This is the first post in my new sketch-blog. I am making it a new goal to post at least one page, if not more, every day. By that, I mean pages of my sketchbook. Nothing fancy, just whatever doodles I did. I'm hoping this will be a way to force myself to draw more, and not be lazy. If I have people bugging me that I didn't post anything in 3 days, maybe I will be inspired to step it up a bit. As a note to friends or family that visit this, please remember that I might be sending this to potential employers to show how my creativity flows. So if you make comments, keep them appropriate. Nothing rude or overly personal, please.
These two pages are from the past couple days and today. I got a new book on facial expressions, so I have been practicing with them. The picture of the woman is adding a body to the face and working on modifying it a little to suit the image, not just coppying the face exactly.

Hey, good to see you starting a sketch blog! I think you're already off to a really impressive start. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
oooo, you have some interesting facial expressions. I especially like the one of the girl with her head tilted back, like she's watching something in the sky.
A sketch blog seems like a good idea =) Keep it up!
Excellent!
Congratulations! You are off to a good start. It's the discipline that matters. I love the toothy smiling guy in center of the page here. You captured a lot of character and expression. Also, kudos on the sketch in the lower left corner looking up at the woman's face. For me, and many artists this is one of the most difficult angles of the face to draw. It really destroys your preconceptions of how your mind thinks a face and head is constructed in terms of volumes. I literally filled hudreds of sketch book pages just trying to master this angle. The result was I developed a new and greater understanding of how the human face and skull is constructed and it helped me draw the face better from other angles, because I started to see the face more as it is, rather than how my preconceptions saw it.
