Wistful Snarf.

Many Sketches. Part of a backlog. No editing here, just all the digital stuff I do for no other reason other than practice and experimentation.  Many things are from referenced images which I have not included unfortunately.   Can you insert links into a jpg?

Post of many heads.

Some older stuff. Its amazing how long I can stretch this out. Just random odds and ends. My dad is in there and one of his friends. A number of random deviant models. Just trying to get sketching bodies down a little better.












After that is a few more heads. Some are old and some are new. Almost all of them are either from my head or referenced off models from deviant art. Id link to them, but it would take a really long time.













Lining these pictures up is really hard in the blogger editor. Maybe I should learn html. I like the fellow in the suite. Oozing malevelance.






Also I lost my sketchbook! A horrible thing. To compound that I had my tablet stylus with it for some reason. Time to start putting the pieces back together.

Do zombies dump?

A friend of mine asked for a drawing of a zombie for a tattoo. Heres a dump of some of the roughs.













And then a more finished version that was rejected by the client.

Guillotine Gallery part 2. Welcome ladies.

More heads. These are the first of the ladies. I tend to draw more women than men. More of a challenge, and more gratifying results.
These look like they are mostly older sketches. Its hard to tell though. I mean, look at all these heads!
This particular Guillotine Gallery seems to have the optimum mix of left looking and right looking heads. New achievement earned!
Also note to self, don't mention things like "tomorrow" or specific dates when talking about future posts.

Getting a head

Here's my first guillotine gallery. A bunch of heads that I've drawn lately. These all happen to be guys and include a picture of myself. The Do-er.
This is semi-random, but I still seem to have a bias towards people looking right. Not bad really, as long as I get practice for both directions.
More heads tomorrow!

Mega dump: The prequel.

The upside of me not posting very much, is that when I finally do, I have tons to post. Ill do one or two a day while I'm getting them all cropped and pasted together.
I take all the drawings and sketches I've done since the last post (which looks like it was about two months ago, not the girl with the eggplant but the stuff before that, the framed stuff) and pick out all the pages with the best looking stuff, maybe like half the portable sketchbook stuff ( I love my little customized 9x11 sketchbook, but it just feels so cramped. I feel like a lot of the work I do in it is a little sub par and when I'm doing plein aire sketching it gets even worse. Too bad that's the stuff everyone looks at, "ooh, can I see your sketchbook?")
Then I scanned all the pages and copy pasta'd the stuff I like into categories like 'faces' or 'poses' which are then mashed together into a kinda collage of sketchy.
And boom, you get something like this.




















Click. It gets bigger.

So that's the first finished one. Random stuff from the t-shirt project mark 4, and the Zombie Tat project. More as its finished.

Some dumpers.

Ive been really busy lately so I've only been able to sketch in inconsistent fits and starts. My confidence has gone down a bit so I've been mostly using pencils lately and I don't have time to ink the stuff I do anyway.




















I have managed to get a few things. These three are collected with my travel sketchbook.

Dump

Its been awhile. Heres a few things I did recently. Nothing very amazing

That seems to be as big as blogger will let me post a picture. Thats a shame.

A dumb

More stuff. Stefano Demerra from 'Days of Our Lives', some sort of leggy biwhale. The bear and the helmeted man are from this crazy book jacket I found.

The boom box just came to me. Not sure who the girl is.

A dump that burns

A few odds and ends Ive been working on lately. Everything with a © I copied from somewhere.


The finished airplane picture. It still feels a little bland and cartoon-y to me.

The standing girl and the old man with the hair bun are from photo refs but I didnt figure it was important to have the source.



























I went to the art library and copied a few classics, re:the Schiele and Hokusai. The large man near the fish is Hurley from lost. My girlfriends current obsession.

























Nude man threatened by claw.

















A fair number of photo refs on this page.











































The robot is an unfinished project ala the airplane at the beginning of the post.
The girl in profile is my girlfriend.
