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?

I think that your sketches are great! I like this one very much – I think that less details in the parts other than the arm gives a sense of motion. Very well done.
Well, it seems to be working for you just fine! This is a great sketch!
Whoa! You really captured a sense of movement here!
