Male Underwear Model

Older sketch of a guy in boxer briefs. This is from an underwear ad. I don’t have a male model hanging around here, willing to pose in his undies so I can sketch him.

I *may* have overdone the shading a bit.

(Captain) Sam Carter

Carter’s rank was still captain at this point. This (older) sketch was done using a liquid graphite pencil called Ingenuity, made by Papermate. It’s like drawing with a pencil that feels like a ballpoint pen. Definitely an interesting experience.

I don’t know if these “pencils” are still being made. I do know that I have 6 spare refills in addition to the two that came in the two “pencils” I have.

Stevie Ray Vaughan Pencil Sketch

This is the start of me trying to update this blog with a ton of unposted sketches. A ton.
This is an older pencil sketch of SRV. I love his music. His performance on the Live at the El Mocambo DVD is unreal.

Some of my sketching tools

Waterbrush, Derwent HB water soluble sketching pencil, Pitt artist pen (sepia),  Berol RapiDesign .5 mm mechanical pencil.

My left hand — yet again

Since the first two tries didn’t quite work out, I decided to try it in pencil. But I think I’ve figured out what I did wrong, so there will probably be another one of these in the near future. Be afraid. Be very afraid…

Jeff, take two

Took a couple of tries to get his eyes right, then everything else sorta fell into place.

They don’t always go the way you want

The face came out too fat, the shading is all wrong. When I realized it wasn’t going quite right, I tried to fix it, but that doesn’t always work.
