In my "Drawing for Illustration" class with my amazing professor Don Seegmiller (see his amazingness here) we had to draw 200 pages worth of sketches, spending 30 minutes on each page. Subject matter was open to whatever we wanted, he just cared about the fact that we were drawing, and more importantly, having fun as we draw.
His only rules were this: We could NOT erase. He preferred us to draw with pen (I used both felt tip and ball point) or black prismacolor pencil. You'll see a mixture of both, as well as watercolor pencil. I only selected my favs to include in my blog.
My friend Stewart Craig showed me a really awesome tool using water color pencil and a little water brush that holds water in the handle and you squeeze it out as you draw, then smear the pencil around. You get great effects! Like this elephant! And dancy musketeer! And fishy! And racoon!
This was of my roommate at the time, in her normal daily position. Oh, and she's obsessed with zombies:
So I went to the midnight viewing of the first half of the 7th Harry Potter movie! I had to draw from the movie the next day! Here's a couple:
Santa Claus :) Inspired by my brother and niece.
