Moleskine 1

These are just a few sketches from my Moleskine. I tend to draw a lot while at work because it keeps me awake so I can pay better attention. I have other doodles in my notebook, but these two are, by far, my best.

I need to bust out Tom (my manikin) and start working on proportions (including neck size...) Also, I need to work on side and 3/4 view people, because straight on is all I'm decent at right now.

These are very rough and uninked, but I haven't posted in a while so I wanted to show you a bit of what I've been doing. (You can even see my eraser marks and how the paper has that traditional Moleskine tint.) The one major thing I have learned from these drawings is that it can take me hours to get something looking just right. Before I thought that my drawings had to be fast. I'm sure I'll GET faster, but as of right now, I'm just working on getting the drawings done satisfactorily.

Anyway, I'll post what I can as I finish.

Have a great Holiday (as you probably won't see much from me until after)!

This is an apollonian gasket that I doodled today. I also drew a Sierpinski triangle and a weird amalgam of the two (a large triangle with circles in it), but I don't know if I'm going to actually upload those.

I have two things now that I didn't have before:

1. An amazing new Moleskine sketchbook from a friend (which I will begin using tomorrow)

2. A scanner

I've given up on Illustrator. It's broken... again... and I really don't feel like fixing it this time. I'll find something else... eventually.

I'm not in the best of moods at the moment, and I have a lot of stuff to think about before I actually fall asleep, so I have to go.

PS Not keeping a normal schedule on the Internets does not mean I'm not drawing. I just couldn't really find a way to upload the stuff, but I have a scanner now so all is well on that front. Eventually, (ie when I feel like it/can) I will be attempting to keep a normal schedule. Until then, though, sporradic updates are all you are going to be getting.

PPS Did I mention my Moleskine is amazing? Because it is!
