LIVE from the Busch

This GUy was fun to draw. He had no Idea why people where laughing behind me
Tried some new things here, felt it went ok. But not exactly what i had wanted it to be.
Sometimes I shade in the hair on sketches to make them pop a bit more. Not very often though . This was different from what i usually draw so i like it.
Cute kid, but man, he really did not want to get drawn. Hence the sad face in the sketch .
I was quite pleased with this sketch. This guy really liked it also.
Sketch of Marlon. Theres another picture of him below somewhere also if you want to know what he looks like.
Me hard at work!
His girlfriend made him do it.
Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.
Thought this was funny. The mom didnt like it.
The parents and the son loved this sketch. I started off with a good idea in my head but its not what I had envisioned .
This was a demo. The guy told me i was messed up for drawing him like this. he Didnt let me take a picture of him to show you guys.

More workin!
Marilyn Monroe. Sorry Joe, I know i stole your red lips idea. Haha. Will you ever forgive me ?
And one more of me working

I just love my new Sketch Book -

Drew Some characters at Cicis pizza. Great Place to draw in Tampa!















Gorilla from Busch Gardens THese creatures are amazing. For the rest of my time her(a week and a half) I will be going to draw the animals at the park for my lunch hour. Youll see more pages of animals soon.




















Coffee shop art. I was jazzed up on coffee when i drew these so they arent that great, but oh well, you can see them anyways.

Lately I have been Brown Baggin it!!
I bought a scrap book at borders and it has great thick brown paper with a nice tooth to it. I have been doing some cool stuff in it. So i thought id let you in on my work. I have to put this book down for a bit so that i can finish my not so cool old sketch book. (11 pages left!!)
Peace out and Happy HOlidays yall!

Notorious BiG. Graphite and white charcoal. Finished at work in 1 - 2 hours. Dion Socia gave me a piece of this cool textured paper that i had to try and put to good use. It was definitely fun doing this rapper.

This is a drawing I did of Christopher Walken. The likeness is there but on the next drawing I do My focus will be on exxageration.



















This is a quick sketch of a Homie that I saw on the street. Thought it was funny enough to share.











The first is a drawing of an average skull. With the second i tried to stretch it out a bit. Ill post more of these later.



















This is my Beautiful 5 month old niece. Shes perrrrrdy. I cant believe im an uncle already. I guess its now my duty to spoil her.

Copic marker and color stix

THis is of Pope Benedict. Did this in the during the slow morning hours here at Busch Gardens.



















Dude has lips!














Simple sketch but i liked it a bit.















I liked the way the dad came out in this picture but am not really pleased with the girl. Oh well



















I did this as a Demo the girl didnt have any money but i still wanted to draw her. The face came out ok but im not please with the execution of the hair.

These sketches are very few from the past week that i have been somewhat pleased with. I am really trying to spend more time thinking and analyzing the faces that i draw. Sometimes its easy and i know what im going to draw before they even sit down and sometimes its hard and i have to look around me to find people to compare them to. Either way im trying to learn from every sketch i do.
