nevers, i participated in sketchcrawl last sunday. i only did a few, and today on my first attempt at using scanner/photoshop at work they have mostly come out illegible or HUGE and surrounded by unfortunate whitespace. sad. i could not malinger in the communications office long enough to fix the cropping and sizes to my liking. the mac monitor is so MONSTROUSLY HUGE that i could not judge how big things would turn out. grrr. so anyway, the three below were not even done sunday, but they scanned better than the others, so i thought i'd post them anyway.
my drawing style wanders between wanting to be messy and sketchy and realistic OR cartoonish and flat. these and the many other sketches in my book represent the first efforts at sketching i have been semi-satisfied with in years & years of attempts.
from the lake cabin in connecticut, in july. i have a lot of sketches like this, of kirk reading or playing video games, because that's when he holds still :)
god knows when this is from. this came out of my head, i think i was trying to work out what a slouchy, leaning-on-hands sitting posture would look like.
this was from yesterday. i really do have a jar of pennies and chestnuts on my desk. i think i like this only because glass surfaces seem impossible to draw, to me, but this one is actually better than i thought it would be.
