I had an idea for this week’s Illustration Friday topic, but I think I bit off more than I can chew and ended up rushing the whole thing. I was so disappointed in it that I chose not to post it…maybe one day it will appear on my blog.

Right now I’m torn between many things I want to do in my spare time. Between Illustration Friday, weekly life drawings, and working on my character for personal animations, I’m hard-pressed to drop one of them because I love working on all. However, my professional goal is to become a better character animator, so my focus is going to shift towards Asher and my personal animation practices.

Just because I’ll be working on 3d animations doesn’t mean I’ll avoid sketching, though. Drawing is the most liberating thing for me, creatively, and I certainly don’t want to lose that. 😉 There will definitely be weekly posts of sketches, but they may or may not pertain to Illustration Friday.

Anyway, since I didn’t have a new illustration this week, I decided to post more life drawing sketches from the past few weeks. A couple in brush pen and one set of short poses in sanguine:

The model was definitely a superhero.

Getting on the right path using the brush pen, but I’m definitely still an amateur. Look at those wobbly lines! (Not to mention the proportions…)

My heavy hand gets me every time when I lay lines down with the brush pen. I also blame my impatience when I first start drawing the contours of the figure.
