Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

Just another slice of what my day was like.  I spent most of the morning behind one of these Panasonic HD cameras, for a live broadcast we were doing at work.  Fun fact: just one of these things costs significantly more than any car I’ve ever owned.

As a side note: I was really uninspired to draw this evening, and even filled a sketchbook page with drawings I ended up hating.  They were quick pen drawings done while looking in the mirror (like yesterday’s), but of different facial expressions.  I was really bored and frustrated with them.  Then I sat down and got out different paper and some Copic markers (which I hadn’t used in about three weeks).  Switching up the style and tools made a huge difference.  Even though I made some frustrating mistakes on this one, I was ultimately much happier with it than the others, and had way more fun doing it.

I almost forgot to do a sketch today — but tragedy was averted at the last second with this two-minute self portrait.  Not very accurate, but certainly less creepy than the last one!

Another sketch from an Art Center drawing workshop.  I couldn’t really tell what to make of this pose.  Is this stress?  Contemplation?  Telekinesis?  If only his back weren’t turned!

This is part of an unfinished digital illustration assignment.  Yet to be added: serpent and upward-reaching woman.

Another very quick end-of-day doodle.  Just a little visual recap of some of the things I was working on today.

Oh, wait; I guess I already did better versions of a couple of these.

Spent this evening eating chili and kicking out the jams.  Before I knew it, it was late and I only had time for this 60-second sketch of some of my musical cohorts on invisible barstools.

This Art Center model obviously just woke up aboard the Nebuchadnezzar.

Lacking other inspiration, I once again grabbed a magazine to find something to sketch.  This is from a Chevron ad in the latest Wired.  Still not sure how it’s intended to get me to buy more expensive gasoline…

You used to be cool, Clock.  You used to, you know, work.  But now, it’s like you’re stuck in the past, man.  Like it’s 3:23 p.m. all over again.

What’s that you say?  Dead battery?  Lame, bro.  The clock I remember wouldn’t let a little thing like “a lack of any kind of functional power source” get in the way of our relationship.

Oh, who am I kidding?  I can’t stay mad at you, lil’ buddy!  New battery comin’ right up!

A red head drawing of a redhead model.  Seemed a good fit.  This is another quick sketch done at an Art Center workshop.
