Developing a "Style"

Aloha Sketchmonkeys!  I just stumbled across this succinct but profound blog post by professional concept artist Noah Bradley.  It's really short, and well worth the read.  I feel it applies to sketching just as much as painting:

Link!

don't forget to check out his other concept art, there's some pretty slick stuff in his portfolio!

Alsoplus, a sketch from a roadtrip to Wyoming a while ago, I just posted it on my blog, but I thought it would be good to post it here too. He's an old biker I saw outside of Devils Tower in Northeastern Wyoming.

Ever'day people doin' their thing P)

Sketched this guy in Rapid City, SD over break.  Poor gangsta . . . he was having trouble keeping up with his homies :'(

This one was witnessed, no joke, at the Wendy's on Bulldog today.  She waited for him to chew . . . echh. :)

Baby at the bean museum this afternoon, reaching for a prarie dog . . . awwww :)

Hip Wal-Mart guy from a recent sketch-crawl with Kendall and Mitch

Nephite Haberdasher lady.  Haberdashery is the business of selling buttons and sewing materials.  Fun word :) When I learned the word I had to draw something about it ;)  Hey, that could be a fun sketch game!

Have the fun!

1st Post!

Hey guys, this is Josh.  I've been sketching, but not posting, and the guilt has been welling up inside me    like a  forgotten water-balloon on the faucet.  So; here you go :)


These are all like a month old, i still need to scan conference . . .

"Bandit at Sebus"- one of the Lamanite mauraders who attacked Ammon in the Book of Mormon, Alma chapter ~18?  oh yeah, and crazy Lamanite nunchuck swords!  We're going for historical accuracy, folks ;)

Mahonri the Earth Bender!  Ether 12:30- "For the brother of Jared said unto the mountain Zerin, Remove—and it was removed."

Ok, so I was collecting dendelions, manly man that i am, and i thought, rather randomly - 'hmm, what if there was a sailing airship that flew the same way dandelions do?' so yeah.  I'd like to do a painting of it at some point, after I finish everything I'm currently procrastinating.  huzzah!

Ok, so there was a presentation in the HFAC about a month ago that involved a dance off.  And . . . yup.

Joseph Smith's first vision

Another sketch from the aforementioned presentation.  It concluded with Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle's interpretation of "Oliver Twist".  A lot of the big name actors do stints on stage or in broadway after their hollywood career starts to wane.  I had wondered what ever happened to that guy . . . .
