Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Yikes! Has it really been that long since i've posted something here? Sheesh!
Too much happening it seems, but also nothing at the same time. It's been a funky month. But since I threw my back out on the Fourth of July, I guess I've got some time to switch it up. No new sketches, but here's an oldie i found shoved deep down in the ol' hard drive.
I remember doing this one at work a while back while I was still at the framing shop. We'd use the brown craft paper as backing on a lot of finished framing work. I, on the other hand, used it as a distraction from doing my job.
It wasn't the best material for drawing on. It's kind of coarse, inks will bleed, and it has this thin funky kind of wax coating that didn't always take graphite real well and smeared when trying to erase. Still, I take what I can get, and It's always fun to do drawings on a toned surface like this. You can make a sharp lookin final drawing in half the time, and in terms of sketching, helps to quickly and easily play with and define your lighting and light sources. A very beneficial way to work. I really need to look into getting a sketchbook like this.
Now, If only I could buy some motivation and inspiration to actually use it, and not just say I'm gonna. Guess I'll keep checking those Sunday ads. BJ's usually runs a 2-for-1 on inspiration, right?

Pattern Play
Just had to post something since it's been a little while since the last one. This is a drawing done at work fairly recently I quite like, partly inspired by the fanciful mind at www.thelandbetweensolarsystems.com
Very beautiful work. Check it out!

Sloppy Studies
I was just re-designing and editing the blog a bit and while searching for images to design a nifty little header I stumbled across a few fun studies I had forgot about I thought I might share. Those of you who might be familiar with my Deviant Art page (www.evjones.deviantart.com), will find that these are nothing really new, but there's still a freshness in these I still quite enjoy. I may have to try to get into a little more watercolor and ink fun soon.
