I haven’t posted any gesture drawings in a while, so here are few recent ones. What do you guys do with all your old life drawings? Keep them? Trash them? Give them away/sell them?

Always in between bigger paintings I try to do quick sketches to keep myself loose and have fun, and to remind myself that more polish  is not always better.  Here’s a fast robot from the other night.

My buddy Phroi has done some great work on Diablo 3, and I think this one was inspired by his excellent barbarian sketches.

Here’s one I was sketching tonight. I finally got it to a half decent point after a couple  hours of  fighting with it. maybe I’ll come back to it later and finish it with fresh eyes.
