En Masse (Warm Ups Vol. 1.33)

Since I'm so far behind in posting daily sketches I decided I'd post more sketches than I usually do in a single update. I'm Including everything that I happen to have scanned at the moment. I've been pretty slacktastic in updating the blog the last couple of months. But on the bright side, I think the total skipped days of sketching.. is still under a dozen? maybe.

Keep the pencil on the paper!

New Books (Warm Ups Vol. 1.32)

I recently purchased a new sketchbook. I filled up my other one. I decided to stick with the cheap stuff (same paper weight and page count) but it's a different brand this go around. Speaking of purchasing books, I am feeling the need to expand my drawing book library. I'm kind of tired of my current collection. I want some new fresh material. Time to visit the amazon.

Insufficient Postage (Warm Ups Vol. 1.31)

I did some traveling a week ago. It was lots of good times. Time to own up though. I took my sketchpad and pencil with me but a few days it just didn't happen. I knew it was going to be difficult to hit my daily goal while on the road- and it was. In the words of the great philosopher Some-philosophy-guy, "Oh well."

This feels like a good checkpoint since I finally suffered my first lapse of drawing after close to 5 months. In general I feel like my skill has been improving. It also feels like I am improving at the speed of a glacier.. but that's still improvement! So that's good. Checkpoint complete!

Keep the pencil on the paper!

Tax Day (Warm Ups Vol. 1.27)

I want to wish everyone (at least every law abiding U.S. Citizen) a happy tax day... but, it's tax day. There's no happy in Tax. I probably wouldn't feel so bad about paying taxes if there wasn't so much waste involved with our so called government. See! See what tax day has done to me? Now I'm waxing political! And Chipotle doesn't even give out free burritos on tax day anymore! Here... I'll defer ranting with some arts.

Keep the pencil on the paper!
