Sketches 5

A page from my 2023 sketchbook. Scroll to the bottom to see the tour.

What’s this? This is a chance for me to share some sketches from my process. I share process art a lot with different projects but sometimes I just love looking back at the sketches I made before painting some of my personal or client work. Sometimes the sketches are better than the final! Something about the energy in them. Anyone, check them out and let me know which you like.

A sketch of Mousie from “Mi Vida Loca”, here’s more.

Digital sketch for a “meet the artist” piece I did.

Sketch for a Black history month piece about cartoonist Charles Johnson

Video: Sketchbook Tour 4

I’m a sketchbook lover since I was a kid and I have tons of them. For the past 3 years I have been sharing them via video tours like these and specific sketchbook pages like this one from this same book.

What are these? This is a video where I flip through my sketchbook and show some of my doodles, drawings, paintings, and ideas in between client and personal work. Watch and share.

Here’s a page from my 2021 sketchbook. In between working for others and dreaming up my own books or projects I keep these sketchbooks to practice. Some of this page came out as a cool experiment and some was just play.

Here’s a video tour of this sketchbook. Enjoy.

What’s a sketchbook page? A sketchbook is a great place to play, experiment, and practice. Been keeping one with me in one form or another for over 25 years. Some books are just for letters, some are for landscapes, some for writing down ideas, some for client work, and sometimes I mix them all up.
