Normal drawings again

I haven't had a lot of free time to draw. When I have had moments to draw, I've drawn little comics. So I haven't drawn any normal scribbs for awhile. These ink sketches take a short time to come into being, but inking them can take a while. I draw them as a source of practice. I try to make them visually interesting and I am a big fan of contrast. Using such cliche subject matter motivates me to make use of all the lines I draw. I would probably not include any of these scribbs in my portfolio. (By the way, I have misplaced my hi-res portfolio; I was going to put some up here.) I guess these drawings are like a guilty pleasure. I've also included an old sketch.

Scribb #31

I think this pose is really strange. I'm not sure how it made it this far.

Scribb #30

 HORSE! 
(Drawn during a phase in my life when I was deeply inspired by anatomy and the beauty of it)

Artists that I like

I have drawn over the past week or so, but nothing relevant to this blog. I decided to post several pieces of artwork of some of my favorite modern artists. I'm not going to write titles down because I don't know them.

ALEX GROSS:

I know this one is called "Premonition."

FRANZ ACKERMANN:

I know this first one is part of a mental map series which I had the pleasure of seeing at the SFMOMA.

PAUL MADONNA:

He writes comics for the SF Datebook, which are where these drawings are from. I don't find the text he includes with his drawings relevant, so I found some that didn't really have any. Anyway, he does really lovely sketches of SF.

Old and New

The first two are from my Drawing II Class. I have these online somewhere else, but these are hi-res versions.

I think this one is called Through the Broken Glass. I actually like this drawing.

Medium: Graphite and Colored Pencil

 The 400 

Medium: Pastel, Charcoal, Graphite

These next two are super old. Both were done on 5/25/2008.

 This one doesn't need a title. It's  just a view of South San Francisco on an actual street.

This is also untitled. I think this looks really awkward. 

 

 Scribb #29

Scribb #28

The color temperature is all messed up here.

 Scribb #27 - A new kind of hat.

This is my favorite of the bunch. I hope hats like this exist somewhere.
