This is my favorite sketch in quite some time.

I hated, hated, HATED his face and it went downhill from there.

In the future, the alligators will have the jetpacks.
As I said before, I really liked how this one turned out. It’s a bit overworked for a sketch, and underworked for a drawing, but at least it’s an alligator with a jetpack. That’s the important thing.

Sketch-a-Day #35

This is the first drawing I made with my new lead (HB) and the last drawing that I made in this sketchbook. I suppose I could flip it over and draw on the back of the pages, but pencil smudges and I still have a few sketchbooks that have been sitting unused for quite some time so I may as well make use of them.
The morning after drawing this, I came downstairs and saw that my son had placed a sticky note on it that read, “Very, very disturbing”

This is a quick sketch I did from a video game cover. My goal was to capture body positions more than anything else. Can you guess what game it is?

Wow, this one looked so much better in my head. Part of the thing I’ve been fighting all along is the hardness of my lead. It’s 2B, which is not bad for sketching, but almost useless for detail work unless you do a lot of sharpening. The harder a lead is, the longer it can maintain a point, but the lighter the strokes are. It’s a balancing act. If you want dark lines that can be a bit fuzzy, use a higher B rated pencil. If you want sharp details that don’t have to be dark, drop into the H’s.
Ideally, since this is a sketching project I wouldn’t bother with details, and for a lot of sketches I don’t. But once in a while I make a sketch that I want to work a bit further and add in some details.
Never mind the reality that the initial lines in this one are wrong. I’m blaming the lead.
