New Sketchbook 2004-2007


And now we return to the sketchbooks. This one got started sometime in 2004 and apparently only worked in sporadically. The last few pages have dates of 2007. We’ll get to those eventually.

This page is primarily random sketches. Abbie Guerrecash from Misspent Youths is at the top of the page but, except for the version of Popeye at the bottom of the page, the rest of the figures are one-offs.

Men With Hats


I started this one thinking I might do a Doc Savage type of group but after detailing the first guy on the left I knew that these guys were going to look much sillier.

Deadtime Sketches 2


As you can see by the date this sketch was done the same day as the sketch I posted yesterday. As with the other sketch I just started drawing. The only thought I had was that I would draw a woman. You’ll have to ask her what she plans to do with that … whatever that is.

Deadtime Sketches


The next few posts are of sketches I did recently at the day job. It’s not that things were slow. I just haven’t been able to draw much either at home or at work and I really really needed to. A lot of the time when I haven’t been drawing much I end up with pages of unfinished overlapping indistinct shapes; a riot of images that I can’t focus on enough to complete any particular one. Somehow these sketches resulted in complete images.

I just let myself draw whatever came to mind. In fact, I purposely avoided drawing anything I might have drawn before. I have no idea what this thing is.
