Seventh Inning Sketch

So I guess I haven't posted in a little while...

2011-11-17T11:09:00.000-08:00

I realized today that I've neglected to post anything here in quite some time (over a month), so I figured I'd do a quick sketchbook dump from my moleskine that I carry around everywhere. Nothing too fancy, but it's something.

As always, thanks for taking the time to look, and let me know what you think if you're so inclined...

Skulls!

2011-10-10T19:40:00.001-07:00

Yep, I drew some Red Skull-ish skulls. Let me know what you think...

Back to basics

2011-09-29T14:35:00.001-07:00

Every once in a while, whether it is for lack of inspiration OR because I feel like I'm getting sloppy OR simply to study some great designs, I like to go back and try my hand at copying some established character designs that you'll all recognize. No, it's not original work, but it always helps me in my own drawing to study how these great characters are constructed and get a feel for how their lines flow. Here are a few I've done the past couple days.

Sketchbook page

2011-09-25T21:21:00.001-07:00

Here's a page out of my sketchbook from today. Let me know what you think...

Girl

2011-09-18T22:33:00.000-07:00

Hey look, I drew a girl! And she even kind of looks attractive unlike most girls I draw (or maybe she just looks more attractive because she's not wearing any clothes). Haha! Just a quick sketch that was inspired by some sketches on Chris Battle's Tumblr. I spent most of my weekend working on coloring and playing around with some other drawings in Photoshop, so I took the sketch of the girl into PS and threw some color onto it really fast before heading to bed for the night. Let me know what you think...

Shootout!

2011-09-14T19:18:00.000-07:00

Ended up coloring some of the cowboys I've been drawing recently. Let me know what you think...

Goblin

2011-09-12T20:38:00.001-07:00

I wanted to test out the new Blogger iPhone app, so here's a sketch from last night... Let me know what you think.

Recent Sketches

2011-09-08T22:29:00.001-07:00

Here are some recent sketches... A couple from post-its at work and a couple quick ones from the sketchbook.

Cowboys

2011-08-25T19:39:00.000-07:00

A few cowboy doodles done at my desk at work with a dying Sharpie. Let me know what you think...

New sketches

2011-08-23T13:05:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple sketches from the past couple days...

Sketchbook dump

2011-08-15T14:50:00.001-07:00

I've been trying to keep a sketchbook more readily available no matter where I am again lately. Here are a few recent pages. A few different styles going on here, including some stuff that I was just messing around with to try out (and a questionable Batman & Joker... try not to hold those against me). Let me know what you think!

More tech call doodles

2011-08-10T09:46:00.000-07:00

A few more quick doodles done while answering tech calls...

An assortment of sketches

2011-08-02T15:12:00.000-07:00

Here are a few recent sketches, some done while on support calls, some done at home. No clue what that first one is supposed to be... A dude with weird tendrils growing from his scalp? Who knows what I was going for. Let me know what you think!

Work doodle page

2011-07-25T20:43:00.000-07:00

Yep, this is what happens to blank sheets of paper at work while I'm on calls.

More sketches

2011-07-19T08:52:00.000-07:00

Still haven't had a ton of time to sit and focus... Here are a couple more recent sketches to share in the meantime.

Another dose of scribbles

2011-07-14T15:30:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more scribbles... Either done while answering tech calls or one night when I woke up in the middle of the night because of my back.

Samurai?

2011-07-10T18:48:00.000-07:00

Here's one of my sketches from today... Not exactly sure what I was going for initially, but it turned into some sort of samurai-type dude. Let me know what you think...

More tech desk sketches

2011-07-06T16:30:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when you spend all day fielding tech support calls... Another selection of sketches. Still making my way through the fluorescent pink post-it pad, as you can see. Let me know what you think!

Sketches from the Tech Desk

2011-06-27T12:06:00.000-07:00

I've stated on here before how much I love to doodle on whatever paper is handy while on calls at work... This, of course, means that I go through lots of post-its and also have scribbles in the margins of whatever other paper is handy. Because I haven't had much proper drawing time lately, I present to you several of my recent post-it/scrap-paper doodles. Let me know what you think!

As a small aside, you may have noticed that 2 of the doodles sort of resemble Dream... I finally got off my ass and read all of the Sandman books. So amazingly good. Don't know how I've gone so long without reading them.

Monkeys

2011-06-12T19:02:00.000-07:00

Been far too long again since my last post, but here are some monkeys I drew recently. Let me know what you think!

Long time, no post

2011-05-31T12:44:00.000-07:00

It has been entirely too long since I last posted something here, but I've been way too busy with work lately to even have much time to sit down and focus on drawing. I'm hoping to get back at it now though... Here's a quick post-it scribble from last week.

Moleskine pages and more

2011-04-12T08:59:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple pages from my current Moleskine sketchbook, followed by another post-it (yes, I turned part of a phone number into quite the abomination of a scalp tattoo) and a page from another sketchbook. All of these were done with my Pentel brush pen. Let me know what you think!

Drawing on Coasters in Bars

2011-04-11T06:41:00.000-07:00

I've found a new favorite medium for drawing - coasters in bars... Started drawing on the backside of a couple of coasters when I was out Friday night and realized how freeing it was. I have no desire to take them home with me (unlike post-its even, which I tend to keep on my desk long after their time has expired), so therefore I really don't care much about the results of what I experiment with on the coaster. Sadly, I discovered this seven beers in on Friday night, so I left the bar thinking that all of the drawings were complete garbage (which they were). Sunday night, however, I actually felt pretty good with some of the results... Below are a selection of coaster drawings (all using brush pen) from Sunday night. Let me know what you think!

Some scribbles...

2011-04-10T16:00:00.000-07:00

I've been posting on here far too infrequently, however I feel like overall my drawing has been a bit uninspired lately. That being said, the above are a few doodles done in the past couple days... One page from the sketchbook and a couple sketches from post-its. Let me know what you think.

Too long since my last post...

2011-03-26T21:32:00.000-07:00

Wow, I'm just realizing that it has been a month since I last posted anything... I've still been a little busy with settling into the new job and just haven't had much free time to sit down and put in time with my sketchbook. I DO have something cool that I hope to be able to share soon, but it all depends on other people at this point. In the meantime, here are a couple drawings I was playing with today... Let me know what you think!

Yes, I actually wrote "Penjamin" next to the weird ballpoint pen character (cheesy, I know).

Below is a quick sketch I did with red col-erase pencil, pen and brush pen after seeing Sucker Punch last night. The visuals in that movie were pretty awesome, and I loved all of the dream/battle/musical/whatever sequences.

More scribbles

2011-02-20T17:07:00.000-08:00

A couple more doodles from over the weekend. Let me know what you think...

New doodles

2011-02-18T20:29:00.001-08:00

Still been pretty busy with the new job lately, but here are a couple doodles from the sketchbook from this week. Let me know what you think!

Scribble scribble scribble

2011-02-11T08:01:00.000-08:00

Still haven't had a lot of time to draw lately, but here are a couple rough quick scribbles done recently...

Sebastian inked and colored

2011-02-07T21:16:00.000-08:00

Well, I sat down tonight after work and worked on Sebastian again. This gave me a good chance to put my Art-o-graph LightPad to use. Here is Sebastian inked...

Sadly, I feel like the inked version lost some of the energy of the rough sketch. It just seems a little lifeless to me but not sure why. Despite those feelings, I still decided to color it using my Copic markers, which I don't get a chance to whip out nearly enough. It seems to me the color helped to liven the drawing back up a little bit, but it still just seems too stiff and lifeless. Oh well, better luck next time. Let me know what you think...

Sebastian rough

2011-02-06T13:55:00.001-08:00

I watched The Little Mermaid this morning and decided to whip up this rough Sebastian before having to get ready for my friend's Super Bowl party. Hopefully I'll get a chance to finish it up later...

Busy lately

2011-02-01T21:21:00.000-08:00

I've been really busy the past couple weeks with starting a new job and having to drive for a good 3-3.5 hrs per day (going to and from Irvine) for that job. Luckily that drive is only temporary... Eventually I'll be settling into an office in Burbank, which is a MUCH shorter commute.

Anyway, I decided to throw up a recent page of random sketches from the sketchbook since I haven't had all that much time to draw... Let me know what you think!

More monkey business

2011-01-18T14:30:00.000-08:00

A few more rough monkeys and other assorted things from the sketchbook...

Monkey Business

2011-01-16T17:18:00.000-08:00

Here are some monkey sketches I've been playing around with in the past couple days, partially inspired by this awesome set of hand-carved wooden monkeys I was given earlier this week. Let me know what you think!

Simpsons studies

2011-01-10T23:09:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple pages of Simpsons character and hand studies that I did after getting ahold of a copy of the awesome "The Simpsons Handbook" book.

Randomness from the sketchbook

2011-01-03T15:54:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple random pages from my sketchbook. Sometimes I wonder how I decide to draw what I draw... Let me know what you think!

Happy New Year!

2011-01-01T20:01:00.000-08:00

I want to wish everyone out there a prosperous and happy new year! Thanks to all of you who stop by from time to time to check out the blog... I appreciate all the kind words and support from everyone.

Silhouettes

2010-12-29T21:01:00.000-08:00

I've been playing around with head shapes and structures in the past few days by drawing only silhouettes. Here are a couple pages out of the ol' moleskin of a few of those attempts to create interesting shapes. Let me know what you think!

Revisiting Looney Tunes

2010-12-27T13:40:00.000-08:00

I got one of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD sets for Christmas, so I've been watching a lot of those shorts over the past few days... It has been years and years since seeing many of these, and it's amazing how awesome they still are. Here's a sketch of one of the Mexican mice in a Speedy Gonzales short.

Random sketches

2010-12-23T17:20:00.000-08:00

Just a few random sketches from my sketchbook...

Pen/Marker doodles

2010-12-21T11:27:00.000-08:00

Just a couple doodles from last night... I've playing around with my small set of Copic markers lately.

My friends are buying a house!

2010-12-19T10:19:00.000-08:00

A couple of my good friends (a good couple friend? good friends who also happen to be a couple?) of mine are buying a house, and I was so excited for them that I drew their new house for them! Started out as just a black & white sketch in my sketchbook using the narrow end of a Tombow. Once I got done sketching it, I decided I had to color it too... Here are both the original sketch and then the colored version. I can't say that building are generally a strong suit for me, but I think this turned out decent enough. Enjoy!

Minions!

2010-12-17T14:12:00.000-08:00

I recently rewatched Despicable Me, since it is now out on bluray and ended up spending the whole movie doodling the minions in my sketchbook.

Quick scribble of a Viking

2010-12-13T22:55:00.000-08:00

Just a quick doodle from today of a Viking fellow. Let me know what you think!

In the shadows

2010-12-12T22:30:00.000-08:00

I was playing around sketching with pen & brush pen tonight for a bit, and here is the result. Let me know what you think!

Random stuff...

2010-12-11T22:12:00.000-08:00

I've been doing lots of drawing lately, but most of it is of the "work on things to try to improve my skills" sort of stuff not the "wow, this is something I really want to show people" variety. But since I haven't done much of the "can't wait to show you" stuff, I figured I'd do a post with a few random things that I've been doing over the past week. Maybe it's boring, maybe it is all crap, but at least I feel like I'm making some growth in my skill set by doing some of this stuff.

First up, I have pages and pages of figure drawing stuff that I've been playing around with the last few days thanks to this simple but extremely cool gesture drawing tool website that allows you to set up parameters like length of time per drawing, sex of model, clothed/not clothed and then it automatically changes the photo after the time limit you set. They also have a similar website for drawing animals. Below are 3 pages of drawings from this week, each drawing done in 5 minutes...

I always try to carry a sketchbook with me when I go out... Usually it's just a small moleskin that I'm able to tuck into my back pocket, but anytime I have a couple minutes to kill, I will whip it out and sketch people I see out and about. Here are a couple of those drawings...

Lastly, I spent my afternoon at Disneyland today, and of course I made a couple trips through the Animation Academy at California Adventure, where they taught Grumpy and Pluto. I've said it before, but it's always impressive that they're able to, in a period of about 15 minutes, teach an entire room ranging from small children to grandparents how to draw a Disney character. Here are my attempts from today...

Elf!

2010-12-09T16:16:00.000-08:00

Just getting into the holiday spirit a bit... Let me know what you think!

More Monkeys...

2010-12-07T19:15:00.000-08:00

...and a giraffe. Let me know what you think!

Mostly Monkeys

2010-12-06T19:01:00.000-08:00

Here's a recent page from my sketchbook. Playing around with some designs for a monkey (along with a few other random drawings). Let me know what you think!

More ink sketches

2010-12-01T10:52:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple more ink sketches done yesterday using old photos from the 40s as reference. Let me know what you think!

Ink sketches

2010-11-30T12:15:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple ink sketches I did while watching TV last night. I found a great website with tons of beautiful color photos from the late '30s and early '40s that I've been using as reference for some sketches. Let me know what you think!

Sleepy Santa

2010-11-23T22:40:00.002-08:00

Well, this little thing started out as an ink sketch in front of the TV that I then decided to throw some color onto. Nothing spectacular but kind of fun.

Some rough sketches

2010-11-23T09:16:00.000-08:00

I'm posting a couple rough sketches today... The first is a variety of ideas for hairstyles that I was playing around with. Nothing too exciting.

Next up is a rough sketch that I'm hoping to finish in the next day or two of the boy & the bunny in the midst of some sort of adventure/danger.

Let me know what you think!

More brush pen

2010-11-20T00:21:00.000-08:00

Had a lot of fun at CTN Expo in Burbank today. Seeing so many people that pumped on drawing in one place gets a person pretty excited. I'm looking forward to heading back over there tomorrow. Here are a few brush pen sketches done after getting home tonight. (Sorry for the poor quality of the photos... Hard to capture pages from the moleskin effectively.) Let me know what you think!

Lions!

2010-11-13T07:50:00.000-08:00

As you can see, I've moved on from monkeys to lions... Let me know what you think!

Going bananas

2010-11-12T13:51:00.000-08:00

Last page of the sketchbook! I'm spending some time today doing quick sketches of animals, starting with monkeys. Let me know what you think!

More studies and a quick sketch

2010-11-11T18:22:00.000-08:00

I spent more time doing studies yesterday and today, so I decided to share a couple pages of those. It's always fun to practice drawing Disney characters, and I had never attempted Uncle Scrooge or Pete before. I also did a quick sketch of a girl trying to pick her sunglasses up at the beach. Let me know what you think!

Mickey character study

2010-11-09T21:59:00.000-08:00

Another day being stuck in a drawing rut, so I figured I would make the most of it and spend some time doing character studies. First up is Mickey Mouse from "The Little Whirlwind" (1941).

Poor guy

2010-11-08T22:46:00.000-08:00

Not sure what prompted this thing... I've been having a bit of a tough time drawing the past couple days, but tonight this poor guy squirted out of my brain. Let me know what you think.

A boy & his bunny... Now in color!

2010-11-07T19:30:00.000-08:00

Finally got around to throwing some color on the drawing from a few days back of the boy and his bunny. Nice to see them in color for the first time. Let me know what you think!

Boy & bunny work in progress

2010-11-05T09:11:00.000-07:00

Here's a rough sketch I started yesterday... Planning to clean this up and color it today. Let me know what you think!

Sketch dump from an emotional week

2010-11-03T14:27:00.000-07:00

I'm just getting around to posting a bunch of stuff from the past few days, as the last week or so has been a little emotionally draining. Friday was my last day of work at the company where I've worked for the past 6+ years. On top of that, the greatest grandma a guy could ever ask for died last Wednesday, which meant I took a quick trip back home to Iowa over the weekend for the funeral.

First up, here's a sketch I did of my grandma (actually my great grandma, but I always just thought of her as grandma) the night that she died... Does it look like her? Meh, sort of but not really. But what can I really expect from a drawing done shortly after finding out while also talking on the phone with my mom as I was drawing? Whether or not it looks much like her or not, this drawing is always going to have special meaning to me because of when I drew it.

Below are more sketches done to practice with brush pens. All of the sketches below were done with the Pentel pocket brush pen that was recommended to me last week. It definitely has a different feel than the Tombow and Prismacolor brush pens I had been using, but I'm definitely liking it.

And finally, the drawings below were done last night while watching television. Decided to put the brush pens down for awhile and pick up the pencil again, which I haven't used since going on my brush pen kick the last couple weeks.

Let me know what you think...

Happy Halloween!

2010-10-30T23:08:00.001-07:00

Brush pen sketches

2010-10-28T23:06:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple brush pen sketches, one done at work on a post-it, the other while watching TV at home. Let me know what you think!

Sketch of Death

2010-10-26T21:52:00.000-07:00

Just a quick sketch of Death tonight using markers...

Brush pen fever!

2010-10-25T18:13:00.000-07:00

Another page of brush pen practice. I was on quite the roll this weekend. Let me know what you think!

More brush pen practice

2010-10-24T09:52:00.000-07:00

I've been on a roll with the brush pen sketches the past day or so, to varying degrees of success. Here's a small selection of drawings from yesterday. Let me know what you think (or any tips you might have on working with a brush pen)!

Brush pen practice

2010-10-23T11:36:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to practice drawing with a brush pen to better get the hang of it. I love the look you can get out of brush pens in theory, but figuring out how to actually achieve that look is taking some experimentation. I spent last night catching up on Tivo and was playing around with brush pens the entire time. Let me know what you think!

Anyone have any suggestions for their favorite brand of brush pen? I have one made by Prismacolor and also a Tombow but would be curious to hear what others use as their weapon of choice...

Work Pumpkin

2010-10-18T15:42:00.000-07:00

I was asked to create a pumpkin for the front desk at work. It's kind of funny that this may be the last creative endeavor I put together at this job, since I'm leaving at the end of the month. Not sure what I think of how it turned out. I feel like the original sketch on paper is more menacing. When I translated to the pumpkin, I tried stretching it out to cover more of the surface of the pumpkin, but now when I look at the pumpkin, it just reminds me of The Count from Sesame Street. Oh well, it was still fun to do. Let me know what you think!

Silly Little Frankie

2010-10-14T19:21:00.001-07:00

Here's a goofy sketch I did last night while catching up on some Tivo.

Busy week

2010-10-11T14:40:00.000-07:00

It was a really busy week last week, including the decision to leave the company I've been at for the past 6+ years. Of course, that just meant less time than usual to draw. Here are a couple sketches I finally had time for last night. Let me know what you think!

Thank god for pencil and paper...

2010-09-30T22:11:00.000-07:00

It's been a REALLY long week due to a bunch of stress at work stemming from server upgrades that were done last weekend. All I can say is thank god for pencil and paper... It has been my shelter this week, somewhere to go to relax at the end of the day. Below are a few of my doodles from throughout the week. Let me know what you think...

Busy with work

2010-09-27T14:48:00.000-07:00

Work has been pretty busy the past few days with server upgrades and software updates, so I haven't had much drawing time lately. Luckily, I was still able to do a little drawing, just not as much as I would have liked.

First up is another drawing of Launchpad... Did this one late last week and never got around to posting it. Drawing the Darkwing Duck characters never gets old!

Drew these between server upgrades and software updates over the weekend... A couple attempts at creating my own Bruce Timm-style characters.

Let me know what you think!

More DW character studies

2010-09-23T13:56:00.001-07:00

Had a day off yesterday and had hoped to spend some time doing some character studies but ended up at Disneyland for the afternoon. Here are a couple that I did of Launchpad and DW before heading off to the Magic Kingdom.

Doodles from Tuesday night

2010-09-22T09:18:00.000-07:00

A couple sketches from last night. Let me know what you think!

Doodles from Last Night

2010-09-21T13:07:00.000-07:00

Here are a few sketches done last night while watching the fall TV season kickoff. Let me know what you think!

Post-It Dump

2010-09-18T12:32:00.000-07:00

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted any of the random post-it scribbles I have stuck all over my desk at work, so I figured I'd post a few...

Nobody puts bunny in the corner

2010-09-17T16:24:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple more sketches of the boy and his bunny... Let me know what you think!

A boy and his bunny

2010-09-15T11:59:00.001-07:00

Here's a quick sketch I did last night for an idea I've been kicking around. Let me know what you think!

Gosalyn with a background

2010-09-14T11:51:00.001-07:00

This week's class was focused on placing a character in an environment, so here's what I was working on. A good class topic, since I'm very bad about actually adding any sort of background on my drawings normally...

Post #100 - Wonder Woman!

2010-09-08T16:51:00.000-07:00

Wow, I've made it to post #100... I can't say that I ever expected to get to this point. When I started this blog, it was meant as a way to motivate me to draw, and motivate me it has. Now drawing and posting has become part of my regular routine, and I feel I'm always striving to improve and learn (and having some success in that goal). Looking back at some of the early posts, I feel like I've come a long way since those first drawings that were shared with the world. Big thanks to everyone who has come to the page or offered me encouragement to continue.

Time to talk about Wonder Woman... I started drawing this one day at work while playing around with a brush pen. I have been messing around with the brush pen a lot more lately, since I wasn't particularly comfortable with it. Can't say there was any specific motivation behind drawing WW... I just started drawing and Wonder Woman is what came out. So here's Wonder Woman!

Let me know what you think!

Random sketches

2010-09-07T22:56:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple sketches from the past week... I was in Chicago for an extended Labor Day weekend and didn't have nearly as much time to draw over the weekend as I would have liked, but I was able to do a little bit.

Let me know what you think!

Saturn Girl!

I am a huge fan of Bruce Timm (as I'm sure you may have gathered). I am also a huge fan of the Legion of Superheroes. So for fun last night, while sitting in a hotel in Chicago, I decided to do a quick sketch of Saturn Girl of Legion of Superheroes Bruce Timm-style. Hair style is obviously based on the new Levitz series. Costume is a simplification of her current costume. Let me know what you think!

Love that Gosalyn!

If you haven't figured it out yet, I've found a new favorite character to draw. I'm having a lot of fun with drawing Gosalyn from Darkwing Duck, especially when it comes to coming up with different poses for her. The first one (in red pencil) was done Friday night, and the others (in blue) were done today in class, where we were working on putting a character into our own poses.

And for a little variety, here's a post-it done quickly on Friday at work...

Let me know what you think!

Post #96

2010-08-26T14:45:00.000-07:00

Crazy to think that I'm closing in on post #100. Hope to have something cool done for that post, but no promises.

In the meantime, here's a post-it I doodled at work yesterday (and then colored at home last night). I've been playing around with brush pens more lately and am starting to enjoy using them. Feeling a little less tentative and almost like I have some degree of control over what it is doing.

And here are a couple more Darkwing Duck drawings, one of Launchpad and the other another Gosalyn. Did both of these last night. Darkwing Duck characters are so much fun to draw!

Gosalyn

2010-08-25T15:58:00.000-07:00

Here's another Darkwing Duck drawing, this time of Gosalyn Waddlemeyer. Did this last night while watching an episode. I really had forgotten just how funny that show could be at times.

Practice practice practice...

2010-08-23T14:28:00.000-07:00

Some more drawings done as practice for the class I'm taking that I did over the weekend.

More hands and Darkseid

2010-08-21T19:55:00.000-07:00

Spent more time practicing hands this week. Also decided to draw Darkseid from Superman the animated series.

Some post-its and DW!

2010-08-19T09:28:00.001-07:00

Couple quick drawings to post this morning... First up, here are a couple drawings on post-its I've done the past few days at work. Just random heads that I've doodled while waiting for either renders or exports to finish.

Darkwing Duck came up in conversation with someone recently (can't really remember why), but I decided to rewatch a couple episodes, considering I hadn't seen the show since I was a kid. While watching, I decided to pause the episode and try to draw DW...

More hands and Bugs

2010-08-18T10:00:00.001-07:00

First up are more hands that I drew last night from the huge packet of hands we were given in class this week... I'm finding hands to be a little challenging, but I think I'm making progress. Going to keep drawing them until I get them figured out.

Next up, a good friend of mine asked me last week if I would draw a couple Looney Tunes characters for him... Finally had a chance to sit down and give it a shot last night (though I only had time for one), so below is my first attempt at drawing Bugs Bunny. I was fairly happy with how the body turned out but the head could definitely use some work...

Hands

2010-08-15T21:33:00.000-07:00

Today's class was focused on hands. We got a huge handout full of hands, so I'll be spending the next week or two of my life doing lots of copying of hands in various positions and poses. After drawing a bunch of hands today, I can say they are very frustrating. Hopefully by drawing a bunch of them this week I'll get more comfortable with them. Below are a bunch of various hands I drew today, both during class and after I got home.

Harley and a Post-It

2010-08-14T21:10:00.001-07:00

Couple drawings to share today... First up is another Bruce Timm-style drawing of Harley I did to get in some more practice for class.

Next up is a quick post-it sketch I did while at work yesterday... Drawing so much Bruce Timm-style stuff this week has definitely been rubbing off, as you can see in this sketch.

Batgirl!

2010-08-13T14:05:00.000-07:00

Here's a Batgirl I drew as another exercise for class.

More practice with Timm

2010-08-12T14:21:00.000-07:00

As you can see, I've been on a Bruce Timm kick lately. I figure if I'm going to draw to practice what I've learned in the class I'm taking, what better way than by doing so in a style that I absolutely love? It also doesn't hurt that I recently got a copy of the fantastic book "Batman Animated" that features tons and tons of art from the Timm-helmed series. So here are a couple drawings from last night.

More Bruce Timm style drawings

2010-08-11T09:38:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple more Bruce Timm-style drawings done as homework for my drawing class.

Homework, Bruce Timm style!

2010-08-09T16:30:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple drawings done after this week's class to get some more practice in, using some Bruce Timm stuff from Batman the Animated Series.

Drawings from class

2010-08-08T17:16:00.000-07:00

This week's class brought legs into the fold. Here are a couple drawings I did in class to work on legs (and also continue practicing the rest of the body).

Saturday sketches

2010-08-07T19:46:00.000-07:00

Here are some sketches done today. Let me know what you think!

Working on women

2010-08-05T14:19:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple new original sketches of women, one done at

home and another done on a post-it at work. Definitely feel like I'm

beginning to make at least a little progress on drawing females. Let

me know what you think!

Wonder Woman!

2010-08-04T10:21:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple more drawings I did as an exercise for the class I'm taking, again using preexisting art to break down the construction of the character in order to be able to draw them.

More homework for class

2010-08-02T20:49:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple more sketches I did as "homework" for the class I'm taking.
