Still Sketching

"Maestro"

Saw this photograph in the paper and had to draw it.  Also got to play with some new markers, which is something new for me.  I rather like how it turned out. 

This was done last Wednesday. It was a challenge presented by someone I follow on Twitter. Draw what you think. Draw your Tweets and Facebook posts.  Write them all down.  It was a cool exercise and I got something unlike anything I've ever done before.  He was pleased when I shared the outcome.

More Sketches

A couple more sketches from my Moleskine Notebook.  Hope all those who celebrate are having a good Christmas.

Skill Training

 

One thing I've started doing is some sketches specifically intended as a skills practice. I can lose touch with actual direct images when I'm so embroiled in the abstract pieces.  Doing these sketches helps me to translate what I "see"...whether an actual image or object or just what is in my own mind.
