Daily Doodle - November 19, 2010

Yeah, this blogging business is a piece of cake
and kind of addictive (I'm up well after my bedtime
playing with this stuff).

Firefighters

Since the beginning of August, I've been drawing firefighters. Why? Well, my brother turns 40 this year and I wanted to give him something special for his birthday. Since he's a volunteer firefighter, I thought I'd paint a picture of him fighting fires. Below are some of my sketches that show the development of the final image which is shown at the bottom.

LOL - Just getting warmed up


Drew this with a stick


Quick pen and ink sketch


I considered doing a group portrait, but my attempts at that didn't go too well.


Just doodling here, but he kind of reminds of Gary Glitter.





I really like this drawing.


I like working across the pages in my sketch book.



Final image - 16 x 25 inch, ink wash drawing. I'm really pleased with this.
