Hey thanks again for the comment up there! I will be doing some more vechicle sketches soon. Im doing some building constructions this week finally Loving the updates! As usual a real big pleasure to see your sketchbook! also, alot of fun and life in them. Awesome work! Cool Tats designs as well

[jon n]

Thanks Eleyon. I really enjoyed drawing those! It's nice to draw something different from time to time. Thanks.
Yogeshj25- Hi Yog, Thanks for dropping by matey.
Joe- Hows it going? look forward to seeing the new vehicle pics, thanks for the comments.

These pics show my current practice schedule. I'm very organised! I try to make three head drawings a day as well as a page of gesture drawings.
These are done quickly. I don't pay too much attention to proportion while doing this, I do it to keep drawing from my imagination flowing and
to try and get life and movement into my drawings. I also draw from animated films while watching them, this helps build an
amount of control over what i want to put down on the page. I also try to make one rough watercolour char sketch like the 'pandaverine' a
day.
I don't normally post this kind of stuff- especially the gesture and animation doodles as It's quite dull and probably not particularly helpful to anyone
but me. Non the less here it is. Someone out there may find it useful!

Ha ha ha ha I just love that last one with the 18 year old, my eldest boy is only 10 but he is already a trainee teenager so I can relate to that sentiment whole heartedly, love it mate "It'swell good!" as the younger generation up here in the cold and wet North of England say on a regular basis.

Kids are weird!! all the best matey and keep on posting.

p sage- the 18th card was a lot of fun to make, I used a neighbour as inspiration.
Gibi- thanks for dropping by, glad your liking my colours.
Hi Januz. That's always at the heart of what I'm trying to draw, I want my art to have life and energy. Thanks for the comment.
