Moleskin pages

Coloring a second Homo Ferus illustration. It's starting out slowly but getting there. Much harder to figure out the lighting in this one compared to the first. In the mean time, here are some more pages from a new(er) sketchbook...
Left are some thumbs for an idea I'm working on at the moment. (You can see the page in my sketchbook in a photo from an earlier post!) It was for an illustration about the return to normalcy and the eventual great depression between the two wars. Graphite with inked tracing paper.
On the right is a quick sketch I did during the Society of Illustrators' sketch night this last Tuesday. Most of the time, I'll just hang out by the bar and do the crossword but every once and a while, I'll spot a pose I love and draw it in. This being one of them. That model is great too- love her hair.
One thing I tend to play around with in my sketchbook is design. Though I never find a way to incorporate it into my work, I love typography and play around with it as much as I can.
And this is what happens when I don't draw in pencil. Not a pretty sight. I hated it so much I had to either rip the page out or draw it again. An interesting before and after though.

Three-legged Wonder


"People are occastionally born with extra toes or fingers. Frank Lentini was born with a whole extra leg projecting from his back.
Frank always insisted that the extra limb didn't bother him in the least. However, he couldn't walk on it because it was too high up. 'But he could use it as a stool,' said Harry Lewiston, who worked with him in the circus. 'He was the only man I ever knew of who could sit down any time, any place, without bothering to drag up a chair.' The leg was functional to such a degree, Frank could even kick a ball with it, which provided a good tag for his part of the show." -Very Special People: The Struggles, Loves, and Triumphs of Human Oddities by Frederick Drimmer.
