I spend more time indoors than I would care to, so as the weather warms up (and the sun stays out later), I will be taking my sketchbook outside. Lately I have been drawing every day, including quick drawings of random people I see, to practice gestural drawing. They are quick sketches done in ballpoint pen on whatever paper is handy. So far I have learned that I am not so good at ears, and that my powers of observation are slowly improving. Its been worth it.
One surprising outcome of my drawing every day is that my appetite for drawing is insatiable. Everything I see becomes just lines and shadows in my minds eye, and I play with it until I find my favorite angle. I am always eager to take pen to paper now, and no longer care if the outcome looks a mess.
For whatever reason, with each sketch, a new idea is born. Current projects include: FIN cartoons for March, April, and May; and a film poster for an upcoming documentary. This is a new thing for me, in that I have done some gig posters, but never one for a film. Its a larger format for me to learn, and I look forward to helping promote a movie.
