Sketches

Mostly done with the 0.9mm Pentel GraphGear – not the expensive 1000 (which I hate) but the cheap 500 (which I love).

Drafting for measuring practice. Without the grid this rabbit was a chaotic post-nuclear freak. Even with the grid I was making obvious mistakes – “Your feet are small and petite – damn it!”
Jackrabbit

Goat – after Trudy Friend, the wonderful UK artist. Note the directional hair, and how the goat’s muzzle has some form and fatness.

And lastly for this post, The Interesting Lenin from Russian politics as opposed to The Useless Lennon from The Beatles.

I kept changing his eyes and he ended up looking petulant. Ha ha!

That little scribble on the drawing notes that I have the “measuring all off”, and that’s why the sketch sucks.
