Female Faces…
By Jack in black and white, pencil, sketches, womenCharlize Theron, from the cover of a movie mag. I’ve been neglecting my blogging. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been drawing. Working on female faces here, trying to catch what’s special in a face that makes it a particular person. Easier to draw a generic face. But when you can’t get out to sketch real [...]

Women’s heads and profiles
By Jack in ballpoint pen, black and white, pencil, sketches, womenDrawing things from DVDs. Freezing it this time, rather than just going on impressions as the movie plays. A lot of work filling things in with pencil! This and the below are based on Sharon Stone from the beginning of Total Recall. And some random, imaginary profiles with my fine-line roller pen: Good night, all!

Pencil Portraits
By Jack in black and white, men, pencil, sketchesMahler I’m working on my portraiture chops, by drawing some faces out of an old “New York Times Book Review.” Tough to be technically good, and still contain a hint of personality. But that’s why we practice with these kinds of things, isn’t it? Young Orson Welles Hal Holbrook

Drawings of Thugs and Women
By Jack in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, pencil, sketches, watercolour, womenSorry, they’re not together. Some other time! The guy here is my trying to recapture impressions of this character I saw on the street, who could have been a thug ordered by Central Casting. Don’t think I caught the exact look of malice on his face which unsettled me, though! Women in pencil, and colour:

Slightly Random
By Jack in colour, men, pencil, sketches, watercolour, womenBusy as of late. I’ve been drawing things in the between times, but not really putting them up. Maybe it will even out, but I wonder. Anyhow, here are some more drawings and paintings. Some are sort of from life, some not. I’ll let you guess. The guy below, in pencil, is roughly inspired by [...]

Heroes and Ordinary People
By Jack in Animals, colour, dogs, men, pencil, watercolour, womenIn the brush drawing, I’m imagining Wonder Woman’s frumpier, older cousin. I always think that these glamourous types have relatives who are less impressive, and jealous of them. This is Cyrano de Bergerac. In one of his works, he built himself a pair of wings, and flew to the moon. Gotta love that Cyrano! Then, [...]

Pencil Stuff
By Jack in horses, men, pencil, sketchesI don’t know. A page of pencil drawings of things. UPDATE: I’m only now noticing that the horse has a bit but no bridle. It’s one of those special under-the -tongue bits.

Sick Boy
By Jack in men, pencil, sketches, visual art, ZombiesI’m sick and feeling sicker. Nonetheless working hard, and found time to draw this tonight, while watching a creepy TV program. I’ve got other stuff to post on something I did this week, but that will have to wait. Have a good night! Achoo!

Subways
By Jack in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, pencil, sketches, womenNot posting much, I’m afraid. But I’m getting into drawing while I’m waiting for the metro, as these sketches suggest. The first one, done a while ago, I don’t think I put up: The second one was just yesterday, after returning home from an event. What great worn out and diverse faces you can find [...]
