Doodles from my sketchbook
Here's where the rubber meets the road. This is where it all happens. The learning that is. Finished images are nice but we need to get there somehow and for me and many other artist's that I know it's through our sketch books. The interesting thing here is that these sketches aren't even in a sketchbook yet and I'll tell you why..
In order for me to really throw caution to the wind and draw without restraints I often just carry around printer paper with me and draw on that using a ball point pen or Micron pen. Anywhere I go I'm doodling on these pages trying to work out movement, form, ideas, characters, anatomy, personality, etc…I want to be able to draw without limits and to touch that freedom you have to put in the work on the page. By drawing on plain printer paper there's no pressure because it's just scrap paper right. You can throw it out if nothing good occurs. That's the beauty of it though. That's the frame of mind you need to explore, and challenge yourself to understand the things you need to know in pursuit of your understanding as an artist. These images have been scanned from many pieces of paper and complied here to show you some of the thought process that goes on behind the scenes.
