Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

He’s supercreepayyy!!

Yeah, so this was a hilariously failed experiment.  Without a doubt the worst thing I’ve done.  Oh actually, no.  The version that immediately preceded this one was possibly even creepier.

Anyway, I figured out several causes of problems:
– eyes too big and too far apart
– face not long enough
– too many line strokes intended to refine eye shape just end up looking like eyeliner
– perhaps most problematically: drew it one half at a time without really stepping back often enough to see how the whole thing was coming together.

Yeah, so this will definitely have to be a redo later on in the year.  Oh, and sorry for haunting your dreams tonight.

Had just a few minutes to sketch before happy hour.  This is the Borders bookstore in Glendale (shown here at night).

It’s been a while since I did any figure drawing, and I really need practice.  Also, I really needed something quick to sketch tonight after a long day.  These are just from various photos we have on the wall at home.

Need to start doing this earlier so I’m not so tired.  This is something I started for a class assignment this week — maybe I can post the finished product if it turns out all right.

Now available in Hyrule Market for only 1000 rupees!

(Couldn’t resist this one after Sketch #62.)

Finished a long day of work without much energy left for drawing, so I just grabbed a bread knife for a simple sketch.  I definitely overdid it on the serrations though; this thing looks like it could cut bone.

This thing is 20 years old this year!

This was a fun set, if a little messy.  I did all of these as one-inch squares, which — surprise, surprise — turns out to be kind of limiting.  It’s a bit tricky fitting 70 or so people onto a one-inch Sgt. Pepper’s cover.

I also used a prisma pencil, which means I couldn’t erase anything.  So of course there are several things I wish I could change.  But hey, it’s only sketching.

A great thrift store find from several years back.  This fan-driven wonder emits an unholy honk with every key (after a split-second delay, of course).  Or if you listen to the manufacturers:

“Everyone wants a turn when you have a GE Electric Chord Organ in the house! Color-coded music book comes with it. It’ll have you playing chords and melodies in no time at all! Pleasant start to a musical education…for everyone!”

This is one of my wife’s skates that she occasionally teaches history in.  Yep.

I went with it since I haven’t got much mileage out of my red Copic markers yet.  Must find more objects that are Salmon Red, Lipstick Orange, and Cadmium Red.  If you think of any, be sure to let me know.
