And that's a wrap!!!

I don't know how many people visit or track this blog but if you're out there, I am closing out my Blogger account and have made the jump to Wordpress. Not only do I feel like Wordpress offers greater control and flexibility but I am just insanely impressed with them as a company and I am psyched to give them my business. Please check out my new blog at:

Best,

A few more...

Things are about to get nuts at work so I don't know if I'll be able to make it to drawing on Wednesdays as the holidays approach. Here's a few more from last week...

2 Weeks in a Row!

So I got to sneak into drawing for two consecutive weeks. Yippee for me! I was trying to slow down and do some different stuff but lo and behold, these look like most of the other drawings on this blog. They are all 3 minute drawings and it was fun to actually slow down and "look" a bit more on the 3's. Normally I like to stick with 1 and 2 minute poses to just get a feel and move on.

Drawin' Dudes

All the guys at the studio make fun of me because I prefer to draw woman but I have to say it's a nice change to draw a guy once in a while. The muscles and shapes are all different plus there is a hard, angularness (if that's a word) that women tend not to have. Here's from an hour last Wednesday...

And a couple more oldies...

Every 4 months!

Not the best way to post but better late than never! Plus Cook's been giving me a hard time so I figure should probably get something up. I drew for an hour in the studio yesterday which was a MUCH needed break from the computer but DANG I can feel the rust. Drawing for an hour every couple of months is not he way to stay in shape. I am by no means proud of these drawings but there were the best of the batch so I might as well post 'em. (You should see the ones that DIDN'T make the cut. Yikes!)

Annual Update!

So I was showing my friend my blog the other day and I was horribly embarrassed when I realized I hadn't updated in a year and a half! Jiminy Cricket, that's a long time! I have drawn since then although I admit not NEARLY enough. The problem is I barely have time to make it to life drawing, much less scan and post. Here's a handful from the past month or two. I hope to pick this up again and make it more of a habit...

Some stuff

Not the greatest but had to get SOMETHING up. I drew for an hour last week and had 10 minutes to scan this morning. I grabbed some drawings from previous sessions and there's a bunch more in the book but who has time to sit in front of the Epson for an hour!

I'm not dead, just busy (and rusty!)

I got a comment alert the other day so I looked at my blog and realized it's been a YEAR since I updated. Holy crap time goes fast!!! For 8 or 9 of those months I didn't draw at all then over the summer we began having a model to the studio every week. Unfortunately, during most of that time I barely drew either! Things at the studio have been crazy busy with the launch of Starring You (and now Sendables) but every once in a while I would sneak into a session for 30 minutes to escape the madness. I have a few sketchbooks that I'd like to scan but who knows when. In the meantime I scanned these this morning because I just couldn't bare the fact that it's been THIS long. So... here they be!

TOO long!

It's been over two months since I've had a model at the studio and I'm beginning to go through withdrawl! I've been incredibly busy at work and the ladder half of the summer and most of the fall has escaped me. We've been working on multiple projects at once and, for a guy that doesn't sleep much anyway, this is the busiest I've been in my life! Since John was nice enough to give me a super plug on Drawn! I figure I better at least post SOMETHING new. These are also from the last time I had a model in. I hope to get back on schedule soon but it doesn't look like our production schedule is going to let up until after the new year...

August 6, 2006

I was inspired by my friend John Mahoney and spent the whole night drawing with a ballpoint pen. It makes complete sense, but it still always amazes me how switching tools changes everything.

July 23, 2006

Had a fun day drawing. Was in and out of the groove but even while I was out it was still enjoyable. Kept the drawings all small in the 5x8 book. Feel like next session I'll need to switch it up again. Maybe go back to brush or charcoal?
