This drawing is from my February 12, 1992 to June 23, 1993 sketchbook. I like the freedom and spontaneity of the line treatment and the abstract flow of the curving lines. The drawing of the feet is weak though.
The drawing on the left was drawn first; the drawing on the right was drawn on the reverse side of the same sketchbook page. I was going through my “Kirby” phase (early/mid 90’s) when I did these.
I was in my Jack Kirby phase when I did this drawing.
Since I’ve been posting recent Ad Marker sketches executed in a sketchbook (“THE PAPER IN THIS BOOK HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY CHOSEN FOR PEN AND INK SKETCHING AND FOR FELT TIP MARKERS”) I decided to scan and post other sketches done in this same book, from even further in the past. This one was done with ink and coquille pen over 20 years ago.
Another in a series of quick sketch drawings, done to test a large quantity of inherited Ad Markers. They were mostly still pretty good.
Another quick sketch, done to test a large lot of unexpectedly inherited Ad Markers.
Another quick sketch, done to test a load of unexpectedly inherited Ad Markers.
This quick sketch would also have worked for Valentine’s Day.
Another in a series of quick sketches, done to test Ad Markers. Since it’s predominantly green, it seems appropriate to St. Patricks Day.
