A quicker, quick sketch

When I realized that I was putting out much better figure drawings in pen than in charcoal, someone suggested I try using a grey art marker to do tones and any underdrawing, so that the drawing didn't become any more of a mess of black lines than it needed to be.

Usually I would take a drawing like this and then go in and accentuate the final form with a black pen. For some reason I didn't do that with this one. I don't remember if I just lost interest or if I was just happy with it the way it was. Flipping through my sketchbook now, I do like this as is.

I found more drawings of this guy. Something about him must have inspired me because if you were to page through this part of my sketchbook, my drawings of him are all pretty good, but the ones of the model, well, not so much.

I wanna go back to my little grass shack...

I painted this a few years ago for a kids music video that was going to have kids bluescreened onto this background. Kind of fun to do since I had very few parameters.
