heres an old sketch of mine

Nice one, Evan. You should get some new ones on the go!

yeah ive just been busy with other classes and media. im taking a photography and a print making class right now, and ive been doing a lot of digital stuff lately

derp. Just pointless doodles.

this will be a fun blog. i'd show you my sketches if i had any. :P

Started filling up a new sketchbook for the new year. I want to start filling whole pages and getting some ink practice in.

i dont sketch.

mine is too dirty for your innocent eyes, simon

Sorry for going M.I.A. for a couple of days... time is an elusive bugger sometimes. Thanks for sharing these though!

Evan - I understand, man. Keep it up if you can though - it's hard to beat a tangible piece of work, even if it is just a scribble.

Esta - you always manage to express a lot of character and movement in your figures, even in their simplicity. Nice work! :-)

Randy - get some pen to paper then, mate!

Lucas - great perspective in the street POV sketch, man. Plus the light and shade in the superhero one is awesome too. Cheers for sharing.

Terry - I dig the bold black & white style. Definite impact there. I can empathise with the use of the whole page. I use to limit myself to just one page but have recently begun covering the full sketchbook spread. You working on a comic there or is it just whatever comes to mind?

Eric - fair enough. I guess you don't need to for your work!

Jeff - HAH!!! You know so much better than that, mate...



Alright, here's just a couple of recent pages from my moleskine... I've really become addicted in the past months, getting stuck into my sketchbook everyday.

that second one is really coool

it's based on you, man.

d'aww



lmaoooooo

lmao. where do find all of these gifs?!?!!!

Oh, and speaking of filthy... when are we gonna do our collab, eh?

hahahah yesss we have to get started on that! i actually have to run to class now, but ill shoot ya an email later, k? :)

Deal. Cheers big ears.

i love the BLAH

blah blah blah... maybe I'll adapt it to a tee design to crash and burn here. :-)

i will support it, and i'll force everyone else to too. :P

Thanks!! I really like the second one that looks like an explosion.

Here's Some

Ah wicked. Cheers chandelin... there's some great stuff in there!

A rough sketch i made a long while ago, the result is up for scoring right now.

Cheers.

Holy s&%$.... My bad.

Let's resurrect this.

Here's two of my most recent pages...

$5555555555555

Sold!!! Will that be cash, cheque or electronic transfer? :-D

i love snooping through peoples sketchbooks..mine tend to just be full of goofy character drawings:

love those simon! ps. i will send you a message this weekenddddd, im so bad at this hahaha.

citizen those are Amazing!

wowowow

My sketches are flat out embarrassing, showing people is like giving a job interviewer a handwritten limerick for a resume.

Citizen, those "goofy characters" rock. Keep it up!

Cheers, Jeff! No stress about emailing and all... I'm the worst. Don't want it to be a chore, so whenever is fine, mate.

Never underestimate a handwritten limerick for a resume, Hippo! ;-)

Hah! Nice one, Phil. Getting cold over there, eh? Thanks for sharing.

Here's a few of my recent ones.....










Keep them coming! I want to see more.

Damn I was hoping you wouldnt say something like that, I guess I need to work on my drawing.

Its supposed to be Marty McFly from back to the future as a crow.

Ooooooh! LOL... no, there's nothing wrong with your drawing. I'm just slow. Haha. I dig it.

Gah, there is so much talent in this blog. I feel bad for not having a sketchbook on the go.

I used to feel the same, Kimby. You should try to get into it if you really feel inclined... even if it's just one drawing a week... however small, making a start is better than not. I remember being so unbelievably anxious about wasting paper feeling that perhaps my drawings were not good enough or worthwhile enough for it. Hastily scribbling in defiance to inhibition and expectations has helped... it's quite funny what can hinder us at times. Let's see a sketch from you here sometime. :-)

Kimby, I havent drawn anything from scratch in years, I lost my confidence with drawing back when I was 14 because of school.

This is the first time I've drawn anything without tracing, its not amazing but its a start, so I guess what I'm trying to say is just do it.

I stopped having a sketchbook around the same time I finished studying... which was probably a mistake. I do sit down and sketch from time to time, but I burn through the paper without making anything substantial, and it's a pretty infrequent thing anyway.

Trying to put stuff together in a book would probably help with that... but like Simon said, I hate that anxiety that comes with messing up a page.

There shouldn't be shame in not keeping a sketchbook regularly... but I'd argue it really does help your creative psyche evolve because, for most, you're doing it for nobody but yourself. I'd really recommend just scribbling any old nonsense or creative whim. Eventually you'll have a breakthrough and find yourself some place new or at least you'll just stop caring so much about the anxiety of messing up pages... I think I'm somewhere in the middle now. Haha.

Sketchbook tsunami...








































... and so many more...

you really are freakin amazing, simon

Oh man, noooooo... you're way too kind... just trying to find my feet, mate. :-)

Hey Simon, that's awesome!

I forgot about this blog, was thinking of scanning some stuff =)

Thanks man! And totally, do it! Share your stuff. I don't know why more haven't. Either people are too shy or simply don't use good ol' pen and paper anymore... would be great to see more more more! :-D

these are wonderful, man!

This is a great blog. I'm totally watching it. I'll post some later. Meanwhile you can check these and more on my posts.
