Typography Tuesday #9

This was a quick typography sketch I did awhile ago... inspired by my love for Doctor Who.

I wanted to make the words curve from down to up a little bit, but it didn't quite work. Maybe I'll redo this another time, but for now it will stay as a sketch.

Quicky

Quick 30 min sketch... wasn't really planning on sketching, which is why I used a ball point pen on notebook paper.

Nude Drawings - NSFW #2

I keep forgetting to post the drawings from my second life drawing class.

Above was a creepy pose because the model kept looking at me from behind his arm... well for a bit until he fell asleep.

Below is the last and my least favorite pose... The dude kept moving!!!  Made it very hard to draw consistently, and plus again he kept looking at me and i was very uncomfortable.  BUT this drawing also included my favorite detail (remember last week it was her foot)  This week it was his knee.

Nude Drawings - NSFW

I am taking a life drawing class on tuesday nights at my old high school as part of the adult education program.  Below are some of my sketches from my first class last night.

To get you started I'll do a tame sketch so you don't have this naked woman popping up on your computer screen before you read my blurb.  I notoriously don't like feet... not at all.  I think they are ugly and weird looking... but I have to say, that all night I was enjoying drawing feet.  The one above was my favorite.

This one is one of my favorites, I had a great angle to work with, BUT I went over my pencil lines w/conte crayon, and lost the whole "this took a lot of time" effect.  The conte crayon makes this 30 min sketch look quick and easy.

I got the worst angle in the house for this one (and i couldn't move to a better seat!)  She was facing me directly and her legs and right arm are foreshortened.  But I have to say I like how the legs turned out.

I really liked this pose too, but it was very easy.  I'm just happy I got a butt drawing in... for some odd reason i really wanted to draw a butt.  I think it goes back to a painting I saw at the MET two years ago... some naked fat guy in a pose similar to this one.

Just pencil

This is actually one of my favorite cartoons I sketched... I'm surprised at myself I didn't ink it.

THANK GOODNESS FEBRUARY IS OVERRRRRRRRR.  Spring is almost here!

Sketchy

I HAVE been cartooning... contrary to my spotty posting record.  In February I have ALL my cartoons at least sketched, if not inked.  March I can't say started out the same way... but I am in the middle of packing for a move.

Here are some sketched cartoons to hold you over for a few days!

Weekend Sketches

Ok so I missed Friday's sketching... you caught me.  But here is Saturday (left) and Sunday (right).  It's coming along slowly... I am definitely not at 30 minute sketches yet... these have been taking longer.  Maybe I have to stop picking hard things (like the back of the chair and the perspective of the coffee cup).

PS Last week's "Montana brochures" joke was a Brian Regan joke.

A Sketch a day...

So I decided to get back to basics and do some sketching... once I get back into the swing of things I'll aim for 10 or 30 minute sketches... until then I'm slow and awkward and this one took me awhile. (I'm so used to cartoons or abstract!!)

I REALLY want to do one sketch a day for 100 days. I am REALLY REALLY going to try to do this! I can spare 10 minutes right?! If I can't spare 10 minutes I need to rearrange my schedule, (maybe pick up some Montana brochures)

**Side Note** Whoever can tell me where the 'Montana brochures' joke is from will win a doodle print or card set or notebook of their choosing. Just comment on this post with your answer by Monday.

Logo Sketches

I was asked to make a logo for the Murray Center for Women in Technology for my old college, NJIT. Here are some of the sketches.

The adviser liked the top left one, so I have to make a few iterations of that one for next Tuesday. Stay tuned.

Ponte Vecchio

Ponte Vecchio, Florence, Italy
Marker on paper
2003

Ok... 2003... so this isn't exactly a recent work, but i unearthed it a few days ago, and it remains one of my favorite sketches. I worked on it during my lunch break YEARS ago when I was an intern at an architecture firm, Ford, Farewell, Mills and Gatsch Architects, LLC, in Princeton, New Jersey. I drew it on the back of a scrap piece of paper (plans to a project at the time). I used a picture as a reference... looking at it makes me want to travel the world!!! One day...

"The Ponte Vecchio is a bridge built of wood at this crossing point in 977 was destroyed by fire in 1117, and the next bridge collapsed in 1333. The current Ponte Vecchio is unique in appearance and dates from 1345. Lined with multi-story buildings, the stone bridge is famous for the jewelry stores on both sides of its walkway. Above the shops a long corridor crosses the bridge and links the Galleria degli Uffizi with the Palazzo Pitti, the palace turned museum."
