Very Ed Emberly. His books got me into drawing.

Same 🙌🏻

Not sure if you have it, but I strongly suggest this book. Its pricey but it has everything of his.

I got this second-hand without the sleeve and not a cloth cover. But only $20!

This post is my first "show more like this". I have been sketching in black and white for so long - wanting to dive into color. Love your work

When I started using color, I chose only 3 markers/colors to keep things very simple. Years later and I still only use those 3 colors most of the time. You could even start with one or two if you want.

I am getting a 50s/mid-century vibe from these sketches.

I love what you're doing here! Completely different from how I work. I gotta try it.

Thanks!

Only if you want to draw. I always did art on breaks from school, at night after work. For a long time I thought free time = art time. Now as a full time artist you need real breaks to recharge.

I will want to draw, but then I’d just be working. Trying to think if I should set it all aside for a few days lol. Watch TV, make some good food 🤷🏼‍♂️

I finally did a real break over the holidays. Didn't even walk into the studio. Give it a couple of days with no work. You'll be so ready to go back.
