Inktober 2015 Begins

‘Inktober’ is such a fun and inspiring month! Sketches from the first few days - some from memory, some from imagination.

Sketchbook

Sketching while I watch SyFy’s ‘FaceOff’ season 9. It’s an interesting group this season! Can’t wait to draw more of the cast. A wise man once told me that you should "sketch anywhere and everywhere - even when you're watching something on TV." I didn't realize how important that was until just recently.

California Pt. 1

Sketches from San Francisco, the deYoung Museum and The Marriott Hotel in Burbank. The trip was wonderful and I saw SO much. Hope to post more in the next few days.

Life has been hectic... like it always is right before summer starts.
First and foremost I am so proud of my brother for graduating from Siena College last weekend. YAY.



Amidst the chaos of Easter, college graduations and work, I'm still trying my best to sketch everyday!
Here are a few:




If any of you don't know: I love my two dogs.
They bring endless joy and laughter to my life. They're also great models to sketch when they aren't pestering me or running around the house.
The drawings towards the bottom were done in a sketchbook made by my talented friend Gina Furnari. (Check out her wonderful etsy shop!)

Some recent stuff from my sketchbook while I was out in Burbank.

Jury Duty

I finally had to succumb to New York State's Law of attending jury duty at some point in your life. ::woohoo:: It was a strange yet, remarkably easy experience. I drove over an hour away to be given a number and put in a room full of other miserable Long Islanders. There were some odd types... I'm convinced I was the most normal person in there.

Three hours later, (40pages of Eat Love Pray, two sketches, one bathroom break and an apple) the judge decided no more jurors were needed and I was set free along with every other enthusiastic man and woman! It was an good day.

Vacation Illustrations

About every 5-10 years my extended family has a wonderful reunion that is set up... usually in the mid west/west. Past years have included ventures to Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri. But this year we traveled all the way out to Colorado and it was WONDERFUL!

As a way to keep us busy during traveling and down time, my dad and I collaborated on some drawings to narrate the trip.

Here they are:

Cruisin'

I recently got back from a wonderful Carnival Cruise vacation to the Bahamas. Between adventuring around the ship and frying like a tomato on the beaches, I was able to get a few sketches in.

The Magster

My muse... the lovely Maggie. <3

Pulling Teeth

Apparently, when you sign up to work at day camp they forget to show you the side note that says, by signing this you give up your soul to the devil. I have had very little time during the day to do ANYTHING. Between working with the kids, my online classes, volleyball and the gym I have produced very little, except a few sketches here and there... but thankfully that will change soon.

Honestly, the only time Maggie and Homer sit still is when they are sleeping...








I genuinely hate feet. I hate my feet, I hate other people's feet. Just gross. But I need practice so I doodled mine throughout last week.

IF - Craving

He craved those coins...

Went to the park earlier in the week.
Nice and sunny... unlike the past few days. Needless to say, I have been living the life of a hermit.





The passing children generously named the woman in the second sketch The Talking Bird Lady. From my view it looked as though she was chatting it up with the tree but I was definitely wrong about that one...

Hands, Hands, Hands

And so the sketching begins...

Really self-explanatory. Just a bunch of pen drawings of my left hand. I played with line and layers to see what would happen.

Whenever I'm bored and need something to draw, I always have my gnarly hands to fall back on.
