Really wished I finished the crow . . . or was it a raven?

Once in awhile I will get a spark, a random idea where I see the finished piece and have an absolute need to create and finish it in the moment. The one on the left was one of those moments. Everything from the pose, the color, the medium was just a “yes I must make that” moment.

What can I say here except its a nice collection of everything, good, bad, unfinished, I should try that again later.

Who loves perspective? It still causes my brain to buffer haha.

Continuing the sketchbook journey, the gin and tonic glass is when I said I’m going to make an effort to create objects for practice and actually finish them. Everyone’s sketchbook looks different, until recently mine was mostly empty with tons of pages of lines that could have been. Now I’m actively trying new ideas and things to practice. I have also learned that concert and sports photos are really good drawing challenges. :)

I like this collection, it has some of my funny thoughts, a little comic inking practice and the aliens drawing. The Aliens drawing I wanted to recreate some of the older comic book styles and focus less on drawing to exact reference. I still to this day down vote my own stuff because it doesn’t look like a reference and that’s silly. There is a sweet spot of having a reference and free drawing when your style/idea/art come to life. I’m still working on that :)

Its time for more sketchbook fun, the tree-scape was a painting I was trying to create on a dock when not once but twice it fell into the water. I wanted to keep inking it just to see how it would turn out and honestly it probably would have been a neat finished piece but I wasn’t exactly motivated on the finishing part.

A solid mix of new and old, the mushrooms were me wondering how pointillism with acrylic markers would be. Wasn’t a fan with this picture but I feel like it has a place with a different subject.
