daily sketch #34 and #35

I like these two different head shapes, they're somewhat f a departure to my usual.

daily sketch # 34

This is actually a comission for an old freind of mine. He and his wife are about to welcome a new addition to thier family so this is in lue of that occasion. I'll show you what it looks like when it's all fantastic and painted.

daily sketch #33

i really liked this doodle, so i thought I 'd share it.

daily sketch #32

A Victorian seaside getaway. Well by sea-side I mean in-sea, and by getaway, I mean really away.

daily sketch #31

Was feeling blah today, did draw much or paint at all.

daily sketch #30

We ate at Steak n' Shake last night. Our waiter was a charming fellow, that bore a striking resemblance to a young Bill Nye. My wife thought other wise.

Anyway this is my vision of an elf-like waiter at a 50's diner.

daily sketch #28 and #29

This is the reason I didn't post last night. I was about to, but a big storm rolled through and knocked out our power.

daily sketch #27

I call it " freakishly skinny grocer with unconvincing comb-over yet stylish handle bar mustache"

daily sketch #26

He's a gamblin' man. I like the stool and the wainscoting. It's the little things.

daily sketch #25

A friendly forest tavern, where a weary traveler can find a pint of ale, a hearty meal and welcomed nights rest. I really want to do a painting of a place like this.

Contrary to popular belief I do occasionally draw environments, just not as often as people. I should work on it more though, broaden the old horizons and such.

This one took me about 53 minutes, I know because I was on the phone with my parents at the time and finished when I hung up. It said I'd been talking for 53 minutes, so I guess that's how long it took me. Hi Mom and Dad!

daily sketch #24

Beware beasts that bear their teeth

IF:Craving

What's this!? A still life, fine art posted on my blog for Illustration Friday?

Yes it is so, I was having a craving for Oranges and thought that my painting would fit nicely. I was also craving to tell everyone about my brand new ( well not so new) Daily Painting Blog, M.SCOTT IS DAILY PAINTING.

It's the radical fine art wing of my vast syndacate of art maddness. I've been doing the daily sketch here on my blog, and discovered that there are daily painters out there. I thought that I'd give it a try and so far so good. I probably won't do it every day, but I'll try.

Oh don't worry I'll still do my daily sketch.

That is all.

daily sketch #23

And now for something completely different. I know this is a departure from my normal fare for the daily sketch. I simply had not done a figure study in a while. I get rusty in my life drawing as everyone does. I remembered why I never draw in pencil though, I always smudge it up and I never get the dark values nthat I like, so next time it's pen and ink for me

daily sketch #22

My wife has been reading a lot about Celtic Mythology, so I guess this drawing was born out of that.

daily sketch #21

Another perfect day in Eden

Gilda and the Runes
