Hey Strangers! I'mma dump some sketch.

Been moving towns, and finishing projects and a myriad of other time-sucking things that keep me from my sketchbook. On the plus side I've been refocusing on more observational work and figure drawing. Big thanks to Francis Vallejo, who came up with the great idea of putting jpeg nudes in a timed slideshow. I've been saving 15 bucks a week and drawing much better looking models.








I also had the opportunity to draw some dope burlesque models at an event my buddy, Frank Stockton (people have heard him for some reason), knew about.
He even did a lil ditty in my book. I think he dug my brushpen.


And here are some more straightforward sketchbook pages of my girlfriend's pitbull, and my family. Both enjoy spending time on the floor.

I spent some time playing with Yupo paper again. Still one of the strangest surfaces to paint on. I used the ugliest model I could find at 4am to do some lighting studies in watercolor.


Lastly, I had the chance to speak to a kindergarten class about drawing animals. After the talk, I did some requests out of my head of the more popular animals. You may notice the chimp looks a bit exasperated... possibly similar to how I looked when the whole class requested I draw a tiger out of my head.
...Then I requested some of my own.
Thanks for reading,

Skulls, sorta...

Didn't get a chance to do dedicated sketches for skulls, but I was workin on this zombie rollover, so I figured it was close.
I haven't drawn zombies in years. They are fun as Hades.
