March is Sketchbook Month...Day 12& 13


I did these drawings of Matt Smith as Doctor Who last night just before and after midnight so they count as my March 12th & 13th Sketchbook Month entries.
Mr. Smith has such an interesting face that even if I did a straight portrait of him, it would likely feel like a caricature.

March is Sketchbook Month...Day 10 & 11

Sorry for the late update, but I was upgrading my operating system over the weekend, and my scanner was offline until I could get a new driver.
Anyway, here are photos of my weekend sketches. The one on the left is a scribble Jennifer Lawrence from "Winter's Bone". She's playing Katniss in the soon-to-be-released "The Hunger Games". And honestly, this drawing doesn't look anything like her.
And on the right is Jonathan Pryce in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

It was an odd mix of TV over the weekend.

March is Sketchbook Month...Day 9

Stayed up late last night watching Doctor Who reruns. Penciled this in bed, and inked it this afternoon. From an episode called "Planet of the Ood".
I love how the evil business Tycoons (played here by Tim McInnerny) still wear suits in the 44th century.

March is Sketchbook Month...Day 8

I wasn't even going to draw on this Netfilx envelope. I told myself to just take it to the mailbox...just take it to the mailbox! Then I saw a Sharpie.

It's not even a dinosaur movie. It's an old Cary Grant-Irene Dunne romantic comedy.

March is Sketchbook Month...Day 7

Sketching on my iPad this evening. Rough, but fun.

March is Sketchbook Month...Day 6


Yes, this is a late entry. I drew this yesterday, but I wasn't at my computer. I photographed it with my phone, but I can't upload photos to Blogger with it. I can upload to Facebook and Instagram (or Twitter, if I had an account), but not my blog. I guess blogs are too old fashioned now.

Anyway, this is Freema Agyeman who played Martha Jones on Doctor Who. I drew her from memory with my Pentel Brush pen in my Moleskine.

March is Sketchbook Month...Day 5

Saw this guy in the grocery last night. Came home and did a gesture study.

March is Sketchbook Month...Day 4

I was watching Doctor Who and drew a side character, a headmaster at a school. But I think he ended up looking more like Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad".

Here's the line work. I think I like it better this way:
