Sketch a week.

With all the art I've been doing lately, I've tried to apply some skill practice in my idle time.  I don't get much idle time, but since I don't smoke anymore, I've replaced my smoke breaks with doodle breaks.

Here are the first two Sketches a Week.

1.  Oh God, the Moon: First one is from a photo I found on a website.  I tweaked the proportions quite a bit, focused on the eyes and distorted the nose a bit more to get what could be the first seconds of a Werewolf transformation.

2.  Sandman: Fans of Fox's Sleepy Hollow, a show I am suprised to say is actually pretty good, will recognize the Sandman.  As a fan of this genre, and a big fan of SciFi's Face Off I really find this character design compelling and yet simple.  I tried to capture the creepy-factor.

3. Sammy: Not a sketch of the week, but my daughter Sam, 6, who loves to draw herself, has been watching me draw the 'smooky' stuff.  She informed me tonight that I need to get her a picture to use for some homework that is due tomorrow.  Mom didn't want to give up any of the cuteness we have on the walls, so when Sam turned to me and asked if I would draw it, I couldn't refuse.  Funny thing is, she doesn't think it looks like her....  and I thought I was hard on myself.
