Cheif Blackhawk

Here in Illinois theres a statue called chief blackhawk, dedicated to the suak and fox Indian tribes. Over the weekend we took a riverboat cruise down the rock river. The statue is way up top on the riverbank, surrounded by trees. That's the one part I feel this sketch lacks and that's a sense that it's high up.

55 and 56

Here's two more to add to the soon to be 100 heads. I am really happy with the top character. So much so I threw some paint on him in photoshop. Nothing spectacular just made some layers and painted over the sketch. The bottom one started with promise but fell short, I know the solution to this and that's more time drawing with a perpose, ie I want to create a evil scienctist and then draw alot of different ideas.

Secondly is to let my pencil wander over pages and create shapes i normally would'nt think of. With some work I know I can make the bottom sketch better and the top one more appealing.

Art museum

Over Memorial Day Weekend I took the family to the Art Museum of Chicago to see the Bill Peet exhibit, while there I did some sketching too.
