more heads, 68-70

Memory Sketch

Todays doodle is a memory sketch. I work for an auto auction and on auction day i drive the cars. This lets me see some of the best characters. This guy was wearing a hawaiian shirt and when he talked made some of the best facial expressions. the first is from lunch today the second when I got home because I felt I could do better. I still think this could be better but to stick with my goal of a sketch a day, it will have to do.

Gorilla, Heads, WIP

Here's today's sketch of a gorilla typing. I'm having fun with coming up with an idea during work and then sketching it out at lunch. Theirs alot that I don't like about this one. First it feels rushed, the head and face are all wrong but there is also alot I like about it. I'm taking an idea and executing it, instead of worry if it will be perfect or not. My speed is improving, and I noticed I'm laying down lined with more confidence. The second is number 65, 66, and 67 of 100 heads and the third is a wip I'm working on. For some reason photoshop is acting up with the opacity setting for the text tool. Once I get that sorted out I'll have this one finished. All critique's welcome.

Giraffe

Here's today's sketch, I feel I'm getting better at getting an idea and the putting it down on paper. At first I wanted to take this into photoshop and color it but time would not allow it and my goal for this week is to post a drawing each day from lunch, so here it is.

Toddler

Did this one yesterday, theres something off about his right hand (your left when looking at it)and I don't like how his left hand came out (your right hand) but it is a sketch from start to finish using my understanding of anatomy and remembering how my son looks while sitting in his highchair. Also the goal for this was to draw the stick-figure and then use basic shapes build on top to make the character. I feel that if I keep with this one I can make it better. I however just plan on drawing more and with practice, I'll get better at it, so enjoy!

Character Design

I've noticed I'm getting better at the construction of drawing, but when time comes to add the details things start to fall short. Can't wait till I can take Stephen Silvers Imaginism class. Till then I'll just keep drawing.

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

sketches of Collin

Spent a day last week in the backyard with my son and while he played I drew quick sketches of him. He really is a joy to be around, everything is so new to him and he finds joy in the simplest things.
