Nude in Pencil (2)

Annd here's another one. I'm not happy with the eyes, so much. There's nothing wrong with them other than the fact that I didn't manage to get them the way I wanted. That's what matters though, so it bugs me. In any case, yesterday we had boobies, so this one balances out the whole T&A thing. (As if we really need balance though).

Nude in Pencil

It's been a while, but nothing helps get back into the swing of things like penciling some nudes. (With plenty-of-lead-in-my-pencil jokes galore). I had fun shading this one in, and I managed to get the teeth more or less right (As in, I was happy with them), even though the mouth might be a bit big for the face as a whole. Anyhoo. Boobies!

Faces of Africa

Ok, so that whole doodle book thing didn't help me sketch as regularly as I had hoped. I haven't given up on it yet.

In the meantime, here's something else. A little while ago, I bought this book as a reference book, since it has some really stunning photos that got my mind moving (finally).

Here's a sketch inspired by one of those photos.

Doodle While I Work - 2

Day 2 of doodling.

So far so good, let's see how long I can keep them going.

Here's the sketch:

I have a feeling I'll be doing this sketch a lot. There are endless possibilities for a giant boardroom painting....

Doodle While I Work - 1

Day one of doodling. (Was contemplating making that not sound dirty, but couldn't be bothered).

I've scanned in a bunch of the pages from that book (Doodle While You Work) I mentioned in an earlier post, so that I can print them out and doodle on them over and over and over, you get the idea.

I won't be doing them in order. Not that you'd notice unless you had the book, since there are no page numbers.

So here's the first page:

Yes. I am insane.

Doodle While I Work

Yikes, a whole month since the last update. I could have sworn it hasn't been that long.

Sigh.

Over the weekend I bought this book:

It contains a bunch of semi completed or started doodles which the reader is invited to finish off. My intention is to use these sketches as a kind of springboard for my imagination (what's left of it). Hopefully this way I'll get back into the habit of sketching and trying new things.

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.
