The Mummy... a sketch

Was watching an awful TV movie from 1977 "Curse of the Black Widow" with my lovely  wife and decided to do a little study of a classic movie monster.  However, I don't recommend working in semi darkness with a small image on your smartphone while trying to keep up with a storyline.  Well, at least I'm not ashamed of this effort.

A couple new sketches

A group spearheaded by my pal Russ Walks are posting some hero sketches from the Covid 19 crisis.  I chose Capt. Brett Crozier of the United States Navy.  His stand for his sailors and the manner in which he has stood up in the face of political posturing is inspiring.  Truly a "True Blue" leader and one that we need more of these days.

John WIP

...er, Wick that is.

Late night doodle from my sketchbook.  Fun (so far) and would like to explore this a bit more.

Doodling in my sketchbook

Pencil study

The Stalker

Just a little sketch on toned paper. 

Another animal sketch

Grey on gray... Grey Wolf stalking in the snow.  This was fun as wolves usually are.

Exit the Sculptor

The worms eye view really is apparent here, with the over sized hand and the smaller head.  It was an interesting exercise.

study of The Sculptor's Hand

It's a hand.  Not much more to say 'bout this one.

Twist and hold

Lot's of mass and a bit too much heavy line work on the back and not enough solid work on the right shoulder and arm.

Little pen study

More of the sketchbook session.  I had a bit of a wormseye view which is always interesting.  I used a fine tip Sharpie marker for this particular drawing.  As immediate as I feel 10 minute charcoal drawings are using a pen in a sketchbook really shows what immediate is regarding a drawing.

Trying something different

I decided to just use my sketchbook last night and draw with pencil and pens.  Not sure how successful I was but it's kinda of freeing.  Here are the gestures.
