A Sketch A Day - Scooter

Yeah, I got this idea the other day that I really wanted to draw my 8' tall character Miles on a scooter. I have no idea how that got into my head (I think I saw a really tall, big guy on a really small scooter while I was in town or something), but I just couldn't get it out of my head, so I finally broke down and drew it. First, I made some small ink sketches.

You can even see how tall he is compared to his 5 foot-something girlfriend there in the middle.

It turns out that I chose a really bad paper, because once I had sketched it out, it wouldn't let me erase the pencil without smudging, so I just inked on top of it, hoping to be able to fade out the grey in scanning. It sort of worked.



And that's how it turned out. I'm not too happy with the perspective in some places, especially with the wheels. I had so many problems with those wheels.
I think I'll transfer this to a better paper and try to color it later.

A Sketch A Day - On the Bus

I had planned to do some life drawings today, but I ended up hurrying everywhere I went, so I only found time to do one drawing while on the bus home.

A Sketch A Day - People

I was at an appointment at a school I'm applying for, and I took some time to sit down and draw some people. Unfortunately, not many people walked by.



Some women who were talking on their cellphones, and finally an old lady on the bus.s

A Sketch A Day - Ink Sketches

Testing out some nibs, and a reservoir School-G pen I just got. I'm a bit sad that the ink in the G pen gets a bit grey once it dries, so I'll stick with my ink bottles for inking.

A Sketch A Day - Color!

I got a box with 12 of Derwent's Coloursoft pencils around my birthday in March. So I thought I'd get around to try them out now. I really like how soft they are, and I think it could be a good way to teach me not to be so heavy-handed when I draw.


This guy has some pretty feminine legs... Oh well.

A Sketch A Day - In Town

I was in Skellefteå earlier today, and I took some time to sketch while waiting for the bus.

There were a lot of people eating burgers in this area, but most of them moved around, so I could only capture a few of them.
