some more recent stuff from 2.8.12

This week, I decided to use fineliner pen because I hadn't sketched with it for a while. Another thing I wanted to try to do based from the core77 blog forum critique, was to try to do a quicker line drawing and putting focus on one area. These sketches focused on the face. Some are decent, some are pretty good.

some red pencil sketches from 7.27.11

Here are some red pencil sketches from the first sketchbook. I thought it was a pretty good week.

a little from the old book, a little from the newer one...

With this week, I used a fine point sharpie pen and a wide permanent marker for the sketches. The gestures looked pretty messy, but created a nice grungy effect with the toned paper. As the session went on, I ran out of the pages in the toned sketchbook and switched over to the newer white sketchbook. A wide permanent marker is pretty challenging to use. I think next time, I should use a drier marker!

sketches from 9.21.11

There were a lot of good sketches for this week. Some maybe a little heavy-handed, but overall, not too bad.
