Sketch Fest 3

Here are a couple of recent scribbles from my current sketchbook:

Divas • 11/08/11 • Pencil & Ink

I loved the composition of this New York Times photo and the singers' facial expressions. I didn't quite capture the exuberant feel of Ruth Fremson's dynamic shot, but it was a satisfying exercise.

Scott Thompson • 12/01/11 • Ink & Colored Pencil

As an experiment, I made this caricature of the comedian known as Carrot Top strictly from memory. Later, I ran an image search and discovered that the drawing should have been much more grotesque. Live and learn!

These drawings were both made without undergoing plastic surgery or using anabolic steroids.
