Sketchbook pages 12 & 13...

Here's 2 more pages I drew last night while half asleep on the couch.. You can tell.. by how random they are..

Sketchbook pages 6 - 11...

Hey all.. as promised.. or maybe I should say as warned.. I'm posting all my sketchbook drawings in my new pad as I do them.. Here's my weekend drawings.. Kyle and I went downtown and sat at one of the sidewalk cafe's and listned to jazz for a few hours.. it was great.. wish I could say the same about the drawings.. you can tell that I kinda got disinterested by the end of it. And look.. I left the part on the second page where i dropped water from my glass on the page.... so that can attest to me not editing anything.. enjoy....

Sketchbook pages 4 & 5...

Soo.. Here's yesterdays sketchbook drawings.. as they appear in my book.. You can probably notice by some of the line work showing through the noses on these that I've taken to drawing my head shapes first.. then adding the features.. Not my normal way of doing it.. I'd usually start with the persons most prominent feature.. then build around it... And I'm usually more slavish to how much they resemble the people I'm drawing... these are more "inspired by" the people as opposed to a straight out caricature.. again.. something i never tended to do that often.

hehe.. funny story.. on the top page there's two bearded guys at the bottom.. well.. I had just started drawing this guy. like literally just a line .. and he looks right up at me.. and stares.. so i draw the rest of it without looking back at him.. drawing what I assumed he looked like... it ended up looking just like me.. only with glasses and different hair.. later I drew the second one.. same guy.. only now he had forgotten about me.. what a difference.. So aparently if I don't get a good look at someone.. I draw myself.. I don't know how freudian that is...

Nathan had good point about posting my sketchbook drawings this way.. he said it's going to take alot of honesty.. and possibly a whole lot of humility to do this.. again.. hopefully i can keep this going.. even through the very off periods.. Have a good weekend!!.

Sumo...

Soo.. I'm going to be working on some sumo animation here at the studio.. Here are some rough gestures I did today to try and get a feel for the character.. He's got alot of mass.. and I think that's going to be fun to move around.. I didn't do the actual design for this character.. My director did that.. And I didn't quite put him on model. and some of the construction.. is.... well... questionable ;).. even in this rough stage.. oh well.... These were all done in flash.. That's what I'll be using to animate this sucker too.. Hopefully I'll get the time to make the animation look as good as I can make it look... here's hoping.. Enjoy!!.

New Sketchbook...

So.. I had to start a new sketchbook yesterday.. And I thought of a new idea for my blog.. I'm going to try and post every page from this sketchbook as I draw it.. That means there'll be decent drawings.. and horrible drawings.. and possibly some incomprehensible stuff as well.. I'm going to try and do no editing whatsoever.. just scan and crop out any weirdness.. and post.. We'll see how long i do this.. as my sketchbooks often have vast sections of total crud. I'll still be posting other things as I draw them too,, So it won't be all 100% sketchbook.. But it should give all of you an idea as to how often.. and how inconsistantly I draw in my sketchbook.. sooo. enjoy the inside cover and the first pages of mall sketches....

Still Here...

I'm still alive.. Been kinda neglecting my blog as of late.. poor blogey.. I've been messing around with my jam character.. trying to get something that feels nice and i can draw repeatedly..That's almost impossible for me.. Saw super man too.. hence the weird superman drawings.. I also saw Dead Mans Chest.. So be warned that there might be some equally bad pirate drawings to come...
