Right now my work space is getting a revamp, so there’s not to much to say, but I’m tied.

Here’s a quick look at a new project I’m starting.

Here is a sketch I started a few months ago. I always have a stack of drawings just laying around, whether it’s at home where they are scattered all over my desk or at work where I have a stack of about 30 or 40 sheets. Well, this morning when I was trying to think of something to draw to get myself warmed up for the day I saw my old doodles, just reached over and pulled from the bottom and here is the image that came out. I quickly inked it, adding a lot of the heavy dark shadows, scanned it and finally added a little color in PhotoShop.

Wow! I’m glad that stack finally came in handy.

The best time for me to do my quick sketching is all the in-between times at work. When a file is opening I lean over and draw a quick couple of lines. It’s amazing what you can do with a minute here and a minute there. The printer is spooling a large InDesign file or maybe you’re opening a 75mb PSD these are all good times to put the pencil to paper and get a quick idea out, but the trick is being able to stop. I don’t know how I do it but I’m able to go from drawing mode back to design mode quickly so this works from me. This drawing took me all of 15 or 20 minutes every so often through out an eight hour day, so give it a shot and see what you come up with.
