Dr. Sketchy’s
Yesterday’s Dr. Sketchy’s was a great figure drawing session, I definitely hope to go every month. I enjoyed using paint to sketch the figure, it was very interesting how it affected my pencil sketching. These images are in the progression of how I started to my last sketch. I played with proportions some.
A night in the radio studio
Last night the family went to Sean Graham’s to watch his Monday night radio show. Joining him were Professor Fletcher and 20 Grams. The music was rocking and there were many tributes to the man of the day Martin Luther King Jr.
These are the sketches of the night, Matt Girard, Sean Graham, and Jessica McKellar.
a step over
I did this painting using a traveling watercolor kit. That element alone helped me move out of my comfort zone and try something new. I am happy with this, it is a step in the right direction. I think it is a peek through a window of whats coming.
This is for a sketchbook group. We draw based on a weekly headline. This weeks was “Caymans train divers to fight lionfish invasion”.
Loose Sketching
I love people that can draw with sketchy lines. Quentin Blake comes to mind. He is my hero. His illustrations breath.
My work doesn’t even come close to this! However, I had some fun tonight letting go a little. After looking back through Blake’s work, I can see how much further I should push.
Here is a sketch of this photo.What a great catch by the photographer, Ron Niebrugge!
