My “to do” list today is extra long, so I thought I would break out another sketch-to-finish example. This started as a sketch in my sketchbook, and for once I actually sort of like how it came out, so I decided to do a finished, color version on one of my many, many Star Wars blank sketch cover (Still plenty available if anyone is interested in commissioning a piece!).
In honor of President’s Day, of course I had to do a li’l sketch of Uncle Theodore!!!
…So, to correct yesterday’s misplacement, I made a photocopy of the original drawing, since I liked how what actually fit on the page had come out. Then I erased the drawing and transferred the copy back on, using the ol’ “shade the crap out of the back of the copy with a pencil” trick, in a better position. I then drew in her missing leg, and inked this puppy up! It’s now listed on eBay, for anyone who’s interested… http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
For today’s Sketch of the Day, I thought I would post a “what not to do.” In this case, it’s not actually figure out what you want to do before you start drawing. I had an idea for Harley doing a ballerina-type something or other and started by doodling her head in, then doodle in her arms and a li’l torso, then… No room for her legs. When this happens, you have two options: 1) Curse, then quit and open a Dairy Queen in hopes you can drowned your sorrows in soft serve, or 2) Curse, then start over.
Since I do not have the start-up capital to open a Dairy Queen I am stuck with the second option… The finish of which I will post tomorrow!
A little under the weather the last few days so dug out this sketch to post for today’s Sketch of the Day…
How about a quick Supergirl between projects?!?!
It’s Jill from Wipeout, as my sister would say…
From our “mini-moon,” a quick sketch of Bernie Sanders done while watching coverage of the Iowa caucus.
Back to proper posting! Here is a close-up of a 1 hour sketch from our figure drawing session last night at the Renaissance School of Art.
Packed up most of my drawing supplies for the weekend so I did up this Kylo Ren for today’s Sketch of the Day using just my Pilot Eno red layout pencil and a Prismacolor brush pen.
For the artists out there, I really like the Pilot pencil and have been using it for layouts/roughs on all my work for months now, but the Prismacolor brush pen lost it’s point pretty quickly, so I would recommend sticking with the Faber Castell pens instead.
