Foos it or lose it.

I'm trying to be better at keeping a dedicated sketchbook this semester. It's not that I draw less during school than I do on breaks, it's just that I draw on scraps, which wind up getting lost or thrown out. I didn't want quick drawings getting all mixed up with my polished sketchbook drawings but really, what's a sketchbook for? So now my sketchbook takes all comers... scribbles, paintings, what have you. Here are a couple recent pages.
I saw a couple people's sketchbooks recently and they did some really cool things with text so I think I'll be messing around with that more. I love the bottom foosball drawing. We were at EA (internship) and it was our lunch break so we made a beeline for the game room and I drew a couple friends really heavy into a game of foosball. The older woman in the upper right corner is my mom, who I drew when we went out to dinner last week. She saw my drawing and said she looked old and my dad and I replied in unison that she is old.


We did a movie night a few weeks ago and my friend Alyssa was cool enough to sit still for a half hour so I could draw her portrait. The other drawings were done at figure drawing during a long pose that didn't favor my position in the room.


Cartoonizised self-portrait. If anything, I got my nose right. Damns I need to do something about my bangs.

I have no excuse to not post often... I have to keep the website up to date so at the very least, ya get the same stuff I'm throwing on the site. ;) Also, I'm a responsible grown up professional person.
