Some small things when I was out for coffee yesterday.

#sketches #sketchbook #traditionalsketches
A rough interpretation of an overhead security camera. On the bottom-right is a nervous expression of what I'll call for now on a doofus. Top left is a high angle of a coffee mug. Bottom is supposed to be a coffee bag on display. Middle right is the cafe sign, oh so well fitted into the page. Not really.

A sketch that got out of hand and built into something more.

A sporty-looking girl sitting between the ledges of two buildings listening to music, as a city looms in the background. The sketch was done using .03, .005 and .002 fine-tip pens and a series of alcohol markers.

Was looking through my references folders earlier for kicks. Found one that caught my eye; spent mid-day doing lighting practice. Thought I did pretty well, all things considered.
Model's name is Rachel Bradley.

A rough sketch of a pose copied from reference, primarily done as a sudden dramatic lighting practice session. The reference image in question.

Haven't posted anything in a bit. Wanted to draw something.

A rough interpretation of a Sony MZ-N910, roughly sketched with a .02 fine tip pen. A comparison shot of the sketch and the device itself. Includes a battery sidecar, used to extend battery life.

Was supposed to be an experiment for a new hair-drawing method. Got carried away and rendered it as an on/off illustration.
#art #digitalart #traditionalart #portrait
A head bust illustration of a woman looking downwards, adorning an amused expression. Her hair is long yet messy, becoming somewhat frazzled as it reaches the tip. The outline was done traditionally, using color/value adjustments to increase its contrast before being rendered digitally. The same illustration, prior to becoming scanned.

Random thought, but I'm debating on whether I should finally start interacting with this site for once. Been stuck here for a year or so lurkin' yet done fuck all except for liking posts.
Question is where should I start..

Feel like this Bluesky place has more unique artists than I have ever seen on Twitter or Instagram combined. Strangely reminds me of old-school DeviantArt, without the fetishes and fanfics.
Also, late to the welcome party, but hi. Normally a lurker, but occasionally I post sketches. Just not today.
