Remember

For all the men and women who fought for this country, for our freedoms and for our shared ideals.  Thank you.

Hmmm...

This one has me confused.  I really liked it as I was doing it and I was paying closed attention to proportion and and all, yet the finish i...

Line of reasoning

Very happy with this one.  Sure, it won't hang on any walls but the freedom and expression of the linework really struck me.  My favorit...

Sketchy little scratchings

I felt pretty good last night. Sara does such a good job and it really pays to have a familiarity with the model. As the week progresses I...

Last of the session

I was pretty happy with this one as well. Good way to end the night, with two decent pieces under my belt. Then it was off to Jake's. ...

At last...

one that I am happy with. I really like the gestural nature of the pose, the combination of line and shading along with the focus on the ar...

Looking over his shoulder

The full figure drawing is a fifteen minute pose.  Both of these are done in conté crayon and neither one is particularly well done.  I got ...

Cast Shadow

I enjoyed rendering this particular piece. The mass on mass effect on the lighting made it interesting to draw, I'm not sure it's a...

Arms race

Which, apparently, I lost.  A couple more minutes & I probably would have made the transition into the chest a little bit and brought th...

chunk o' charcoal

Just using a large piece of vine charcoal to get large sweeps of tone.  A little tougher to work on the face this way but I persevered anyho...

Finally!

Back to live drawing. A bit rusty, as you'll be able to tell. But it sure felt good to get back to it. Now to finish the four miniatu...

The many faces of Solo

Hopefully the last of the old stuff for awhile. Back to drawing tonight.

Family Skywalker

From Galaxy 4.

The many faces of Indy

Characters of the Jones saga

More Topps. I like the simple lines and the "sketch" aspect of these cards.

Not in a good mood

Hence, I post a card of one of my least liked characters in all of the series, if not moviedom itself.  Probably why I didn't do such a ...

Topps o' the mornin'

I've probably used that one before and it wasn't clever then either.  Eh, my blog...

Sticking with the old stuff

Had some other obligations and missed last night with the Black Hand Group. So I have another week with old scribblings to post.

Secondary characters

Some Topps cards using the folk that populate the stories in a relatively minor way.

Good bye, Frank Frazetta

Still sad about Frank. I didn't realize just how much influence he had on me. I'm also very disappointed in how little his passi...

In memory of Frank Frazetta

Frank Frazetta passed yesterday at the age of 82. What he left behind is a legacy that probably can never be fully understood. I can onl...

Recline

Last drawing from the session last week. New drawings (hopefully) Friday. I'll fill the space with older stuff in the meantime.

Happy Mother's Day...

to any moms who may pop in.  As a son myself I am grateful for all of the sacrifices my mom made and wish I could truly say I know how hard ...

Not quite sure

of how I feel about this one.  I spent way too much time on the hand and I don't think that I had gotten the dimensions right.  Still, t...

A bit of a departure

Strictly linear. I really like this one and kind of surprised myself with how easily this came together. A good warm up to the pin up proj...

A Bum Drawing

I crack myself up. Thankfully there aren't that many who drop in so I don't have to hear about my sense of humor (or lack thereof)....

I ask myself "Why put up drawings that make you cringe?". This is one of those drawings. I started with the arm and then went on...

Cold shoulder

I really struggled with this one. It should have been very easy but it just turned out to be a bit of a mess. I believe the next one was a...

Shadow of the Cat

Heh. A nod to my comic book upbringing. I like this one. Simple and standard but the shadow makes it a bit more interesting than usual.

A little rough

This had potential but I didn't think it through from the start.  Not unusual for the first drawing of the night.  I really liked the ca...

A second "gesture" of good will

Tomorrow I'll post a "finished" drawing.
