Facebook profiles

So, a while ago a person did some quick pen sketches of everyone of his Facebook friends. Then not too long ago, a friend put up a profile pic that I really wanted to draw. This, and the lack of drawing I'd been doing recently, spurred me to try to do some small pencil drawings. I started at the top of my friend's list and am working my way through it. I decided not to limit myself to just drawing whatever the person has as their profile, some are quite faithful to a photo, some are more out of my head. Also, as they are meant to be quick, small, and essentially warmups... they're not all exactly gems. But I'll post a few of the ones I like on here as I progress, starting with these:

 

  

Subway it up

I've had a score of dental appointments recently. So a lot of opportunity to enjoy the subway...

Wedding (part 2)

Here's the final Illustrator file I sent to the letterpress, minus the text, for the wedding invitation (Eloise lended her Illustrator skills to creating the leaf pattern):And here's a scan of the invite after the letterpress did its thing:

Subway Sketching

Grabbed some awesome BBQ at Red Bones tonight. Got some sketching done on the subway on the way there...

Warming up again

Another warm-up portrait. Didn't turn out looking like the person unfortunately. But I like it as a drawing. So figured I'd share it.

Weddings

Currently working on a wedding invitation and a wedding portrait (unrelated weddings).

Here's a sneak peek of the portrait:



These are from the Save the Date that went out for the wedding invitation I'm working on now...

Is it Spring yet?

Quick sketch I did of Eloise getting ready to head out to her knit night.

Warming up

So my time/energy to get to any art has been sporadic at best over the last while. Consequence of that is most of what I then generate is... not my favorite.

I knew I had some arting I had to get done today, so I thought maybe warming up first couldn't hurt. So I did a quick self-portrait sketch. And surprise, it's the first thing I've done in a while that I actually like ha.

Riding the T

Sketches riding on the T...
*4/21 - Added in a couple I did on the way to the movie theater to see Hanna...

So many weddings

We've received some amazingly awesome Save the Dates from friends this year. My friend Jason asked that Eloise and I decorate the RSVP to his wedding before we sent it back. Unfortunately Eloise was too busy prepping for the Alumni Sale but I took her idea of a kitten air guitaring (Jason just won the San Diego Air Guitar Championship) and extrapolated it.
