Here is a video I made regarding the art of quick sketch and some ways to set yourself up for a good session.  Motivation is the name of the game and I have several illustrated in this video.  The video is sped up so as not to bore you, and I apologize for the breathing of the camera.  When the video footage is sped up it is really obvious that I am wearing a chest camera. Thank you for watching.  Pass this on if you find this instruction useful. and thank you again.

Here is the last video of this series on quick sketch drawing done in an academic approach.

Here is the video on 3 minute quick sketches.

In order?   Nah....here is the first of the videos in the series.  Sorry they are out of order.

Hello, just adding a new entry here to the page for once.  This is also on Lemenaid but I figure since I am trying to resuscitate the blogs I would put this on both. I will bring up more entries here within the next few months as I link all my pages together and hopefully stay on top of the blogs in the near future.

This is a photo of Peter Hewitt.  I do not currently know who shot this photo but I will find out soon. So, what I want to do is take this photo and find a spot somewhere else next to impossible to take this image. I am going to put the camera under the board or behind it as if this was a clear tunnel. First thing to do is learn the original pose so we can proceed forward with more working confidence.  So study the image and do a drawing from its perspective, in this case I am using figure construction methods to help me determine the volume presented before me. Here is the drawing that I did a study of to start the process. Note that I have analyzed the volumes cylindrically and I have also found the camera angle from which the photo was taken. Next we will break down the image into what would be termed an orthographic view.  WHY?  A good p
