Headed for Halloween, Done

A few more refinements, including shrinking his leg down to be more proportionate. And he's already garnering a ton of likes on IG!

Headed for Halloween 2

I decided to get rid of the onlooker and just concentrated on the seated guy that I've dubbed Mr.Pumpkin Spicy. I thought I might get away with drawing from memory but it looked like I really did need a reference, and thankfully Ernesto came through again for me. I would never have thought his knees would have done that!

Ben's Pose

I have a new freelance client who wanted me to just draw a fave photo of his boyfriend, so I got permission from the photographer to make it and here's the firs draft.

Noodly

I was getting tired of that face and not finding any joy with him, so I went for a body...

Doodly Dude 3

I am really not finidn the sweet spot with his facve—there's always something I need to fix! Ugh.

T-Shirt Flat

Just practicing my tee shirt flats in Illustrator, for my upcoming classes. It's not my style of drawing but these things are still drawings, so voila, this day's entry!

4A's 40th tee 2

I refined some bits like her hair, legs and the shirt shading...

New Gym Crush

I saw a new guy at my gym today and he had a moustache and big 70s glasses and the kind of lean physique I seem to be attracted to.  But what intrigued me the most was how his triceps and biceps looked from behind, when he was resting between sets.

Tee Shirt Flats

I made some sample flats in Illustrator to show my kids in class tomorrow how to do them. Flats are clothing that is exactly that—flat-looking, like you have them spread out—flat—on a surface.

4A's 40th tee

My high school class is celebrating its 40th anniversary since we graduated, and pics of my high school class in custom made polo shirts left much to be desired. The shirts looked like they were white polos that they then wore a blue bustier dress over. So I did a fashion sketch to that effect.

Doodley Dude 2

His face keeps evolviing, and I like how it feels more real to me as aI 'carve' him into being. It feels like carving, like those toys I saw in the Sears Christmas Wishbook 1965 edition, where statues embedded in soft plaster blocks would reveal themselves as you chipped away at the blocks to revel "your" sculpture underneath!

Doodley Dude

An online retailer was pushing a gigantic fleece as some sort of street fur puffy and I thought it made a nice enough portrait collar for a menswear sketch.

IWNSTB Cover 5

Working on this cover and realizing I need to edit it from the views it will be seen, most notably as a cover on a shel without teh entire spread shown. So a little cleaning up, enlarging the hidden husband's hand since it was so tiny (and probably need to upo it a tad more) and starting to clean up the line work...

(Not So) Sore Neck, Done

 

Well, done is better than perfect. And I just need to get this out now...

(Not So) Sore Neck 3

I didn't like his ass, the shape wasn't right, then I realized I needed to adjust his overall proportions.

(Not So) Sore Neck 2

I thought I'd pick this drawing up again and finalize it for use in instagram. I've ben so busy with work I haven't been drawing as much as I would like. 

White Briefs 4

I saw a print online whose colors I thought Id try out in this composition. Enh, no so much, although I did also try a different hand position.

White Briefs 3

 

More noodling around with this guy...

White Briefs 2

I liked the face I did yesterday but part of my process its to redraw it over and over, just noodling with the features until I get a guy I like. It's not that any of them are bad, but eventually one comes up that feels right. Although this one's head might be too small now...

White Briefs

My mummy-esque drawing earlier this past week is getting nonstop likes on Instagram, and it's actually surprising me how popular it is. This was just me putting marks to paper to see what sticks. Doodling, essentially.
