Sketch Variety Pack 1

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

All my recent drawings have been: a) comic spoilers, b) spoilers for something else, or c) too small and/or sketchy to be worth posting on their own.

So, since I’ve been wanting to post something, here are several sketches from Category C! Possibly more interesting together than they are separately!

Sketch Variety Pack 1

The jumping/floating guy was pose practice.

The big blue head was the first thing I drew after an ElfQuest reading marathon last month. (I’d just found out that the comics are being posted online. My delight was so profound that it could only be expressed as SQUEE. ♥) I think my art style was affected a bit…

Aaand Kiku and The Don were my facial-proportion practice sketches after reading Drawing the Human Head by Burne Hogarth. (Have I mentioned that I love that guy?)

No idea what the Gauth avatar was about. XD

Group Poses!

For Jennifer of Elfinesse! These are her friends Milo and Trixie, two musicians who make an informal comedy duo:

And a group of friends (including Milo and Trixie again on the right), with Jennifer in the middle:

Good times. :D

Action Kiku

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

This was an exercise like the one in the previous post, only with a full figure instead of a head. It’s Kiku! And he’s… not wearing anything. (Because I wanted to focus on getting the anatomy right. Yeah… that’s the ticket.) So even though nothing controversial is shown, don’t click on the thumbnails if you don’t want to look at naked Kiku. XD

The left sketch is probably the best figure I’ve ever drawn without a reference. (And the one on the right… well, I don’t know what to think of it. But it was fun, and I’m sure it was good practice.) So I’m super happy. ♥

Huzzah for Burne Hogarth!
