Sketch Dump: Heads, Mostly

Aaron — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 03:36:36 +0000

Let’s see what’s new in the old sketchbook, shall we?

Most of my practicing the past week or two has focused on heads and faces. This gentleman has feet. That makes him unique in this post. (Though clearly I could stand to practice some body proportion next — see edit. :-P)

I’ve been putting some pencil to paper lately; here’s a sampling.

Hourly Comic Day 2010

Aaron — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:53:53 +0000

In January, the some-kind-of-awesome John Campbell (of pictures for sad children) draws an hourly journal comic. On 1 February, he invites the rest of the world to join him.

This was my first year attempting the Hourly Comic challenge. Consider this penance for having slacked off on my sketch posts. (Oh, and yeah, the lack of practice shows.)

It was grueling. It was fun. The results are below. (Also available on the Hourly Comic forum)

Squid-Face Sketch Post

Aaron — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 04:53:47 +0000

I’ve fallen behind on posting lately, for which I apologize (mostly to myself). There was a wedding one week, and a graduation the next, with lots of lab time in between. Meanwhile, Sara and I have discovered (and gotten completely sucked into) “Battlestar Galactica.” And on top of it all, I find myself with the responsibility of writing and organizing a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, a bit of a challenge considering the fact that neither I nor any of my three players have played the game before (apart from a few trial sessions).

In short, I’ve let myself get somewhat distracted from writing and drawing. It’s not the end of the world, I know. But it did feel good to pick up a pencil again the past night or two, if only a little bit at a time.

On the subject of fantasy games, I have been seriously jonesing for the original Final Fantasy on the NES.

Sorcerers will destroy you.

Sketch Post on Sunday

Aaron — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:36:37 +0000

I have a few more sketches to share!

I think it would be pretty neat to play the saxophone. Maybe then I could be as cool as Wally Gator.

Zeichnungen am Donnerstag

Aaron — Fri, 01 May 2009 03:24:06 +0000

To force myself to draw (and post) more often, I’ve decided to try posting sketches every Thursday. And what a day on which to begin! Orac reminds us that today, 30 April, is Führertodestag, the 64th anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s suicide!

*spucken*

More Hitler and other stuff below the fold.
