the best offense is a good defense

so here's this:

...

also i've been drawing a lot of architecture. here's one from a couple weeks ago:

i used to post often. now i don't... stuffs been crazy. 

but thank you for looking.

bidness call

most of what i do these days is unnecessary:

bbm me, bro



here's some stuff

some animals drawings from my recent scans:

elephant

mop-dog

bulldog



i didn't actually see these birds. they live somewhere

that i'm not.

based loosely on a picture clipped from a magazine

that jordan and i kept on our fridge. it was from an article

about unlikely animal friendships. it was awesome. a pig

apparently nursed a baby tiger back to health...

thanks



fidget the cat

i cat-sat (cat-sitted?) for a little while. here is some

cat gestures as proof.

aeroplane

another day, another drawing.

hands

my hands. from some sketchbooks.

nicolaides knew what was up.

"A line in drawing is not meant simply to record how long or how wide a thing is. If it were it might as well been drawn with a rule. The important thing is for a line to say as much as possible of all that you know about the thing"

-Nicolaides (The Natural Way to Draw)

more scans

some more of the images i scanned from my sketchbooks over the last couple of weeks.

pages of quick gestures

i recently scanned a bunch of sketchbooks with a really good scanner. so i'll be posting more stuff when i get to it. for now, here's three pages of gestures that i compiled from

 4 or 5 of my most recent sketchbooks. been working a lot on simplification of the figure. thanks for looking.

Concerning zoos and David Attenborough and tiny mastadons

So i went to the LA zoo recently. Lots of animals and stuff. Also, i've been in the midst of

a "Planet Earth" kick. Which is awesome. So, i have a lot of animal drawings. Here are

some of them, with some people thrown in.

 Coati: a sad racoon/dog/bear.

A hornbill is like a toucan and a bump. i didn't see it try to fly, and

aerodynamics aren't on his side, so i'm assuming they're flightless...

Also, scientists discovered the remains of a new kind of miniature mammoth... Seriously.

And i wants me one.

Thanks for looking, i'll post more of the animal drawings that i did at some point.



Troop

My family's dog for the past decade and a half or so, a black-lab named "Trooper", died a couple of days ago. He was awesome. I had to do this from memory, so please forgive the injustices done to him...

 

...

I'll do another one if someone will send me a couple pictures.

Fresh new look...

...same old drawings.

cause it's been a minute, and i told a couple people i would

i took some pictures of stuff i had in my current sketchbooks. its mostly faces. with some birds thrown in there.

Also, most of these drawings were done with a sexy new marker i recieved for xmas. its all japanese and stuff. ginger: you should get one.

Also, i usually crop the photos down and turn up the contrast to try to compensate for the mediocrity of my camera. i didn't. it's the apathy.

 nothing demands respect like a good beard.

 ignore the hand drawings... i just like the drawin of the british guy ^

 long-eared owl and great grey owl. also, part of a burrowing owl...

 the rest of the aforementioned burrowing owl.
