Old Sketches (1)

Finding old sketches I never put up here.


A warrior fighting some swamp wyrms.

I'll be putting one of these up every day for the next few weeks while I work on some other projects of mine.

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.
