Scketches

This is where my scketchy drawings will show up!

Introducing myself into scketchbooks matter:

I still remember the first day in Illustration drawing classroom, and  those few words of my teacher at that time.

It was at Xavier Moreno's drawing class, he started introducing himself to the class and after a few minutes he took from his pocket a little "moleskine" pad drawing and told us something that shocked me out:   "buy one of these things and carry it on with you wherever you go and draw everyday even if its only 10 minuts drawing!Everywhere!, that's the way to impoove your drawing skills."

From that moment, I knew I had to do it. I've never heard that simple and obvious thing "constancy without excuses" that was the key, and I realized I didn't think about it before though we do that in an inconcious way, but we tend to not put the effort claimed by that term :"constancy", so since then, I've filled up some scketchbooks that now here, I can show, either old and new scketches! :D

So, before closing the entry, I would like to encourage everyone who's aiming to reach next level drawing, to do so!

 
Cheers

The next few scketches you see below are done to; practice, understanding, exploring and having fun most of the times under an imagination way but also as you can see there are some investigation about hands, heads, gestures, moving things, so on and so forth.
So far from expecting do a finished product, here I will show my thoguhts and feelings aplied to a paper in a  (that allways means that are on a scketchy level somehow)
