Another #morphology morning of sketching. Continuing my understanding of the relationship between the head and neck. Tracing the basic shapes and hardest outlines in coloured pencil, then building up detail work with mechanical pencil.

Another #morphology #sketch from a few days ago.

Francis not only has a deep passion for music - His good-nature leaves a strong impression. I've had the immense pleasure and privilege to work with him both on stage and in the studio. I'm confident this next project is going to be a very, very special one.

Francis is based in Vancouver and needs your help to see his work get over the finish line. The Indiegogo campaign will run from Sept 15-Oct 15 to fund production. Keep your eyes peeled for exclusive rewards!

Feeling a little “bleh” today. Decided to try an make some more morphological sketches. Not crazy about the results, but whatever.

Feeling exhausted today. Not helped by the heat. Keeping cool indoors and boosting my mood with more drawing.

Today’s study puts the throat in context with the head, neck, and chest. Interesting to see how either pieces relate and network via the muscles.

Last few weeks were busy. Forgot to upload a couple of sketches I made while killing some time at the mall. Not my favourites, but useful for getting familiar with the structure of the throat.

Alternatively, we could go the peanut-butter and chocolate route...

This, but it came out in 2007...

Morphology continues to be an enlightening, accessible way for me to learn about the human form. I’m less squeamish about it compared to reading medical texts, and the clinical approach really helps me dissolve and detach insecurities I’ve had about drawing bodies.

Rough start to this week. Trying to carve out some creative time in the mornings before the heatwave sets in again 🥵

Decided to try tracing to see if it might help me with getting used to proportions. Very helpful with identifying basic shapes. The paper diffuses the images on my iPad enough to avoid copying the finer details. Mostly anchors the strongest, darkest lines.

The past week has been busy and stressful. It’s been a struggle to wind down at night. I’m grateful I was able to break the cycle and shift back into habits that make me happy again.

Another solid workout! 🏋️ Noticed that I could go for more deadlift reps, so I doubled them per set from last time.

Still struggling with proportions, but enjoying the drawing process.

The heat today made it more difficult, but grateful I could get through a workout!

Some more drawing this morning. A couple more skulls, some eyes, but mainly focusing in on ears today.

Ears are tricky! So much more difficult to break down into simple geometry. A bit easier to think of as lines & blobs. I was reminded of learning how to draw treble clefs in elementary school 🎼

Since switching to Apple Music, I've been really excited to get back into DJ-ing. What I failed to remember is how much prep-work is involved when you're building a library from scratch! 🥵

Very grateful to be able to exercise my full routines again!
