Happy Thanksgiving :)

Food-induced-nap-doodles aside, I'm feeling very thankful for so much in my life.  Speaking of...thanks for visiting my blog & for the continued support!  Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving & a nice start to a happy holiday season :)

The Drawing Club Sketches (11/10/11)

Below are my sketches from last week's The Drawing Club session.  Steve Jacobsen posed as the Circus Ringmaster.

Thanks for visiting! :)

New Sketches

As I get back into the swing of things, I've been trying out a couple new sketchbooks lately.  I'm actually growing fond of a particular one with toned paper...it has a sorta brown-baggy kind of texture, which makes it fun to experiment a bit with watercolors.  Anyway, here are some recent sketches:

Thanks for the support!  I shall leave you with this final thought :)

Sketches I meant to post a while ago...

I've been really bad at staying on top of this blog, so I'm trying to catch up with this larger post.  Below are compilations of sketches from the past few months and SketchCrawls:

Random people sketches...

The sketches below are from a pocket sketchbook...it suffered from a mishap involving water and cough drops, but I thought I'd still post these...so please pardon the red splotches and water stains :P...

These couple sketches (respectively done in pencil/watercolor and water-based oils) took place on a recent trip to Eaton Canyon...

SketchCrawl #31 (April 16, 2011)...at the Los Angeles Zoo...

SketchCrawl #32 (July 23, 2011)...in San Diego during Comic-Con weekend...(same stained pocket sketchbook as above)

SketchCrawl #33 (October 15, 2011)...at Descanso Gardens...

I admit I haven't been sketching as often as I should (booooo)...so definitely trying to change that.  That said...I do plan on attending Designer Con this Saturday (11/5) in Pasadena, CA to support my amazingly talented friends Squid Kids, Hyperactive Monkey, Kwestone & Edgar Antonio, and Paul Wilson.  There will also be live figure drawing sessions hosted by Dr. Sketchy's LA, so I look forward to posting some sketches from this event soon.  Please join if you can!

Thanks for the support!
