Weekly Sketch Dump the First

Well, I've decided to have a bit of a play with this blogging thing, thought I might start with a weekly peek inside my sketchbook. I'm always drawing, but a lot of stuff never makes it past the initial stages, mostly because I just don't have the time to put serious work into every image. So each weekend I'll be posting up a couple of my favourites. I'd love some feedback, so feel free to tell me what you think!

...incidentally, I never realised I had SOOOO many sketchbooks lying around. I've counted 20 so far, and there's doubtlessly more hanging around that I haven't unearthed yet. And this is just recent history; I purge my sketchbooks every time I realise how crappy my old work is. That said, I have a very bad habit of only having maybe five or six half-decent drawings per book the rest being scribbles that wouldn't make sense to anyone but me and even then it's a stretch :B

ANYWAY, getting back on topic: here's this weeks bunch!

Firstly, an oldie. I was at my mum's place by myself, bored out of my mind, so I whipped out the sketchbook. The problem was I had no idea what to draw; until my eye fell upon her statuette of a majestic bald eagle coming in for a landing. At first I thought I'd try for realism, but five seconds in my cracked sense of humor took over and... well... this is the inevitable result.

Just a cute sketch I did on the train quite a while back. . Not sure what's going on here, but it was a bit of fun animal practise.

Just so y'all know I'm not cheating and only posting up ancient stuff, here's one from last night. This guy started out as a pair of eyes and the rest of him just happened. Every now and then I like to do a picture that evolves organically and this guy did just that - I had no clue what I wanted, my only real interest was playing with bold lines. Ten minutes later and he was glaring at me and I couldn't be happier! :B

Well, that's all from me for tonight!
