warm-up

Warm-up sketch experiment. I let various music played on the ALL SONGS CONSIDERED 24/7 channel decide the direction of this. First I treated it as various shapes (like looking at clouds for something recognizable. Then I would tighten up what I eventually saw, letting the music help determine brush type, color, line weight and final theme.

quick digital warm-up

Q&D warm-up

a quick and dirty warm-up. Never got into drawing a lot of the "Bad Girls" when I was younger, but I figure I will give myself some practice at it for a bit.

On a side note, it's not till your not surrounded by friends that were ready to be life drawing models at the drop of a hat, that you miss it. I need some kind of artsy community around where I live *sigh*.

a post of warm ups

To get the blood flowing sometimes, I'll do a warm up sketch. As of late I've been doing really tiny self portraits... by tiny I mean on sample pieces of strathmore bristol, I was given, that is smaller than a trading card. Here's a few of them, enjoy.
