Scarlett




This was a real pleasure to draw. To contemplate beauty and to capture, "The Elegant Truth," is why I love to draw. Hopefully I did her justice.

Gecko!





I'm trying out a new technique. Expect it to stick around for a while. This page took 1 hour, but I didn't do a very good job planning out the page! Poor little guy on the upper left is missing half his face!

Jim Clark



He never intended to make racing a way of life, let alone become the best in the world in a sport that for him began as farm boy's hobby. And when the sport took Jim Clark's life the racing world mourned the loss of one of its best-loved champions, the unassuming Scottish driving genius whose personal integrity and admirable human qualities endeared him to fans and rivals alike. Nearly invincible in the car, he seemed vulnerable out of it and was always a reluctant hero. Few champions were as dominant. Fewer still are remembered so fondly.

It's not just that the fact that you won, but it's how you won. Will your peers remember you with fondness? Are the people around you better because they had you in their lives?

This is the mark of a real champion.

Hand Sketches Marathon


I'm continuing with the hands series. Now I'm trying to draw them in more complex/ foreshortened poses. These are drawn from a combination of photo reference and imagination. I'm going to try and focus on drawing hands interacting with products from now on versus just hands.

Take a look and let me know what you think in the comments section.

Keep sketching!
