Three Tuesday Sketches for the Price of One
Jul20
That’s right, three sketches for the price of one. And since you get to read Hellcats for free, you have to admit that’s a hell of a deal.
Actually, I was planning on not doing the Tuesday sketch this week. I have a lot of work to do on the comics for Thursday and Max is going on vacation so I have to do Saturday’s Hellcat Cosmos as well. But after my daily workout today I was in ore of a mood to sketch than I was to color, so I decided to give it a shot.
As always, I’m glad I did.
I always like to give myself different challenges for the Tuesday Sketch. The first week I did my Wonder Woman sketch entirely on computer. The second week, I decided to draw with graphite sticks. This week, the theme was “Favorite Literary Characters.” I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to do, so I decided to do three. And I was going to draw three different sketches, I figured I’d have to quick sketch them all.
It’s actually really good practice. When you quick sketch, you have to learn to not care as much about technical precision. I gave myself about 10-15 minutes for each sketch and was watching TV while I did them so as to not pay too much attention. It was all gesture based and just getting the idea down on paper. I used graphite sticks again because I love them so much, even though I didn’t do as much blending and such as I did the first time I used them.
In any case, here are the sketches. I have a great love for mythology and folklore. As such the literary characters I chose all came from classical fiction. Let me know what you think. As always, click the any of the images to see a larger version of them.
