If you havent’s gone there, d check it out. Sketch-a-day was started as a personal project to keep the skills sharp by sketching every day. If you’ve watched my videos or seen me in person, you’ll know that I’m a BIG fan of sketching every day. Nothing beats consistent practice and exploration. That said, life throws curveballs at you, and try as I may, sometimes I miss a day, or two, or a week. That doesn’t mean I’m not sketching though. usually I have my head buried in a project with a client or have some family business to take care of. In any case, I try. That’s the key.

Here are a few of my favorite sketches that I’ve had fun doing over the last few weeks and beyond. Click the image or click beyond the fold for the gallery of picks.

Some are from a few years ago when i was just getting started, and others more recent.
