Moleskine - don't leave home without it

Shopping in Steinmart with the missus, the "man chair" can be a lonely place. So make sure to bring along your Moleskine. Hope everyone is having a GREAT Memorial Day weekend!

Dat

The Starbucks was empty yesterday evening, so we ended up drawing each other. Dat did a drawing of Henry and I sketched Dat. I was finally able to use my portable Aquash watercolor set from Pentel. Look for a review of this nifty piece of kit in the near future.

Today it's cartoons, and later, putting on my designers cap for a new home plan design.

Stay tooned.

First syndicate cartoon of the week

I got a kick out of Obama's heated command in regards to the oil leak in the Gulf. After yesterday's findings about The Minerals Management Services Department, I couldn't help but think he might be saying the same thing about them.

More Dr. Sketchy sketchy sketches

Here's another page from last week's event. Not sure how I missed this one. These were the quick 5 minute sketches, and I decided to put them all on the same page.

Anyway, enjoy. I've got one more longer pose to post later.

Stay tooned.

Another Dr. Sketchy Sketch

Here's another one from this past Wednesday's session. Thanks once again to Chris and the gang for making this one so enjoyable. Happy weekend everyone!

Dr. Sketchy gestures

The pace at these events is pretty quick. They start with 1 minute gestures, then a few 2 minute gestures, and then a five minute gesture, before you get to settle down into a longer 20 minute drawing. I happen to

like the fast pace at the beginning. It gets me really warmed up and not thinking too much - just drawing.

Here are my gestures from Wed. night. I'll try to put them in order of 1 minute to two minute. I've got a few more finished drawings to post later today. This was a really great event, and I hope that they keep it non-smoking in the future. Cheers, Ed

Dr. Sketchy Moleskine Teaser

Here's the first of my Moleskine sketches from last night's Dr. Sketchy blast. I really enjoyed the smoke-free environment and the hard work of the organizers. Oh, and the model wasn't too bad either! I'll post these as I get them scanned, but in the meantime, let me hear from you!

Cheers,

Ed

A few more Moleskine sketches

Here are a couple more various Moleskine sketches from hangin' out at local coffee shops and bookstores. I'm really looking forward to Dr. Sketchy's on Wednesday - one of my favorite models will be dressing up and stylin' in Jacksonville's most recent incarnation of a theme figure drawing session. OK, now it's time to do some cartooning!

Happy Week,

-Ed

Sunday Morning Figure Sketch

I managed to get these scanned early today, so here they are. I'll post a couple of the gestures along with the longer 20 minute poses. Jake was the model again this week - all in all a pretty good day of drawing. We've got Dr. Sketchy's this Wednesday, and they are promising a smoke-free environment, so I'm totally stoked.

I've got a couple of drawings from Starbucks and B&N that I'll post later. Let me hear from you!

Cheers,

Ed

Last syndicate toon of the week

Local beach toon

Here's one that I finished up today. I call it "5-bucked to death." They did drop the fee from $10 to $5, but when you're on a tight family budget it does tend to add up quickly. I just hope they don't all go down to my secret spot where it's still free to park at the beach. Shhhh...
