DAG's Sketchbook

Here are a bunch of sketches & drawings I did while riding the train these last couple of months.

Here are some recent drawings within' the last couple months. Click the "read more" link below to see all of the images. Enjoy!

Here are a few of my more recent additions using digital media, all of them done with Autodesk Sketchbook. Enjoy! 😃

So I had a some momentum and enthusiasm when I started this thing, but it's tapered off a lot. In a desire to not let this dwindle completely here are some drawings I've done over the last year or so.  

So I've been drawing in a cool Facebook group called "One a Day". If you feel like you want to rekindle some of that artistic flame that once shone brighter in your life, you should come over and join. Just search for "One a Day" ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/614192302010104/ ) mention that you saw my blog that told you to join, and I'll add you (no robots please...not that I have anything against robots, but until you gain total skynet sentience, then no go). Here's the image that you'll see for our Cover Photo: In the meantime, here are some "archived" older drawings that I wanted to post. Enjoy: This is the all seeing eye as found on the dollar bill. I've always been fascinated with Egyptology and hidden knowledge. This was supposed to be a very organic and free flowing hilt of a sword. Can't remember the inspiration for this one. These were more recent, taken from a series of photos of people of the worl...

Because I'm feeling kind of lazy, and don't know if I really want to do a drawing today, I'm going to declare today "Throwback Friday". But I would like to post something that you haven't seen before. So I perused through my sketchbook and journal and took a few shots. They are the real drawings where I just let loose and draw for my enjoyment, and not as a means to present a finished piece. So here they are... I'm going to actually start it out with one that I didn't draw. This is a drawing done by my oldest brother Garry. It's Andy Warhol. I always looked up to him and admired his art when I was young. We both had an art teacher in highschool that really impacted both of us. I kind of liked these alien dudes. Might have to develop them more. I can't remember which artist inspired this one, but I liked it enough to try and replicate their technique. My oldest son was obsessed with National Geographic magazines, as his granp...

I wanted to post a quick drawing as well as some information on an online inking class. First here is a quick drawing I did tonight. It's a cat creature, and it was somewhat inspired by a page of "cats", lions, tigers, etc that Mel Milton had done recently.   Otherwise I have been "liking" and following a bunch of different artists and illustrators through facebook.  One artist and illustrator is Yuko Shimizu. She is a master inker, and an amazing artist. She is putting on an inking class for $9/month, and I have considered joining it. Here is the link to sign up in case you're interested: http://skl.sh/1hjtYIR Well, keep on drawing and creating, and I'll be back tomorrow to post a new piece.
