I love the last one. There's a warmth and real feeling of the person's likeness, not just pencil on paper. That's something I really can't do and I admire. I think it's cool that you can do looser, more figurative work and accurate, anatomically correct sketches. I tend to see people either be good at one or the other x

I consider myself more of a "life artisan" these days... so I thought I'd post the sketch up I did of my potential bathroom remodel. I'm trying to ditch the shitty tub/shower combo and somehow fit an ofuro (japanese soaking tub). Should be an interesting project anyway!

Current state: pocket door opens to vanity, sink, and toilet on right, tub/shower combo at end. Side by side washer/dryer behind folding doors on left, next to deep linen/utility closet closest to the pocket door. 1981 was not a great year for design...

"After" picture: including stackable front loading washer/dryer, reconfigured and more accessible "walk in" shelving, tiled in shower space with sliding glass enclosure big enough to fit free standing tub while still accommodating the seated (eastern style) shower area to the right, as well as stand up shower head for people who prefer to stand. Toilet would be moved to area behind newly hung right hand door, vanity and sink installed directly opposite entry (feng shui faux pas). I think it would be fun to hang as many large mirrors on the walls as I can.

Also, a pea pod baby Halloween costume I made (although I got the idea from someone else):

I'll give you a tip - stop obsessing over being perfect right from the start. By the time you've done all your shading, you've invested a lot of time and effort into something that's not anatomically correct. Use a light pencil (like a 2H or harder) with very light pressure to place all your features, then switch to a softer grade to reinforce your shapes and finally a very soft/dark grade to emphasize key features. Be very loose and try to put personality into your lines and you'll find that you can do a lot more in a lot less time. When I started loosening up, a quick pleasing style started forming. Try limiting your time and if you don't like what you've done in the first stage, start over! Don't be stubborn and keep squeezing blood from a stone. Hope this helps! :)

i luv this one

odd que, what kinda paper do you use ?
Thank you, that was a sketch of a friend of mine :) This was on regular old paper, I usually use a sketch book where the paper has a tooth (texture) which is much nicer to sketch on.

Yepp, I do all my own designs. I get into different modes, with different woods. You are spot on about the Danish-Federal thing. I had acquired some maple to do some Saarinen chairs while I was working at a museum and that design popped out,lol. I got interested in Barbie as an art form when I saw the Barbie death Camp at Burning man. Fucking awesomely outrageous! Your work makes me smile out loud, and thanks for the kind words.
