so after spending the last couple of days fawning over sketches by noel sickles and martin redmond i'd come to question my own lazy drawing habits. like alan tew i grew up with "how to draw comics the marvel way" burnt into my drawing habits. so this sketch was motivated by the meditation of seeing through the jumble and sketching with simplicity. i tried to use as few lines as i could to indicate forms, and focused more on values and shapes. the sneakers and slippers were warm-ups to the bigger sketch. overall i was impressed by my ability to place things well by eyeballing it.


when i was done i took pics of the things i sketched in as close as i could get to my original vantage point.



the following day i tried to do an ink sketch of the same table. eventually i got really lazy--but this gave me a little more hope at being able to duplicate something like nabiel kanan's exit. the way the bag in the middle under the table got vertically stretched just goes to show how i tend to draw bigger to create more detail. it kind or reminds me of this guy's stuff


well, now that my art-suckage is exposed like dog nuts i'll go cower in the corner and sketch some more.
