Pen gestures and sketches

Been a little again since I've updated, gotta get the ball rolling again. I generally don't scan in gestures (can be rather unintelligible) and I'm generally pretty bad at scanning in sketchbook things but, I was pleasantly satisfied with this batch from last night/today so I figured it was worth a scan.

The first couple were a mix of random sketches as well as referenced drawings, and the last two are primarily 30 and 60 second gestures.

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.

To get things started...

Hello everyone, how're things? I don't have a whole lot of things to show at the moment (at least from any larger work that I'm doing right now) but I figure that sketches are a good way to start off.  I'm hoping this will be a way to benchmark my progress within my work(as well as encourage me to keep doing things). Also I'm open to any and all feedback on my work; happy just to meet people too! 

These sketches are from semi recently (Monday  the 30th I think)  and they are of my friends in the animation department lounging around in the couch area outside of the lab. The first is more of a warm up page, though none of them are particularly good. Fun practice though; hopefully doing this m0re often will help with my line quality and confidence.
