ink girl























Just a fairly quick drawing from my sketchbook, playing with ink. I did a quick rough of the girl with a colerase pencil, then used a calligraphy nib for the line work. I added values using an ink wash, as well as adding a bit of texture. I filled in the background with some markers.

new web site!!!














I haven't been getting a lot of drawing done the past few days as I have been trying to get my new web site done before the holidays. And here it is!


www.jaretts.com



Big shout out to my good buddy Cory that gave me a hand with figuring out a bunch of the code, which is pretty foreign to me.

Lazy Bonez



















The Sketchaholic theme was "Lazy Bones". These two just wasted away playing their NES.

Layzie Bone and the rest of the "Bone Thugs-n-Harmony" after the jump.

practicing with tom waits
























Tom Waits, blue col-erase pencil

A picture of Tom Waits I drew in my sketchbook using a photo reference I grabbed online, just practicing my portrait drawing.

Listen to a couple sad Tom Waits songs I've been playing the past few days after the jump, they both have sort of a blue feeling/theme which is fitting...
