Sketchbook dump...

My friend Keith and I have recently started giving ourselves weekly sketching projects to keep us motivated to draw. And I tend to draw the same things over and over if I don't give myself a bit of direction. So I was hoping this would help with that as well..I've been posting mine to my facebook account and thought I'd post a few here too. They're just mindless sketchbook doodles.. So don't think you're getting anything of quality. :) This was our first subject.. A Takin.. I did a couple of sketches from photo ref and the quickly veered off into cartoony caricatures..




Then Keith suggested we draw some rhino's. I didn't go as far off into the land of cartoon as I did with the Takin. Just quick little sketches...







Then Keith and I went to Tim Hortons and drew some regulars for a little bit. We only ended up staying for about 10 mins or so because Keith was too into it that day. But here's what I got out of it.. The first page was drawn from memory after I got home..



Our next drawing motivational subject was "evil". We were just going to draw whatever came into our heads when we thought of that word.. Again. I veered off track. As I tend to do. :) So some of these are less evil than they should be...













This one I drew with my daughter Chloe. She made some gestural lines around the page and I made a picture out of it. I think I like it the most:).


And with that I filled the sketchbook. It's been awhile since I've filled a sketchbook. It'll soon be time to figure out next weeks sketching project and start a fresh new sketchbook. Hopefully we can keep this up and I can fill the new one fast. I've got alot of barely started / totally empty sketchbooks that need filling. :)
