Baby Blue

Here's some random sketches of young child in his 1 piece blue pj's. Just having some fun. The last 3 images were just random images I drew out on different pages and thought why not just but them in a short sequence since they do kinda tell a story once there placed together. I hope.  Also wanted to say thanks again for everyone that stops by and comes to take a look at my posts even though I've been lagging of late but thank you for continuing to follow my blog and for the nice comments. 

Everyday Peeps.

Well once again I've been lagging with posts. Not that I have had a lot of control of that for various reasons but I'm hoping the month of May will bring a different tune. So thought I would post some sketches that I doodle when I'm driving. Not that I'm driving and drawing....well okay maybe once or twice I might have tried. But usually I try to look for people walking down the sidewalk and try to memory sketch them once I come to a stop sign and quickly sketch them out before the light turns green. A lot of fun to do but hate it when the light turns green to fast by the time I pick up my pocket sketchbook and then I lose that mental picture at the moment. But eventually that certain person sticks in my head and I'll sketch them out at home. Always nice to do all these little doodles of people because you just never know when you can use these sketches for certain projects or jobs.

Monday Randomness

Well can't believe March is almost over. The time is just flying by faster and faster. Wow. On that note just a couple of drawings. I was trying out a new sketchbook just to see how the paper would react to a watercolor wash. I think it's okay. Some pro's and cons. I'm always on the hunt for new sketchbooks. I'm a sucker for those. The other doodle is a video gamer very engrossed in what he was playing. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Been Forever!

Hi everyone. Talk about being out of commission. These past weeks have been crazy. Been helping my grandparents move out of their house of 42 years and you can imagine trying to box and clean 42 years of belongings and trash. But now that their all moved and doing well it's time to get back to blogging.

Even though I've been extremely busy I still been sketching. So here's a Dump of observational drawings and peoples Heedz that I've seen and some from imagination. Hope everyone is doing well and can't wait to see everyone's more recent postings at their blogs.

Observational Sunday

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. Thought I'd post up a snippet of some of my Observational sketches of people that I did today and yesterday. I'm going to try and make it a habit of going out more on Sundays (now that football is over...sigh) and do this type of thing.

Keeping it Loose

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates of late. Hope everyone is doing well and again a million thanks to you all for taking the time to stop by and post a comment.

Well thought I'd post some life or figure drawings. I wanted to post these ones since these are my more loose and spontaneous sketches. I know a lot of us like are sketches to be nice a clean looking and I'm always guilty of that but I'm really trying to make a conscious effort to not think about that and just be loose and quick and the drawings will have a life of their own once done. So go crazy and be loose and spontaneous and not worry if a certain part of the body looks right or wrong it's all about the energy and the main thing is to have fun. I know we all do or else we wouldn't be doing these bloggers. Our Sketchbook drawings should be raw with energy. So here's a few of my loose stuff in pen (always the best to use since it keeps you form erasing a line you might not like) Looking back at these sketches I know I could have pushed the poses even more...but hey that's how we learn right?

Oh and on a side not if you have not picked it up already Mark McDonnells book "The art and feel of making it real" Is a excellent book about gesture and making our sketches tell a story. Highly recommend it and it's a great addition to every artist library. I love it.

Random Thursday Heeeedz.

Sketched these out earlier today. Been kinda a sluggish day for me today. So thought I would throw some colors on them for fun.

The Crossing Guard

Here's an observational drawing of this heavy set crossing guard I seen while I was stopped at a signal. He was sitting on the curb waiting for kids to come by so he could do his duty. The funny thing was when kids did show up he still just sat there while holding up the stop sign as opposed to walking over to the middle of the crosswalk to help the kids and parents crossover. Sheesh!

Hey Wait! Come back!

Papi

Was just playing around with a couple of different takes on a old man. Just drawing in my book today having some fun.
