Just some silly drawings from an old sketchbook.
Sketches
I grabbed one of my first finished sketchbooks and pulled out a few of the better ones. I would have shared all the pages, but it’s large and won’t fit on the scanner. I hate editing photos. I hate editing photos I took with a camera instead of scanning the […]
Sunday Sketches – Throw Back
I know, it’s Monday, but here’s my sketchbook from Paris. My niece met me there after my week in the Netherlands and we spent our time walking around and taking in everything we could. Also eating. Lots of eating. If you want to see the Netherlands sketchbook, it’s here. As […]

Take a look at my sketches from the Netherlands
Sunday Sketches: Netherlands Travel Sketchbook
Playing with my new toy.
My Little Travel Palette
I went through a few older sketchbooks for this post. Some are from years ago and some are from this year. I’m still working on my sketches from Holland and Paris.
Sunday Sketches
The weather is absurd. It’s so windy I rescheduled lunch plans and refuse to leave my house. Gusts up to 50mph. I feel like I’m back in New Mexico. With my newly freed afternoon, I thought I’d scan in some sketches. I bought a very nice leather sketchbook on my […]
Sunday Sketches
2 News: Two of my WIPs are online at DeviantArt. The link is to the left. I have two more, but one is a surprise and they both need to be finished by Friday. I don’t want to take the time to load them twice in a few days because I […]
Mouth and Chin
This is a gesture drawing. They are fun to do, but complicated. You have to sit at the far edge of the bench with your arm straight, drawing by only moving your shoulder and/or elbow, holding the pencil at the back and so lightly that the teacher could just tap […]
Gesture Drawing
Another gesture, same woman
Gestures
This is the second line drawing I did. I got a lot farther on this and I think the only thing the teacher did was the lines on the face.
Line Drawings
This is the first straightline drawing we did for class. This took me the whole week to do and I didn’t get hardly any of her legs finished. Plus I think my teacher did some of it. God that one was so hard. It’s the same lady as the the […]
Straightline Drawing
Just a quick note on sizes All work from class is done on 18 x 24 in paper so unless I take a picture of it to post the whole thing will not be on here. Practice from books is done in my 5 1/2 x 8 in notebook Actual […]
Quick Note on Sketch Sizes
I’ve moved onto the nose, obviously. Just one more page of them before I get to the lips. That’s a large chapter.
Noses 1
Hopefully I will only have 1 page of eyes left and then it’s on to the nose, but that is a much shorter chapter. These are not as good as the other ones. Nothing good from the daily sketch book.
Eyes 3
This is an eye I did on my own. Trying to use all the practice I am getting from that book. It’s done over quick sketches of Tux.
Practice Eye
This is from Saturday. It’s James giving Tux a bath
Quick Sketches
From a park in the Goldcoast, Newberry Library. From 2004.
Street Lamp
Anything with a page number is practice from “The Human Figure” by John H. Vanderpoel. If I start practicing from another book I will note it in the caption.
