Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

Yuck — don’t like this at all.  I got a digital illustration class assignment to create some sort of isometric world.  Thought I’d do something with a city settlement on Mars.  So I created these buildings, kind of inspired by a couple of reference photos, but they just both ended up looking like hideous, drab, public museum architecture of the late 1970s.  In fact, I realized one of them looks very similar to this previous sketch of the El Paso Science Musuem.   Quick Google search: that museum opened in…wait for it…1980.

Suffice it to say there is some re-imagining to be done.

Been thinking a lot about my 365 project today. I’m really enjoying this, and am almost a quarter of the way finished already.  If you’re not doing a daily (or weekly) creative project yourself, please think about starting one!

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.

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

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.

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!”
