Sketch Book 42: Old Snake

Sketch: Old Snake

This is supposed to be Snake from the Metal Gear series, but it looks a lot like I carved him out of melting wax and then sketched the result. I did this one October 4th with charcoal.

Sketch: Female Inside Arms

I actually did this charcoal sketch directly after the previous pencil sketch because I disliked the other so much, haha. This one is very simplistic but shows a decent amount of form for being such a quick sketch.

Book Review: The Terminal Man

Sketch Book 40: Arm And Back

Arm and Back

It looks like I am behind on posting the random sketches in my sketch book, so I’ll try to catch up (this one is from October 3rd!). This is a simple/quick sketch of an arm and back of a male subject, using a soft pencil (maybe 6B?). Yeah, it’s definitely rough and not really worth posting other than because of my decision to post every page of my sketch book. I’ll queue up some posts for the next few days to try to catch up though, and those sketches are much better than this one.

USPS Fail

I’ve been meaning to post this picture for a while, but I just finally got around to it today. A letter for Stuart in Florida somehow ended up in my mailbox (I’m Ian, and I live in Washington State). Our names and addresses are completely different, so I have no idea how it happened. I think Obama was right when he said, “It’s the post office that’s always having problems.”
