Sketchbook Heads

The sketchbook exercise is all consuming. A page a day is all I ask. These guys could be part of the British Royal family.

Sketchbook Dog Daze

My sketchbook is filling up. My postings have slowed down. The dogs are fun to do. A couple of pages have dogs smoking. They really shouldn't be able to afford smoking.

Clownz

I am looking for the new Crusty the clown. I ran out of ideas after a while. There has to be some styles of clowns that I have missed. Oh, yeah, the bankers. Clowns in suits. Its been going on for too long.

OpeningDay @ Fenway

Winless in six games and the home opener at Fenway is at 2pm today vs the Yankees. The Sox are on everyones mind. Maybe the turkey will lay an egg that looks like a baseball. Only 156 borefests left.

3 29

I liked this page. And that's all it takes.

CoffeeTime Sketch

Another day, another page. Guys today. These are not people I see, they are just creations. But the guys head at the bottom is the only real person. And I only started with it. His beret did not inflate.

PowerCouple

I love pencil sketching. I want to try a fountain pen and see how that works for my style. I read the mad ramblings of fountain pen users that love the flex of this tip and this ink. I just want to try one. The right one I guess. I will have to pay more attention to the pros.

Tuesdaysketchday

A page a day. That's all I ask. It's a good work out and I think the work shows. I like the basketball team on the bottom. It is March Madness after all.

The Morning Caffeine Sketch

The St Paddy's Day scribble. I have been into these very skinny people for a few weeks.

AquaCulture

Another sketch today. The fishing industry is a changing. I think I will change this to have the fisherman reading a book that he is holding in his right hand. I'll try this in Illustrator.

UrbanFarming

Free Range Chicken Farming in your backyard. Alot of work for a few good eggs. I only have a Free Range cat

SpringTraining

I am on a torrid pace with my new sketchbook. Spring training is in the news and I have some ideas as to what really goes on down there in Florida. Players practice everything. Putting on uniforms, taking off uniforms. Media relations, pubic relations - I mean public relations or relations with the public. Major league stuff.

Sunday session

A lazy Sunday start. Fill up on coffee and fill a page. I think I will try to convert the runners up on the top to illustrator. My second favorite thing to do.

The Daily Facebook

One of the many days that I have been drawing faces. Men, women, serious, cartoony. No one you know. But that one guy does look like the edge of U2. I wasn't trying.

Sketchbook Ballet Dancers

I have been drawing for a good half hour each day and it is a great exercise. I think I will post more of the pages. This was from a photo in the NYTimes/The Arts/2 17 2011. Andrea Mohin photo of ballet dancers. Great Photo. The Thursday Times is the best. Arts section, Style section. Long may it live! I am usually alot more cartoony but not that day. I like to sketch people at the local SBucks. They are rarely portraits of that person. I catch one part of a face that interests me and then I make the rest work. Quick studies. I do learn alot.
