quick update

My scanner's been kinda picky lately (probably my fault) so I haven't been able to scan any recent sketches. Here is a small collection of gestures: half imagined, half from observation (the bottom 4 being imagined). Nothing too exciting but enjoyable nonetheless. A great learning site I came across recently is http://theartcenter.blogspot.com/ , which is a collection of artists contributing personal tutorials and such. Really helpful things, was thinking of this tutorial by Brian Wong in particular. Also check out http://www.radfordsechrist.blogspot.com/ , his stuff has been hugely inspiring to me as of late.

work sketches n such

Here's some sketches of recent, mostly done while I'm on break at work. Love/hate relationship with them (as I'm sure most people have with their work), parts I like and parts I know could be better. Excuse the random quotes on there (ie boom kaka boom), was listening to A Tribe Called Quest while sketching.

 


And the next one is a quick self portrait and some more sketches on newsprint. Love working on newsprint because I think subconsciously I know I don't have to make it look that great since the paper isn't of the best quality (no slight to newsprint of course). Also my nose is a bit flat in that sp and it doesn't really look like me.

Enjoying doodling in Painter again, haven't done it for a while. So one more, kinda sorta related to the day (just added a heart really).











Kinda cheated with that hand (just roughed out the shape then scaled it down), but fun practice anyway.

have a good one

Likely some perspective/clarity issues, but pretty happy with it overall.

Haven't really been at my computer a whole lot lately, wanted to post these up a few days ago but wasn't ever really able to. Better late than never eh?

Sorry for the image size on this first one, didn't realize until just now how large it really is.
