Today's sketches

Some cartoon faces for today's warm-up before work.

Fashion Magazines

Here are some cartoon sketches, drawn from various fashion mags. I try to use the magazines just for references and continue to explore cartoon styles and exploit the shapes. These were done with a Prismacolor Col-erase pencil (tuscan red). These are my favorite pencils to sketch in this style with. I'll post more of these when I get around to scanning them in.

The Bat

One of my favorite characters of all time, Batman. Ink and watercolor.

FAN ART

So, I decided to dedicate my new Fabriano Artist Journal to stylized versions of my favorite cartoon, comic book, and movie characters. These sketchbooks are awesome, they come with multi-colored pages and the quality of the paper is top notch in my opinion. These are drawn using different colored prismacolor col-erase pencils, and inked with Esterbrook pen nibs, and a japanese brush pen. Drawing this way, really frees up my mind, and allows me to have fun exploiting shapes and mimicking a variety of art styles.
