+SKETCHES+ONE





Well, as promised I would be posting sketches here as well updates concerning my website and the like--today I decided to post some sketches. Some are a little cleaner than others would others pretty messy. I normally don't show my sketches very often mainly because I don't like them usually but for those curious it shows I guess in some ways how I think about form and how I construct/design characters. To me its a way to figure out how to solve problems that continue to creep into my drawings at times and with a blog what better way to document mistakes...-_-.

Outside of that I've been doing alot planning for potential attacking self-publishing along with submitting to whoever wants to make me a slave at my desk and of course that means a bit more work on my end...but its what it is, really. I actually look forward to the process and while it forces me to re-design a few things (see hard drive failure) I see it as a good thing...at least thats what I keep telling myself these days.

Good deal! I don't think I've ever seen you sketch like this before.

The 2nd picture is my favorite and the strongest of the bunch, though I'm tempted to ask: were they master copies or from life? Not that there's anything wrong with doing copies but the information you take in varies.

It is kinda weird to see a page full of hands and then in the sketch beneath it... they're kinda nonthoughts.

The first picture is good; I like the planar deconstruction. Watch out for your ankles however, they seem to merge with your calves. Getting the concave curvature just right can be tricky.

Also, don't beat yourself up too much about showing mistakes. If you dont show them at stages like this, and get them fixed they'll only cause trouble later.

I love your work! Your pencil lines on the third picture are super clean "Man" I can't wait until my work gets to that level of professionalism
