day 963 B This file is named day 963 B.jpg. ok, this is where i ended up. i widened the face alone by 10% and then widened the hat as well to suit my tastes. i also changed the pupils of the eyes. i think it looks more like the reference photo now.

Flapper (wip) Day 980 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo another bobster parking lot gesture sketch in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil on Pacon 9x12 Marker Pad. the gesture took about 15 or 20 minutes which seems quick even to "speed racer" bobby. ;-) she was a good bit of fun to draw, though she has some strong features that were (for me at least) not that easy to capture. then i inked it with a Parker 45 M stub fountain pen and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink, used an 8B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite for darker areas. smudged with a chamois.

day 995 This file is named day 995.jpg. Flyboy Day 995 daily drawing challenge reference photo a bedtime drawing in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12. he was harder to get proportioned than he looked like he was gonna be, harder to draw than the buildings in the foreground. i am having fun doing these though, each one teaches me something. can you read the name on the building to the right? it's obviously a government building... ;-)
day 996 ink mod This file is named day 996 ink mod.jpg. Tanzanian man [mod] Day 996 daily drawing challenge reference photo this started out as another bedtime drawing. this was originally done in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil inked with a Waterman F nib fountain pen using Parker Super Quink permanent black ink on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12. he was fun to draw. BUT! i didn't think i got decent proportions on the original, so this version is 9x14 with some further adjustments to the body dimensions. so he is taller, but not just stretched. ;-) photoshop mods.

day 1011 silver surfer A This file is named day 1011 silver surfer A.jpg.

day 1017 This file is named day 1017.jpg. this is a scan of the drawing, you can see it could use more contrasts, ie darker areas
day 1018 This file is named day 1018.jpg. Claudia Cardinale Day 1018 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo a bedtime sketch with a pink dayglo pencil and inked it with a Parker 45 stub nib using Parker Super Quink permanent black ink, colored with a "gold" colored pencil and some dayglo colors on 9x12 Pacon Art1st Drawing paper.
day 1023 This file is named day 1023.jpg. Wow. New discovery all over again. Eagle Charco pencils and Eberhard Faber Koal-Black charcoal pencils. I drew a gesture sketch with a Wolff's B Carbon Drawing pencil and then used a 4B Koal-Blak to accentuate the linework. Colored this a bit with some dayglo pencils. All on yellow construction paper (Pacon) 9x12. this is a scan of the drawing
day 1024 This file is named day 1024.jpg. Elk Day 1024 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo more different. this is a bedtime sketch i finished today, done with Conte No3 Black Drawing pencil and charcoal pencils in 4B and 6B, and pastels, PITT pastel pencils in browns and black and some gray sticks, touch of greens. all on a 9x12 sheet of blue cardstock. eye catchlights are Bic witeout correction fluid. this is my first pastel piece in quite a long time and it was fun. kind of cartoonish but that's what i do. lol.
day 1025 This file is named day 1025.jpg. Fashion Jester Day 1025 daily drawing challenge reference photo this is a high res scan, previously posted a cellphone photo. A bedtime drawing. I drew the body with 2B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite and inked it with a Waterman F nib fountain pen and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink. Then i colored the outfit with Sanford's Design Ebony pencil and a Prismacolor scarlet red pencil and a charcoal pencil, smudged with a tortillon. Then i added her face with a Wolff's BB Carbon pencil, inked that with the Waterman FP, and used the scarlet red Prismacolor pencil again. Finally blended it all with a Prismacolor "Blender" pencil and a piece of chamois. the whites of her eyes are done with Conte White Extra Fine Drawing pencil. Added the border motif with Prismacolor pencils. this is on the "wrong side" of a 9x12 sheet of Pacon Art1st Drawing paper. some of these tools i haven't used in a long time so it's like rediscovering joy. one of our friends observed that nobody could have legs as long as those on the model. i am just glad i got them to fit on the paper. ;-)
day 1027 This file is named day 1027.jpg. Tortoise study day 1027 daily drawing challenge reference photo this was a bedtime experiment. i am playing with this gray construction paper, 9x12 Pacon Art1st. but what i tried here was to use Conte No3 Extra Fine Drawing pencil in black and some Conte No3 white drawing crayon followed with PITT pastel pencils in browns. the conte and the pastels are quite different, the conte being waxy, so applying pastels over them doesn't smear them and they reduce the pastel's coverage, how much sticks. smudged it all with a tortillon and then chamois. finally redrew most of my outlines with a Koal-Black charcoal pencil, and a touch to the deeper shadows. the catchlights are homage to my comic book form.
day 1028 india This file is named day 1028 india.jpg. Tomb Raider (wip continued) day 1028 daily drawing challenge reference photo ok, i reinked my fountain pen linework with a No2 rapidograph and speedball super black india ink. smudged a bit more using a tortillon.
day 1028 This file is named day 1028.jpg. Tomb Raider (wip) day 1028 daily drawing challenge reference photo this scan was another bedtime sketch. 2B 0.5mm mech pencil inked partially with a Parker 45 F nib fountain pen and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink then some toning with Prismacolor white pencil and a touch of pink and some browns, along with Sanford's Design Ebony black pencil all on a sheet of 9x12 red cardstock. note that the ink isn't as prominent over the pencil on this medium. i am thinking i need to clean my rapidographs again, throw down some india. that would be BLACK. i am not sure why i drew this on red except i wanted to see what i could get. anyway, here she is so far...
day 1029 comp This file is named day 1029 comp.jpg. Colonel Sansom was the commander of a five chopper squadron of Hornets, two man attack helicopters. The military life wasn't easy, but the meds were good and the psychotropics almost suppressed the realities of the job. Sansom had some of the latest nanonet technology wired throughout her cortex and when she was in the bird, she became part of it. As squadron commander Sansom was also virtually a part of the other birds and their crews. One big happy predator and a talented hunter-killer. day 1029 and day 347 daily drawing challenge reference photos. playing with my ink drawing of the figure for day 1029 in photoshop. the choppers are my version of the day 347 reference. used some slightly modified clipart for her insignia. i was thinking it might make a good opening panel for a graphic story about the colonel and the choppers and the world they live in.
day 1031 smudge This file is named day 1031 smudge.jpg. RIP Harry Dean Stanton (wip, part 2) day 1031 daily drawing challenge reference photo and a photo of his cap from "Alien". Assistant Engineer Samuel Brett (ID 724/R4-06J) 2069-2122 "Suffered minor brain damage during a cerebral detox procedure." in the movie he meets his end by the alien, but i used the reference photo where he was a good bit older and i gave him his cap back. so it's an age progression for samuel brett had he lived. ;-) let's call it "reflections on the xenomorph". this was a bedtime sketch day ago, No.2 Conte Extra Fine Drawing Pencil on Pacon Art1st Drawing Paper 9x12. last night at bedtime i added his hand holding one of his home-rolled cigs and the jacket and shirt from Alien. still thinking to ink this with india ink and rapidographs. so the Conte pencil does not erase very well on this paper, even using an electric eraser,
