Sketch Club FTW

I've been drawing tonight a bit in Jim's Sketch Club App. It's very fun! If you have an Ipad I recommend blowing the two bucks on it. Each of these took about half an hour. Not bad for no pressure sensitivity.

everything I drew this weekend

I draw A LOT more than I ever post. I hate the process of scanning images out of sketchbooks. Hate it. This is everything from this weekend, unedited except for a contrast balance and cleaning up the crummy grey seams in the middle of the sketchbook. Unedited life drawing is intimidating to show, but there you go.

Don't know how closely anyone out there follows this thing, but you may have noticed I don't draw so many creatures anymore. I've been trying to push at my weak points, people, landscapes, buuuuildings...yuck...
Though, I've actually liked the process so far. I have a long way to go, but drawing thumbnails, doing some life drawing, and making caricatures of people has become surprisingly invigorating and not as frustrating as I'd imagined. I want to stop saying, oh I don't draw that, I don't like those things. Learning can be a pain, but it also makes me more interested in things too, very cool. I'm so happy and lucky to have lots of teachers and motivated artists around me!

The life drawing from these images happened at the Gage's annual art jam, which is one of the coolest things ever. The second coolest thing ever is meeting people there and stumbling upon awesome artwork. I got to watch Peter draw a bit which was a fantastic experience.
