Figure sketches

Some recent drawings from some model sessions here in Seattle... unfortunately my scans sucked (mostly the 3rd image), and I seem to like to draw clubs for feet ;)

Fun Faces

Some fun face sketches from photo reference. Yes, that's BB King on the left. I am going to see him in Boulder this coming April and am stoked! Been playing a couple of simple BB licks on the guitar - over and over - I'm sure my wife wants to punch me...

Old Man

Here's today's doodle.  I started out wanting to make his mouth creepy, although I didn't really follow through, so it ended up about halfway there.  3 hours start to finish, no reference again because i'm lazy.

Frankenstein!

Here's ol' frankie.  I was thematically inspired by the ones that Jim and Samson posted, although mine went a different route.  Maybe next time I'll try something a little more exaggerated and stylized.  Somewhere around 7 or 8 hours.

Painting A Night...Water Color

Ah speedpainting.... The goal is to do one of these a night. To be truthful some cheating has been going down, so as opposed to one hour per painting, it's been 2 or 3 over several nights. I tend to work on 3 or 4 at the same time so I don't get bored focusing on the same image. I'm working from picture on my computer monitor I took with my digital camera at various locations, except the one of Art Blakey, that's from a cd cover. Or, I'll do a color version of a sketchbook drawing. The important thing is to at the very least smear stuff around on paper while half dozing off at 10pm...
