Sketchy Memories
While cleaning up this morning, I stumbled across a few old sketchbooks of mine, so I thought it might be fun to share some random doodles I came upon flipping through them.
A half-way finished pencil sketch of Eva Green, from high school. My commitment issues manifest in all aspects of my life, obviously.
Who let the dogs out? I did. Apparently I drew this at some point during high school, though I have absolutely no recollection of it!
I vaguely remember this one: a study of a draped cloth done with both Sharpie and pencil (I marked each, in case it wasn’t apparent. Genius.)
Something I put a little more time into: a colored pencil portrait of Indian actress Aishwarya Rai. Faces were (and are) my favorite thing to draw. This was a project I did during my senior year of high school.
Some nudes. Figure drawing with live models is insanely fun. You get varying times for each pose – I think these were 30 seconds or so!
I have no explanation for this one.
This was a planning sketch I did in my first year of university, for a 10-foot tall mermaid portrait done in chalk pastel. I wish I had a photo of the final product handy to show you!
I used to love drawing, and I did it a lot. Nowadays I work almost entirely digitally, which is faster and more forgiving, but I do miss the tactile nature pen and paper allows. I might have to pick up a pencil and see if I’ve still got it one of these days!
Do you have a favorite hobby? x
