Starting a new year with more figure drawing

Starting the year back with a new sketchbook and a desire to get back into the swing of figure drawing again.  First Step, start drawing, (started).  Step 2 get back into live figure drawing sessions (starting this Sunday)... after several years away this could be rough for a few months until I get back into the swing of things.  As always, thanks for stopping by. -db 

Doodle United: Fairies vs. Goblins

For the Doodle United page. 05/18/2014 -the topic:  Fairies vs. Goblins.  The directions... Draw a or some fairies, and or some Goblins.... The web page leads will tally up the totals to see who is more popular to draw for this group.  Ugly is much easier than pretty... I chose goblins.   Go and check out the results, probably late Monday the 19th. https://www.facebook.com/DoodleUnited

a couple of sketches from Crypticon KC

 attended the first KC Crypticon... a horror convention. Very small and intimate, but folks were able to converse with a few hollywood horror actors... and one or two pro make-up people.  Have to say that sometimes the attendees were more interesting than the paid guests. I hope it grows, it was way too pricy for what was delivered, but it was the first year... and I got spoiled by Spectrum Art Live earlier in the year.  Perhaps just a different set of tastes.

ponytail scribble.
broke out the baby scratchboards. tiny little. fun to play with and no repercussions. Just fun and practice.

page from the sketchbook... a friend from work (thanks Patti) gave me some acid free kraft paper for my birthday a while back. I did this drawing back in June and just never had the time to scan.
