One Week Mark

Well my friends... i'm at the one week mark in Hawaii.
Haven't had too much time to draw the last two days...
but on another note had a little "hiking accident"....
might have broken my ankle and tailbone. hahah oopps.
Made me a little less mobile, but i'm trying to keep up.
Think i might go to the doctor today.

Last night, we had Ryan's bachelor party,
which was a fun long night!
Today is the wedding rehearsal,
so it should be a fun busy day!
i hope all you are doing great!

Heather Marks Vogue Nippon

So two day went fast; got a lot done.
i listened to an album of all Fred Astaire songs.
It was so GOOD! i love Fred Astaire, he is amazing. :)
Oh also had my first in person interview today.
It was fun, alot different than doing interviews over email.

The drawing today i did a while back.
It's pretty funny, this person had started a Myspace profile pretending to be Heather Marks(model),
and at the time, i believed it,
so i did this drawing and sent it to her, all excited to see what she thought of it only to find out....
... oh yes, it was a fake account....
hahahaha i was suckered.
Oh well, if it casued me to make this picture, i'm not mad at it ;)
haha Have a great night!

Number 68

Well, rise and shine my friends,
another new day has begun.
How are you doing?
I'm going into work today,
so i thought i would post a little blast from the past.

This drawing is from Volume 1 of The Character Sketchbook.
i drew it with these super cheap color pens. hahah
i think the model in the picture is Heather Marks.

Well, my friends, i think i'm off for now.
Be back soon enough.
I think I'm going to be going into the "experimental stage" soon,
which means i might have some new techniques to show you all! :)

.... A Sneak Peak.

Hip hip hooray my friends!
Well i've been working on my Character Sketch Book for:

1 year 11 months and 17 days!

It looks like today might be the day i finish up the Second Volume of the book!
So with that said you are probably wondering what this has to do with the images i posted...
well i normally don't do any concept sketches in my character sketchbook cause they are all blind contour cheating a little.
But i decided for the last one of Volume 2 i wanted to have it go out with a bang!
hahahah So the idea is, i wanted to do a drawing with all the people who are drawn in the book,
kind of like a closing curtain call in a play where every one comes out and bows.
Since it's never good to know the ending of a book or movie...
i'm not going to post the finished drawing or show the arrangement...
but i didn't want to leave you in the dark,
so here are some of the really rough working drawings.
You'll just have to use your imagination on the arrangement!
Hope you all are having a great day.

P.s. For thoses who are wondering... Yes that is me wearing lederhosen. hahaha

Heather Marks Drawings.

Ok so there is a kinda funny story with these two drawings.About a year ago, i had done some drawings in my sketch book of a model Heather Marks.i don't know her, just drew off of some photos i liked and thought would be fun to draw.
And when ever i draw someone, i usually try to share it with them, just because i feel like there the true owner of the picture... if that makes sense? but anyways, i looked on myspace and not sure if it really was her. but sent her an email. haha. and to make a long story short, to this day not sure if it was her, i'm thinking it wasn't hahahha, but theses where the drawings.

Character Sketchbook Volume 1

My character sketch book is one of my Favorite pass times. On October 30, 2006 i start the book as a sort of science project, to show people that practice pays off. I was starting to draw a lot, and was working on blind contour drawing and blind contour cheating a little drawing. so I started this book to practice that. I drew all the drawings with a pen so that i wouldn't get tempted to erase. Also, to cut down on variables, I decided to pick two people draw (even though as the book goes on a few more people join the book. The Great Sophie Ward, Heather Marks, and Jessica Stam are a few) through out the book. The Two people i pick where Lily Cole & Gemma Ward, because they look exactly like the characters i drew. My goal is to some day publish all the volumes of this book.(each volume is a 100 drawings). well here is a sneak peak of Volume 1 i hope you like it. i'll be posting so of volume 2 soon.
