2nd Draft

As the name states……..it’s only a draft…….the major changes have to do with the figures in the foreground. Some of their proportions are off…(either to long or to short)...or slightly distorted (the chest position of the left most figure). And frankly, their poses are way too stiff and rigid. They need to appear a little looser (the right most figure)…but only a little. Anyway those are just some of the changes needed..the most obvious ones..for the list goes on and on……………

I’ll explain what it’s about when I post the completed sketch.

It’s that time again

A friend from school asked me to design a logo for his band. “Axios Pharos” is the band name. Pharos was a light house constructed by Alexander the Great. So yeah an ancient lighthouse…easy enough to find references. Now what to sketch for “Axios”…I’ll have to do more research on the meaning of the word....

Yet Another

A girl named Jordan who goes to my school, liked my sketch Newly Remembered Dream. She asked me to sketch her a bird. Ok, sure sounds good. This is her sketch called Traveling Dove.
My original idea was simply to have a dove in the center of the page. But, I liked how the dove turned out so I added to my idea. I really have come to like the moon and its drawn variations, so I added the same moon shape that my other recent sketch has. After completing the dove and the moon, I almost instantly hear the song Fly Me to the Moon in my mind. Good song, you should listen to it sometime.
As you can see, its not quite finished yet, but almost. I really hope she likes it…

Fin.

I think its done; wait, I know its done. I originally called this Newly Caught Love; well I'm changing it. Its new title is: Newly Remembered Dream. Why change the title? After thinking, I realized: you cannot catch love...yeah...grrr. But, you can remember love, and dreams of love.. Besides, there are music notes in it now; for me that kind of gave it a dream-like quality. If you can tell me what sheet music is sketched in, you get a cookie (that's right a cookie, again).
I could tell you the meaning behind the sketch, but it would be more interesting if you interpreted it and found your own meaning. Let me know what you find.
I ended up giving it to a dear dear (really close) friend of mine…I call her Wind. (I don’t think you can make out my “legal” name…but “Joe” is one of the several names I go by)

Almost Finished

I’ve been sketching for a while. But the first true sketching I ever did was in a place called Aurora Vista del Mar Hospital during my stay there about a year ago. Anyway, I digress. This is my latest piece (I have many “latest“ pieces, but this is the one I‘m working on the most) called Newly Caught Love. I’m still finishing up the sketch, but you get the idea. If your curious about the details just talk to me about it; I’m not really in the mood to type out its description now (haha I feel lazy).
