Sketches, just like before

Hey all, this poor blog seems a little sad lately. So, not sure why I haven't continued to do this, but its definitely time for me to post some more of my own sketches as of the last month or two...

Fools Ball

Just a quick football illustration from this evening.

Lunch Doodles

Used Google Images to find some random faces to draw during lunch today.

Sketch Book

Recent doodle from my sketch book.

Bus Ride to Work

The Max has now been replaced by the Trax. I decided to take the bus to work yesterday morning. Instead of the 45 minutes of traffic I usually get deal with I got two hours of bus and train... with a dash of drawing. To be honest, 2 hours of crappy mass transit with a little drawing is more fulfilling than 45 minutes of stop and go.

Drawing Time April 11th @ Noon

Been a long time. I will be drawing people at the Cedar Hills Mall food court in Beaverton. I will observe, draw, and report. Come if you wish, bring a sketch book and a pencil.

Color Practice

Hey guys. I posted this on my other blog but thought I would toss it on here as well to keep the sketch group blog alive! Looks like we may have some fresh blood coming into the group to help invigorate our meets (maybe they will actually happen now)

Anyways, did this yesterday to practice coloring in Photoshop. The original was a really small doodle on the corner of some paper.

Current project

Hey guys, long time :(
I'm now in corvallis looking for work. Might have an illustration job *pray hard*
A current personal project i'm working on i'd like to share with you is a music video i'm doing, from the song "One Girl Army" by Five Iron Frenzy.
Heres some character sheets an stuff :0

Hi Sketch Club folks!

We haven't seen much activity with the club lately but I'm still sketching on my own (like most of you I'm sure.)

Anyway, here's some of my latest stuff...

More Political Sketches

There are a couple of quick sketches that I will use as a base for my McCain and Obama Paintings. Hopefully the will look pretty 'deace after I get them all painted up. It is almost election time! Are you in good hands?

Hey everyone, thought i would atleast post something.
Little abstract paint in photoshop.

Debate Sketches

Hey all. Sorry I have been M.I.A lately. I am looking to get things started with a bang with sketch group this week and will be sending out an email to all the members.

I have been doing plenty of sketches, but have not been pro-active in scanning them in to post. Here is a sketch I did during the VP debate on Thursday and it's digitally painted version.

Camp Sketching

I went camping this weekend and missed the sketch group. I was glad to hear that Jeremy and Dan picked up the torch and kept the group alive.

I was able to do a little bit of sketching despite being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Also made an art card, a little campfire fairy.

tanning, pens, and copic markers

Nice sketches Gary. love the monkey and that third page of faces especially.

It was hot today, but got some good sketching done i think.
I took my Copic brush tip markers today (grey scale) and used those, think i'll be doing that from now on.
Found a cool little beach/docking area down on the water front, lady was sun tanning there and was kind enough to let me sketch her, good times.

Toned Paper

So I was really digging drawing with the toned paper. While I am out drawing each week I find myself drawing a lot of people, and not a lot of environments. Well, today I really had a lot of fun changing my pace a little bit. Looking forward to many more of these. I have been wanting to improve my environmental abilities. These quick little sketches were great practice. Good times.
