All Work

So I was told I do cute sketches and don't exaggerate enough... so I experimented a little...







There was a lot of potential to jack this kid up... I did a terrible job.



I quickly learned that these sketches don't sell. Hehe. I will continue to work on jacking up demos though and work on making big sales cuter.

This is probably the best body i've done... but i cheated... there was a mermaid body above my head, so i kept looking at it for reference.


I learned something about head size and proportion here...


How do you make an emo happy? Draw them emo.


I like the way this one came out, and the kid liked it too. It was a demo but he ended up searching the park for dollars and quarters for an half hour or so so he could buy it. thanks kid.


This girl reminds me of Dakota Fanning...


Sigh... Seems the only time I can draw now is at work... I want to do more personal stuff damnit!

Spazmaticals

Yea... I know. i post a lot of pics... Lotta stuff from the past couple weeks. On average though, it seems i post about once a week or so. I'll try to keep that constant. I've been trying out new lines with my drawings, kinda like learning new letters. I think i'm starting to exaggerate on some people... mostly the ears it seems... I like people with big ears, it's easy to draw. Anywho... onward.

Sketch book stuff...

K so... the person on the left is a woman... dunno if you can tell... most elderly women have short hair.

I like this drawing... i think it looks pretty.

people in the lunch room at work...
coworker of mine

I want to draw more bodies, i don't want to limit myself to just shoulder up. I think this looked a lot better before i inked it in though, and it looks pretty flat...

sketches from Barefoot Coffee...

Haha, her hair was so big i had to turn my paper landscape style!
She didn't smile that big when i was drawing her...
I drew a whole group of teenagers and this was the one i liked the most, it was also the most exaggerated (well... that i can do...)
I really think i captured his love for his DS...
If you look closely... the two have matching tattoos!

Here are some of my better park sketches...

Hehe, so one of my buddies from my school showed up at the park, and gladly sat for a demo
Can u guess that this is his brother? haha, looks like i traced the same sketch... not intentional.


I like this one, it's nothing great, but it's one of my more exaggerated park sketches...
as usual the guy came out better than the girl... but they liked it.

ehhhhh... im trying! really, i am!

I think i got this guy pretty well.


I don't really like this sketch at all... but i had to post it because the child's smile is so adorable!

I could've pushed it further i think... i didnt really capture his eyes...

So this kid sat for a demo, and when i drew his ears all pointy, one of friends said he looks like Link from "The Legend of Zelda"... so for kicks i added a body... snagged me a sale at the same time =D

I think this one is one of my better black and whites...
i like how i handled his hair... dunno if i can repeat it.
last one... i swear

K, so there yah go... Lets hope the next batch is better.

Noodles, out. o_O

iWork

Thanks everybody for the comments, it's encouraging. Feel free to continue checking back as I will be posting often. I hope. So hear are some more colored drawings from my sketchbook and a good amount of my park sketches. I'm starting to get a lot faster in my black and white sketches, but still need to work on getting my faces bigger, the color darker, and color faster and more confidently. Bodies are one of my weakest points at the moment, they often come out wonky with lines going over lines, the two that im posting are the best ones that came out this week, you don't want to see the bad ones. =D Sorry for the hard shadows in some of the pics, i can't control the position of the sun... yet.

I drew this woman several times, but this was the only one I colored and inked.




Lips need more dimension...


One handin' the burger. Skillz...



these next two are what i like to call "The Brothers Timmerman". hehe my friend told her brothers who were visiting that I did these so they came to get some done.



I really liked the way these two came out. If i could've exaggerated more, i would have thrown the girls teeth everywhere. she had a good smile, but her teeth kinda went over each other. i just twisted her front one a little.. I really like the likeness of the guy. The girls eyes don't give off enough personality though...


the guy reminds me of Kurt from Gilmore Girls. i may have stretched out his head too much though and I gave the girl a little too much forehead. They were a really nice couple though, probably my favorite customers for the entire day. Putting me in a good mood makes my sketches better and faster too. =D


I really like the way i did this one. The background looks fluffy and cartoony, she looks cute and adorable, and there aren't any crazy wonky lines. No real exaggeration, been doing "safe" sketches still. I think the halo and harp could have been done better though.


Likeness is off and i could have gone darker on color, very generic face. But this was the cleanest spiderman body i've drawn so far... dunno if i got this costume colored quite right yet though, i don't remember whats red or blue or webbed...


I like this one, i just would've cleaned up the hair a little more and gone darker if i could go back.





I know he should have a half beard but they didnt want him to have facial hair... i think i should have given him a smaller mouth too... I really dont like his sketch, but I like the girls, it's one of the cleaner non-child female drawings I've done.





So overall I think I'm starting to notice the smaller features in people that help add likeness... sometimes i don't realize it til it's too late, but that's fine... one day it'll just come natural. Again, still doing relatively safe sketches, not going crazy exaggeration on any of them. So that's it for now. off to draw more.
