A sketch a day keeps the insanity at bay

I'm trying to sketch something every single day, so I did this now although my eyes are dry and demand sleep... An ordinary human skeleton (reference: Images of the Human Body) and Caravaggio's John the Baptist. Skeletonwise, it's cool to compare how much one improved in the past year.

White and graphite pencil on colored paper.

lectures are boring III

I should make a category for these. Again sketched during the lecture. Obviously I haven't used reference, so some mistakes are evident, especially on the female — wrong direction of spine at the bottom (it should be aligned with the butt) and lower ribs are too narrow, but the figure silhouette is fine I think. Except that knees should be lower, but I ran out of paper space.

Black ballpoint pen.

eyes & lips

I'm not lazy, I was just very busy during the past week. Here's something from my sketchbook. (a couple of lips referenced from Jack Hamm, see books list for details.)

My attempt at using color pencils failed miserably. I'm missing some essential tones (like pink and peach) I can't get by mixing, and it just looks... blah.
Studies from life, day 3.

miscellaneous sketches

hand and foot

Mine. Almost.

hand and foot pencil drawing

Let's see if I can draw at least one sketch from life a day, for a week.

just limbs

Tough week, no time to draw. Here's something I did before sleep.

anatomy sketches

Good night.

airplane boredom

I planned to draw a lot on my short trip to London, but instead I used it to recover my health and get some sleep.
This is the only sketch I did, made in mechanical pencil. Reference is from Peck's "Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist".
(there are some anatomical mistakes, I'm aware of it.)

I couldn't resist it

I was convincing myself I don't really need a sketchblog, since I usually upload my unrefined work in the deviantART scraps, and I can also blog about my drawing stuff there, but somehow I wasn't comfortable with it. Plus, this leaves room for so much possibilities... okay, I know. I'm just making up excuses for opening another site.
Like it, or don't.

Here are some of my anatomy highlights from a couple of months ago.

I like to sketch

So I decided to give my doodles, studies, in-development and other stuff a decent home.

Nudity, blood and gore are present on some of the images displayed here — you have been warned.
