Here is a scan/collage of a bunch of pages from my sketchbook. These were all done within around the last two weeks or so. I've been mostly working on figure/life drawing within my school's orchestra (I play the cello normally, but a shortage of school instruments means I get every other day off to draw), but there also are some jarred bird studies for a painting I've been planning and the bent knee of my jeans.
This week, in preparation for the aforementioned bird painting, I painted on gesso'd wood for the first time. As it was just for practice, I wanted to do something expressive and relatively quick. This turned out a lot cartoonier and pop-artier than I expected, but I still like it. It's a nice personal piece, even though it is a little bit depressing... (Acrylic and sharpie on gesso'd wood, by the way)
