It's been a long time since I did a portrait in this medium. A friend of mine commissioned it, so I had to sweep away some dust and cobwebs in my mind and remember how I did the first ones. I used a colored matboard, and four prismacolors for the rendering.
This is for a t-shirt design. Apparently, the sheep is supposed to look stoned. I was given the reference photograph of a mask, and after doing a bit of sketching, I ended up with the simpler vector version at the bottom.
This is another drawing that I did a while ago. I like to sketch in church, and usually I make stuff up. This time I thought the guy in front of me would make an interesting subject.
I haven't drawn anything new today, so I'll post something old. I did this maybe 6 months ago, as a concept drawing for a customer. He never came back in to see it. It was still fun to do.
It's amazing how Sketchbook Pro imitates pencil lines. It's a simple program, and fun to use.
In the top sketch I started with several smaller ideas, and as I developed them, they ended up almost fusing together in one.
In the bottom sketch I was thinking about an imaginary bully kid that is bigger than everyone else his age, and how he lives to terrorize the neighborhood.
I know you aren't supposed to draw on lined notebook paper, but if that's what you have handy, that's what you use. There is no particular meaning to this. I just felt like drawing and this was the result.
