Donovan McNabb

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Another athlete courtesy of Sports Illustrated.  In this case, Donovan McNabb doing what he does best: scramble out of trouble.

This sketch started out as just a study of his arm and hand, but I thought I needed to give the disembodied arm a little bit of context; so I sketched out the rest of his body.  Maybe if I do enough drawings of individual parts, I’ll be able to put them together into a cohesive whole someday.  This method was good enough for students during The Renaissance; it should work for me.  Right?

federerIn keeping with my goal to draw more people, I decided to draw this pic of Roger Federer from a recent Sports Illustrated.  This was my 2nd sketch, and the one I am happiest with.

This is what the rest of the page looks like:

Pouring Water Into A Glass

glass-sketchSketched from a photo on Stock.xchange.  The drawing is out of proportion and crooked, which I attribute to the couple of glasses of wine I drank before pulling out my sketchbook; but if you squint and look away quickly, it might fool your eye just a little.

Oh well, learn from your mistakes and move on, right?
