't think its worth it...

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3961/fearlessleaderlittlebro.jpg

[Toby Barrett]

It certainly makes the image a slight bit easier to see! :)

[Sliced]

:D I'm so useful !

Now go get yourself a scanner !

[Toby Barrett]

Just wanted to pop in and say sorry for the lack of anything recently. I've been moved to the third shift at my job until further notice, and the complete upside down turn has made it harder to find time to draw.

I'll try to have something up soon though. D:

[Toby Barrett]

Third shift is totally killing me over here... have a Raphael drawn on a burrito sleeve at 2AM lol

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n35/barrett_toby/ThirdshiftRaphael.png

Was drawn completely in ink, so it's a bit sketchier than the pencil drawings. Not much longer and I'll have my big tax return, and then I can get that new scanner! :D

[Powder]

I like your style man, I'd be curious to see your take on the Nick turtles.

[Redeemer]

Wow the Raph sketch is pretty awesoem and is amazing considering it was done on a burrito wrapper:lol:

[Eiko]

Again very well done. :)

[Ulisses31]

man do some commissions and get a scanner... your art deserves it

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome job on these drawings, Toby. You really are very talented.

[Toby Barrett]

I was asked to draw up a turtle with longer bandana tails, and no pupils, so it seemed easy enough. I left the turtle vague enough so that it can be any turtle you want. Maybe Donatello.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n35/barrett_toby/anyturtle.png

Still waiting for that tax return...

[Andrew NDB]

You got style and nice sense of dimension.

[Toby Barrett]

Thank you so much, Andrew! =)

[Donnie]

Faster than a ninja ! I'm only trying some quick photoshop magic here. I'll stop if you don't think its worth it...

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3961/fearlessleaderlittlebro.jpg

I think the photoshop b&w look compliments these drawings well! Love the stuff Toby!

[Toby Barrett]

More burrito wrapper art from tonight, it's becoming a pretty bad habit lol

http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/9553/splinter.jpg
Not really sure I'm completely happy with how this one turned out. The way the robe devours his legs kinda bugs me, but it's in pen, so there was no turning back!


http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3159/mikeyk.jpg
And a Michelangelo!

[Plasticplayhouse]

dude, those are awesome! i love your burrito turtles!

[Oculus Orbus]

Amazing stuff, it looks perfectly pro.

[Samhain]

I love your cartoony style!

[Jephael]

Awesome pics, dude!

[Luzmagica]

Well done and cool looking....they seems to me very cute :tgrin: !!! I :tlove: your draws!!

Also.... I thanks to Sliced for a better view of previous ones!!! :D ;) :twink: Thanks!!!

[Jester]

Nice stuff. Love your style.

[Toby Barrett]

Thank you so much everyone! I truely appriciate everyone's comments, and would also love any feedback for improvement anyone has! ^^
A tiny, tiny, bit of a shameless plug (http://the-toadman.deviantart.com/) here, but I'd been talked into starting up a deviantart page for a project of mine and a friend. I'll be posted none turtle work on this page if anyone's interested...

As of now, I've been assigned on double shift duty until my store can get some new employees, so art will be slow! I'm so sorry D:

[Toby Barrett]

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6759/fisttoface.png

I'm not entirely happy with how this one turned out, I really don't feel I captured the force of the punch very well, but hopefully you like my first attempt at IDW's style of Foot..? =p

[Plasticplayhouse]

another great pic! that toadman comic looks promising. i love the character sketches, cant wait to see more!

[Toby Barrett]

Oh man, I can't believe I went so long just letting this topic die off. A lot of changes have been going on in my life and especially work. I'm so sorry.. x_X

I know it's pathetic, I don't have much to show for it, but here's a doodle I did in the office last night.. Seems small doodles are all I do nowadays.

[TurtleTitan97]

These look great.

[Zany Orange Dude]

Great job, Toby! Seriously dude, you have no idea of how jealous I am over your awesome style! Hope to see more art work from you in the near future.

[Lethal Lullaby]

:tcool: This is all just still too amazing.

[Toby Barrett]

Not a very good pic, mostly just doodled to test out the new scanner and figure out the settings, see how well it pics up my pencil sketches...

Either my scanner's already dusty or my paper's very dirty. XD

Will take suggestions now if anyone has any. =)

[Jephael]

Awesome Raph pic, Toby! BTW, I PMed you a request.

[cartoonistaaron]

I have a request - scan your earlier stuff so we can see it better! It looks fantastic! Your stuff has a combination of both structure and style. Some of us (me) manage to pull off one but not both.

Nice work!

[zkarlette]

That's a really cool raph pic !:)

[DarkLightDragon]

Very awesome pics, Toby.


Do you think you can do Old Hob?

[Ulisses31]

I love this style, do you plan to color them?

[TurtleTitan97]

That Raph drawing is awesome!

Thank you so much! I'll see what I can do, first I have to find where I put them! lol


Very awesome pics, Toby.


Do you think you can do Old Hob?

I actually have a pic of Hob I drew a while back right here, give me a second.

EDIT: BAM!

http://i47.tinypic.com/2v26vpu.png

[oldmanwinters]

Now that's some real nice Old Hob art!

[TheCanadiandrome]

man Toby that's awesome! love your work

[OrsonZedd]

Oh hey, hadn't seen some of these, especially that Old Hob, which is freakin' amazing.

[Lampy]

wow i love your art style. it's very cartoonish, but that's what's great about it. great Hob pic. that's my favorite so far.

[TurtleTitan97]

That's a great drawing of Old Hob, dude!

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Those are some awesome pics, Toby. I love your style.

I noticed we were finally getting visitors from the Technodrome. I wondered where it was you linked to it.

Oh you know? That guy who did the Donatello Micro-Series? His style is reminiscent of yours.

[Toby Barrett]

Holy crap, I'm so awful!
Here's an ink drawing doodled during mindless paperwork, colored for over a hundred hours on mspaint. I'm so sorry everyone. D:
I'll try to get my crap together soon and get your requests done.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2ev5f9e.png

[cartoonistaaron]

Hey Toby, I needed practice inking on my tablet so I used your Old Hob drawing. Hope you're not angry!

If you drew a kilt on Raph that'd pose would look hysterical:)

[Toby Barrett]

That looks awesome Aaron! =)

Zarius, that is too brilliant...

[Drose18]

The cartoony style u have is amazing! I love it!

Very cool, very toony :D i'm now researching 'Alopex'
I'd like to see a clearer scan of it someday if it's not troublesome!

[zkarlette]

That old hob his really cool!

[Toby Barrett]

I have no idea where the original drawing is anymore, but I have another one..
http://i50.tinypic.com/2nu2d5x.png

These were all drawn in the office during third shift, pretty much where I do all my drawing these days. (Don't tell the boss man. >>)
I'd love to have some time to draw at home without being dead tired, hopefully sometime in the near future.

[Eiko]

Man your good love your work.

[BubblyShell22]

I love that Raph pic that's colored. Your style is awesome. Can't wait to see more.

[TheCanadiandrome]

That Raph is cool dude

[NiNi]

Awesome art style~! I always love checking out other artists' work. :D

[zkarlette]

I really like your style, great work!:)

[Toby Barrett]

Thanks all, I really do appreciate it. :)

[Toby Barrett]

[kzekedaurus]

THAT right there is radical. In fact, that's the first word that immediately comes to mind when I look at your pictures. I hereby bestow upon this thread the the title of "Rad, dude".

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Awesome Slash drawing. I like it.

[DonatelloNinja82]

I love your work! The cartoony feel is great! Keep going! That Slash is perfect and the "BINKY" got a laugh outta me.:lol:

[Nickokapo]

hell yeah Slash ( *U*)

[Powder]

Love how cartoony & expressive your stuff is, kinda reminds me of Ken Mitcheroney in the early days of his Archie run.

[Toby Barrett]

Thank you so much Powder, that means a lot! I've always had a soft spot for Mitcheroney's early works in TMNT Adventures. :)
And thank you everyone else!

For a while I toyed around with the idea of drawing up some pages and presenting them to Bobby to see if maybe I'd be able to maybe do some interior comic work, but I've never gone through with it because honestly, when would I have the time?
And I'm not certain if my cartoony style would mesh well with the story haha

[Toby Barrett]

Looking through some old sketchbooks today, I found something hilariously bad.
Who wants to see a drawing from 2006? Xp

http://i45.tinypic.com/34dkfeo.png

I havn't touched pencil to paper in nearly five months.. I really need to find some time to sketch some of the rust off.

[joefsas]

^^^ awsome!!!

[Jay $tarkiller]

dude, those are awesome! i love your burrito turtles!

Ain't nuttin like a burrito turtle:tgrin:

Wow, totally awesome..love that style! If you had some spare time, I'd love to commission a piece by you! Great stuff, dude! Keep it coming!

[Tortuglio]

http://i48.tinypic.com/2jfhrva.png
Woooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww :o
I have to agree with the rest, your style is pretty cool, is very cartoony (nothing wrong about it, but not accustomed to it) and you know how to give the characters a lot of emotions/gestures.
Great work! And that 2006 drawing is real nice too (although a bit weird in style, but very "digable" too :lol: )

[BubblyShell22]

I like that 2006 drawing. It's very good. Don't be so down on yourself. You're very talented.
