Ishmael - 3

Aaaaaand, here's another one I popped out in my lunch break.


Not sure how well the concept of Ishmael flipping over has come across. Ah well, next time.

Ishmael - 2

Here's another one.

If I could do it over, I might put Ishmael's text balloon under him.

Yes, I am aware that Sam is misquoting Hamlet. He's just practicing.

Ishmael - 1

Just for fun, I've decided to print out a bunch of comic templates to draw strips in when I'm on the go. This one was done without any pencils underneath. I also wrote the text and speech balloons last and by hand, which obviously shows...

Nudes in Ink (NSFW)

Here are some sketches I did to practice nudes. Since I couldn't find a working pencil (Insert quips about running out of lead here), I had to draw directly in ink. This was actually kind of fun even though it was a little stressful. None of the sketches look that much like the models. Any mistakes I made had to be worked into the image, since I had no way to undo them. Most importantly, no way to draw any guidelines in to get the proportions and placement as good as I'd like.

All in all a good little exercise I think I'll be doing again. Last one's a little racy, perhaps, but damn it, I needed to practice on an interesting pose.

Back to Sketching

It's been a while since my pencil touched paper. A number of things have been going on, etc etc. I am however planning to fit more sketching into my new schedule from now on. It's just a matter of finding ways to sketch on the go.

So here are some characters I had a bit of fun with. Parts of my mind are exploring things I could do with them. Let's see.
