Bus Drawings

A couple line drawings of people on the bus. I don’t think either of them caught me drawing them. That is to say, I didn’t ask their permission.

Sleeping & Listening

Monday, May 18th, 2009 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

Two relatively quick sketches. Not gestural, by any means, but without the careful hemming and hawing that can go into a “serious” drawing. This also means they’re free from some of the baggage longer-term drawings carry. Good times!

Spampost

Saturday, May 16th, 2009 | Drawings, SteveMack | 1 Comment

Bunch of miscellaneous things that were done between 0 and 3 weeks ago, but never posted. Mostly because of a killer work project I just finished up on. But also partly because I just didn’t really want to post them. But Felix is annoyed enough, so, here you go. My time addition is completely estimated, given that a bunch of separate and random doodles is difficult to quantify.

Pasture Drawings

Saturday, May 16th, 2009 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

We were out at the barn for about five hours today, and it was a prime day for drawing outdoors. Truly sunny and warm, enough that I think I got a bit of a sunburn. I didn’t do five hours of drawing, sadly, since my pencil eventually got too dull to use. I was productive, though, and did some decent sketches. One of these days I’ll figure out how to draw a horse’s face. That’s still a mystery to me, as you’ll see with some of my interesting results.

Chopping Potatoes

A relatively quick drawing while she was chopping potatoes for a pot pie. The face is a bit strange, partly because I never get the face quite right and partly because she kept moving.

Friend, Grandma & Mules Grazing

Monday, May 11th, 2009 | Abstract, Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

The first drawing is an attempt to draw a friend of mine. The second is an abstract drawing I drew on my way to the interring of my grandmother who recently passed. The last is a very quick attempt to capture the essence of mules grazing. I don’t consider the sketch a success.
