I started using a brown paper sketchbook this week for the first time. It’s also been ages since I used Prisma markers. Its refreshing switching it up.
By the way, I made a video flip-through of my last sketchbook! Check it out…

My wife Amber was doing a memory sketch of an old man we saw at the movie theater while waiting in line. I decided to do several variations of him to try to push the design farther. I haven’t really done a lot of character design. I’m sure there’s a lot more to it. But I had fun at least. My favorites are the 4th one on the first page and the first one on the second page.
And of course I had to take a stab at ripping him up like a Spumco drawing. Poor guy.
I just really love sketching people in the wild. It really forces you to develop a vocabulary with creating characters. Both in attitude, and personality. When I would only sketch from my imagination, it was always frustrating to make characters look unique (and correct). I don’t feel I have that problem any longer. Here’s a few from this week…
These are some of my favorite sketches from the last week. These are actually each from a different place. I try to do at least one sketch when I go out in public. It helps keep me loose so that by the time I get back to the studio I don’t have to spend a couple hours getting warmed up to work.
