you take the good, you take the bad

and there you have the facts of life drawing! some duds along with those that don't completely have me looking for the nearest trash can. practice practice.

And now I dump!

Here's a nice dump from me, now! Still gots more where these came from, too.

sketch dump!

Finally sat down and scanned away. My scanner was giving the pencil lines a very strange effect. *shrugs*

Lunch sketches...

Hey guys and gals!  Hope everybody is doing good!  You folks at Powerhouse might recognize these two guys.  I've been drawing a lot more on my lunch breaks lately and Its been so much fun and so REFRESHING!  Long live pencil & paper!

Drawing from life!

Hey guys and gals, hope everybody is doing good.  Here's some life drawings I did at the zoo and at a pond that I live by.  I LOVE to draw grizzly bears - they're just SO MUCH FUN!  I don't know why; maybe its the massive forms and shapes...?  Anyway,  I gotta admit that I spend most of my time drawing people and not enough animals, so I've got some work ahead of me.  Its really cool to observe how animals move and how that relates to their thinking and personalities...hope I'm not boring anybody out there. Long live pencil & paper!

Whataburger wait...

Good day to all!  The other day I walked into a Whataburger and sitting there waiting for his food was this guy.  I was kicking myself for leaving my sketchbook back at the studio.  So, I stole a few observational glances and later that night let it all pour out on the paper.  You should have seen him, he was OOOOZING with personality!  This character design doesn't even scratch the surface of the real thing.  Long live pencil & paper!

Co-workers!

Okay, I think you guys at Powerhouse might know who this is... sometimes co-workers can give you inspiration for a cool character design or just a fun caricature.  

Long live pencil & paper!
