A quick sketch from yet another figure drawing session. I had a bad angle on this particular pose, so I chose to focus on just the hand. It turned out okay, though I think it would benefit from some shading to push the more distant parts (index finger, top inside part of palm) a bit deeper into the page.

Stopped in at another figure drawing workshop. This guy was striking a sort of contemplative pose, which ended up looking a bit like blowing his nose into his hands…

I have failed you, loyal reader. Â Sure, I drew a cool, refreshing mai tai — but did I complete the pun hat trick by also sketching “my tie” and “muay thai?” Â I did not. Â And now it’s too late. Â I leave Hawaii in disgrace.

As long as we’re here, I’m sticking with the Hawaiian vacation theme.
I figured I would want another good memento sketch from this week, and nothing says idyllic, laid-back vacation like relaxing in a hammock. Â Seriously, as soon as I own two trees within ten feet of each other, I’m putting up one of these things.

A bit of a cheat here: the wind was moving the trees around too much, so I actually did this later the evening based on a picture in the hotel room. Â Lame, I know — but having that environmental control made it a lot easier.
As time investment goes, this is the opposite of yesterday’s sketch. Â Fortunately, this subject matter allows you to get away with a very quick and basic version. Â Simple as it is though, it’s cool too see how just a little variation in value can sell the dimensionality of the leaves.

Drawn poolside at the hotel — this was a fun one to do. Â And of course, vacation means you can spend an hour on a sketch if you want to…

On the beautiful island of Kauai this week for a little vacation.  On our first full day here, we went on a 12-mile hike around some of the state park areas in the northwest of the island.  This sketch was done at lunchtime, from an spot overlooking the north end of Waimea Canyon.  (For any other geography nerds, we were sitting right here.)

As part of the logo assignment from yesterday’s sketch, some of the other terms that came up were “tall,” “humor,” and “bike/scooter.” Â These are a few of the very basic exploratory sketches based on those notions. Â They also borrow heavily from my friend’s hilariously accurate description of me when I fold my 6’4″ frame onto my 125cc scooter: “You look like a trained bear on a tricycle.”
