Warm-up Sketch...



I've been working on this sketch of John McCain for about a week now. I'll only spend about 5 or 10 minutes per session on it, so that I can keep coming back to it with fresh eyes. Like I've said before, I struggle with values, especially balancing them throughout the drawing, so I'm hoping these types of sketches will help me improve.

I'm posting it now, as a work-in-progress, with the hopes that some of you will be kind enough to leave any comments, suggestions or critiques that come to mind. Believe me, any and all thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Warm-up Sketch...



This is a very simplified graphite sketch of myself that I just finished for a wrestling fan. I tried to keep this as loose as possible. I was also shooting for a minimum of lines while still maintaining a decent likeness.

Warm-up Sketch...



This is a warm-up sketch I did of conservative radio host/Fox News talking head, Sean Hannity. I have a lot of trouble with values. That's something I've really been trying to work on.

Another "Lashing Out!"...


This is another "Lashing Out!" cartoon that appeared in The Wrestler. The storyline? A Leprechaun-ish "little person" whom referred to himself as "Hornswoggle" being exposed as Vince McMahon's illegitimate son. Their similarities, of course, are obvious...

"Lashing Out!"



This is a "Lashing Out!" cartoon I drew for The Wrestler last summer. The storyline was a supposed Vince McMahon "death" caused by a "car bomb." Needless to say, the "death" storyline was short-lived due to the very real tragedy of Chris Benoit and his family.
