Monsters Play Hide 'n' Seek

Jack and Johnny never really did get the point of Hide 'n' Seek.

Make 'im Walk the Plank!!

Never was into pirates much, so haven't drawn many pirates but I thought it might be fun to try drawing one.

Sophie's Corner

With a fever, migraine, and sore throat yesterday, no drawing got done...But today, after a barfing baby and a sickish Mari, I managed to sit down with the women and chat and draw something. This is Sophie's corner where she keeps all her toys and stuff.


"Sophie's Corner"
Pencil
Tombow Marker
Newsprint Paper

"I'm sorry" Flowers

I tried drawing this vase of "I'm sorry" flowers yesterday from about a two or three feet away yesterday, but was immediately overwhelmed by the details. I could not think of anyway to translate the thing down onto paper, and gave up.

I tried again today after talking to Mari about it and came up with the idea of drawing them from about 10 feet away, and it worked out much better, and I was able to just approximate the thing.

"I'm sorry"
Charcoal, white-out on newsprint.

Mari's Feet

Some quick studies of Mari's feet. Tried shading the one on the left with markers, but it turned out a little harsher than I would have liked...

Also I gave my stamp another version.

Self-portrait

The second charcoal self portrait. This time I used the process that I developed at life drawing yesterday. The proportions turned out a lot better than last time due to the first pass with a light marker. The shading's a bit better too, but it still has strange hitches in it, and the value range is a little inconsistant, but it's a step in the right direction. I also forgot to draw my mustache. haha.

Life Drawing @Art/Not 003

Life drawing from Art/not this morning. Forgot to pay last week, and then forgot to pay the meter after 2 hours... Grand total for life drawing today = $64.00. geez...luckily Ol' Ben Hopper is going to be kind enough to split that ticket, so I guess it's more like $42.00. Anyways, the materials and process for these was:

Tombow Marker for layout,
Conte Crayon pass for line and some detail,
Vine Charcoal for medium and light values,
Compressed Charcoal for the darks,
White-out pen for highlights and lines on giant newsprint.



25 minutes poses.
