Deery's Sketches 2.0

Because I needed a little spring cleaning... but I'll try not to make any more new threads for my artwork. ;)

Here's just a quick sketch last night that I did of Eartha Kitt, trying to caricature her. I'm absolutely in love with her and I've been wanting to caricature her for a while, so it was inevitable.

Whoops, just realized her right hand is cut off... :lol:

And THIS is an original character I've been trying to develop for years now. He's a cartoon pygmy marmoset that will eventually be modeled, rigged and animated in 3d. This is the closest I've gotten to nailing his "look" down on paper- with colored pencils.

Now that I'm more or less confident with the face, I should definitely start drawing his entire body more often (he'll generally be a cutesy, two-heads-tall pear shaped type). Updates will come soon.

Also, just for fun, I drew this little girl entirely from my imagination a while ago and I'm still proud of it, but I don't remember posting it here before.

Yayy, I finally did something productive!

Here are a bunch of manly figure sketches I made last night from random (sexy) internet photos. This time I was more sloppy (but still slow, a few minutes or more each), drawing a kind of posed stick figure first as if I was making him out of armature wire, and then scribbling in lots of ovals for different segments of the anatomy as if I was slapping some clay on the wire, to later sculpt into something more detailed. It certainly makes the drawings look a little more impressive, with all the scribbling. Hope that method is helping me.

This one was especially fun to work on. :D

This last pic I'm proud of because I actually took the time to map out the proportions, and it looks better because of it. Sorry about the quality of the pics, btw, my scanner's not working properly so I took pictures.

Wow, these are really good. :D
I love drawing, but i can only draw things, not people.

YES to everything in this thread.

Keep going, keep going, keep going!

Thanks guys! Tara, you're so sweet. :D Glad to know there's at least one fan of me around here.

I checked out an instructional art book from the library called Simplified Anatomy For The Comic Book Artist, and it's got really good instruction. While following it, I got some good practice and made up these chicks from scratch.

^She immediately turned into an Asian K-Pop girl once I drew a ponytail.

My scanner pooped out on me after that, again, so I apologize for the following poorly photographed, dimly lit drawings. These are characters I followed from the book's directions.

Following those drawings, I decided to test out these methods on a picture of Seth MacFarlane

Then my sister told me to draw Uhura from her Star Trek movie poster in her room.

I especially like how Uhura turned out and had fun doing it.

Then I drew this monster from the book.

The next chapter is finally about bodies, so stay tuned! ;)

sweeet dood!@ Seth MacFarlane

you taken request?

Thanks greenhavoc! I have tried taking some requests in the past, but if I'm not personally interested in the subject of the request as well, then it's highly likely that I won't get around to it.
